Hawaii Nature Tours, Kauai with Kayak Paddling to Wailua Secret Falls. Paddling to Secret Falls. Combine idyllic paddling with a hike to Bridal-Veil waterfall. This relaxing and safe 5-hour tour is a wonderful waterfall adventure for the whole family. It combines idyllic paddling on the Wailua River and a hike to a remote waterfall. The Wailua River became the center of activity for early Hawaiians and is known as one of Hawaii's two most sacred places. At night, it is said that one can still hear ancient drums thunder.
Hike Along an Ancient Trail
The trail leading to our secret waterfall is a beautiful "greenhouse" where flowers, brooks and ferns abound. The early Polynesian culture is represented here, steeped in a colorful past, rich with rock-wall terracing, legends and lore. The setting for this jaunt is tranquil and tropical, the pace is unhurried.
We delight in sharing the peaceful, pastoral existence of ancient Hawaii with you. Bird watch for a night heron or coot. Swim in the pool at the falls. Come share the life and natural history of this mystical land and enjoy its great quiet with us.

It would be great if the guide could remind group to reapply bug repellant after walking through streams/going in swimming hole!

I had requested the afternoon tour, NOT the morning tour, and when I arrived, I was not on the guide's manifest. Luckily, there was room to accommodate us. However, the error by HawaiiActive.com could have turned out worse.
