The kayak and hike to the waterfall was perfect! Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable on the Hawaiian history of the area.
Kauai at it's finest!!

Great experience!! Our guide, Kayak Zak, was great... informative, and very funny. Moderate kayak and hiking experience. Tougher kayaking on the way back due to the headwinds. I would highly recommend this tour even for a beginner.
Response from Host , Jun 2022
Thank you for choosing to join us at Rainbow Kayak Tours, and taking a moment out of your schedule to leave us a review. We are happy to hear you enjoyed Zach's company. Yes with head winds the paddle back can be a challenge. We hope you enjoyed your vacation, and hopefully we will see you in the future.
Lots of fun!

We did the this trip with our family 10 years ago. The addition of the board walks are very helpful! Our guide Allen was very calm, knowledgeable and explained everything in a detailed and concise manner. The trip was challenging and rewarding. The kayaking and hike to the waterfall were a unforgettable way to experience the nature of Kauai In an experiential manner. The trees, river and waterfall are unforgettable!
Great adventure

Frustrating yet beyond rewarding!

We had zero experience kayaking, and we were frustrated with our inability to steer, but we pushed through. We bonded and survived lol. Great experience hiking to the amazing waterfall. Our guide Katie was absolutely amazing and helped us throughout the entire way! Would recommend to anyone wanting to either push their boundaries or enjoy an amazing adventure!

No waterfall

No real memorable moments. Due to weather we didn't get to go to the waterfalls. You can jayak on a river anywhere the whole point was to see a waterfall so very disappointed.
Response from Host , Apr 2022
I am sorry we were unable to make it to the waterfall due to high discharge levels at the river crossing that day. Our #1 priority is the safety. There were people out there who needed assistance in rescue. Trying to attempt to cross the river at the discharge levels readings we got it dangerous. I hope that you can understand why we canceled the tour.
FUN, MUD, RAIN, and BEAUTY!

What an amazing experience! So glad we booked and we really lucked out with such an incredible tour guide, Zach. He was so engaging and very knowledgeable about the history of the island, wildlife, and much more (he's been to 33 counties)! If you get Zach, come prepared to share your best "dad jokes" and hear his as well. It's 7 miles in total and is a long day; you will definitely work your muscles and may experience heavy wind/rain while kayaking and hiking through the jungle. The scenery is insane and you can't beat this experience. A definite MUST, and Zach made it that much more memorable. Thanks for a day we'll never forget!
Fun and challenging

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
