🚣‍♂️ Outfitters Kauai - Wailua Waterfall Kayak

This is a classic Kauai kayak tour on the Wailua River. Paddle your spacious and comfortable tandem ruddered kayak deep into the heart of Kauai on Hawaii’s only navigable river, known for its gorgeous scenery. This guided kayak tour takes you through the Wailua River State Park deep into the rainforest.

After our paddle up the river, you’ll land your kayak and take a one-mile hike past remains of ancient Hawaiian home sites to a 100-foot waterfall.
