The whole tour was amazing from start to finish. Checking in for the tour was easy and quick. Our tour guides, Saber and Tony, were really fun and helpful.
We were looking for an adventure for the whole family (including a 3 and 6 year old) and this hit the mark. The kayaking was relaxing, the hike was muddy but easy, and the rope swing was a nice treat. Ross was also a great guide—my kids loved his jokes and we all appreciated his knowledge and attitude.
I would love to give this 5 stars because the actual tour is incredible! Unfortunately, we had a terrible guide today. Saber was late and slow on getting the tour started. (we were told to be there at 8:30, we did not even get started till 930) We were not given ANY instruction on our kayaks, oars, or safety. He never even mentioned life jackets. He never introduced himself or welcomed us….nothing! Shortly after heading out, one couple flipped their kayak. The woman was underneath the kayak for a period of time, lost her cell phone, and the couple was quite shaken. He seemed annoyed when several of the older ones in the group were taking a little longer and was not concerned for their safety. He was constantly on his cell phone. We were shocked! We were never given any information on the surrounding area, the history, the vegetation, absolutely nothing. I know there are other outfits that do this same tour, and I would definitely go with them over Outfitters Kauai! I called the company
Quite an adventure for a couple of oldsters with little kayak experience! Our guide Ross was so knowledgeable about the flora and fauna, as well as cultural and historical sites along the way -- and so patient and encouraging. The hike through rocky forest terrain and fording streams was rewarded with the arrival at the magnificent waterfall. The challenge was kayaking back against the wind, but, all-in-all quite exhilarating!
This paddle/hike was a super experience for both myself and my wife. We had the most amazing tour guides. Hawaiian Brian was so knowledgeable about the land, language and culture; we loved hearing all about it and learned to appreciate the land we were using. He was also generous with offering to take pretty great photos of each group in our party. Ross the Boss was attentive to all in our party and seemed genuinely interested in getting to know what we were passionate about and connecting with each of us. He shared stories about the islands, shared info and points of interest along our drive, discussed other great hiking trails on the Islands and told lots of dad jokes. This experience was a fairly easy paddle and hike to a great waterfall/pool; I’d recommend it to everybody. There was plenty of water provided and the packed lunch was delicious and plentiful. The timing of the whole experience was perfect to allow our group ample time at the waterfall without being over crowded! **
