We'll start our Outfitters Kauai kayak tours by paddling our tandem kayaks deep into the heart of the Kauai island jungle. Where the river gets shallow, we'll tie our kayaks to a tree and start the Kauai hiking tour! These Kauai activities involve taking a 3/4-mile hike up the valley to a charming area of waterfalls and swimming holes. On the way back from the Kauai hiking tour you'll be picked up in a twin-hulled powered Hawaiian canoe for the return trip.
This downwind portion of the Outfitters Kauai kayak tours is about a two mile paddle. We'll go through the Hule'ia Nat'l Wildlife Refuge, a place for the preservation of endangered Hawaiian water birds. Seeing some of the unique Hawaiin flora and fauna on these Kauai activities will be a once in a lifetime experience! We'll paddle past the Alekoko (Menehune) Fishpond, a living archaeological site. Our backdrop during the Kauai kayak tours is the magnificent Haupu Mountain Range, a dramatic and majestic 2000' shield volcano that looms over the river. Throughout the journey your guides will tell you exciting stories about the supernatural inhabitants of the valley in days gone by. Interestingly, Hule'ia has been the site of filming for a wide range of major motion pictures, including Raiders of the Lost Ark, Jurassic Park and it's sequel Lost World. There is so much to see on the Hidden Valley Falls Kayak Tour from Outfitters Kauai, and Kauaidiscount.com doesn't want you to miss a minute of the adventure with these unique Kauai activities!
Next we'll leave our kayaks behind, and set out on a 1.5 mile round trip Kauai Hiking Tour. This Kauai hiking tour is actually a guided nature walk through a pristine tropical rain forest containing many different communities of plants, birds, and aquatic life, both native and introduced. Once again these Kauai activities from Kauaidiscount.com and Outfitters Kauai will allow you the opportunity to bask in island beauty! We'll stop along the way on our Kauai hiking tour at swimming holes with rope swings and then finally reach our destination: Hidden Valley Falls, a captivating series of pool-drop waterfalls cascading over black lava rock. We'll have some snacks and cold drinks, enjoy the scenery for a while, and then head back down to the river for a fun trip back in our double-hulled powered canoe. It's cheating, but who cares? These Kauai kayak tours are pure fun!
