Hidden Valley Falls Kayak Adventure

Outfitters Kauai Duration: 3.5 hours
Paddle the calm Huleia River through the Huleia National Wildlife Refuge, then hike through a lush fern-covered valley to waterfalls and a swimming hole. After the hike and waterfall stop, rather than kayaking back upstream, relax on a motorized canoe ride back to the starting area.

Hidden Valley Falls Kayak Adventure

The Hidden Valley Falls Kayak Adventure is an easygoing Kauai kayak tour on the gentle Huleia River. Enjoy a 2-mile downwind paddle through the Huleia National Wildlife Refuge, a peaceful area known for its beautiful river scenery, mountain views and tropical greenery. 

After the kayak portion, the adventure continues with a 1.5-mile roundtrip nature hike through a fern-covered valley. Along the trail, you'll walk through lush jungle scenery toward a series of three pool-drop waterfalls and a refreshing swimming hole. The guide shares stories about the valley, local legends and the natural surroundings.

Along the way, enjoy views of the Haupu Mountain Range and the 2,000-foot shield volcano that rises above the river area. After the hike and waterfall stop, rather than kayaking back upstream, relax on a motorized canoe ride back to the starting area. This tour is easy-going fun and excitement for everyone without a whole lot of work.
