This is a guided kayak tour up the Wailua River, the only navigable river in all of Hawaii. You'll paddle a spacious tandem ruddered kayak deep into the heart of Kauai's rainforest through the Wailua River State Park.
You'll then land your kayak and enjoy a one-mile hike past the remains of ancient Hawaiian home sites to a 100-foot waterfall. Here you can cool off if you wish or relax by the swimming hole. You'll also be served a delicious picnic lunch before hiking back down to your kayak for more fun paddling.
