This was such an incredible experience and definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Kauai! Nan and Rashard were the BEST. They did an amazing job teaching us how to rappel down the waterfalls in a way that made everything easy to understand and helped us feel confident and comfortable. They were encouraging us and cheering us on every step of the way, which made the experience even more fun and memorable. Rappelling down waterfalls in Kauai is something we’ll never forget. Definitely a must-do if you’re visiting the island!

Let me tell you how good this tour is…

The waterfall rappelling was incredible. The only part I wouldn’t recommend is my unique decision to slip in the mud on the hike back and break my leg. And here’s the crazy part: I’d go back in a heartbeat. That’s how good this experience is!!! Huge shout-out to Matt for helping carry me up the mountain after my less-than-graceful dismount. If you’re looking for adventure, unforgettable views, and guides who are an absolute 10/10 (A+, truly exceptional), this is it. My advice: do the waterfall rappelling… just skip the “breaking your leg” add-on package. Everything else about this experience was absolutely outstanding. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for the tour! (⭐️☆☆☆☆ for my landing.)

Fun day in the waterfalls

This was such a fun and challenging experience. We are a family of 5: myself, my husband, and three daughters 18, 15 and 12. We are an active family and my husband I have repelled before but the girls had not. We all enjoyed it a-lot. The hiking part is nothing to be worried about and the guides are so patient and great teachers.
