Wailua Sacred Falls Tour

Trip Overview

Paddle and Hike in the Wailua River Area. This five-hour guided tour is a wonderful waterfall adventure for the whole family,combining idyllic paddling on the Wailua River and a hike to a remote bridal-veil waterfall. The Wailua River became the center of activity for early Hawaiians and is known as one of Hawaii’s two most sacred places.

The trail leading to the sacred waterfall is a beautiful “greenhouse” where flowers, brooks and ferns abound. Swim by the waterfall. The early Polynesian culture is represented here, steeped in a colorful past, rich with rock-wall terracing, legends and lore. The setting for this jaunt is tranquil and tropical, the pace is unhurried. Bird watch for a night heron or coot. Swim in the pools or stream leading from the falls. Come share the life and natural history of this mystical land and enjoy its great quiet! Since 1988, when this tour was first offered to the public, a lot has changed. The main change is that the “Secret Falls” is today the best known “secret” on the island. Nevertheless, your guides will help you enjoy this tour for the paddle, serenity, and scenery you will stumble upon as you discover and share with many others, one of the best kept known secrets of Kaua’i!
