Rainbow Kayak Tours in Kapaa, Kauai

Welcome to the Wailua River's most "da kine" tour - Rainbow Kayak Tours. Paddle the majestic Wailua River, original home of the first Hawaiians, who paddled 1500 miles from the Marquesas Islands to Kaua`i almost 1500 years ago. Hear the legends and learn about the flora and fauna of Kauai`s most sacred area. After paddling past numerous Heiaus (hallowed shrines), you will view ancient Kamokila Village. Soon you will come to the North Fork where you will paddle leisurely through the Garden Isle's most beautiful jungle river until you come to the trail head for Secret Falls.

Enjoy a moderate hike through Kauai rainforest to an enchanting waterfall, which descends 80` into a natural pool surrounded by rocks and vegetation - made famous when it was featured in the opening scene of the popular television show, Fantasy Island. Inclement weather rarely stops this fantastic journey!

Check-in times: 7:15 AM & 12:30 PM. The 4-1/2 hour trip includes lunch. Eat Hawaiian style after choosing ham, turkey, or vegetarian sandwiches plus beverage and chips.
