    Best thing I did in Kauai!! Waterfalls are amazing and easy to access without going onto private property by yourself. Our guide was fantastic and hospitable. Made us feel safe and welcome. This is a must every time we come to Kauai!!! Mahalo nui Da Life pomaika'i!

    Waterfall rappelling

    SO EPIC! A must do experience!! The staff is awesome and makes the experience easy and comfortable. For sure down to do this again and again.

    My girlfriend bought us the waterfall rappelling tour on Kauai with Da Life Outdoors and it was an amazing experience! We got to their location on Kauai at about 8am while we checked in and waited for the other people on our tour. We met the guides Matt and Renan who were awesome the whole way through! Funny and entertaining while keeping us safe and giving us the full experience! After our entire group of 6 was ready, they took us in a van to a short drive to trailhead. Here we got some snacks and water and got a brief explanation of what we were going to be doing that day. Everyone did a dry run of rappelling with step by step easy to follow instructions from the guides. We put on some boots made for waterfall rappelling (definitely not good for hiking though!) and eat suits. They gave us helmets and harnesses of course and we hiked down to the first 30 foot waterfall. They setup while you have the opportunity to take pictures and split up the group 3 at a time. The other 3 were encouraged to take pictures for the 3 rappelling which was great. The area was gorgeous and I got straight under the waterfall to take pictures as my girlfriend rapelled. When it came my turn the guys guided me every step of the way and it was a blast! After we hiked a short hike to this gorgeous but intimidating 60 foot waterfall! Same procedure, 3 at a time. When I went down there was sooo much more water this time! I slipped because of the water and smooth rocks but nothing too bad. The most difficult part was about midway when it felt like the whole ocean was coming into my face and I had trouble getting air! The guys told me to put my head down to let the water go over my helmet which worked! Finished on the way down and that was it! when we were all done they took us to this little beautiful area behind the waterfall against the rocks where I took more pictures. After hiking back we had more snack, chatted up a bit and headed back to base! Amazing experience! Thank Matt, Renan, and Da Life Outdoors!

    OMG! Nan and Gary are the very best at what they do! No disappointments in heart pounding adventure! From Gary's demonstration of what not to do and Nan's perfect description of how to do it! You will love the beautiful waterfall and the hike to the falls is so do able! Thanks for a great memory for our 23rd wedding anniversary! Cheers!

    We had an amazing time with Matt and Kate repelling yesterday! I booked this for myself and my mom (as a spectator). I have no repelling experience so I wasn't quite sure what to expect but both Matt and Kate were extremely throw in their instructions and made you feel very comfortable before actually getting out onto the waterfall. They were charismatic and very kind while helping my mom through the hiking part to the waterfalls (she's 72). Their aytention to detail and safety made me feel extremely comfortable. It was a once in a lifetime experience and I was happy to share it with them.

    We were looking for fun and new things to do on our Kauai trip and came across the waterfall rappelling in the Kauai Revealed book! The book recommended it as a "real rush"! We decided to give it a try and boy were we all glad we did! Our guides, Erric and Nan were amazing and funny. They took the time to explain everything and go through all the techniques and safety followed up with some practice on a little dirt wall to make sure we understood how to rapell. Your fine to show up in flip flops because they had us wear these awesome water shoes with a felt bottom that made it so you don't slip on the rocks in the water. I wore a hat under my helmet to help keep the water off my face while I rapelled down. At the end you can swim around in the pool under the waterfall. Our guides were also great at taking pictures for us under the falls and as we rapelled down! Definitely would do this again!

    Absolutely wonderful staff! All 3 were so funny and helpful. They were very easy going and definitely made me feel safe and secure while waterfall rappelling. They were all super willing to answer any questions I had and were very knowledgeable. It was an awesome experience and the guides made it that much better!

    Dazzled with this gem!

We'd never done anything like this before, but from the moment we arrived, the team made us feel completely at ease. During our tour, the guides mentioned that the same company that designs ski lifts across the country engineered their zip lines -- that alone boosted our confidence in the safety and professionalism of the entire setup. You can tell they take their safety protocols seriously, without sacrificing any of the fun. The tour includes five incredible zip lines with breathtaking views -- you're literally flying across the same backdrops used in movies like Jurassic Park and Indiana Jones. It's unreal. One of the highlights was the 25-foot-deep swimming hole, complete with a mini zip line that lets you zip and splash right into the water. Our daughters loved it, and honestly, so did we! A massive shoutout to our guides -- Julia, Zeek, and Ryker. They were fun, knowledgeable, and created a super positive, relaxed environment that made the entire experience unforgettable. If you're visiting Kauai and want something adventurous, beautiful, safe, and genuinely memorable, I highly recommend Outfitters Kauai. We'll be talking about this day for years.

    This was my second time car camping in Kauai, but my first time renting with Kauai Rooftop Campers,…read moreand I can honestly say they made all the difference. Since we planned this trip last minute, finding campsites in the more remote areas was tough. Thankfully, KRC provides an excellent travel guide that not only lists camping spots but also gives insider tips on how to make the most of your trip. That guide was a lifesaver. It led us to Kumu Camp, which was perfect for our group of six, and even pointed us toward hidden gems like Anini Beach. Without it, we probably would have been stuck scrambling. The camper itself was fantastic. It was comfortable, well-equipped, and thoughtfully stocked with everything you need. What stood out most, though, was the team. Jonathan and his crew were communicative, flexible, and genuinely cared about making our experience unforgettable. When I wanted to extend my stay, they made it seamless. When I accidentally left a few belongings behind, they went out of their way to return them. That kind of service is rare. If you are considering car camping in Kauai, here are a couple of takeaways for success. Book early if you can because campsites do fill up, especially near the busier beaches. Make sure to use KRC's travel guide because it is full of reliable, local recommendations you will not find on Google. And most importantly, embrace flexibility because the best part of car camping here is the freedom to pivot plans and discover new places. Kauai Rooftop Campers does not just rent vehicles. They give you the keys to experience the island in a way that feels adventurous, authentic, and stress free. Highly recommend them for anyone wanting to see Kauai beyond the resorts.

I just wanted a shirt for myself though and was plenty happy to get a soft shirt without breaking the bank. The shop was empty when I wandered in. There was only a man at the register who was reading. I had fun browsing overall. Wish I had more time to see all the various aisles - there were so many little knick knacks and gift items. Would recommend stopping by here if you're looking for gifts and items to take home.

And he helped carry our sandwiches (which are included in the tour price) to the waterfall. We just had to do our part of carrying the drinks, cookie, and chips (also included in the tour price) in our dry bags. Steven also shared a lot of stories and cultural backgrounds about Wailua River and parts of the trail leading up to Secret Falls. We were provided with double-kayaks, and my partner and I were able to get through the somewhat rough stretch of Wailua River, though we often fell behind the others (haha!) but thankfully we did not flip over into the water! It's about 40-45 minutes in each direction and there is a designated section at the trailhead where we will leave our kayaks. Lots of other tour groups and those hiking and paddling independently! It had been a few years since kayaking a longer distance; the last time for me was Flat Island and Mokulua Islands in Kailua on Oahu in January 2017. As for the trail itself, yes it is muddy here and there and can be slippery. Therefore, it is best to use closed-toe water shoes and a hiking stick, as you will have to cross through at least 5 streams along the way and depending on the weather and other factors, the water level can get up to the knees or even waist-high and the currents can be strong too! The wet season is certainly a good time to see Uluwehi Falls (Secret Falls) at its finest! My oh my was it flowing! Lots of other people came to take a dip in the water, and eat their lunch nearby. Be aware, there are lots of feral chickens in the area so you really have to keep an eye on your food, otherwise they will literally steal it if you are not paying attention! When we got back to Kayak Kauai's main offices and store, we all had some delicious pineapple, and definitely much-needed after a long excursion! Overall, this is such a great experience and I would totally recommend it!
