Hidden Valley Falls Kayak & Waterfall Adventure

Discover Hidden Valley Falls on one of the most unique kayak tours in Kauaʻi. This guided Kauaʻi kayaking adventure takes you down the gentle Huleʻia River, a scenic waterway known for its lush landscapes and famous movie locations including Raiders of the Lost Ark and Jurassic Park.

Conveniently located near Līhuʻe, this Hidden Valley Falls kayak tour is easy to fit into any Kauaʻi itinerary. Paddle downwind through a protected National Wildlife Refuge before hiking rainforest trails into Hidden Valley on private Kīpū Ranch lands. Along the way, explore secluded pools, cascading waterfalls, and enjoy the famous Pirate Pool rope swing. Guides share local history and legends tied to this special area.

Rather than kayaking back upstream, this kayaking adventure wraps up with a peaceful return by twin-hull Hawaiian canoe, a signature experience on the Huleʻia River and a guest favorite.

Looking for even more adventure? Guests often pair this experience with our Nui Kauaʻi Zipline tour or explore the ranch by land on the Kīpū Safari Adventure for a full day of excitement on Kīpū Ranch.

This easygoing yet adventurous experience combines kayaking, hiking, waterfalls, and cultural storytelling, making it a perfect outdoor adventure for families, couples, and first-time kayakers.
