What a super fun exhilarating experience! Never having repelled before, our guides did a thorough job explaining everything and teaching us before we took off. Matt and “Naan” (excuse the spelling) were excellent guides!! Highly recommend for people looking for something fun to do while in Kauai!

We had an absolute blast. This was so much fun. It was the right mix of fun and adventure. Matthew and Shiz were amazing. They made us feel very comfortable and explain all the safety instructions in a friendly manner.

This was an amazing adventure! Matt and Nun were the perfect guides, showing us what to do with professional knowledge and a lot of humor. We were very safe in their hands, and we experienced the highest daredevil feat you could ever imagine! Definitely worth it!!!

Was a little worried at first about the pace during the safety instruction but once we went to the waterfalls, it really hit its stride. Big adrenaline rush and beautiful scenery. Felt super safe and fun.

We wanted to go on a hike in Kauai, but had troubles convincing our kids until we showed them the waterfall rappelling. Matt and Kate were awesome guides, telling us about the history of the land as well as making sure we had a safe and fun experience. Definitely trickier than it looks with the waterfall in your face and mossy rocks, but totally worth it.
Ashley_L, Jul 2025
10/10 recommend!! It was such a neat experience! The tour guides were amazing they made it fun but safe at the same time! Make sure to come do this on your trip!

Make no mistake, it’s not easy, but I wouldn’t classify it as difficult either. Guides were absolutely fantastic and enthusiastic letting you know exactly what to expect and how to approach it. This is truly once in a lifetime experience you don’t want to miss out on.

A lot of fun but felt it was overpriced. We had a small group so was less then the 4 hrs that was advertised

The guides were awesome!!!they were very helpful and answered all our questions. Would recommend this for anyone wanting an adrenaline rush.

Great trip! They provide shoes and a dry bag to keep your phone and belongings dry, along with snack bars and water. The two guides are very nice and patient—they introduce the unique local plants along the trail to the waterfall, which we loved! They also ensured our safety during rappelling.
It was our first time trying rappelling, and to be honest, it was scary at first to lean back with just the rappel line. But after some practice, everyone did really well. Surprisingly, learning the rappelling skills wasn’t hard at all! Everyone gets to practice first and then tackle two waterfalls—a smaller one and a larger one. You also get to climb onto the “shelf” platform behind the big waterfall. It’s such a wild experience to stand on the rock with the waterfall rushing right in front of your face!
Highly recommend this tour if you love adventures!
Tip: Avoid wearing white clothes—they’ll get very muddy by the end of the tour.

Best highlight of our trip. I am afraid of heights. The training and care Matt and Schizz took with us top notch the views, the rappels, priceless. My daughter and husband loved loved it just as much as I did. We have photos we took that are amazing. A must do

These two gents were amazing. They had that patience to hand hold us through the entire process. My wife was very nervous but they were able to lead her through the entire process with calm, patience and empathy. We all loved this. Would strongly encourage everyone to go with this tour. Thank you both

Kate and Nan were amazing! They were so patient with us while we were learning and really understanding of our fears. I loved the experience and it was so unique. I'm so glad I was able to do this because I will probably never have the opportunity to do this again. The guides made it such a fun experience. They talked to us about island history on the hike to the falls and were very personable!!!
Dantong_W, Jun 2024
Wonderful Guide! Spectacular experience!!!! Super worthy to go! Easy with clear instructions! Gotta moveee
Kari_W, Jun 2024

They loved it, my husband loved it, and overall it was such a fantastic family day! Thank you Nan and Matt for this amazing experience!
Matthew_N, May 2024
A lot of fun, but definitely a bit pricey. If you’ve never done it and money isn’t an issue, I would for sure recommend. A great experience nonetheless.
