Calling all bold spirits on a quest for adventure and natural wonders—a Wailua River Kayak is in your future! Rainbow Kayak Tours of Wailua River presents an engaging, exciting expedition into the realm of Hawaiian divinity and spellbinding beauty!

Taking a Wailua River kayak trip is a must on any Kauai itinerary.

This delightful attraction features four and a half hours of spontaneous fun for the whole family. The tour is ideal for ages 5-75.

On the guided tour, narrators tell legends about the Wailua River’s history and teach about the sacred area’s flora and fauna. Then, after the hike to the falls, visitors dine on a sumptuous Hawaiian-style lunch.

While Kayaking the Wailua River on your own is possible for pros, amateurs might want to stick with a guided tour with an expert. Wearing life jackets is not optional! Currents can be strong, and your safety is paramount.

What to Bring

The tour team says Kayakers should wear comfortable shoes (hiking boots or sandals, Tevas, water shoes). Shoes will be wholly submerged in water. Light, comfortable clothes, swimsuits, towels, sunscreen, hats, sunglasses, and rain gear are all advised.

You may wish to bring an extra set of dry clothes to leave in the van. In addition, all visitors should carry an extra water bottle and camera. Each Kayak has a watertight compartment to keep a dry bag. All Kayak rentals are included in the ticket price.
