We recently went on a kayak trip down the Wailua River in Kauai, Hawaii with Duke’s Kayak Adventures.
We began our adventure Kayaking down the river in tandem kayaks. We went on the morning tour, which was easier because there was no wind.
Our guide was really nice and knowledgeable. At one point we traveled past a field with a lush cliffy hill. He told us that they filmed the intro to Indiana Jones and the Lost Arc there. The part where he’s running away from the natives with poison arrows. It was a beautiful spot. We decided later to watch the movie and it was indeed the same spot (see photo below.)
After kayaking, we went on a hike by the river. We passed a beautiful little waterfall and ended up at a 120 foot-tall waterfall. We swam in the cold stream water and enjoyed lunch.
After lunch we set back down the river in our Kayaks. The trip was really fun, one of the best things we’ve done in Kauai. Call Boss Frog’s in Kapaa at (808) 822-4334 to speak to someone that can give you a great price and has plenty of information.
