Day 2:Boat ride along the Na Pali coast, sea caves, hiking The start of the Na Pali coast is on the opposite side of the island from where we will be staying. We will have breakfast at the hotel and then drive the hour and a half to the start of the coast. The Na Pali coast is one of the main attractions of Kauai. Na Pali literally translates to ‘High Cliffs.’ This is because the cliffs along the Na Pali coast rise as much as 4,000 feet above the Pacific Ocean. . All the valleys, beaches, caves and waterfalls on the Na Pali Coast are inaccessible by land. We will take a private boat tour along the coast stopping at several large sea caves and seeing marine life like dolphins, turtles, and tropical fish. The boat will drop us off at the final beach where we will be able to explore some of the most beautiful parts of the Na Pali coast by foot. On the way back we have the option of stopping at Queens bath which is a popular natural pool formed by hardening lava. If the swell is low then we can stop for a nice relaxing swim before returning to our hotel for the evening. |

Day 3: Waterfall rappels, Canyoneering, Cliff jumping After breakfast at the hotel, we will head into the jungle for some canyoneering. For those who want to try canyoneering, we have hired a local guide to take as through a waterfall drop of about 120 feet. After rappel, we will walk along the river to end the trip at the base of Wailua falls where we will have lunch and swim in the pools. During the evening we will go to shipwreck beach which is almost directly in front of our hotel. We will relax on the sandy beach, enjoy the refreshing water and those who want to can do some cliff jumping into the ocean from some small rock cliffs nearby. The jump is small, about 30 feet. Upon returning to the hotel the rest of the evening is yours to do with as you wish. There are many nearby beaches, and the hotel has a wide variety of amenities like pools, golfing, spa and many more. |

Day 4: Kayaking along the Wailua river, Secret falls We will start the day with breakfast at the hotel after which we will drive up to our unloading point to kayak up the Wailua river. The Wailua river is the biggest navigable river throughout all the islands that stretches over 20 miles long. It meanders along through lush jungles and beautiful mountains. We will navigate the river for about an hour before stopping along the bank and doing a short hike to the base of secret falls where we will have lunch, swim in the natural waterfall pool, and relax before returning to out kayaks and navigating back to our starting point. |

Day 5: Waimea canyon Waimea canyon is about an hour’s drive from our hotel, we will wake up, have breakfast at the hotel and then begin our drive. Waimea canyon has been nicknamed ‘The Grand Canyon of the Pacific,’ and rightfully so. It is 14 miles long and 3,000 feet deep, the color contrast between the greenery, red dirt, and massive waterfalls is incredible. We will spend a good portion of our day here hiking to waterfalls, taking in the views and having lunch. There is an optional hike that offers incredible views of the Na'Pali coastline. Afterwards, the rest of the evening is yours to relax and spend how you would like. Day 6 (optional): Surf lessons, Snorkeling
There will be two activities offered today that are both optional. First, a snorkeling tour where you will be able to catch a glimpse of some of the amazing wildlife that lives just below the surface of the water. Second, surf lessons at a local beach. Both will be unique perspective on the vibrant waters surrounding the islands. |

Day 7 (optional): Helicopter Tour, Zip-lining This will be our last full day here. What better way to see the island than to experience it from a birds eye view. Enjoy amazing aerial views of the Na' Pali coastline, 400 foot waterfalls, and some of the most beautiful greenery you'll ever see. If helicopters aren't quite your speed, there will be an zip-line option where you can soar above the canopy of the jungle and feel like your flying just above the treetops. |
