    Great time hiking with Zane

    My wife and I had a great time hiking to see some waterfalls and the Queens bath with Zane. We learned about some of the local plants and flowers of the islands. Would recommend this to anyone wanting to get out for a hike to see the beauty of Kauai, plus have some great pictures taken by Zane as lasting memories!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 🌴 We’re thrilled you and your wife enjoyed hiking. It’s great to hear you learned about the local plants and flowers while making lasting memories with your photos. We really appreciate your recommendation! 📸✨

    Come for the waterfall hike, stay for the chickens. 😄

    We flew over from Maui specifically for this tour and it exceeded our expectations! Jen was so friendly and knowledgeable. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and had lots of laughs. Be sure to wear old shoes or hiking boots because it’s slippery and muddy, but worth every step. “Kauai - come for the secret waterfall hike through the jungle, stay for the chickens.”

    Response from the operator: Mahalo for your amazing review! 🌴 We’re so glad to hear the tour exceeded your expectations and that you enjoyed exploring the secret waterfall with Jen. It sounds like you had a fun adventure—and a few laughs along the way! Thanks for the helpful tip about shoes too. We’d love to welcome you back anytime! 📸✨

    Wonderful tour guide and great way to enjoy the beauty of Hawaiian waterfalls and the jungles in a more intimate setting.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words! 🌴 We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the intimate setting of the tour and got to experience the beauty of Hawaii’s waterfalls and lush jungles. It was a pleasure having you with us! 📸✨

    Incredible private tour I'd recommend to anyone

    Jen was such an amazing guide for our private tour. My wife and I learned so much about Hawaiian agriculture while navigating the gorgeous, lush scenery. it's hard to put into words the level of beauty and fun we had on this private tour but I will say we spent 7 days in Hawaii, over two islands, and this tour was easily the best experience we had in the whole week. Jen also is a photographer and shot professional pics for us during the tour!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 🌺 We’re thrilled to hear that Jen made your private tour so memorable and that you enjoyed learning about Hawaiian agriculture while exploring the beautiful scenery. It means a lot to know this was a highlight of your week in Hawaii! We’re also so glad you loved the photos Jen captured during the tour. Mahalo for sharing your experience! 📸✨

    The Secret Waterfall Private tour with photos: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kauai.

    How much does The Secret Waterfall Private tour with photos cost?

    +

    Prices start at $350 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kauai usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does The Secret Waterfall Private tour with photos take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kauai is not rushed.

    Is The Secret Waterfall Private tour with photos worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 64 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kauai, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule The Secret Waterfall Private tour with photos?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is The Secret Waterfall Private tour with photos suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book The Secret Waterfall Private tour with photos?

    +

    Around 22 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kauai can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kauai and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does The Secret Waterfall Private tour with photos start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kauai within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Kauai?

    +

    Kauai sells Na Pali Coast boat and helicopter tours, Waimea Canyon drives, tubing through old plantation ditches and Hanalei kayak trips. Ocean conditions shut down the north shore boat runs in winter, so cancellation terms matter. On Outty we rank every Kauai experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Koloa Zipline in Kauai, Kauai: NaPali Boat Tour on the Amelia K, Kauai: Secret Falls Kayak and Hike. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Kauai?

    +

    April to June and September to October, with calmest seas in summer. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Kauai?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
