Description:
Immerse yourself in Kauai's verdant rainforests with a stand-up paddling tour among the trees. Paddle downstream on a lazy river that winds through a lush canyon, then hike to hidden pools, where you enjoy a picnic lunch and an exciting water ziplining adventure.
Your adventure begins with a lesson in stand-up paddling on the shores of the Huleia River. Master the skills of navigating and balancing on a custom-fitted board before easing into the gentle coursing waters. With the wind at your back, glide easily past lush, tropical jungle plants, keeping your eyes peeled for native wildlife as you drift—the Huleia National Wildlife Refuge, a wetland habitat for endangered Hawaiian waterbirds, is located here.
Next, paddle by the historic Menehune Fishpond—created more than 1,000 years ago, this inland fishpond is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Hawaiian legend holds that it was constructed by the menehune, mythical little people believed to have inhabited the islands' forests and valleys long before the arrival of the Hawaiians.
Step off your board and trek along trails under the shade of towering, tropical trees to a mountain stream-fed pool that's perfect for a refreshing swim. Enjoy a deli-style picnic lunch, then get ready to try your hand at the exciting sport of water ziplining, leaping off a wooden platform and flying down into the pool below.
Your adventure concludes with a take a breaking ride back up the river in a motorized Hawaiian-style canoe.
