Enjoy a scenic 2-mile paddle up the historic Wailua River with stunning mountain views, including the iconic Sleeping Giant. After landing, take a moderately rated rainforest hike (just under 1 mile) to the beautiful Uluwehi Falls, also known as Secret Falls.

The trail can be muddy and includes a stream crossing, so water shoes or sport sandals are recommended. At the falls, enjoy swimming, photos, and a relaxing picnic before hiking and paddling back.
