Breakfast in the room
Dark clouds and thunder in the distance
7:15 am to our Wailua River Guides guide booth (across from Foodland)
The kayak/hike is on.
Our guide Annie drives us to the Wailua River. We kayak (in a two person ocean kayak) for about 40 minutes. Park the boats, ditch the footwear and hike about 2 miles through amazing rainforest, muddy trails, a rope crossing walk through a mildly raging river (up to my thighs), more muddy trails, a peaceful man-made waterfall, root ladders to our ultimate destination, Secret Falls (Ulehehi Falls). Just beautiful. We got to swim at the bottom of the falls, pose for pictures (Annie LIKES taking pictures), had lunch at around 10:30 with a pineapple shot. Our group of seven people had the falls to ourselves. Amazing! Did the reverse hike back to our kayaks. Back to our room by 1:00 pm. A good trip!
Afternoon swim (16 lengths: Front Crawl)
Dinner at Hukilau Lanai: Vegetarian Lasagna and a Wally Salad
