“We had the most amazing time on our private helicopter tour. We’ve been in a helicopter a handful of times before - including NYC and St. Lucia. This was far superior! To see the amazing waterfalls.

Private Kauai jungle waterfall adventure with Charlie the Hawaiian Dundee: safe rappelling, secluded swims, and wild fruit tastings for up to 4.
“Charlie is a great guide and person! We loved experiencing Kauai in its most natural state and through a local’s point of view. Swimming and jumping off the waterfall were definitely highlights. We also enjoyed getting a taste of repelling and ascending. Charlie, your love of and care for animals is unparalleled. Wishing the best for you and all the ones you care for! (Worth noting—if mosquitos love you (and they love me), wear long sleeves and pants and heavy duty repellant while on the tour. You will also want to reapply it while on the tour.)”

“This is a must-do tour! Noah is a great tour guide. He is quite knowledgeable about the history and folklore of Hawaii/Kauai. The van was very clean and comfortable for a total of 7 people including Noah. Was great that he could pick us up at the hotel since we left at 6am in order to get to Waimea Canyon before the clouds moved in. We were able to stop multiple times to take in the views, including a small waterfall, take lots of pics—Noah didn’t mind taking our group pictures. Tried to share pics on this website, but couldn’t get them to upload. Saw a few other sites including…”

A private 6–7 hour Kauai hike through Waimea Canyon and Kōkeʻe State Park with snacks, cool gear, and big views.
““Hidden gems” is a misnomer - we had an expectation of actually seeing some hidden gems on the island. We told the outfitter that we wanted variety with a little hiking. Our guide was fully prepared to hike Waimea Canyon. When we asked about the waterfalls and turtles we expected to see he advised those are on another part of the island and we would be proceeding with the canyon. You would think for 6-7 hours we’d be able to see a few key spots of the canyon and then travel to another area to see the waterfalls, that our guide was happy to tell us how we could get…”
