Annie was the best guide. She was very interactive, animated and just fun! We were not able to go to the secret falls due to weather, but next time we are there, we will definitely do her tour again.

Everything went smoothly and we were lucky to have a beautiful sunny day with a brief shower. Our guide Zack was friendly knowledgeable and fun. The only downside was due to local flooding our trip did not get to see the secret waterfalls.

We were excited for this and it exceeded all expectations! Fun adventure activity in the most gorgeous scenery. Helm was really fun, upbeat and entertaining tour guide who brought it to life with info about the plants, animals and local history. It was a good challenge kayaking and crossing the river by foot but accessible enough for some kids to join along in the group. It felt so special to reach the final destination, but the journey to get there was just as good. Would go again.

Wonderful experience. More challenging as the hike is over rocky/slipery terrain. Wear a guality shoe that will get wet and provide foot stability.

Our guide Helm was entertaining and full of information about the plants and terrain. May 12th a flood had come through with 12' of water and we were lucky to have the trip. Kayaking not overly hard, but the head winds on way back do make you work. Water fall swim was fun and overall A+ experience. Recommend if ever on the island.

This was our first excursion of our trip and we had a blast. The views were unlike anything we've seen on any of the other islands so far. We're a pretty active couple, but we've only kayaked one other time, so that was the more challenging part for us. We wore hiking clothes and shoes. The clothes were the right choice, but I would probably just wear a sturdy water shoe or sandal if I were to do it again. You have to walk through a knee-high river with a bit of a current two times during the hiking portion. Each kayak holds two people, so know that if you are a group with an odd number of people, a member of your party will likely be kayaking with someone else. We saw lots of other tour groups and individuals during the excursion. Our guide, Dustin was very knowledgeable about the island and shared lots of interesting facts with us along the hike. He takes photos of the group throughout the excursion and airdrops them to you at the end, which is really convenient.
