Beschreibung
Rappel two jungle waterfalls near Lihue, 30 ft and 60 ft, with a guide who has led this tour since 2012. No experience needed: ground school and all gear are included.
Start with check-in and gear-up: your guides fit your harness, helmet and water shoes. Ground school comes next, with a short safety briefing and a practice rappel on a small dry wall, so you learn the moves with a guide coaching you.
A short jungle hike brings you to the first waterfall, 30 feet tall, for your first rappel through the water. Then follow the stream to the big one, a 60-foot waterfall, rappelled with a guide at the top and a backup belay from the pool below, so a slip simply stops.
The walking is about half a mile round trip in all, on a muddy, rooty jungle trail. A snack is provided, and there is a water station to refill your bottle. Your guides take photos along the way, and you can bring your phone in a dry bag.
Light rain is part of the jungle and usually fine. Before every departure the guides check flash flood alerts, stream gauges and the stream itself, and the tour is cancelled with a full refund if the water is not safe.
The tour lasts about 2.5 to 4 hours depending on group size. Smaller groups wait less at the top, so they finish sooner.
