About Da Life Outdoors - Waterfall Rappel 30' & 60'
Rappel down two Kauai waterfalls with Da Life Outdoors after a safety lesson, dry-wall practice run and short jungle hike near the Hule'ia Wildlife Refuge.
Step beyond the usual Kauai trails and take on the thrill of descending two jungle waterfalls by rope. This adventure begins with check in and a 10 minute bus ride to a scenic training area, where guides lead a detailed rappel safety lesson and a practice run on a dry wall before the real challenge begins.
A 15-minute nature hike follows along a private jungle trail beside the Hulei'a Wildlife Refuge. The trail winds through tropical vegetation before reaching the first descent at 30-foot Bamboo Falls. From there, test your confidence and skill on the 60-foot Papakolea Falls, rappelling beside a powerful wall of rushing water.
