About Da Life Outdoors - Waterfall Rappel 30' & 60'
This Kauai adventure takes you beyond the usual trail and puts you right beside the waterfalls. Before the rappelling begins, you’ll ride about 10 minutes to a scenic training area where the guides go over safety, equipment and technique, then give you a chance to practice on a dry wall.
From there, a short nature hike leads through private jungle terrain near the Hulei'a Wildlife Refuge. The trail passes tropical plants such as guava, passion fruit, noni and laua'e fern before reaching the first descent at 30-foot Bamboo Falls. Once you are comfortable with that rappel, the tour continues to 60-foot Papakolea Falls for a longer descent beside rushing water.
