'It's wall-to-wall kayaks.'
Wailua River guided tours take groups up Kauai's only navigable river to a trailhead that leads them to Uluwehi Falls, aka Secret Falls.The Wailua River kayaking and hiking tours, one of Kauai’s most popular adventures, is now only able to operate on weekdays only. With Sundays already restricted, the state took away Saturdays for commercial tours in November.
Tour operators were given less than two weeks’ notice of the change in November, losing thousands of dollars in revenue immediately from reservations they had to cancel.“There was no discussion. This was just thrust down our throat like we’re little kids. And we’re businesses,” Micco Godinez told SFGATE. “There was no input. We could have talked and timed it a little better instead of right after COVID and just before Christmas.”with his brother, Chino, in 1984.
“When we would come up to the north fork, it’s like a marina. It’s wall-to-wall kayaks, and imagine you have to figure out where to land and then the trail is overwhelmed,” Godinez said. He compares the foot traffic on the trail to Oahu’s Diamond Head, where you have to wait on the numerous people in front of you, or coming back down, before you can move forward.
Alan Carpenter, assistant administrator for the Hawaii State Department of Land and Natural Resources Division of State Parks, told SFGATE that the “short notice was regrettable,” and they’ll do better in the future.
