Another zero day in Kauai! 9L needed a haircut so he spent a couple hours at Supercuts and the rest of the day at a sportsbar with no liquor license. ](*,)

So Claire and I decided to go Kayaking.

We started at the Kamokila Village upstream rather than at the mouth of the river in Wailua. This saved us some time kayaking as well as some money since the outfitter in Kamokila is less expensive. A quick trip to the end of the south fork before returning to Fern Grotto State Park and a quick walk to the impressive grotto.

Back on the river we headed to the north fork where we stashed our boat on the shore with dozens of others before the 2 mile hike to Secret Falls. There's one river crossing that's almost waist deep but otherwise it's just a riverside hike on a muddy trail with lots of tree roots.

The 110-foot falls are quite nice with a big pool at the base, but the number of people there sort of ruined it for me. But it's an ideal trip for people who want an easy kayak, short hike and a worthy destination.

This trip is logged as hiking and the stats only reflect the hiking portions. Not included are the 2.4 miles of kayaking on the Wailua River which only took about an hour of time total.
