Swimming Adventures in Kapaʻa, HI

There’s more to Kauai than its trails and waterfalls — sometimes, the best part is where you pause. With Kamokila Kayaks, swimming adventures in Kapaʻa, HI, are thoughtfully designed for relaxation and connection with nature. After paddling past bamboo-lined bends and jungle-clad riverbanks, you’ll reach quiet freshwater pockets where you can dip into cool, flowing water. One of the most memorable stops is the tranquil pool beneath Secret Falls — an inviting, natural swim stop that feels earned after a scenic paddle and short jungle hike.

We make your swim breaks more than just pit stops:

  • Direct Drop-Off to Swim Access Points
    We deliver kayaks where the journey begins — no shuttle stress.
  • Calm, Beginner-Friendly Waters
    Ideal for kids, older adults, and anyone who wants a relaxing float.
  • Optional Swim Gear Support
    Waterproof bags, life jackets, and safety advice are provided at no extra charge.

Whether you prefer to dip your toes by the riverbank or wade into the cascading pool at Secret Falls, Kamokila Kayaks offers flexible routes to suit your pace. You can relax between paddles, take a full swim-and-hike combo, or simply float and breathe in the lush surroundings. Our team is always nearby by phone or text, ready to help with guidance, tips, or a quick check-in. These swimming stops aren’t rushed — they’re part of what makes your journey memorable. Come for the paddle, stay for the swim, and leave refreshed in every sense.
