Waimea Canyon II-IV+(V)
River DescriptionOne of the most beautiful canyons in the world! A tough, hot 2.5 mile hike (Kukui Trail) to put in for a nice section of Class III-IV+. You can hike further up canyon for more action: either hike til a fork at Koai'e Canyon or (depending on flow) hike up Koai'e Canyon to Lonomea Camp.

So what's the latest on running the Waimea? Is it worth the trip? How many kayaks on the island of Kauai? Would it ever be possible to rent/borrow a boat? Anyone know how much it costs to get a kayak on the plane to Kauai? So many questions.... I really want to paddle the Waimea. Edit
