Secret Beach does not require strenuous Kauai hiking to reach but the trail is steep in places and closed toe shoes are recommended. There's a chance in summer to swim here if the ocean is calm and to see fish in the lava pools. Continue your journey around the rock cliff and you will find a waterfall to rinse off.
Can you walk to Secret island?
There is a rough (but safe) path that will take you directly to Secret Island. You will need to walk along the sand and may get your feet wet during high-tide. For someone in search of a hidden beach, this is not an obstacle. Once you've come through the path, you'll discover a hint of Secret Island civilization.
Can you go to Secret Falls without a tour?
To have the best experience, do what we did and rent a kayak from a company that lets you go out at 7 am. You don't need a guided tour. It is an easy river to navigate!
