Additional Information

The Native Hawaiian Dundee, Charlie, though carries an English name (due to European sailors), is a true professional native Hawaiian guide. Charlie worked for the D.L.N.R. in the Wildlife, Forestry and Parks div. doing conservation trail work so he knows pretty much every trail on Island. His Great great great grandfather Kamokunui was appointed Konohiki (guardian, steward) in 1848 inside Kalalau, Nualolo and Miloli’i, doing conservation work. Therefore, he [Charlie] is a True Hawaiian! Your adventures are generally “tailored and customized” (within reason) to your individual group. This is “not a one size fits all” kind of adventure! You will enter a “secluded Hawaiian Jungle Rainforest Canyon” and be the ONLY TOURIST” in this region. A truly PRIVATE adventure! Da Hawaiian Dundee also have a “little children adventure hike”, less then a mile at which he calls, door # one (1). As long as they are physically healthy and able to swim… Aloha and Mahalo Nui, Da Hawaiian Dundee

  • Healthy, Athletic and Adventurous 8 year old children are allowed on door # 1
  • Not recommended for anyone who has a ‘morbid’ fear of height’s!

A once in a lifetime experience! - What a unique and incredible experience!! It felt like we were the only ones in the jungle! Hawaii Dundee Charlie is incredibly knowledgeable about Hawaiian history and of course the local flora and fauna. Lots and adventurous fun!

You will enjoy getting wet! - Walking through the water most memorable because it was so refreshing! We did the easiest trail, Dundee calls this Door #1, 9/10 mile, and still was enough of a challenge for two 65 year olds.

Just a little family from Missouri…. - The Hawaiian Dundee did a remarkable job, teaching us, keeping us safe, and opening our eyes to the real, and beautiful Kauai. He has a compassionate heart for nature and animals, and I have so much respect for his dog rescue efforts. To have seen the spectacular waterfall and immerse ourselves in the pool will be an unforgettable experience for all of us. He made us feel capable and safe throughout the entire tour. I am grateful to have met him and so happy with our experience. Thank you!!!

True Hawaiian Jungle Adventure! - My family and I truly enjoyed this unique, private adventure! Dundee (aka Charlie) takes time to ensure everyone in the group understands and is comfortable with the repelling and ascending equipment and has the correct apparel for the trip. If you have a sense of adventure and are looking for something different than the run of the mill tourist experiences then this trip is for you! The bonus is you get to meet Shadow, the sweet yet shy doggie who keeps a close eye on you the entire way and makes sure no one wanders off the path. The vistas cannot be beat and not found on any other trip. Tour includes a refreshing swim in a waterfall with optional cliff jumping! We can’t wait to come back and do Dundee’s other adventures for returning customers! Some tips: Lightweight pants are a MUST and I definitely recommend long sleeve sun shirt and neck gaiter and hat. The mosquitos are NO JOKE and the proper clothing works better than repellant. Waterproof hiking boots would be better than the Keen hiking sandals we had but if that’s all you have, they’re better than sneakers. Helps to be in reasonably good shape, this is of course, a tour through the wild with limited cell service.

Unique experience! - Charlie is a great guide and person! We loved experiencing Kauai in its most natural state and through a local’s point of view. Swimming and jumping off the waterfall were definitely highlights. We also enjoyed getting a taste of repelling and ascending. Charlie, your love of and care for animals is unparalleled. Wishing the best for you and all the ones you care for! (Worth noting—if mosquitos love you (and they love me), wear long sleeves and pants and heavy duty repellant while on the tour. You will also want to reapply it while on the tour.)

Exciting jungle adventure! - This was an exciting hike through the Kauai jungle with an amazing guide, Charlie 'Da Hawaiian Dundee'. He is so knowledgeable and engaging with his stories and keeps you looking forward to the next interesting thing he might tell you about or show you. The hike itself is an adventure! Definitely wear long pants, long sleeved shirts, and closed toed shoes. Make sure you have bug spray on before you repel down to the bottom of the canyon... that's where the mosquito swarms are. Our family loved this hike and adventure with Charlie and Shadow! Charlie - if you're still doing these tours on our next visit, you'll be seeing us again. Thank you so much for making this such a memorable time for us all. This will be something we talk about for years and years to come. WooHoo and Mahalo nui loa!

Adventure and views galore! - Charlie had amazing communication before our hike. He’s fully prepared and knowledgeable to bring you into the private trails and see hidden gems no one else could show you. We even were the first to encounter a few hunting dogs during our excursion!! Be sure to dress appropriate for backwoods hiking trails and I promise……. you will have memories to last a lifetime!!

Best adventure of my life! - Charlie was AWESOME! I have never repelled 1 foot let alone 20 stories and it was amazing! Shadow, a dog he is working on trust with to rescue from the jungle stayed with us the entire trip! Bring her snacks! Long fast dry pants, long sleeve quick dry shirt and socks and tennis shoes is all you need. Oh and bug spray which I should have applied. We did top notch excursions on our honeymoon but none were as special and rewarding. Must do!!!! Five 🌟 is just not enough for this experience! Thank you Hawaiian Dundee! Thank you Shadow for staying in back and on the lookout for everyone. One special dog!

Fantastic adventure - What a perfect day rappelling, hiking and swimming in a beautiful area that we would have never seen had it not been for Hawaiian Dundee Charlie. He guided us safely through our first rappelling adventure, a jungle hike, and a swim to revive our mana. This man is an amazing human being. Hang out with him for an afternoon and he’ll entertain you, educate you, and leave you with a feeling of immense gratitude for the land and the people of Hawaii.

Epic Adventure! - Amazing experience with “The Hawaiian Dundee”! He is such a caring, professional guide. He provides a personalized experience tailored to the needs of your group. I had my 67 year old mother and 14 year old son with varying ability levels. He provided exceptional guidance that allowed everyone to rappel down to the waterfall and make it back out over streams and switchbacks. He coached everyone through the tough parts and his easy going demeanor kept everyone going. He is also an awesome human being who takes care of stray dogs he’s encountered along the trail. He has three rescue dogs. He’s currently feeding another stray “Shadow,” as he works to build her trust and eventually bring her home out of the jungle. Shadow cautiously greeted us when we arrived at the start of the trail. He fed her and she followed us on our entire adventure. She was wary, but kept us company, checking on us if we fell behind. It made the experience so much more meaningful. We are hopeful that soon Shadow will allow him to bring her home. If you are looking for an epic adventure in Kauai, this is the one!
