In the distant past they had tours where one rode down on mules who knew
the way. Do they not do that anymore? An alternative might be a white
water raft trip down the river?

Neither of these would be too practical for me.
Some surprising people have done white-water
rafting, but I can't see myself in one of those.
Mules? When Lilli and I were on Molokai, the
mule trail down to the leper colony was washed
out, so we couldn't have done that even if we'd
wanted to (I breathed a not-so-secret sigh of
relief).
