The waterfall is considered one of the most difficult in the world to navigate via kayak, according to The Daily Mail. The falls make it extremely difficult to stay afloat. Some kayakers have sustained serious injuries trying to navigate Spirit Falls.

"This kayak experience was out of this world and definitely one of the best moments of my life," Wells told Caters News Agency.

Photographer Eric Parker photographed the feat. "Rivers are incredible pieces of nature and these pictures show that nature off perfectly. There are few things more amazing than water falling in the sky, which is why I love to shoot waterfalls," the well-known extreme sports photographer told Caters. "It was amazing to watch Todd tackle this waterfall so skillfully."
