The entertainment was top-notch and the food was delicious. I loved the different portions of entertainment that were designed around the various cultures that came together through history to make Hawaii what it is today. It was exactly the kind of experience and education I was hoping for.

Our tour bus did get stuck in some traffic and was slower due to picking up guests from multiple locations, and while I felt like that luau did their best to hold off on the main event (dinner and show) until we arrived (which I greatly appreciated), we did miss out on getting the full experience listed on the events description (i.e. "Interact up close and personal with your Pacific Island hosts with Hawaiian crafts, hula lessons, coconut husking, fire making, weaving, tattooing, and more. ") So if those activities are important to you, you might want to consider booking private transportation to the luau instead of taking the group shuttle option to make sure you arrive in plenty of time to get the full experience.

We had a fantastic tour with a fun and experienced crew. Saw the sights, heard the history and made us want more. Thank you Kona and Captain for building our memories on Kauai. Those dolphins and whales provided a great show!

Loved the crew and their stories and jokes. Also loved hearing about the history and culture of this beautiful part of the world.

You need to do something about large groups that get very drunk, are disrespectful towards the event and its participants. Loved the show but it was a distraction and didn’t allow us to enjoy the whole show experience.

I had a great trip to the North Shore with my shuttle driver. He picked me up first and then two couples from neighboring hotels. He did a great job explaining the different areas in Haleiwa to the whole shuttle and then dropped the two couples off near the beach. We then proceeded to Waimea Valley where I had a great time hiking to the falls, exploring the botanical gardens, and learning about the Hawaiian culture. I finished early and so he was good with dropping me in Haleiwa early which allowed me to explore the area a little more. Great driver who makes his own shuttle music. Drove us safely in the rain. I would totally take this shuttle again. He is most respectful and is bilingual in English and Japanese.

My husband and I took the ATV tour between rain storms last week. I think that made it extra special because of all the water we drove through. Our tour guides were very friendly and knowledgeable. They kept the tour fun and safe for all. The history behind Kipu Ranch and the many movies and TV shows filmed there was very interesting. The waterfall was very nice even though the pool below was muddy from all of the recent rain. I would highly recommend this tour. Even in our early 70's, we easily drove even the roughest terrain in the very comfortable and save Kawasaki ATVs!

We did the 2 hour UTV tour with a family of four. This was our favorite thing we did. Get a little bit of movie history, a lot of nature, and some light thrills. Ben was our guide and was amazing. He mad the experience so fun and memorable. We had some intermittent rain on our day and it was still amazing. I could not recommend this place more.

Every part of this experience was wonderful. The scenery is stunningly beautiful. The staff were extremely friendly, knowledgeable and informative.

Thank you for a mountain top experience. We learned about the scenery and the history. Your horses work well behaved and trained. Thank you for the personal tour. You did a great job.

While in Kauai with family we decided to try the Smith Family Fern Grotto River Cruise, which was an awesome choice of entertainment. We love history and learning about places we visit, so we were pleasantly surprised when the beginning of the cruise was a full narration of the interesting history and geography of the Waimea River. The crew led us to the breathtaking Fern Grotto and enhanced the experience with beautiful music. On the way back to the dock we were entertained with music and dancing, which was very fun. The trip ended much too soon! The cost was very reasonable. We would highly recommend this trip!

I set up to have a lei greeting and it was absolutely perfect. They text me to make sure they knew when we landed and were waiting for us when walked out. It was a great way to start the trip!

Great experience seeing real life, wild whales!!!!

We had such an amazing experience on our Kaneohe Sandbar tour. The crew from start to finish was friendly and comforting. They made us feel right at home. Loved being able to purchase snacks and drinks on board. The snorkel experience was so intimate and way different than any other that I’ve done in Hawaii. We got one on one tips and knowledge on the sea life we were witnessing. The sandwich was delicious. I brought my two year old on this tour and she loved it and was able to experience a lot for her age group. 10/10!!!!!

Eddy was great. Talked with us about the Island. The entire crew took good care of us and made the ride fun. Perfect Day!!

Truly enjoyable time spent with the Smith family crew.

Our guide was very knowledgable and entertaining. Our experience was well worth the cost. I would highly recommend.

Loved the cruise to the Fern Grotto, the food was excellent and lots of it. The drinks were great. Above all were the performers. Wonderfully talented people that put on an action packed show of Hawaiian culture and traditions.
Thank you Smith family!

How often can you get a kiss from a dolphin!? For me, this is once in a lifetime experience.. at least until I I come back and do it again!! The dolphins were great to interact with, our dolphin handler really ensured we all had time to interact with the dolphins. And Jennifer made sure that we understood how to appropriately interact with them. Always wonderful when animal handlers ensure the welfare and safety of the animal is a priority.

Fun activity for families. The tour operator does a good job of talking about the history of the area. Also, very scenic. Very worthwhile. Great job!

Had a great time. Well worth the money. We got fresh fruit from the farm and was really tasty.

Beautiful 2 hour horseback ride in Kualoa Ranch.
It rained off and on but the scenery was spectacular.
Hope to come back and do it again someday.

Absolutely amazing dive. Felt very safe. Would definitely do it again

We had an awesome experience with Blue Hawaiian. We weren't able to experience the complete experience because of poor weather over Volcano National Park but Blue Hawaiian did an excellent job of working with us to create an alternative tour for us. Dale was great as our pilot and tour guide.

We had a great time on our Trip to Lanai! Our guide, Clive, was awesome. He took us around and let us spend as much time at each place as we wanted. He has lived on Lanai a long time and was able to give us insights into life on the island. We visited Garden of the Gods and Shipwreck Beach among other sights. Couldn’t have asked for a better guide or tour. He dropped us off at the Blue Ginger restaurant in Lanai City at the end of the tour at our request, where we had an excellent lunch. Then we toured around Lanai City for the rest of the afternoon.

We went back to the port early in order to visit the beach near the port (Hulopo’e beach), which is a 10 minute stroll from the port. Very nice beach. In order to do that we called the shuttle company, Rabaca’s limousine service (808-559-0230) who was able to send a van early to pick us up. No guarantee they will be able to do that, but worth giving them a call if desired.

We had a free afternoon on the Big Island and wanted to check out the Waipio Valley. After a little research, we found that the only way for non-locals to visit was with an official guide. The Waipio shuttle is a custom vehicle designed to safely navigate the tricky terrain - including steep grade and crossing shallow rivers. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and fun! Not only could he expertly drive us where we needed to go, but he also offered to take photos at each beautiful stop. This was a highlight of our trip!

We had an incredible time on the cultural canoe tour with We Paddle Maui! Our guides Puni, Ivan, and Jesus were awesome! The owner Fabio was great to work with as well! He answered our questions and was very kind! We would HIGHLY recommend this tour! It felt like we were getting a genuine look at the culture of Maui. Puni shared stories with us about Maui, the wildlife, and more. We were very fortunate to be paddling at a time when the whales were here. This made for an even better experience to see whales breaching and to see a mom and calf together in the water from afar. We learned a few Hawaiian words used in paddling, Ivan recited a Hawaiian prayer, and we had a little friendly race with the other boat toward the end. The guides were friendly, professional, and made the tour so much fun! THANK YOU We Paddle Maui! This has been the highlight of our trip!
Team Puni for the win! 🤙

We had an awesome first day of our trip at 'We Paddle Maui'! Our guides Ivan, Puni, and Jesus showed us the ropes and gave us a run down on these authentic Hawaiian style canoes. We had a truly wholesome experience as we paddled out into the ocean, whales breaching in the distance, stories of the culture exchanged, and knowledge of the sport passed along. I reccomend everyone visiting the island to book a tour with this company, as we left feeling closer to the culture, land, and wildlife! Thanks again to all of our guides, and Fabio, for a great time! We will be back!!

Team Puni for the win!! 🤙🤙🤙

We had a wonderful time on the excursion. The staff were friendly and helpful. I loved the music and interaction with the staff on the boat. The Fern Grotto and the story told of the history was great!! I will definitely tell others about this great experience.

Tour organizers were excellent, great communications. Captain Larry and first mate Zach were great, excellent hosts and put us on a bunch of fish.

Started slow, trolling until we reached the bottom fishing sites . Caught a few fish, including small barracudas. Finally hit a spot where the actions was wild, at one time five fish on at the same time. Zach ably handled it all, including taking our pictures with the fish. If you wanted to bring them home, Zach had some good recipes.

On the way into the harbor, saw over a half dozen whales. Great experience!
