We had a large group of family who came with us, including grandchildren from ages 7-9 yrs - was interesting to hear the authentic music, history, and stories of this location of the river valley and grotto. (The walk to the Grotto wasn't far, on a poured path, maybe a city block, more or less, but we may have been distracted by the beauty of the place!)
On the way back, some stopped by the bathrooms before getting back on the boat. Then we heard more music as we headed back on the boat- talented instruments and voices, the captain told more info about the dances as we watched, and we were taught some of the actions as we stood and danced to the music, too! Was fun!
We wore mosquito spray but had no real reason to- they weren't too bad on this particular afternoon in June. 2 pm ride, back by 3:30.
Everyone in our party had a great time. We enjoyed all aspects of the tour.
Juan and his crew kept us entertained. The tubing experience was fun and the views were gorgeous. Would definitely do it again.
If you get motion sickness, there is a lot of turning, you might not want to take some dramamine.
We decided to take the Sunset Dinner Cruise on the NaPali Coast. Holo Holo Cruise could not have been any better.
Great Crew! Great & unlimited drinks and food! Cruisers that are kind and fun and ez to talk with. We saw dolphins and one whale from far away. A Beautiful Evening😎
Sunscreen, hat, sunglasses & shirt are a good idea.
What a wonderful way to spend a couple of hours. The crew was fantastic. Captain gave us some great history of the island and the Hawaiian music and hula was perfect. This is good for all ages. The walk to the Fern Grotto is paved. One of our passengers had a wheelchair and was able to enjoy the full excursion. I highly recommend this for an afternoon, easy excursion. Mahalo, until we meet again.
The ride down the river was so peaceful and beautiful. The walk through the fern grotto was also very pleasant.. beautiful things to see.
The captain, guides and entertainment was outstanding
Mahalo for a fun, informative, and beautiful trip to Fern Grotto. Our family especially loved learning hula from the Smith Ohana!
Great your! An added surprise and probably the highlight of the tour for me, we saw so many dolphins and they got up close and personal with us! We also managed to spot a few whales and a baby! Wren and Ryder were both fantastic also. Definitely worth the price!
It gets windy and you’re going to get a little wet!
Great trip on the river! The captain was very informative on the local culture. The crew performed a dance at the grotto and also performed several dances on the way back on the boat. A good value.
We had a great time! Our guides were amazing and although it was treacherous at times, we felt safe. Beautiful scenery!
Would highly recommend.
Wonderful fun for all ages ! Great Hawaiian experience
Finding it and checking in can be a little confusing read and follow the directions they send
The river boat tour was just ok but the Hawaiian music, hula, dancing and Fern Grotto was amazing !!
Enjoyable relaxing and fun journey to the beautiful grotto 🌼
Nič podobné som ešte nevidela.Urcite doporučujem pri návšteve tohoto krásneho divokého ostrova!
Najsilnejší zazitok počas našej trojtyzdnovej dovolenky na Hawajskych ostrovoch.
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!
Get there early so you don’t miss anything.
We are so glad we started our vacation with a traditional lei greeting! The girls loved it, and grandma did too!! Dan was amazing to work with and so understanding when our flight was delayed and reassured us that he would be there to greet us. He was and it was so worth it to see everyone’s smile!! Would highly recommend and would do it again in a heartbeat! Thank you so much!!!
Our family of six had a great day on the paddle and hike to Secret Falls. Our guide was Harrison and he was amazing. Fun, helpful, and gave us all kinds of cool facts and stories about the flora and fauna and people of the area. He even got a bird to eat a worm out of my daughter’s hand! The falls were huge and beautiful. An absolutely great day!
Get Harrison as your guide!
Also, wear shoes that you don’t mind ruining- serious mud on the hike!
This kayak/hike was so fun. It took 4 hours and the experience was worth the trip
Definitely going the morning
We enjoyed our experience very much! Easy day and easy walk to the grotto.
Been to two other luaus. This was by far the best. It’s a full experience not just good and dance. Beautiful grounds. Awesome staff. Amazing entertainment. Lots of delicious food and drink. We loved it.
Get there early to have time to enjoy the grounds.
Due to weather conditions, we had to re-schedule 3 times, but we were so glad we finally got to go up. Marcus was our pilot and he was fabulous. He was very friendly and so informative on our flight. We ended up going on our last day in Kauai, but it was the best ending ever. I highly recommend Wings over Kauai….it allowed us a chance to see parts of the island (oh so many waterfalls and rocky cliffs) that you can’t see from the ground. We also felt the price was quite reasonable for this experience. We definitely recommend this experience!! A great way to spend our 30th anniversary!

Ginger ale and water was provided just in case a passenger has a sensitive stomach.
My family loved the show learned much about Havaii lol and still talking and asking about what they saw days later. Thank you
Buy early
Super fun for all ages! Our guide, Noah, was great and entertaining the whole trip.
The red dirt will stain so dress accordingly
We truly enjoyed the hospitality of the captain and crew. Beautiful scenery! We loved the live music and hula dancing
The crew was great, we loved the boat ride and hula lesson!
Our tour guide Barkley was amazing! The whole family had a great time. The guides were so funny and knowledgeable. This is a MUST DO if you’re in Kauai!
Our guides were awesome and the water refreshing! 😆 Would recommend this float to all, especially non swimmers. Mostly gentle with a lot of fun.
Traveling through the tunnels was a lot of fun and our guide Megan was very informative about the plantation history.
This was a great Luau. We had heard great review about this and we are so glad we experienced it. The grounds were beautiful, the food was delicious and the show was excellent. The excursion was well organized.
