Smith’s Fern Grotto River Cruise with Live Hawaiian Music & Hula
Everything I was hoping for
Activity Date: 2026/06/16 | Posted on: 2026/06/18

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.

Smith’s Fern Grotto River Cruise with Live Hawaiian Music & Hula
Relaxing and beautiful
Activity Date: 2026/04/28 | Posted on: 2026/05/01

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.

Poipu Whale Watching Tour & Cocktail Day Cruise - Kauai Sea Tours [Dec - Mar]

Activity Date: 2026/03/28 | Posted on: 2026/03/30

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!

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.

Wailua River Kayak & Secret Falls Hike - Guided Kauai Adventure
Great family adventure
Activity Date: 2026/01/01 | Posted on: 2026/01/03

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!

Also, wear shoes that you don’t mind ruining- serious mud on the hike!

Scenic Kauai Airplane Tour to Na Pali Coast, Waimea Canyon, and Jurassic Falls
Best experience ever!!!
Activity Date: 2025/11/14 | Posted on: 2025/12/06

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!
