We had the pleasure of going on a boat tour with Veltra. They really care about customer experience and strive towards excellence.
The crew was great, we loved the boat ride and hula lesson!
Highly recommend. We had a fantastic time! A highlight for sure
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!
Such a fun day. Had an amazing time on the river and the hike was beautiful. Harrison was a great guide. Super knowledgeable and helpful. Would do it again in a heartbeat.
Lei greeting was a total success & my sister was surprised!! Thank You
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.
We took this excursion the day leaving port and it was an excellent excursion. The views of the canyon were beautiful. Leone was a great guide.
Our tour at Kipu Ranch in Kauai was absolutely unforgettable! From start to finish, the experience was filled with breathtaking scenery, exciting trails, and the kind of adventure you only dream about when you picture Hawaii. 🌴✨
The guides were incredible—knowledgeable, funny, and made us feel safe the whole way while still letting us enjoy the thrill of the ride. We explored lush valleys, rugged hillsides, and even movie-worthy backdrops that took our breath away. 🚙💨 Everywhere we turned was like stepping into a postcard.
What really stood out was how much we learned along the way—about Kauai’s history, the culture, and the land itself. It wasn’t just an adrenaline rush; it was a deeper connection to the island.
If you’re visiting Kauai, don’t miss this adventure. Whether you’re here for the views, the excitement, or just want to experience the island in a unique way, Kipu Ranch delivers it all. Highly recommend—it was truly the highlight of our trip! 🌺🌊🌈
Definately wear dark clothing since all that red dirt will be EVERYWHERE!!
This excursion was good fun for even us 66-70 year olds gals. Loved Sophia our leader with her historic references and information. The tubing had both relaxed but quick moving parts along with tunnels where it’s a bit like twirling bumper cars. Lots of laughing along the way. Depth is approximately 3-4 feet deep. The guides stayed with us and quickly fixed any bottle neck problems. Will do this again next with my husband and daughter.
Recommend wearing long sleeve “rash” guard type water shirt and swim shorts for comfort.
It was a nice way to experience the Wailau River. The crew was great and entertaining.
We had a wonderful experience with our adult children on this tubing adventure and are planning a second trip with some friends. It's an easy and enjoyable experience that's different from other tubing adventures. We highly recommend it.
This was a great experience for our family. I would recommend this trip for anyone.
Perfect weather and a great crew led by Seth make it a very fun, unique experience on Kauai. The water had spins and sloshes as we cascaded down the mountain. The tunnels and the history was interesting.
Would highly recommend for everyone - young, old, and in between.
My husband and I did this tour last week for our honeymoon and had an incredible time. Our hosts were Jason, Caden and Zara (aka Jason, Jason, and Jason lol) and they were all excellent. They definitely deserve raises! :) We were highly impressed by how well structured the tour was, from the very beginning and how safety was their top priority (my husband is a safety manager and took notice). We can't wait to return in the future!
We had such a great time, tour guides were sweet. Coady was great!!
We had a great time kayaking down the river, and then a brief ocean kayak before snorkeling on the beach.
Highly recommend!
This was my first time but the host was an absolute doll while kayaking she was giving us a bit of history of certain things, she was very informative very helpful and wonderful all together. If I come back and do this again I would definitely choose them to have her and her amazing personality. Thank you for showing us a good time.
Make sure you are prepared for all the rowing definitely hurts after a while
A very fun adventure. Beautiful kayak trip on the Wailua River. The river was very calm and both ways were fairly easy to traverse. A little bit of wind on the way back made it a tiny bit more difficult but not much. The hike was fun. The last part gets a bit technical due to large wet rocks and such and being a bit older slowed us down some especially on the way back. Our guide, Harrison, was fantastic and helped us through the short area that was really difficult. The falls are majestic and I feel so lucky to have been there. It was a great day!
You will be very wet. Bring extra clothes.
The grounds are always fun to walk around and see, lots of nice photos areas to take with family members or loved ones. The Smith family is very welcoming and inviting. They give you lots of background information about the traditional ways of life. The food is all so delicious 😋. Always enjoy going there and would go back for sure. Thank you so very much ❤️.
Make your reservation early and if you want your tables together request that and your photos.
We secured our summer spots for this excursion way ahead, and so glad we did as it booked out quick, and was definitely our favorite excursion done on Kauai!
Unique and refreshing experience like no other that I have experienced!
The snorkeling stop was refreshing- the water was a bit choppy but still plenty of marine life to see, including the friendly dolphins!!
Crew on this boat was friendl and knowledgeable sharing fun facts about the coastline and Hawaiian history throughout the tour.
The tunnels were the best part with some being completely pitch dark with headlamps doing the work!
Matt and Nan were excellent guides. They were personable and entertaining. 5 stars.
Highly recommend! Would do this again. Amazing time, great crew, and unforgettable experience!
We took the kids and grandkids here for a family vacation and wanted them to see some of the things we have seen before and enjoyed. We all had a wonderful time and never disappointed by your family cruise up the river to Grotto. Thank you so very much.
