The river cruise to the fern grotto was a lot of fun. The local info shared was insightful and gave us several other sites to see. The entertainment was well done and fun. The walk up to the grotto was beautiful! All in all, a great outing that was a lot of fun.

I wasn't confident about renting a car on my first trip to Kauai, so I signed up for this tour. It was great to be able to visit all the sightseeing spots in just one day. The guide explained everything well, but since it was in English, I couldn't understand. However, since it was a relaxed tour as long as I kept track of the meeting time, it wasn't a problem that I didn't understand English. I wasn't very familiar with the transportation situation in Kauai, but I was able to get to the golf course and the market without any issues using Uber.
初めてのカウアイ島でレンタカーするのは自信がなかったので、こちらのツアーを申し込みました。 1日で行きたい観光地を回れてとてもよかったです。 ガイドさんはよく説明してくれましたが、英語なのでわかりませんでした。 集合時間をおさえておけばゆったりなツアーなので、英語がわからなくても問題ありませんでした。 カウアイ島の交通事情がよくわからなかったのですが、ゴルフ場やマーケットにはウーバーで問題なく行くことができました。
アロハ、そして五つ星のレビューをありがとうございます!
カウアイ島への初めての訪問を楽しんでいただけたと聞いて嬉しく思います。また、ツアーが一日で行きたい場所をすべて見ることを可能にしたことも嬉しいです。言語が時には障壁になることを理解しており、リラックスしたペースと全体的な体験についてのあなたの優しい言葉に心から感謝しています。ツアー以外でUberを使って移動するのが簡単だったことも良かったですね。またお迎えできることを楽しみにしており、世界中からのお客様に楽しんでいただけるよう、今後も最善を尽くしてまいります。

I participated in a day trip from Honolulu. Since it was my first time on Kauai Island, I wanted to visit the famous sights in just one day. Out of the 20 participants, 7 of us, including myself, were on a day trip from Honolulu. It was great that we had enough time at each sightseeing spot to explore leisurely. We also had a nice, relaxed lunch. At the end, there was an accident that caused traffic delays, and I was worried about whether we would make it back in time for our flight. However, the guide reassured us that they were in contact with someone at the main office and had arranged with the airline to ensure that if we missed our flight, we could catch the next one. I really appreciated that. They mentioned that they monitor the traffic conditions and the bus's current location, which made me feel secure knowing that the company operates with such attention to detail.
ホノルルから日帰りで参加。初めてのカウアイ島だったので、取り敢えず有名な見どころを1日で回りたくて参加しました。20人の参加者のうち私を含めて7名がホノルルからの日帰りでした。見どころ各所で充分な時間がありゆっくりと見学できたのが良かったです。ランチタイムもゆっくりできました。最後に事故渋滞で時間が掛かり帰りのフライトに間に合うかどうかハラハラしましたが、ガイドさんが本社?の人とやり取りしながら、もし万が一乗り遅れても次のフライトに乗れるように航空会社にも頼んでいるので大丈夫ですよと言ってくれたのがありがたかったです。道路の渋滞状況、バスの現在地などを会社でモニターしているとのことでした。細かいところまで気を配りながらきちんとオペレーションしている会社のようで安心です。
アロハ、そしてあなたの思慮深く詳細なレビューに感謝します!
私たちは、あなたが初めての訪問でカウアイを私たちと一緒に体験することを選んでくださったことをとても嬉しく思っています。このツアーが、島のハイライトをリラックスした楽しいペースで見ることを可能にしたことに感謝しています。特に、予期しない交通渋滞中の私たちのチームの対応についてのあなたの優しい言葉に感謝しています。ホノルルからのデイトラベラーにとって、ゲストに安心感を提供することは非常に重要であり、私たちのコミュニケーションと調整があなたの懸念を和らげるのに役立ったことを嬉しく思います。
私たちのチームが各ツアーに注いでいる配慮と注意を認識していただき、ありがとうございます。将来、さらに多くの島の冒険でお迎えできることを楽しみにしています!

Providing peace of mind for our guests—especially day travelers from Honolulu—is very important to us, and we're happy our communication and coordination helped ease your concerns.
Thank you for recognizing the care and attention our team puts into each tour. We hope to welcome you back for more island adventures in the future!

This was a great/relaxing experience. Nice cruise up and down the river, good historical information, and easy walk to the grotto. Well worth the time. If you have any problems walking then do not try this. The walk is short but why pay just for a boat ride? This was worth MY time and I would do it again.

On the last day of my stay in Kauai, I participated in this experience. From the welcome music upon boarding to the entertaining talks, the journey to the fern cave, the beauty of the cave, the songs and hula dances in front of the cave, and the music, singing, and hula dancing on the return boat, it was all very rich. The final solo by the female captain just before docking, with the waves, wind, flowers, and swaying leaves... the hula dance that conveyed the beauty of nature was truly breathtaking.
カウアイ滞在最終日に参加しました。はじめから終わりまで、入船する際のウェルカムミュージック、楽しませてくれるトークから、シダの洞窟への道のり、洞窟の美しさ、洞窟前の歌とフラダンス、帰りの船の中での音楽、歌、フラダンスと盛り沢山で、とくに女性キャプテンによる寄港直前の最後のソロの波、風、花、葉の揺れ...自然の美しさを感じさせるフラダンスは圧巻でした。

I was able to fully enjoy the nature-rich Kauai Island. I truly had a wonderful experience.
Of course, I got to see the Fern Grotto and Waimea Canyon, known as the Grand Canyon of the Pacific, as well as the valleys and waterfalls visible along the way. The lunch sandwiches were delicious too! In addition to the beautiful natural scenery, we also stopped by a Kauai coffee shop where I could enjoy some very drinkable coffee. The driver and guide were friendly and skilled at driving. I would like to sign up for a tour with Polynesian Adventure again on my future travels.
自然豊かなカウアイ島を満喫することができました。本当に良い想いをさせてもらいました。
シダの洞窟や太平洋のグランド・キャニオンと呼ばれるワイメア渓谷はもちろん、道中にて見える渓谷や滝なども見ることができます。ランチのサンドイッチも美味しかったです!また、自然豊かな場所に加えカウアイコーヒーショップに寄ることができます。とても飲みやすいコーヒーを飲むこともできます。ドライバー兼ガイドの方も気さくですし、運転も上手です。今後も旅行の際にはPolynesian Adventureさんのツアーに申し込みたいと思いました。

Large boat brings you about 30 mins down river with a tour guide speaking overhead. Our tour guide was very funny and was probably my favorite part of this activity. You’ll disembark at an area with walkways/bathroom through a lush rainforest that eventually ends at an area with a large cliff/cave. APPLY BUG SPRAY! There are lots of mosquitoes in this area.
Here you’ll get a short history of the location as well as some music/hula dancing.
You’ll head back to boat and return with more traditional ukulele music/hula dancing.
Wasn’t a fan of the music myself, but enjoyed the trip overall.
If you aren’t able to do a strenuous hike, wheelchair bound, or have small children this activity is short enough to get a taste of the scenery without the hassle of a rough walking trail.
