Before the show, my kids enjoyed getting their first Jagua skin art (similar to henna) from a local artist. Some of the show's performers had booths selling jewelry and crafts as well. The drinks were stiff, however, the food was on the mediocre side. The show itself was great and was enjoyed by all. The dancers were very friendly and welcoming. Overall great experience!

Wasn't really sure what to expect even though I read good reviews. We had teens and I worried this would be a lazy river float. It wasn't! Don't get me wrong, it wasn't rapids either. But it was a lot of fun. You float, but you also spin and the tunnels are really something. I'm claustrophobic and worried about the tunnels, but with the headlamp provided and everyone moving along, it was not scary, not even for young children. The guides were terrific at making sure you have a good time, but also know when enough is enough...meaning they asked about claustrophobia and when I told them yes, they did not jump out to scare me in the tunnels. Although I would have been ok with that!

Been to Luaus' before, just dancing, music, and food/drink. But this was so enjoyable because of the story they told through the dancing, music and song. Even my husband enjoyed it. Our daughters couldn't get over the fire dance, and the way the dancers engaged audience members through out the show. The food was really tasty, we even enjoyed the Poi with everything. The Plantation grounds were spectacular too. This is on our "To-Do List again in Kauai".

I thought the main activity would be snorkeling when I signed up. In reality, the main focus was a round-trip sailing of about three hours from Hanapepe to the Na Pali Coast, and the waves were quite rough, so it can be tough if you're not confident in your physical stamina. (The Westerners seemed to be just fine, even drinking alcohol...) However, the crew members were friendly and fun, and it was great to see both turtles and dolphins right in front of us.
シュノーケリングがメインかと思って申し込みました。
実際は、ハナペペからナパリコーストまで往復約3時間のセーリングがメインで、波の揺れがひどく体力に自信がないと辛いです。(欧米人の方は、お酒も飲んで全然平気そうでしたが、、、)
でも、クルーメンバーはきさくでのりがよく、カメもイルカも目の前で見れたのはよかったです。

The reason I rated this tour "Good" is because my husband thinks it was great, and I think it was so-so. Maybe, it's because I don't watch TV often enough and have no idea about movies mentioned on the tour. Unfortunately, we did not stop in the area, where they filmed those few movies I actually watched and liked, so it was a big disappointment for me.
I would not recommend this tour if TV shows or movies are not your passion.

The Smith's Fern Grotto tour was a good way to see the fern grotto and understand some of the history. There was a 20 minute boat ride to the fern grotto landing, time to take pictures, presentation of a Hawaiian Wedding song, complete with hula interruption and demonstration of various hula dances on the boat ride back. All in all - recommended tour.

Beautiful location, awesome guides (Zach & Ryan) and thrilling zips made for an unforgettable morning! The location is in one of the rainiest parts of the world, but luckily the rain cleared up just as we were heading out and we didn't see any the entire 2-3 hours, very lucky!
There were about 7-8 lines total that stretched across the valley so the views were unbeatable and everyone was having an amazing time! On activities like zipping, the guides can make or break the tour and Zach & Ryan were some of the best I've ever had, on any tour. This is a great tour for those looking to try zipping for the first time or to do it again in one of the most beautiful places on the island, highly recommended!

My wife and I made reservations online through VELTRA. I knew nothing more than the reviews posted on here (VELTRA/hawaiian activities) and a travel guide book. We enjoyed our morning paddle hike and tour so much! A great adventure that would not have been accomplished so smoothly on our own. It was our first time down the trail. It rains in Kauai, a lot, so the trail was mostly muddy. The guide for the trip kept us safe and informed about how to get there best. He also lead us on hawaiian time for the return trip. Allowing us all more time at the falls since our group was composed entirely of families. I appreciated that very much and a thank you to anyone from the company who reads this. Do not expect that though on your trip, we were lucky that no tour group was scheduled in the afternoon. Our stay on the island began the last week of April, until the first week of May.
You don't have to help the guide, but its friendly to do so. I bet you'll get a better trip out of it.
Wow Jonathan, Thanks for taking the time to share your kind words. Nice to get the feedback that we are doing a good job. Constant struggle to keep good guides and have them approach each tour, as if it is the first day they are offering it. Come back and enjoy the same or some of the others....but mostly just wanted to thank you for caring and taking the time to share.
Until our wakes cross.

The dinner at Gaylord's was wonderful. Later we were greeted by our torch carriers, who were friendly and informative. Pulu (Sean) was especially attentive and made us feel welcome. The very best part of the evening was the show and the story they told. It gave us a true feeling of 'being there' as the Polynesean's made their journey to Hawai'i. This was truly a gift from the actors & dancers in the show.

I participated with my 11-year-old son. The path to the tubing area was bumpy, which I was worried about, but it seemed to be fun for him as well. The water was a bit cold. (The men were wearing either T-shirts or swimsuits. If it's a T-shirt, polyester is better than cotton.) There were five tunnels (if I remember correctly), and we used lights to go through them, but we were instructed to turn off the light in one of them, which was thrilling. There were also parts with fast currents, which were enjoyable. It felt a little short, though. The lunch was delicious.
The mistake was with the hotel. Our hotel was in the Poipu area, and there was no shuttle service to the location, so we had to take a taxi. It took about 30 minutes and cost $50. That might have made the activity time feel even shorter.
11歳の息子と参加。チューブにのるところまでの道の途中はでこぼこ道があり、心配していたが、それもまた楽しかったようです。少し水が冷たかった。(男性もTシャツか水着を着ていた。Tシャツなら 綿でなく、ポリエステルがよい)5つ(だったかな)トンネルがあり、
ライトをつけていくんですが、1つだけはライトを消すように指示され、どきどき。途中流れの速いところもあって、楽しかった。ちょっと短かったかな。ランチはおいしかった。
失敗したのは、ホテル。 私たちのホテルはポイプ地区にあり、現地まで、送迎がないので、
仕方なくタクシーを使った。30分くらいかかり、50ドルだった。 だから余計にアクティビティの時間が短く感じられたのかもしれない。

This was my first time visiting Kauai, and I participated because I wanted to see the magnificent nature. I boarded a boat before sunrise, had breakfast while watching the sunrise, and then enjoyed dynamic and breathtaking views beyond my expectations. I was also thrilled to see turtles up close while snorkeling.
カウアイ島に行ったのが今回初めてで壮大な自然がみたくて参加しました。朝日ので前に船に乗り日の出を見ながら朝食を食べその後ダイナミックで想像以上の景色を楽しめました。 シュノーケリングでタートルを間近でみれたのも嬉しかったです。

I participated with my 11-year-old son. Our guide, Brandon, was friendly even to Japanese people and spoke in polite English. There were 13 people in our group, and first, we went to the bamboo jungle. The path was a bit long, but even for someone like me who usually doesn't exercise, it was manageable. It's better to avoid shoes with very shiny soles. Even if it's sunny on the day, the ground is often wet. They provide bug spray, but if you're wearing shorts, mosquitoes can get in from your pants, so I think long pants are better.
After that, we got into a car, drove up the mountain, switched to bicycles, and descended while stopping when cars came. The speed was just right, and since the weather was perfect that day, it was very comfortable. The bicycles were regular ones, not mountain bikes. The ones for smaller kids had a shape similar to mountain bikes. We had lunch at a spot where we could see Diamond Head and the beach, which was also delicious. Hiking while listening to the chirping of birds and the sound of the stream felt energizing.
One thing to note is that the bike ride is mostly downhill. There are some sharp turns, so children who have just started riding might find it scary. One child in our tour tried but seemed unable to continue and ended up in the support vehicle. Another vehicle supports the tour, so those who don't participate in biking can ride in the car.
11歳の息子と参加。ガイドのブランドン(?)さんは、日本人にもフレンドリー。丁寧な英語で話してくれました。13人のグループで、まず、バンブージャングル?? 道のりはやや長めですが、普段運動不足の私でも大丈夫でした。靴はあまり裏がてかってかのはやめた方がいいです。 当日晴れていても、濡れていることが多いので。虫ガードは貸してもらえますが、短パンだと、蚊がズボンから入ることもあるので、長ズボンの方がいいと思います。
そのあと、車にのって、山をのぼり、自転車に乗り換え、車がきたら停止しながらくだっていきます。スピードもちょうどよく、その日は最高の天気だったこともあり、とても快適でした。 自転車はマウンテンバイクでなく、ふつうの自転車です。小さい子用のは、マウンテンバイクっぽい形です。 途中ダイヤモンドヘッドやビーチの見えるところでランチ。これもおいしい。鳥のさえずりや小川の音を聞きながらのハイク。パワーをもらえた感じがしました。
注意点は、自転車はほぼ下りです。曲がりがきついところもあるので、自転車にのれるようになって間もない子は怖いかもしれません。(同じツアーの子で、やってみたけど、無理だったようで、車にのっていました。もう一台の車がサポートするので、バイクに参加しない子は車にのってくだります。)
