Kauai Backcountry Treetop Canopy Zipline & Swimming Adventure with Lunch

Love this Place!!

Reviewed by: Hawaii Frequenters!

My husband and I chose to zipline here as it was recommended by my parents who have been here and other places on Kauai. They said this was the best and I believe it! My husband is afraid of heights and wasn't sure how he would do... but he LOVED IT!! Don't let that scare you. The crew is awesome and we want to go everytime we visit now. We also do the tubing they have, too. :)

Kipu Ranch ATV Tour – Scenic Ride Through Jurassic Park Film Locations

Wet and wild

Reviewed by: Honeymooners

My husband and I did this activity while on our honeymoon in Jan. We had a blast, even though we were both covered in red mud and water, it was great experience. Kipu Ranch is beautiful, I recommend that all people see the land and hear all the history behind it. My husband and I will most definitely do this activity when we go back, but take individual quads this time,

ナ・パリ・コースト クルーズ 立ち入り禁止の聖域「ニイハウ島」沖でのシュノーケリング付き<朝食・ビュッフェ昼食付き/英語ガイド>

It wasn't interesting. 面白くなかった。

Reviewed by: Jun Hamasaki

Despite being told to gather at Port Allen at 6 AM, when I arrived at 5:45 AM, the shop lights were off and there were no staff present. The parking situation was also unhelpful. Perhaps due to a low-pressure system passing through the night before, the boat was rocking heavily, and the rainy weather prevented us from enjoying the stunning views of the Na Pali Coast. The snorkeling was challenging because the water was cold and the waves were high, so I quickly got back on the boat. The lunch was average, but the return trip was extremely bumpy, leading to many people getting seasick, including myself. In hindsight, I think it would have been better to enjoy the coastal scenery slowly on a catamaran yacht instead of a speedboat. Overall, it was a difficult activity to participate in.

早朝6時にポート・アレンに集合とあるのに5時45分に行ったらお店の電気も点いてないし係員もいませんでした。駐車場も案内も不親切です。前夜に低気圧が通過したせいか船の揺れが激しく雨模様の天候もあってナ・パリ・コーストの絶景も楽しめませんでした。スノーケルは水が冷たく波が高かったのですぐに船に上がりました。ランチは普通でしたが帰路の揺れが半端じゃなくて船酔い続出で僕も戻しました。結果的にはスピードボートじゃなくてカタマラン・ヨットでゆっくりとコーストの景色だけを楽しんだほうが良かったとおもいます。参加してつらかったアクティビティでした。

Smiths Family Garden Luau in Kauai - Authentic Hawaiian Dinner & Show

( THE LUAU )

Reviewed by: Dave Woehrman

Arriving on the island of kauai with so many things planned was so exciting but the garden tour before the luau and touring the grounds was fantastic. Everthing about the whole show was very exciting from the necklace greeting all the way to the spectacular fire dance at the end of the show. My family and I found this adventure to be one of our favrorites while on our stay on Kauai.
The staff along with all the people in the show were just great it was plain to see that the ALOHA spirit was alive and well.
The food was unbeatable the colorfull costumes and the show priceless !! Smith's tropical paradise luau is best discribed as the Big Kahuna. If your planning a trip to Kauai put this at the top of your list of things to do

Smith’s Fern Grotto River Cruise with Live Hawaiian Music & Hula

Disappointing

Reviewed by: jcaruthers

My new husband and I went on this River cruise as recommended by our travel agent as the most romantic thing we could do for our honeymoon.

The only romantic thing about it was the Hawaiian wedding song while we stood on a deck with 100 other people. This would not be my idea of romantic. Maybe it used to be a romantic place to go when you could go inside the cave but now it just looks like a rock wall with some ferns in it.

We didn't get the best start to our boat ride but we were both disappointed when we arrived to our location. The entertainment was fun and were really the only reason the trip was worth it. I wouldn't recomend it to anyone as a place to see on their honeymoon. The only thing that redeemed it was that it was probably the cheapest thing we did while we were there.

Since this site won't let me pick wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I chose families.

Smiths Family Garden Luau in Kauai - Authentic Hawaiian Dinner & Show

Honeymoon luau

Reviewed by: jcaruthers

This was a fantastic first timer luau experience. You get so much for your money with this luau! You get to spend time roaming the grounds which are a lovely tropical garden paradise. We got some lovely pictures and were able to have some alone time while attending the luau.

The one disappointment for us being that it was our honeymoon, was that it was a very large crowd and didn't have a very intimate feel. We would have liked to experience a luau where we were a small group and get to have more of an interactive experience with the hosts than you can have with that large a crowd.

The food wasn't my favorite but it was good. The service was wonderful and the host (commentator) was wonderful at describing what was going to happen and entertaining for our meal. The show was fantastic and very worth the wait.

Kauai Mountain Tubing Adventure – Float Through Jungle Tunnels & Canals

Tubing

Reviewed by: SherryBear

I had a great time doing the tubing activity! It was definitely relaxing and fun and I'd highly recommend it..The only issue I would have is that it's not a very long tour (mainly cause I could have kept floating for hours on end or at least done it twice). The guides were excellent and fun. They were genuinely nice and kept us entertained with stories, history, jokes..they made an effort to get to know the guests on the tour and were good at remembering names. I had Ian and Mike(?) I think thats his name, as they really were very genuinely friendly. You'll get wet on this activity but its not strenuous by any means and its something different to do. It was my first visit to Kauai and I had been hearing about this tour from other friends for quite some time so I am so glad I did it! I only wish I had also signed up for the ziplining too! Its a bit steep price wise as the tour really doesn't last that long but that being said I would do this again in a heartbeat because it was so relax

Mountain Tube マウンテンチューブ

Reviewed by: LINDA

The meeting point office is located in a somewhat hidden area, so I recommend arriving early to allow for some extra time. Don't forget to bring a towel; I forgot mine and had to buy one at a nearby supermarket. It's not a thrilling attraction; rather, it's a leisurely float down a waterway. There are a few tunnels along the way, which adds a bit of excitement. It's definitely worth a visit!

集合場所の事務所が奥まって分かりずらいので、時間に余裕をもって早めに着いておくのをおすすめします。
タオルも必ず入ります。私は忘れていったので途中のスーパーで買いました。
激しいアトラクションではなく用水路をプカプカ浮かんでゆっくりいく感じです。途中何個かトンネルもあり少しスリリングです。
一度は行ってみるといいですよ!

Hanalei River and Blue Lagoon Kayaking & Guided Snorkeling Tour - Kayak Kauai

Very bad service!

Reviewed by: SAEZELL

This excursion was fun, but staff at office was very rude. Acted like we were a burden to even help. Very short and snobby. Especially blonde lady. No one even smiled at us. I have never been on an excursion so unorganized and unfriendly. Our guide was nice enough, but no instructions for snorkeling. My sister had never snorkeled and he just gave us our masks and left us to snorkel on our own while he went spear fishing. As we were kayaking he got way ahead and never stopped and checked on the group. I was very disappointed. I have been on several excursions and the staff has always been wonderful, but not this one. I would NOT recommend this company to anyone!!!!!

Kauai Mountain Tubing Adventure – Float Through Jungle Tunnels & Canals

Butt chill

Reviewed by: Brian

From start to finish, this was one of the best experiences we had on the island. The trip out to the start was comfortable, informative and entertaining. Having a sound system that allowed the guide to talk normally and permit even those in the back of the van to hear was absolutely perfect. Our guides (unfortunately we don't remember them all) were just a fun bunch of guys! They enjoyed their jobs and it showed!

We were never bored because we never had a chance to get bored. The guys told us what to expect and allayed any fears anyone in the group had. Riding the tubes through the canals and caves was easy and very enjoyable. This is not an "adrenaline rush" activity but don't let that deter you. It was a relaxing but fun event for all in our group from the ten year old out to grandpop! A wonderful activity for all ages and physical levels.

The food and entertainment the guys put on was perfect. They obviously like what they do, with the guests and themselves. We didn

Outfitters Kauai Zipline Trek Adventures at Kipu Ranch

First timers on zip lines

Reviewed by: Brian

Our two guides did a good job for safety and general preparedness however we could not hear some of the comments and information from the non-driving guide. The van was noisy and hard to hear his comments especially when he talked toward the windshield rather than back to the passengers.

The air-conditioning in the van was poor in the back rows and little air flowed which made the ride to and from the zip lines uncomfortable.

Several in our family group had never zip lined and were very, very apprehensive (my wife, daughter in law and her 10 yr old daughter). The tall long haired guy put them at ease as best he could and mentally supported them. They all managed to make the first run and then loved it. The runs were short and tame enough to allow them to "conquer" their fears and really enjoy the experience and want to do more.

The overall zip line experience was actually very good and beautiful but the whole experience could have been outstanding with attention to the ite

Smiths Tropical Paradise Luau Kauai

Reviewed by: Peggy - World Traveler

This was amazing !!!
The Smith family really know how to put on a show!

Pros: Great food, awesome gardens, great fun time, plenty of time to have fun and take pictures. Easy fun experience. Great for ANYONE! Lots of peacocks to take photos with. Great staff. The after show was AMAZING cultural world tour far beyond my experiences at othe Luau's. It could easily compete with a Lav Vegas show!! You have to see to believe! Iwon't share more to avoid giving too much away. Smith's is one of the best Luau in Kauai. Even my teenager had a ball ! She was grinning ear to ear. PRICELESS!

Con: Its a really BIG CROWD becauses they seat so many, there's lots of people you eat with etc but not overwhelming. Just alot.

What to take with you. SunGlasses, mosquito spray, camera of course, easy dress (Where something comfy, pretty or fun). Hawaii dress or whatever. Its easy and nice.
