We had a blast on this tubing adventure. Definitely a great way to have fun without to much effort. Just sit back and relax on the tube and off you go. I took my kids (7 & 12), husband and parents and everyone had a great time. And the way Grandma (almost 60) was talking about it afterward, I know she really enjoyed herself. I booked this tubing adventure and the Na Pali Coast Snorkel Tour and my family told me I was 2 for 2.

Absolutely fantastic! We had the best time!! We would highly recommend this activity to anyone visiting Kauai. Floating through the rainforest and through tunnels - it was a great experience and we felt safe every bit of the way. Don't miss this if you visit Kauai!

Recently my buddies and I were on business in Hawaii and needed a break from work. We had the day off and decided to try this kayak thing out. It was awesome in every way.
A group of guys, we always like to be active and this provided us with the intensity we needed, and the sites were gorgeous and the guide was cool too.
Every guy who went agreed with me, this tour was the bomb.

This tour gets an enthusiastic YES from me! And my boyfriend agrees. We both had a great time. We are outdoor enthusiasts, so we wanted to stay in nature out and doing activities while here in Hawaii, so this was just right for us.
I like especially how the trip was mixed in that we got to paddle along the river in a kayak, and then mix it up a bit with a nature walk...kept things interesting and allowed different muscles to rest.
Really good time, we both had a lot of fun.

This luau exceeded our expectations. There was a tour of the grounds with tons of wildlife and gardens. The dinner was delicious and the entertainment was great. Don't show up tired like we did its a really exciting place that everyone can enjoy.

I felt the grounds were lacking a bit. Kauai is much more beautiful than this tropical paradise. Been to another luau few years back and much better than this. The dancers were fabulous but felt some of the show lacked authenticity, sorta felt like everyone else was tired of it all.

In spite of the downpour of rain the day of our kayak adventure (5/28), it was fun and we all had quite a workout. Our guide, Harley, was excellent in every way. Very informative, patient, skilled, and accommodating! It would have been nice if you had ordered more sunshine but then we would have been sunburned; this way, we were just wet!
Thanks again.

I was blessed to go on the Zipline Trek yesterday morning, and had such an amazing experience. The ziplines and course were incredible, but what truly made the tour were the guides, Trevor and Nick. From the minute we got our backpacks and climbed into the van, their energy, enthusiasm and candor put everyone at ease immediately...truly setting the tone for a remarkable day.
Between Trevor's humor and charm, and Nick's great historical knowledge and easy going attitude, it was a dynamic duo that I for one was so grateful to have lead me. I am an avid traveler, and have been on many tours...and if anyone knows, it would be me, that oftentimes it is the guides that can make or break the entire "feel" of the experience. Hands down, 100%, I can confidently say that Trevor and Nick MADE this experience.
And by the end of the day, I do believe we were all a bit enraptured with Trevor especially...even down to the 15 year old swooning in the back...charmer, witty, and just wonderful. G

We had never been ziplining before but your staff made us feel very safe. Jaime was wonderful. She was so funny and knowledgeable at the same time. We had a great time and we would definately do this again if we every came back to Hawaii. We would recommend this to everyone.

Unfortunately, our trip was canceled due to bad weather, but I wanted to share my experience for future reference. When I called the tour company at 6 PM the evening before our reservation to confirm the boat departure for the next morning, everything was still on schedule. So, we arrived at the port at 6 AM, checked in, and waited around. Then, there was an incredible downpour and strong winds. About 30 minutes after the meeting time, the captain informed us that we would go to the Na Pali Coast, but we wouldn't be able to go near Niihau Island. He explained that those who were going that day would receive a 25% refund on the tour price, and we could either change our schedule or cancel. I felt that the explanation was quite considerate. We decided to change our schedule. The earliest we could reschedule was two days later, so we made the change for that date.
The evening before the new reservation date, I received a call on my registered mobile phone from the tour company, informing me that bad weather was expected again the next morning, and they would have to cancel the tour altogether. Since we didn't have any other available dates, we decided to cancel. They explained that the full amount would be refunded through Alan1, which I understood. The next day, I received an email from Alan1 confirming the full refund, and when I checked my credit card online two days later, the full amount had indeed been refunded. I was relieved by the prompt and appropriate response from both the tour company and Alan1.
Weather is beyond our control, so I hope to try again someday. However, I realized that it's essential to provide your mobile phone number and contact information when booking a tour that can be affected by weather in Hawaii. Additionally, if the tour company doesn't have Japanese-speaking staff, it might be a bit challenging if you don't understand much English. Also, for tours on Kauai, it might be better to book in spring or summer when there are generally more good weather days compared to winter. However, the rain in Kauai has its own charm and can be quite enjoyable.
実際は悪天候によりキャンセルとなり行けなかったのですが、今後の参考になると思い、体験談として書いておきます。予約日前日夕方6時に翌朝のボート出航の確認のため電話したときには予定通りだったので、翌朝6時、港に行き、チェックインを済ませたあとぶらぶら待っていた。そのあと、ものすごい土砂降りと風で、集合時刻30分後に、キャプテンから話があり、ナパリコーストには行くが、ニイハウ島近くには行けないので、今日行く人にはツアー代の25%を返却する、日程を変更することもできるし、キャンセルもできる、という説明でした。説明は良心的だなと感じました。私たちは日程を変更しました。一番早くて2日後ということだったので2日後に予約変更。再予約日の前日夕方、登録していた携帯電話にツアー会社から電話がかかってきて、翌朝も悪天候が予想されツアー自体をキャンセルするということだった。私たちはもうほかの日程の余裕がなかったのでキャンセルすることにしました。ツアー代は全額Alan1を通じて返却されるという説明もあり了解した。翌日にはAlan1から全額返却される旨のメールが届き、インターネットでクレジットカードのオンライン取引明細チェックをしたらその2日後にはツアー代全額が返却されていた。ツアー会社およびAlan1の迅速で適切な対応に安心しました。天候はどうしようもないのでいつかまたチャレンジしたいと思います。ただこのような天候に左右されるツアーのときはハワイでの携帯電話や連絡先を必ず届けておくことが大切だと感じました。また日本語ができるスタッフがいないツアー会社だと少し英語がわからないととまどうことがあるかもしれません。またカウアイ島のツアーだと冬よりも春や夏の方が天気が良い日が多いかもしれません。しかしカウアイの雨もなかなか味わいがあっていいものです。

My Mom, Sister and I went tubing, thinking that this would be a great time to catch some sun...we were very disappointed that the day was rainy. We went to the tubing anyway, and were we ever greatful that we did.
The experience that we had was very memorable...we bought a camera there and took pictures, we had so much fun!!
The staff was funny, experienced and knowledgeable. They made the drive up and back go so quickly, and the tubing, a once in a lifetime memory.
We are all "non-swimmers" so being in the water we were comfortable, being that it was shallow, and that they catered to making sure you got in and were ok all along.
The age span between Mother (57) and Daughter (29), made no difference, we all had just as much fun as the others.
Thank you for providing such a fun experience for our family!!

This was really a great Luau, in our group there were some that had seen some and others that haven't seen them at all, and we all agreed that this was the best time, even though it rained!!
Such friendly, happy people, and fun for all age groups (30-63). We brought our group pic home and hung it up on the wall, a truly good time!
Thank you Smith's Tropical Paridise Luau!! We will be back some time soon, we all hope.
