Kauai Mountain Tubing Adventure – Float Through Jungle Tunnels & Canals

Awesome Tubing Adventure

Reviewed by: Steve Sieber

The tubing adventure was so much fun. Sophia and team were the perfect guides, Added plenty of history along with a lot of fun conversation. The actual ride takes about an hour and then you have a really nice lunch at the end and then get shuttled back to the main office. Thanks for the great time!

Kauai Mountain Tubing Adventure – Float Through Jungle Tunnels & Canals

A beautiful day in the water without salt :)

Reviewed by: Lisa D

We had a great time on this trip!
It was just what we needed after so much time in the ocean.
Our guide Makana was very nice and knowledgeable about all things Kauai.
Her assistants were very nice as well.
Kauai is a very beautiful island. So lush with greenery and waterfalls.
I told the other people at our condo about our float trip. Hopefully they'll have the same great experience we had.
Lunch was filling and delicious. Good choice of sandwiches!
Makana had everyone sing happy birthday to my son in the last tunnel! Big fun!
By the end of the trip I would say we were all O'Hana.

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

Fern Grotto

Reviewed by: Michael Thiem

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.

Loved it!!

Reviewed by: GayleBond

Perfect ending to a great vacation. The water was perfect. The guides were amazing. The views were awesome. Lunch was good. Loved the tunnels. 7 miles of lazy river. I could have done this every day of our trip because we enjoyed it so much. Definitely on the ticket to do again if we ever come back.

シダの洞窟 観光遊覧船 ハワイ唯一の航行可能な川を行く!<英語ガイド/半日>

The Cedar Cave, wonderful hula dance. シダの洞窟、素晴らしいフラダンス

Reviewed by: 風流文

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。

Kauai Sunset Cruise with Open Bar - Ocean & River Boat Tour from Lihue

fun cruise !! but would have been better with more drink options

Reviewed by: gwendolyn garcia

The captain and his 1st mate were excellent. The tour it self was very informative. It was beautiful. The only thing i would suggest maybe was to have a variety of drinks. Not so sweet and sugary. Add some vodka.

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

Relaxing and delightfully humorous

Reviewed by: Montefam

This river boat tour was very relaxing and enjoyable. Our guides were talented, insightful, and had a great sense of humor. The fern grotto was a lovely stroll. The live entertainment set the mood for the rest of our trip. If you are weary about going on this river boat, don’t be, it is a sweet smooth ride. We highly recommend doing this tour while visiting Kauai.

Such a fun, family, event!

Reviewed by: Callie

Our family of 9 (all adults) had a fabulous time at this luau. The employees were great. The food was pretty descent (I’ve had some not great food at luaus in the past), but the show was spectacular! The performers were amazing and the flow and diversity of the dances and such were so entertaining. We were completely entertained the whole night.

Awesome way to see Kauai

Reviewed by: Susan G.

Our pilot Marcus was wonderful! Our family of 4 got headsets so we could hear about all the landforms and points of interest we flew to. We got to see sides of the island that boats and helicopters don’t typically get to in addition to the big wow locations like the Napili coast, Waimea Canyon, remote beaches, and waterfalls. We felt totally safe the whole flight and would recommend this tour to everyone!

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

Budget friendly getaway from the beach (wheelchair/kid friendly)

Reviewed by: JD

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.

Wailua River Kayak & Secret Falls Hike - Guided Kauai Adventure

Great experience!

Reviewed by: NA

I am satisfied with the guides' knowledge and humor. On the way back, the kayak was moving too fast and we returned earlier than planned. It would have been better if the guide had encouraged the participants to paddle more slowly and enjoy the river cruise at a leisurely pace.
Even an 8 year old girl was able to keep up well enough.

Reply from activity provider

Aloha Na,

Sounds like you had a stellar group.

We generally paddle as fast as the slowest person/couple and that usually allows those who are more fleet, to go at a slower pace and take in the scenery.

Thanks for the 5 stars and enjoy that 8 year old; they grow up much too fast.

A hui hou,

Im not sure what we were expecting, but this surely exceeded our expectations! The timing of everything was great, lots to see and do. The food was delicious and the drinks were good. We opted for the train and I would highly recommend- especially if you are with kids. It was a nice easy evening ride through the ranch, farm, and orchards.
The show at the end of the night was also a favorite! Lots of quick paced action and dancing. Got to hang in till the end for the fire dancing!
A lovely way to spend the evening. And a real treat at the end of a trip.

Nice relaxing ride down the Wailua River with a short, easy walk to the Grotto. Learning about the history of the boats and the area was very special, as well as having the Hawaiian music and dancing on the boat. The pilot was witty and made a couple of cute jokes. Definitely recommend for families or as an alternative for more strenous activities, or just as a nice cool break from the hot days.

Reviewed by: Sarah G

Fantastic tour of an amazing place. You see lots of incredible scenery and see where tons of your favorite movies were filmed. The tour is a good balance of learning about the ranch and having a great time driving the side by sides.
They definitely prioritize safety and make sure everyone is doing what they should be in order to have a good time.
You will get dirty from driving on the dusty roads. If you wear contacts be sure to use the goggles they provide to keep the dust out of your eyes.
They also provide a bandana which helps keep the dust our of your mouth/nose.

Great time at the waterfalls!

Great activity for those who want to get the opportunity to swim in a waterfall. The hike to the waterfalls was relatively short although somewhat slippery at times. We had hiking shoes which I would definitely recommend. Folker our guide did a great job of explaining the culture and plants around us as we hiked, as well as giving us tidbits to keep us safe along the way. It was an incredible few hours and one we will surely remember.
