Smith's Kauai Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto with Live Entertainment
Worth Every Penny
Reviewed by: Virginia
Such a great experience- travel up the Wailua River, learn about history (Hawaiian and movie), visit the beautiful fern grotto, and learn the hula on your boat ride back to the dock. Easygoing and enchanting, photographic and peaceful.

Kauai Movie Sightseeing Tour - Roberts Hawaii
Excellent Information and Hospitality
Reviewed by: Karen
This tour was neat for movie buffs and for anyone wanting in depth knowledge about the ins and outs of the island. Kat and Mickey were wonderful tour guides. This was a must do in my book; I just wish we had done it earlier in our trip.

Lehua Crater & Na Pali Coast Guided Snorkel Tour with Breakfast, Lunch & Drinks
Supreme Hospitality
Reviewed by: Karen
The entire crew was amazing! They were thoughtful, attentive, and caring the entire trip. Several people aboard were sick to their stomach due to rough, choppy water, but the crew was so sweet to those having problems. They were quick to serve, offer, and pick up food items, drinks, etc. I'd definitely take a tour with this company again. They get 5 stars for customer satisfaction and service.

ナ・パリ・コースト サンセットディナークルーズ 運がよければイルカに会えるかも！＜夕食・飲み放題付き／英語ガイド／エレエレ地区＞
「ナ・パリ・コースト サンセットクルーズ＆アドベンチャー・2016/10/26 」
Reviewed by: つるママ
朝から快晴で、日焼けが心配なぐらいの中、午後からの出航でした。日本人は、いえアジア人は私と妹の二人だけでしたが、キャプテン以下クルーの方たちのおもてなしはgood!!ところが、ナパリコーストに近づくにつれ雲行きが怪しくなり、まるでジェットコースターのような・・・。そんな中、そんなお天気だからこそでしょうか、水面からくっきりと虹が。しかもダブルレインボー、感激でした！！天候が急変することもあるようですので、酔い止め、ウィンドーブレイカ―のご用意をお勧めします。
Thank you for joining us and braving the inclement weather we have during our winter season. Thank you for sharing your experience and photo's with Veltra and with us. We look forward to hearing any and all feedback about our tours. We hope to get you out on the water again in the future!

Reviewed by: Cayce713
We went in November on our honeymoon and had a great time. Service was perfect. We never had to get up from our seat. We weren't able to go to Niihau because of the high surf. We were given some options before going out. We decided to still go out and at the end they suprised us and refunded us some of our money. Wendal and his crew make you feel very welcomed.
We are so grateful to know how much you enjoyed your time on the water and want to thank you for choosing us here at Holo Holo Charters! Mahalo and Aloha

Sacred Falls Adventure - Wailua River Kayak, Hike & Waterfall Swim
A Great Day
Reviewed by: Kevin
Had a great time with this activity. The kayaking was fun and leisurely; the hike a comfortable jaunt; the falls isolated and beautiful. Go early to reduce the number of visiting groups at the falls, and ask if you can have Jamie as your guide...he was really great. Not a tasking activity if the weather is moderate...if it's hot or wet, it could pose a different sort of adventure.

カウアイ島 ワイルア川カヤック＆熱帯雨林ハイキング ＜英語ガイド／昼食付き＞
自然満喫ならこのツアー
Reviewed by: ひめじい
朝の8:30ぐらいにホテルをでて、戻ってくるのが15:00ごろ。カヤックして、ハイキングをして、滝をみて、またその逆をこなして帰ってきます。帰りのカヤックは少々疲れましたが、初心者でもなんとかできると思います。ガイドさんも一番遅いカヤック近くにいてくれるので安心でした。途中、シダの洞窟行きの船が行き交うので船の来るときは避けるのに必死でした。天候も良かったせいか、雨具を使うこともなく熱帯雨林でのハイキングも想像よりは楽でした。水やランチを入れたリュックは重いですが、女子2人でもなんとか大丈夫だと思います。それよりも、カウアイ島の景色を楽しんだり普段できない体験をぜひしてみてください。満喫できました。

Smith's Kauai Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto with Live Entertainment
Disappointing
Reviewed by: Peter
Hurricane Iniki did in the fern grotto which I had not been aware of so was disappointed in that as it was always so beautiful. Other than that the river ride is always nice and Wailua such a beautiful place. The crew and entertainers were delightful and all in all it's a fun ride but as I said the fern grotto which is what most come to see was pretty much done in my mother nature. I had been on this ride more than once and first time as a child as my father was born in Lihue so I knew the grotto as it had been years ago so this most likely is what led me to my disappointment but first time goers will still find it a lovely trip and fun for all. Aloha

片道一時間以上かけてナパリコーストまで行き、シュノーケル。潮の流れはなく、安心して遊べる水域でしたが、魚もあまりいない所。透明度は悪くなく、珊瑚等もありましたが、シュノーケルするからには魚が居る所がいいですな。 こういうところのスタッフは、まずフレンドリーですので、片言の英語の私でも大丈夫でした。

Smith's Kauai Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto with Live Entertainment
Good entertainment
Reviewed by: Kansas620
The staff and Captain were very nice. The musicians were outstanding! Loved the walk back to the boat, down the path through rain forest. A little disappointed in the viewing distance from the Fern Grotto. It was explained that in 2006, the area received torrential rainfall and suffered a mudslide. Since that time they had to built back the tour area, which means a viewing stage/deck, quite a ways away from the Fern Grotto itself. You can no longer go to the mouth of the cave, and pictures did not turn out well.

Kauai Movie Sightseeing Tour - Roberts Hawaii
Helpful and Informative. Highly recommended!
Reviewed by: Kansas620
We were on this tour on the island of Kauai, as two hurricanes were predicted to hit the Hawaiian Islands. The tour staff were so helpful in helping us prepare in the event of a hurricane (which did not hit, thankfully.) They took their time and even stopped by the WalMart for us to buy some items in case of power outage.
Wendy was our tour guide, and Anthony was our driver. We were in awe of the amount of information these two have about the history, culture, movie stars, and environment. Wendy is hilarious! Not only is she a wealth of information, she kept us laughing the whole trip.
The tour is as advertised. We felt this tour was a very good value for the price paid, and highly recommend this tour!!
The lunch was very good, too.
