Blue Hawaiian Helicopters Kauai Eco Adventure Flight from Lihue
Highlight of our Hawiian cruise
Reviewed by: Clifford Rock
We flew to Honolulu and then spent 6 days on a cruise to Maui, the Big Island, and Kauai. The highlight of our trip was the Blue Hawaiian helicopter tour. The Eco-Star helicopter is one of the best helicopters available. It is relatively quiet, very comfortable, and the view from any seat is fantastic. Our pilot had flown helicopters for more than 20 years, was an excellent guide, and you could tell that he loved his work - if you can call it that. Kauai is so diverse, from the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific", to the fantastic waterfalls including the "Jurassic Park" waterfall, the spectacular Napoli coast with its towering cathedral cliffs, and the beautiful beaches. It is the best way to experience all that the "Garden Island" has to offer in an hour. Then, you can decide what you want to visit from ground level. Blue Hawaiian also offers a video of your flight showing both the passengers and the phenomenal scenery, so that you can relive the experience over and over again.

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＞
念願のナ・パリ・コースト行ってきました！
Reviewed by: カトマチ
参加者は私達以外はすべて白人？船長の英語でジョークの効いた説明（事前に日本語で内容が書かれた説明書を貰う）を受け、出港！波が荒く、揺れもなかなか。早々にカウンターで飲み物やカナッペなどの軽食サービス。でも食べたら気持ち悪くなるかもと思いちょっとだけ食べ、スパークリングワインで、わくわく気分。（主人はドライバーなのでカメラ小僧に徹してました）徐々にその姿を見せるナ・パリコースト。これよこれ！！というほどに圧巻！滝や陰影のあるあの独特の景観、そして洞窟もくぐる！先の先まで（もうこの先はKeビーチ？）堪能し、サンセットが始まる頃に復路へ。すると虹がかかり、クジラがしっぽで水面を叩くは、周りにはイルカの大群が船に伴送し、時々ジャンプ！ニイハウ島に沈む太陽。素晴らしいサンセットに近くの外人の御主人が撮った写真を自慢げに見せてくれました。本当にラッキー！でメキシカン料理を食べ寄港。船長が一人一人と握手してお見送り。満足のお礼にチップを渡し下船。さー暗くなって来たので帰ろうとしたらどしゃぶりの雨！、ナビ使い方分からず！標識も見えない！で、道に迷い、森の中でストレンジャー！どうにか帰ることが出来、最後までアドベンチャーの一日でした。雨の多いカウアイ島で雨に降られたのは、この時だけでした。（笑）

Sacred Falls Adventure - Wailua River Kayak, Hike & Waterfall Swim
Awesome River and Waterfall Adventure!
Reviewed by: 3Dean
While this is rated Easy to Moderate, when it has been raining, it is much more Moderate than Easy! The rain brings mud and many in our group were slipping and sliding quite a bit! It is still a lot of fun and well worth the Moderate journey. The kayaking is smooth and the hike is exciting enough while still being safe if you watch your step. Brian was our guide and he was very helpful and had great stories for us. The meal was OK, but you are not going on this journey for the food. The waterfall is a great site to relax and spend time with the chickens. It's Kauai, so of course there are chickens! Would highly recommend this and I plan to go again when I next visit the island!

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＞
ナパリコースト見れず
Reviewed by: 三宅 進
出航後、南へ向かったのでおかしいなと思っていたのですが、どんどんナパリコーストとは離れていくばかり。どうやら波が高くて行き先を変更したようです。ものすごく楽しみにしていたので悲しい結果です。おそらく出航前に船長からアナウンスがあったとは思いますが、英語がさっぱりわからず。せめてもの救いは、クジラを遠目に見れたことかな。
We are so glad to have had you aboard and want to thank you for your honest comments on what you feel can be improved upon and how it impacted your overall experience. We hope to see you in the future and exceed all expectations! Until we meet again... Mahalo and Aloha

Waimea Canyon Sightseeing Tour & Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto
Waited Canyon and Fern Grotto tour 30 Mar, 2016.
Reviewed by: Cynthia Leas
Our guide , Jacque Cousteau, (Jack Custer) was great! He was so knowledgeable and seemed to enjoy sharing with us. My grandson and I learned a lot and had fun. My only complaint was having to drive from Waimea Plantation Cottages to the Sheraton to meet the tour, while Princeville guests WERE picked up. When I signed up for the tour online, it said we would be picked up. The day before, I got a call saying we would have to get ourselves to the Sheraton.

Smith's Kauai Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto with Live Entertainment
AMAZING! If you haven't booked a luau this trip Do THE CRUISE!
Reviewed by: Maren
When we booked our trip to HI my husband had been 3-4 times already. I hadn't been at all. He convinced me not to book a luau. We really like food and figured we'd save the money for something else. Once we got to HI I was really-really bummed we didn't have a luau on the docket, and it was too late to book anything.
This cruise was amazing and once we did it we weren't so bummed about missing the luau. The cruise is so peaceful. The guide is a smith family member and his family owns the land surrounding the river. He knows so much about the land and has tons of stories he tells while you cruise up and down the river.
You stop at the fern grotto, which is so cool. It's a must see on any trip to Kauai. The musicians on the cruise play songs and play a special song to people who have just gotten married or celebrating anniversaries.
Then on the ride back the musicians play native songs. It's the next best thing to a luau.
Already did it once but will do it again!
