All Reviews for Kauai Top Sights & Attractions

This adventure was all that we read on-line....and more!! We came into Lihue on a cruise and chose to do the tubing adventure. Our guides, BJ and Poncho, made this experience even better....comical, informative, safe and most of all, fun!! Service while checking in was fast and friendly. During the ride up to the start of the tubing on the irrigation ditch, BJ provided insite into the history of the sugar plantation and creation of the ditch, pointed out areas of interest. We stopped for photo opp and then into the water on our tubes. This was a great experience, fun traveling through the tunnels and never felt unsafe. Our group loved this!!

This time, we invited a couple of friends for our second participation. I really wanted to show them the beauty of the Napali Coast. It's hard to explain in words. They seemed very moved by their first snorkeling experience at the age of 60. It turned out to be a great memory. We were the only Japanese people there, but the staff was very considerate.

今回は友人夫婦をさそっての二度目の参加です。
どうしてもナパリコーストの美しさを見せたくて。口では説明できませんからね。
60歳にしてはじめてのシュノーケリングにとても感動したようでした。
よい記念になったようです。
日本人は私達だけでしたが、スタッフも気を使ってくれました。

We were caught in a little rain along the way, but the boat took us into the steep cliffs and the entrance of a cave, and I was overwhelmed by the beauty of nature. I even saw a whale's tail dancing on the surface of the water in the distance. On our way back, while watching the sunset over the sea and nearing the port, the last song that played was "Let It Be," which really touched me. The captain and the crew were all very friendly. I was disappointed that I couldn't drink beer since I had to drive. The parking lot is dark and not very busy at night, so be sure not to leave any valuables in the car.

途中少し雨に降られましたが、切り立った断崖や、洞窟の入り口まで船が入り、大自然に圧倒されました。遠くに鯨の尾びれが水面に舞うのも見れました。帰路につく中、海に沈む夕陽を見ながらもうすぐ港という時に、最後に流れた曲がLet it be、思わずジーンときました。船長もクルーも皆さんフレンドリーです。自分は運転しなければならなかったので、ビールが飲めなくて残念でした。駐車場は、夜は暗くて人気が少ないので、社内に貴重品を残さないように。

The view of the Na Pali Coast is amazing. It's definitely worth seeing at least once. Personally, I have experienced sunset cruises in Hawaii several times, but the sunset cruise in Maui, where I saw whales and dolphins, was incredible. There was live ukulele music on board playing EZ songs, which was great, but if you're just looking to see the Na Pali Coast, this cruise was fantastic.

ナパリコーストの眺めは 最高で。一度みる価値ありです。
私的には 何度かハワイのサンセットクルーズの経験ありますがマウイ島のサンセットクルーズで クジラやイルカを 見たのが凄すぎて 船内には ウクレレで
生演奏しながら EZの曲で それには
及ばないけど ナパリコーストみるだけなら最高な
クルーズでした。

Even with the rain it was a blast... wear proper shoes they will get muddy!!

Relatively inexpensive way to see some of the river greenery. Appreciated the history/culture narration. Lead entertainer on the way back was funny! Hula ladies don’t really seem into it, you feel like they are just doing a job and don’t necessarily enjoy it, and they seemed tired. Fern grotto a beautiful site.

A woman from the United States (about the size of a sumo wrestler) fell due to strong waves and started bleeding from her toes. The crew member (a fourth-generation Okinawan) responded promptly and effectively, which was impressive, especially while the yacht was rocking from the waves.

米国の女性（相撲取りくらいのサイズ）が、波が強くて転び、足の先から血が出てしまった際の、乗組員（沖縄４世）のてきぱきとした対応が素晴らしかった。（波でヨットが揺れながらの対応）

We very much enjoyed the kayak and hike to Sacred Falls! Our guide Dustin was outstanding! He shared his knowledge of the area and kept us entertained with his jokes throughout the tour. The hike is muddy so wear shoes you don’t mind getting wet and dirty.
We would definitely do this activity again!

We enjoyed the adventure a lot! Tour members were excellent (personable, enthusiastic, informative and accommodating toward everyone of all ages having a fun time). Floating the tunnels is exciting and hearing history of canals is interesting glimpse of past island sugar cane industry elements.Nice lunch to re-energize afterwards.

Wedding ceremonies have been held at the fern grotto for decades. It's a historic and beautiful spot to get married or renew your vows. We didn't know this before arriving but it was a special surprise since my fiance proposed the day before. The cruise to the fern grotto was the perfect way to end our vacation in Kauai. Even if you're not going for a wedding, you'll get to hear and watch Hawaiian singers and musicians perform a traditional Hawaiian wedding song. So whether you're celebrating an engagement, a honeymoon, or 50 years of marriage, this beautiful destination will fill your heart with love. I'm so glad we did this tour!

My 5 year old and I did this adventure and had sooooo much fun!!! The tour guides were so nice especially to my daughter. They let her go up front and one made her a fishing pole out of a leaf during lunch. I would definitely do this again with my family. If you’re bringing a camera or GoPro make sure it has a tie on it to your wrist or clothing and a water proof case. We had the best time together!!! Highly recommend.

The Smiths family luau was very well organized. They took care of all the guest and made you feel very welcomed. The food was very delicious and the show was very well done with incredible dancing and special effects. You not only go there to have a good time, but you learn the history of the island and all it has to offer. I would rate this as a Superior experience.

This snorkel sail was by far the highlight of our vacation in Kauai. For years I've dreamed of sailing along the Na Pali coast and it was more beautiful than I ever imagined. The emerald cliffs were absolutely breathtaking. Other passengers spotted whales breaching the water nearby but I couldn't take my eyes of the coast. As we began our sail back to the harbor we were accompanied by a pod of dolphins who swam alongside and in front of our boat for several minutes; it was magical.
My fiance's favorite part of the cruise was the snorkeling. We had so much fun swimming in a secluded cove and spotting unique marine life.
I can't leave out the exceptional crew. As we sailed along the coast they pointed out historic sites, popular film locations, famous (and notorious) hikes, and told us about the local wildlife.
We'll relish in the memories of this tour forever!

I had a grand time! The weather was perfect (partly cloudy) and it had rained the day before, so the trail wasn't dusty.

They did a good job teaching us how to drive the ATVs and making sure we were comfortable with the machines.

The guides had great personalities and they wanted to make sure we were having a good time.

Highly recommended. I took the 3-hour tour, which includes the view of Kipu Kai.

Would definitely do again!! I would recommend to anyone!! Good for all ages... we had ages 6-68 years old in our group...all had fun!! This is a must do while in Kauai! The guides tell you the history of the plantation and give you great recommendations for the rest of island!!

This was an amazing time. I would recommend to everyone. Very easy ride down a lazy river. A lot of the ride was through tunnels and with the provided head lamp it was great. Is a good time rain or shine.

This was a great time. This was our first time in kayak and we did awesome as our guide said. The hike to the falls was muddy but well worth it. I would recommend it for anyone looking for a little adventure.

Beautiful scenery! Guides were funny and knowledgeable. It was a relaxing float that was perfect for the tone of our trip. I would definitely do it again!

A warm rain fell, off and on during our float up the river, but since we were going to get wet anyhow, it didn't matter. Our guides, Web and Dan, were very attentive and funny. And knowledgeable about what we were seeing along the way.

One thing that was different from our expectation, but didn't matter too much, was that since the road past Hanalei is closed indefinitely due to a storm, the guides had to park and load things in different spots than normal, which added to the walk to the beach.

I would recommend this trip to anyone who likes fun flatwater kayaking, and great snorkeling on the north coast of Kaua'i.

Since watching Jurassic Park, I had always wanted to visit the Na Pali Coast. However, my expectations were too high, and I was a bit disappointed. My daughters, who joined me, seemed to have a great time and were very excited. The crew members were also very kind, which was nice.

ジュラシックパークを見て以来いつかはきたいと思っていたナパリコースト。妄想が膨らみすぎてガッカリだった。一緒に参加した娘たちは大はしゃぎでとても楽しかったみたいです。クルーの方もとても親切でよかったです。

The scenery wasn't as impressive as I expected, but I was able to see whales in the distance. The staff were very good.

思ったほどの景色ではありませんでしたが、鯨を遠くに見ることができました。スタッフの方々はとてもよかったです。

We were so impressed with the staff, facilities, equipment and respect for the land at Kipu Ranch Adventures. Our guide Josh and his "tailgunner" Chase did and outstanding job. Josh, though not a native Hawaiian has been on the Island for 18 years and is quite a historian on this region. It was such a pleasure watching his enthusiasm for preserving the history and ambiance of this beautiful land.

The Rice Family who owns this property is blessed to have Kipu Ranch Adventures here to protect this land and inspire each of us to promote the protection of this historical property. Thank you to Kipu Ranch and the Rice Family, we had a wonderful visit and will be back soon.

Our whole party of six was pleasantly surprised by the Smith's Family Garden Luau. We have been to other luaus and this rates as the best so far. The grounds are beautiful! The food and service was excellent! The staff were very friendly. The dinner entertainment was nice and the after dinner show was very good and informative of Hawaiian cultural history.

Juan was a great driver and tour guide. I left a couple of shirts I purchased on the bus and Juan brought them to our hotel. Great guy!

Excellent organization of the trip, nice music and dance, very impressive walk to fern grotto. All-in-one: Beautiful trip worth the money

We got to kayak down the Wailua River. Jay our guide was amazing. He told us about historical information about the beautiful island of Kauai and it’s history. Our hike to the waterfall was deep in the interior and he pointed out plants and trees and gave us history and background about them. He was patient and very friendly. Our swim in the falls was something on my bucket list and was definitely what I was expecting and more! Thank you to Jay and everyone at Kayak Kauai!

The eight year old who still lives in this 60-year-old heart of mine adored the whole adventure. Not because it was simple, but because we got to have an experience floating down an irrigation flume through tunnels and exotic beauty. It felt a little bit like we were getting away with something. Also, our guides - Cody and Justin - were funny and friendly and kept us perfectly safe the whole time. My advice is to go in the morning so you get in on the picnic at the end of the adventure. A beautiful setting in which to rest and refresh.

This was my first trip to Hawaii and my first Luau. The Smith family did an amazing job. The food was delicious and the show was outstanding. Highly recommend!

We had a great time! The water was a little murky, but Kevin was great! Thank you!

It was really fun!!! The tour guides were awesome as well! It was just a bit shorter than I thought originally but still very worth it!!
