Smith’s Fern Grotto River Cruise with Live Hawaiian Music & Hula
Ok.
Activity Date: 2019/04/29 | Posted on: 2019/05/02

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.

Crew response
乗組員の対応
Activity Date: 2019/04/24 | Posted on: 2019/04/29

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)

Sacred Falls Kayak and Hike
Activity Date: 2019/04/16 | Posted on: 2019/04/19

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!

Aloha Tena,

Dustin is on a roll. One out of every 3 honorable mentions this month, has Dustin's name affixed.

That said all our guides I can humbly say, "Do an outstanding job!".

Thanks for warning others about the property shoes to wear.

Stay paddling and hiking.

Thanks again for sharing.

Kauai Mountain Tubing Adventure – Float Through Jungle Tunnels & Canals
Fun experience!
Activity Date: 2019/04/08 | Posted on: 2019/04/12

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.

Smith’s Fern Grotto River Cruise with Live Hawaiian Music & Hula
A romantic river rendezvous
Posted on: 2019/04/10

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!

Kauai Mountain Tubing Adventure – Float Through Jungle Tunnels & Canals
Loved it!
Activity Date: 2019/04/06 | Posted on: 2019/04/09

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.

Smiths Family Garden Luau in Kauai - Authentic Hawaiian Dinner & Show
Great Family Fun
Activity Date: 2019/04/04 | Posted on: 2019/04/07

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.

Deluxe Na Pali Experience Snorkel Tour, Breakfast & Lunch - Holo Holo Charters
Beautiful scenery and Attentive crew--this tour is a must do!
Posted on: 2019/04/06

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!

Kipu Ranch ATV Tour – Scenic Ride Through Jurassic Park Film Locations
Hawaiian Roller Coaster
Activity Date: 2019/03/29 | Posted on: 2019/04/05

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.

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.

Hanalei River and Blue Lagoon Kayaking & Guided Snorkeling Tour - Kayak Kauai
Rain can't stop a good time.
Activity Date: 2019/03/06 | Posted on: 2019/03/09

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.

Aloha Holly,

Thanks for your nice review. You were the beneficiary of our "dream team" , i.e. Web and Dan who also guide our all day sea kayak tour along Na Pali coast during the summer.

Thanks for warning others that, due to last years flood, has forced us to take a 1/4 mile walk along beautiful Hanale Bay.

Sometime in the next few months we are told that the road to the river mouth, where we generally launch, will be open once again.d

Thanks again for taking the time to share with others.

The Hanalei River and Bay has to be one of the more beautiful places on the planet.

A hui hou,

Micco

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.

Kipu Ranch ATV Tour – Scenic Ride Through Jurassic Park Film Locations
Outstanding Adventure in a beautiful area
Activity Date: 2019/03/01 | Posted on: 2019/03/05

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!

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!

Kauai Mountain Tubing Adventure – Float Through Jungle Tunnels & Canals
Flume Float Fun
Activity Date: 2019/02/21 | Posted on: 2019/02/24

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.

The grounds of the Smith Family Luau are beautiful, kept up well. The unearthing of the pig was a great experience. The food, well, it was okay, nothing special.
