Great experience!
Reviewed by: Sara
Super impressed! Our guides were the BEST! We learned so much and got to see and take in, feel so much beauty all while being physically active. The value of it all was so worth it. This adventure was epic, I will never forget it!! Thank you!
Aloha Sara,
Thanks for helping us celebrate 40 years at the "helm"
All our tours, from ocean to rivers often combine some lower and upper body exercise.
And our guides truly love what they do and love sharing their particular brand of aloha.
Stay well and active and retain those memories.
A hui hou,

It was a perfect day for my wife and me. Very well organized and the pilot was very helpful and kindly. Took time to show us all aspects of security. Gave a lot of explanations during the flight. Many thanks for this outstanding trip
Aloha and mahalo nui loa for your kind words! 🌺 We're so happy to hear that your day with us was perfect from start to finish! Safety and comfort are top priorities for our team, and it’s wonderful to know your pilot made you feel well taken care of while sharing the beauty and stories of Kaua‘i from above.

Liko Kauai Snorkel Cruises - Na Pali Coast Boat Tour & Sea Cave Adventure
Best boat tour ever!!!
Reviewed by: Michelle
This boat tour was the highlight of our trip! Captain Mike was funny and a great driver! His crew was also great at telling us about the coast, wildlife and history of Kaua'i. We were able to snorkle and I had a misshapen with the snorkle gear and they helped me through the issue and really made me feel comfortable snorkeling (my first time). The crew was funny and really made the boat tour the best it could be. We also saw many dolphins and humpback whales! If you only do one thing on Kaua'i you have to do the tour with the Napl'i Kai 3 boat tour with Captain Mike!
Thank you so much for your beautiful feedback, Michelle! We are so happy you had a great time on our NaPali coast tour with Captain Mike and our crew. We hope to see you folks again!

Smith's Kauai Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto with Live Entertainment
Interesting
Reviewed by: Mary
I enjoyed the cruise and found it informative. The grotto was beautiful and there were a lot of interesting plants along the jungle like walk.
My husband didn't care for it because of the amount of people on board. A bus from a cruise ship let ofF their tour people which made it pretty crowded but that is to be expected. My husband just doesn't like to be in crowds.

Sacred Falls Adventure - Wailua River Kayak, Hike & Waterfall Swim
Awesome Time & Awesome Guide
Reviewed by: Russell & Maddison
The adventure starts with kayaking out of the marina and up the river. The current is very slow, so you have plenty of photo opportunities and chances to enjoy the views. Wear a hat and sunscreen, you don't have shade for much of this portion.
Next is a hike through the rainforest. 95% of the hike is easy. There are a few river crossings, muddy inclines, and slippery/uneven footings. The hike is definitely not grueling, and I never felt tired. But if someone had mobility or balance issues, they would struggle at a few spots. I'd take my kids, but not my grandma.
Third is lunch at the waterfall. It's an uneven/rocky area, but our lunch was good. The views here are amazing. The pool of water is VERY cold. It's shallow enough to walk all the way under the waterfall.
You get about an hour at the waterfall. Then you hike and kayak back to where you started.
Our guide was Justice. He was very knowledgeable about the plants, wildlife, and history of the area. He had lots of interesting stories. The trip was enjoyable & he definitely added to the fun. Justice will tell you that "Hawaii is magic" and after this vacation we might agree.
When we eventually make it back to Kauai, visiting the waterfall will surely be on the list of activities.
Wow Russell and/or Maddison,
One of you should write a guide book. Do you want to start writing copy for us? (Smiling face)
A very,,,,very good description of what is involved and might say the the excellence of our guides such as Justice.
Thanks for taking the time…it’s a beautiful world out there.
Stay well and active.

Smith's Kauai Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto with Live Entertainment
Beautiful views, relaxing.
Reviewed by: Bette lou
The riverboat cruise was a great experience. The riverboat ride was gentle and relaxing. The views were exceptional. Our host gave us a background of the area, which was interesting, and also let us enjoy the peaceful silence as well. Seeing the kayakers on the river was enjoyable. My only advice would be to wear good shoes with traction. The walk up to the grotto can be a little slippery due to moisture and moss. The entertainment that took place at the destination of the grotto, was really entertaining. Enjoy the ride!

4.5-Hour Napali Coast Sunset Cruise Dinner & Open Bar - Holo Holo Catamaran Sail
Fun but very bumpy and wet
Reviewed by: Tracy
The boat itself was nice and the crew were lovely. Thankfully there was a place to hide slightly from the waves but it's also where the sea sickness gets really bad. My 14 son started to not feel well then a lady across from him got sick so that didn't help.
When they say it's an "adventure and you WILL get wet" they aren't lying. There were huge ups and downs and everyone was soaked.
The food was good and again the crew was lovely.
Definitly not a "smooth dinner cruise"
