It was a nice experience, getting the flavor of Hawaii songs and dance and also that was a short walk to a cave filled with germs that was really awesome.

Kauai Mountain Tubing Adventure – Float Through Jungle Tunnels & Canals
We had a blast.
Reviewed by: Andy
Well organized experience. Our guides were knowledgeable and entertaining. M-taps (if I got the nickname right) was outstanding. He made the experience even better with his singing and stories.
Don’t change a thing.

Great Kayak and Snorkel
Reviewed by: K Mag
Kayaking on the river was a good workout. Our guide, Samuel, was amazing
Aloha K Mag,
Thanks for sharing our "secret" Hanalei Blue lagoon Paddle and Snorkel.
Great guiding by Samuel is getting the word out.
The panorama snorkeling below and the view above of Hanalei is unrivaled.
Will share your kind words with Samuel.
Stay active….it's a beautiful planet and Hanalei is one of its crown jewels.

Smith's Kauai Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto with Live Entertainment
It was a sweet, short and nice experience
Reviewed by: Gayatri
The crew were super friendly and kind. The live music and the commentary of the guide was very entertaining and informative through-out. The river ride was pleasant and breezy. Definitely a nice experience if you want to do with family. We went to the Fern Grotto at the end of the cruise and the short walk to the grotto through the tropical forest was so cool. Overall a neat thing to do in Kauai.

A memorable trip!
Reviewed by: Stefanie
We had a wonderful time on this mini cruise to Fern Grotto. We loved hearing about it's history, listening to the music and being entertained by a talented group of people. Every seat was a good one for views and the short walk to the grotto was beautiful. I would definitely recommend this relaxing trip!

伝統ルアウ＆フラ ハワイアンショー ハワイ伝統の神聖儀式イム鑑賞付き＜ワイルア・マリーナ・ステート・パーク内／夕食付き＞
暖かいスミスファミリーさんのルアウショー。
Reviewed by: みやちゃん
ハワイ9回目にして、初めてのカウアイ島。今まで体験したルアウ・ショーの中で、一番楽しめた体験でした。
まず、チェックインしたあと孔雀などのいる美しいスミスさんの庭園をトラムで案内していただきます。そのあと、イムの儀式を見て、お食事になります。
食事の間には、バンド演奏をしていただきます。声をかけてくださった背の高い男性が、片言の日本語で話しかけてくださいました。ツアーの人が多く、個人参加の私たち夫婦を彼が、席に案内してくださいました。日本に帰ってから知ったのですが、彼が、カミカ・スミスさんでした。主催者さんだったのです。彼は、ステージに上がり、歌われたのですが、うっとりするほど、お上手でした。スミス婦人も歓迎してくださいました。食事が終わったあと、ステージまで、歩いていきました。ちょうどいい食事の後の散歩タイムでした。日本庭園のようなものもありました。美しいお庭です。
ショーは、ハワイアンやタヒチダンスだけでなく、他の国、ニュージーランドや韓国、中国、日本、フィリピンなど多国の踊りもあると事前にガイドブックで知っていましたが、行って初めて知ったことがあります。それは、当日のお客さんに中国や韓国の人はおられず、アジア人は私たち夫婦二人だけでした。外国の踊りとして披露いただいたアジアの踊りは、日本の東京音頭だったのです。スミスファミリーさんは、出席者がどこから来てるのかを見て、選曲されてるとしか思えなかったのです。中国、韓国の踊りでなく東京音頭だったのです。感激しました。
食事も美味しかったし、何といってもカミカ・スミスさんご本人とお話しできたこと、温かいスミスファミリーのおもてなしに幸せな時間を過ごさせていただきました。
夫はアロハシャツ、私は、カジュアルだけどロングドレスで、お洒落していきました。
ほとんどの人が、お洒落して来られてて、場違いにならずによかったと思いました。

シダの洞窟 観光遊覧船 ハワイ唯一の航行可能な川を行く！＜英語ガイド／半日＞
エルビスプレスリーを偲んで。
Reviewed by: みやちゃん
ハワイ9回目にして初めてのカウアイ島。
エルビスプレスリーの映画「ブルーハワイ」のロケ地。
青春の思い出が蘇ってきます。一度訪れてみたいと思っていたので、感無量です。
夫と二人で来ました。70才と69才の夫婦。ここを訪れたカップルは幸せになれるとか、言われています。船に乗って、往復で1時間20分のツアーでした。シダの洞窟では、上陸してフラダンスや音楽を鑑賞しました。
日本人は、私たち夫婦と同じ年代のご夫婦と娘さんのご家族の二組だけでした。
英語だけですが、言葉の不自由はないです。
ロマンチックで、かつ、神聖な感じのする場所でした。
写真が、アップしようとしたのですが、できなくて残念です。
カップルの人は、是非、訪れてください。

Sacred Falls Adventure - Wailua River Kayak, Hike & Waterfall Swim
Awesome
Reviewed by: Sumsiontk
This excursion is a must do. The views were incredible. It does take time to get there, 2 mile row in after which you hike for about 1.25 miles to the falls. The guide told us some great facts about the area. They teach you how to paddle if you have never done that before. You do have to cross the river and depending on the rainfall, it can be deep. This is mildly strenuous, you will be walking on uneven ground with rocks and cross a river, good water/hiking shoes a must. You will need to help carry the kayaks to the water and back, not very long and there are usually 4 people to a kayak to carry. Part of the trail does have wood planks to walk on, but the first part of the trail does not. It was beautiful and the falls were full when we got to the top, not always the case, depends on the amount of rainfall they have had. Highly recommend.
Get the walking sticks, very helpful when crossing the river and hiking the trail.
Aloha Sumsiontk,
What a nice and informative review that gives folks a real idea of what is involved in the paddle and hike to the Sacred/Secret Falls.
Your review made we want to revisit, yet once again.
The guid is there to maximize your time, keep it safe and fun and leaving you with some "some pearls of wisdom".
Thanks for recommending us and hope to see you back.
A hui hou,
Micco

Worth the money
Reviewed by: Sumsiontk
This was one of the best excursions we did while visiting Kauai. We highly recommend this!!! The scenery was an amazing, the stories of the area, and the wonderful guides we had. The guides took their time in explaining things and making sure we were safe and felt comfortable on the trails. The stories were fantastic and there was plenty of time and view the sights and take pictures. This is a must do and we can’t wait to go again when we are in Kauai!!
Expect to have fun.

Aloha and mahalo nui loa for the amazing review! 🚁🌺 We're beyond thrilled to hear that your very first helicopter ride was such a memorable one—and even better that it was with Hayze at the controls!

AWESOME jaw dropping beauty!
Reviewed by: Steve H Family
This was an incredible experience! The trails were just challenging enough to give you a respect for the ruggedness of the Kipu Ranch and Kauai. The beauty you see is jaw dropping! As a parent you always like your kids to learn something away from their electronics - Cousins Dave and Kyle do an exceptional job sharing the history of Kauai and the Kipu Ranch. This was an adventure that my family will always remember and reminisce about for many years. Thank You to all at the Kipu Ranch for the best vacation adventure of our lives.
You’ll get a bit dusty but it’s well worth the life long memories! Use the goggles or bring your own
