Private Kauai Doors On & Off Na Pali Coast Air Tour - Mauna Loa Helicopter

Best way to see the island!

Reviewed by: Raeann

Excellent experience! Our pilot, Hayze made us feel very comfortable. This was our first ever helicopter ride. We had the most memorable doors off scenic over view of the island! Our pilot was awesome and he shared and pointed out so many sites and facts! This ride won’t disappoint!

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! He'll be so stoked to hear he made you feel comfortable and helped bring the island to life with all the sights and stories. Doors off and soaring high—there’s truly nothing like it! Hope to see you again for another epic adventure in the skies of Hawai‘i! 🌈🌴

Kauai Mountain Tubing Adventure – Float Through Jungle Tunnels & Canals

Fun, refreshing tubing

Reviewed by: Teri

The staff were all fun. It was a fun and refreshing mild adventure. The food was much better than expected. Just sandwiches but on soft, buttery croissants with really fresh cheese and veggie condiments. The pictures are very pricey so we skipped them. Enjoy!

Kipu Ranch ATV Tour – Scenic Ride Through Jurassic Park Film Locations

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.

Capt Stevie and Becca turned a special cruise into something magical.

Kauai Mountain Tubing Adventure – Float Through Jungle Tunnels & Canals

Second time as good as the first

Reviewed by: Rumrunner

We we on Kauai 7 years ago and the highlight of that visit was the tubing adventure.
We returned this year and doing it again was a no brainer.
From the pre-adventure information meeting, the ride out to the site ( with excellent information from the guide along the way), the other guides that we met at the site were fun and helpful.
Of course the highlight was the run down the canal on the tubs was great fun.
We had a. Great group of people who all added to the fun, chatting, and yelling along the was( especially when we were in the tunnels.
Lunch hit the spot right we we needed it.
I would not hesitate to do this again when we visit again.

シダの洞窟観光ツアー ワイメア渓谷&ポイプ潮吹岩&オパエカア滝 <英語ガイド>

Efficient sightseeing. 効率よく観光

Reviewed by: みれたか

I wasn't confident about renting a car on my first trip to Kauai, so I signed up for this tour. It was great to be able to visit all the sightseeing spots in just one day. The guide explained everything well, but since it was in English, I couldn't understand. However, since it was a relaxed tour as long as I kept track of the meeting time, it wasn't a problem that I didn't understand English. I wasn't very familiar with the transportation situation in Kauai, but I was able to get to the golf course and the market without any issues using Uber.

初めてのカウアイ島でレンタカーするのは自信がなかったので、こちらのツアーを申し込みました。 1日で行きたい観光地を回れてとてもよかったです。 ガイドさんはよく説明してくれましたが、英語なのでわかりませんでした。 集合時間をおさえておけばゆったりなツアーなので、英語がわからなくても問題ありませんでした。 カウアイ島の交通事情がよくわからなかったのですが、ゴルフ場やマーケットにはウーバーで問題なく行くことができました。

Our family of three had an amazing time tubing through the irrigation canals. Our guide, Griffin, shared so much Hawaiian history and language, on our rainy trip to the drop off area. Kody explained the safety instructions in a simple and fun way that started off our adventure. All three guides were laid back and enjoyable. We had an amazing time and look forward to doing it again on our next trip to Kauai.

This kayaking and hiking adventure was so awesome! I was worried the kayaking and hike might be difficult but it was perfect! I’ve never been kayaking before and this was a great intro for me! The hike was absolutely beautiful as well and mostly on a board walk which is nice so you’re not having to climb through or slip in the mud. The waterfall was a tad dried up but still so
beautiful and fun to swim to. Our guide Jeff was awesome as well. Very kind and friendly and knowledgeable about Kauai. I would HIGHLY recommend the is excursion and would love to do it again!

Aloha Tingey,

Your guide Jeffrey will be happy to know that you enjoyed the paddle and hike to the falls.

For most the learning curve for paddling a kayak is fast, but then there are some….

Anyway, come back and hopefully the waterfall will be primed and gushing (we have had a dry winter so far)

Thanks for taking the time to share.
