It was great to do hula dancing together on the return boat; everyone was friendly. The cost performance is outstanding.

Smith’s Fern Grotto River Cruise with Live Hawaiian Music & Hula

Early Bird Gets the Best Tour!

Reviewed by: Annette

Who could pass up a tradition of Hawaiian tourism that has been in operation since 1947?! The Smith family was awesome. They were very friendly and kind. We were fortunate to be on the first boat of the day and in a small group. The morning was cool yet very comfortable. While we waited for our tour to start, the on-board talented trio of musicians were taking requests, joking and visiting with the passengers. Once on the river, the captain gave us an overview of the points of interests along the way as we passed stand-up-paddle boarders and kayakers enjoying the quiet river too. We were treated to a beautiful hula demonstration, native music and an improv hula lesson! After a short walk to the grotto, our "guide" explained some of the history and folk lore about the grotto, afterwards, they sang the Hawaiian Wedding song to us. It would be fun to go back again!

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＞

It's irresistible for hula dance lovers. フラダンス好きにはたまらない

Reviewed by: Y・千鶴子

In front of the cave of the ferns, I was able to see a Hawaiian wedding song and a solemn hula dance. On the return boat, there were five Japanese people, so they provided a service of Japanese songs and performed hula dances. At the end, everyone had a hula lesson, and we all danced together in the small boat. I was really into the song we learned! It was a satisfying tour!

シダの洞窟前で、ハワイアンウェディングの歌と、厳かなフラダンスを
見る事が出来ました。そして、帰りの舟の中では　ウクレレや日本人が５名いたので日本の歌のサービス、フラダンスを踊ってくれたのです、最後は全員にフラのレッスン、みんなで狭い舟中で踊りました。習った曲だった私はノリノリ！満足！のツアーでした。

Great time!

Reviewed by: Trevor

The kayaking part was nice, not too difficult. The hike was a nice hike, not quite a casual walk down a straight path but also not too difficult. I enjoyed having our guide Jesse there to explain things to us as we hiked, he was a good guide. He got stuck talking to just one individual of our group a few times and it was hard to hear what he was saying sometimes. The waterfall was nice, there were a lot of boulders in the water so be careful! Lots of other people from other tours on the same path made it a bit crowded.

Smith’s Fern Grotto River Cruise with Live Hawaiian Music & Hula

I just don't enjoy large group tours

Reviewed by: Linsey

This is a great tour for those that want an easy, non-strenuous ride up and back on the river. I just did not enjoy being packed in with that many people to see the attraction after hiking and adventuring all week and then going on a garden tour directly before this one. I thought it was the only way to get to the grotto, and didn't like being herded in a huge group to see the ferns and hurry and take a photo. We really wished we knew that renting kayaks from the same company was an option because that looked way more our style. Aside from that, the staff was nice and gave an informative tour and musical entertainment for the ride. Best suited for older or more conservative tourists.

Wailua River Kayak & Secret Falls Hike - Guided Kauai Adventure

A Great Day

Reviewed by: Kevin

Had a great time with this activity. The kayaking was fun and leisurely; the hike a comfortable jaunt; the falls isolated and beautiful. Go early to reduce the number of visiting groups at the falls, and ask if you can have Jamie as your guide...he was really great. Not a tasking activity if the weather is moderate...if it's hot or wet, it could pose a different sort of adventure.

カウアイ島　ワイルア川カヤック＆熱帯雨林ハイキング ＜英語ガイド／昼食付き＞

This tour is perfect for enjoying nature. 自然満喫ならこのツアー

Reviewed by: ひめじい

We left the hotel around 8:30 AM and returned around 3:00 PM. We went kayaking, hiking, and saw a waterfall, then did the reverse on our way back. The return kayaking was a bit tiring, but I think even beginners can manage. The guide was close to the slowest kayak, which was reassuring. Along the way, boats going to the fern cave were passing by, so we were busy avoiding them when they came. Perhaps because the weather was good, we didn't need to use rain gear, and hiking in the rainforest was easier than I imagined. The backpack with water and lunch was heavy, but I think two girls can manage it just fine. More than that, please enjoy the scenery of Kauai and try experiences you can't usually have. It was a fulfilling time.

朝の8:30ぐらいにホテルをでて、戻ってくるのが15:00ごろ。カヤックして、ハイキングをして、滝をみて、またその逆をこなして帰ってきます。帰りのカヤックは少々疲れましたが、初心者でもなんとかできると思います。ガイドさんも一番遅いカヤック近くにいてくれるので安心でした。途中、シダの洞窟行きの船が行き交うので船の来るときは避けるのに必死でした。天候も良かったせいか、雨具を使うこともなく熱帯雨林でのハイキングも想像よりは楽でした。水やランチを入れたリュックは重いですが、女子2人でもなんとか大丈夫だと思います。それよりも、カウアイ島の景色を楽しんだり普段できない体験をぜひしてみてください。満喫できました。

Smith’s Fern Grotto River Cruise with Live Hawaiian Music & Hula

Disappointing

Reviewed by: Peter

Hurricane Iniki did in the fern grotto which I had not been aware of so was disappointed in that as it was always so beautiful. Other than that the river ride is always nice and Wailua such a beautiful place. The crew and entertainers were delightful and all in all it's a fun ride but as I said the fern grotto which is what most come to see was pretty much done in my mother nature. I had been on this ride more than once and first time as a child as my father was born in Lihue so I knew the grotto as it had been years ago so this most likely is what led me to my disappointment but first time goers will still find it a lovely trip and fun for all. Aloha
