Scenic Kauai Airplane Tour to Na Pali Coast, Waimea Canyon, and Jurassic Falls

amazing experience

Reviewed by: Martina V.

It was our first time in such a tiny plane. The flight was full of incredible views over almost whole Kauai with interesting information from the pilot including the music from movies filmed on this island. He used more different angles during the flight over the main spots - for example Napali Coast so we could really enjoy the splendor of nature. Can highly recommend this company for a flight.

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

Fun and easy adventure

Reviewed by: Tami Lake

This cruise was so much fun. It started off with the tour guide walking us through so interesting facts. The staff was really funny. They made you feel comfortable. The hula dancer was really good. When the boat landed at the trail, it was really easy. It’s a good tour for elderly or those that are physically challenged. I say this because the hike is more like a short walk on a maintained path. It was great and very inexpensive.

This cruise was perfect for our 6 and 10 yr old kids. We really enjoyed the friendly staff and the snorkeling!
Id also like to add if you get even a teeny bit seasick i highly recommend taking some motion sickness medication. It was choppy and boy did I feel it the last hour or so!
Despite that, I'd do this cruise over again in a heartbeat.

Kauai Na Pali Coast Snorkeling Tour & Sea Cave Adventure by Makana Charters

I WOULD BOOK WITH MAKANA AGAIN

Reviewed by: HawaiiTourist 2022

I do not know where to start. On September 20th we boarded the boat with Captain A’a and his daughter Ri (Ree). They were professional, knowledgeable, fun, and worth every penny. Whether you are serious about snorkeling (like me) or just looking to see the sites (my husband) you will enjoy this excursion.
On land they will divide you up into groups and then Captain A’a will explain the do’s and don’ts while on his boat (by the way do not bring bananas or granola bars as snacks – he will explain). He is serious about the don’ts. The Captain and his daughter are very knowledgeable of the area (ask them anything) and they are so much fun.
I would definitely recommend the Makana Charters and I highly recommend Captain A’a and his daughter. Thank you both for a fabulous time and making us feel like your friend – not just a customer.

Smiths Family Garden Luau in Kauai - Authentic Hawaiian Dinner & Show

colorful, lively, exciting show

Reviewed by: Ellen

We saw the show only and loved it! The dancing was exciting and engaging. the costumes were beautiful. The fire show at the end was worth waiting for! We sat in the front row. All the seats have a great view and are very comfortable in an outdoor theatre shielded by a roof. If you get to the parking lot before sunset, you will see thousands of parrots searching for the ideal tree to sleep in and making lots of noise with their murmurations. If there is road work on the main highway, try to park closer to the Marina where the barge leaves or you might get stuck waiting 20 minutes with 200 other cars until the road crew reopens the road.

Smiths Family Garden Luau in Kauai - Authentic Hawaiian Dinner & Show

Showcase of cultural diversity with positive role models on an amazing property

Reviewed by: mromines

Smith's Garden facilities were very nice and the atmosphere was wonderful. The show was different than Luau's I have seen before.

This show was a showcase of dance routines representing the different migrant groups that arrived in Hawaii. It was a show that my tween most prefered and really enjoyed. Smith's keeps in line with providing an authentic array of cast members, which makes Hawaiian preformances stand ahead from those on the mainland. You will see dancers of all ages and women of all sizes represented. It is not only important for young ones to see a variety of people represented but watching people who don't look like a barbie blowing everyone out of the water is in itself a wonderful experience.

Personally, I like Kalamaku's cohesive Tahitian migration/myth story better. Kalamaku also has a larger male presence which performs at a higher level, which I felt more appealing. That being said, I think Smith's was the right choice for bringing my kid and I appreciate that each show is original. I definitely recommend Smith's luau.

This was an amazing way to experience the island of Kauai! Everyone we dealt with was friendly and helpful. Our pilot was fantastic--besides being a great pilot, he was full of information, kind to the children of the family that was also on board with us, and gave us many suggestions of possibilities of where to go or what activities to do. I would definitely suggest going on this experience to those who visit the island.

Very relaxing cruise up the river. Beautiful scenery. Very friendly and helpful staff. Also enjoyed the witty sense of humor on the commentaries. The trail is not the best for the elderly and spots on the trail were difficult to maneuver a walker so highly suggest a wheelchair instead, but the scenery was well-worth the trip.

The large deck for viewing was definitely a plus from when I was there back in 2007. Just a little disappointing that the frems were so few. I guess that hurricane did more damage to the environment then I thought.
Music was wonderful as always.
Boat ride also pleasant. Guide giving information about the area along the river was very helpful.

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 was a mystical power spot. 神秘的なパワースポットでした。

Reviewed by: 何でも体験チャレンジャー

As we cruised upstream on a boat along the gentle flow of the Waimea River, it was a delightful moment to wave at tourists kayaking downstream, all enjoying a fun holiday. After climbing the path surrounded by tropical plants and flowers from the dock, we reached a spot where water dripped down and long plant tendrils hung, revealing a dark opening. It is said to be a place that only the Hawaiian royal family could visit, but now it is a power spot where weddings can also be held. The tour lasted about two hours, and I felt a great sense of fulfillment.

ワイメア川の穏やかな流れを、上流へ向けて遊覧船で進むと、カヤックで下るツーリストと手を降りながら、お互いに楽しい休日を過ごしている一時でした。船着き場から南国の植物や、花に囲まれた遊歩道を上りきると上空に、したたる水と長い植物しだ？がたれて、黒く見える穴が確かにあった。ハワイ先住民の王族しか訪れることができなかった場所だそうだが。今は結婚式もできるパワースポット。2時間程のツアーだが、すごく充実感を味わえた。

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＞

It was within expectations. 一応想定内でした

Reviewed by: あやじゅん

On August 18th, I participated in the tour at 3:30 PM. There were only three of us Japanese, but about 70 people were on board, and the benches were about 80% full. After traveling upstream for nearly 30 minutes on a river where you hardly feel any current, we arrived at a small dock. From there, it was about a five-minute walk to the cave entrance. There was a collapse accident over a decade ago, and since then, entry to the interior has been prohibited. It felt like the remnants of a mining site, and the ferns were less lush than I expected. The staff performed songs and hula both in front of the cave and on the return boat. There was also a simple practical lecture, which was in English, and I enjoyed that.

8月18日、15時30分のツアーに参加しました。日本人は我々3名だけでしたが、70人くらいは乗船しベンチは8割方埋まっていました。流れをほとんど感じない川を30分弱上ると小さな船着場に到着、そこから5分ほど歩くと洞窟前に到着します。10数年前に崩落事故があり以後内部は立ち入り禁止です。採掘場の跡のような感じで、シダの茂り方も思ったより貧相な感じでした。洞窟前や帰りの船上でスタッフが歌やフラを披露してくれます。簡単な実技のレクチャーもあり、英語の解説ですがそれは楽しめました。
