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

Great river tour

Reviewed by: Hfam

This was the perfect fit for us and our 3 year old. The boat is kid friendly and the fern grotto is easily accessible with a short walk on a paved path. Great opportunity to see something up river for those with small children or any mobility limitations.

エアバン遊覧飛行 カウアイ島の絶景を上空から堪能!ワイメア渓谷、ナ・パリ・コースト、ハナペペ渓谷、ジュラシック・パークに登場の滝<英語ガイド/リフエ空港発>

The top experience to have on Kauai Island! カウアイ島で一番やるべき体験!

Reviewed by: HIROCO

When you think of Kauai, you think of the Na Pali Coast. The Na Pali Coast is a breathtaking view that can only be seen by boat, air, or through strenuous trekking. I went trekking, but I wanted to see the whole thing from a boat or by air, so I did some research and ultimately decided that seeing it from above would be best.

Helicopter tours were about twice the price, and boat tours were over 30,000 yen, while this one was in the 20,000 yen range, so I chose this option. Honestly, I felt that 20,000 yen was a great deal for such an amazing experience! I made the right choice!

The stunning views were overwhelming. I was worried about turbulence, but it felt just like being on a regular airplane, and I wasn't scared at all (the pilot was very skilled). Although I'm not fluent in English, the pilot was considerate and chatted with us, guiding us by saying things like, "We're right above here," which made the experience very enjoyable.

We were told to leave our bags in the car, so we weighed ourselves with just our cameras and essentials. There were five of us in total. The other three were all larger individuals, weighing around 70 to 100 kg, and it seemed like the heavier people got the front seats. There were three single seats in a row, and the back had two connected seats, which is where we sat.

In the end, I think the size of the windows and the wide view we had, being away from the wings and wheels, gave us the best angles for photos.

I heard that the mountains look beautiful in the afternoon when the sun is up, so I booked a 2:00 PM flight. The Waimea side was a bit cloudy, but it was absolutely stunning! It was great to see the places I had walked a few days earlier, like the Kalalau Trail and the Kilauea Lighthouse, from above again. I recommend doing this activity later in your trip.

I stayed in Kauai for six days, but the memories from this activity left the strongest impression on me, and I'm really glad I did it. Honestly, if you do this, you might feel satisfied enough not to do anything else. It was truly amazing! I highly recommend it!

カウアイ島といえばナパリ―コースト。ナパリ―コーストは船か飛行か過酷トレッキングでしか見ることができない絶景。トレッキングには行ったけれど、船か飛行で全体を観たいと思い色々調べていて、やっぱり上空からが良さそうだなと思い飛行を選択。
ヘリだと倍ぐらいの料金だったし、船だと3万円以上でこちらは2万円台だったのでこちらにしました。正直2万円台じゃ安いと思うぐらい最高な体験でした!こっちで大正解!

もう感動の絶景の嵐でした。揺れるかなと心配でしたが、普通の飛行機に乗ってるようなレベルでまったく怖くなかったです。(パイロットの運転がうまかった)
英語が堪能ではありませんが、パイロットが気遣って話しかけてくれたり、今ここの上空ですよ~とガイドしてくれたりしてすごく楽しめました。

カメラ以外の荷物は車に置いてね、ということで荷物は車に置いてカメラなど持って行くものを持った状態で体重測定。私の時は全部で5人。私達以外の3人はみんな大きい人で70~100kgぐらいありそうでしたが、体重が重い人ほど前の席という感じでした…1人席が3列あって後ろの席が2席繋がってる感じで私たちはそこでした。
でも結果的に窓の大きさと見える範囲の広さ、翼や車輪から離れているので撮れる画角は一番良かったのではないかと思います。

ナパリ―コーストは太陽が昇っている午後の方が山々の筋が綺麗に見れると聞いて14:00のフライトを予約しました。ワイメア側は少し曇っていたけれどとにかく絶景でした!数日前に歩いたカララウトレイルの場所やキラウエア灯台など、先に行った場所をもう一度上空から見れたのでよかった。旅行後半に行くのをおすすめします。
カウアイ島には6日間滞在しましたが、このアクティビティの思い出の印象が最も強く、本当にやってよかったです。なんならこれさえ押さえれば他いかなくてもいいぐらい満足できます。本当に最高でした!超おすすめします!

We had a great time with Kauai Mountain Tubing Adventure. Brice, our main guide, was very experienced, safety conscious and fun. He was born and raised on Kauai so get his recommendations on things to do on the island.
The tubing in the canal and tunnels was great and another guide, Cameron, made it fun, too.
There was a wonderful lunch provided after the tubing. I highly recommend this excursion.

I joined this tour because it was the only way to visit the Fern Grotto. I was glad to be able to participate since I had wanted to visit it at least once. Although we couldn't enter the cave due to past hurricanes and landslides, we were able to enjoy the atmosphere. We also had fun singing hula and songs in front of the Fern Grotto. It was great to feel the essence of Hawaii.

Pilot Asa was fluent in Japanese and provided explanations in both English and Japanese, which was very helpful! Japanese was definitely easier to understand, allowing for a deeper comprehension. The piloting was careful, and they made an effort to minimize turbulence. I didn't get motion sickness, but my daughters in the back seat felt a bit nauseous and said they should have taken motion sickness medication. On the day of the flight, the visibility was excellent, and we were able to see places that are usually obscured by clouds, which I think was lucky.

パイロットのアサさんが日本語堪能で、英語に続き日本語でも説明してくれたので、とても良かったです!
やはり日本語の方がわかりやすいので、より理解が深まりました。
操縦も丁寧で、なるべく揺れないよう気を遣って下さいました。
私は酔わなかったのですが、後部座席の娘達は少し酔ってしまったので、酔い止めを飲んでおけば良かったと言っていました。
