Kauai Mountain Tubing Adventure – Float Through Jungle Tunnels & Canals

Paradise on a Tube

Reviewed by: DBL

I do this event annually in Kaua'i.. Great , safe family fun.
Water, at its deepest, is 3 feet. The staff is wonderful. The best experience, in my opinion, is tubing in paradise on a rainy day! Oh. My. God! The BEST experience EVER !. Don't pass up this experience. ........ place this on your " must do "
list. Young children ( > =6, life jackets provided) and older adults ( > 60, if you can stand alone and walk 20 yards unassisted ) friendly! Hope to see you there!
Bring aqua socks or enclosed water shoes or they will be provide for a fee. Go Pro also available to be rented.

ナ・パリ・コースト サンセットディナークルーズ 運がよければイルカに会えるかも!<夕食・飲み放題付き/英語ガイド/エレエレ地区>

The sunset was very beautiful. 夕日がとても綺麗でした

Reviewed by: まりえ

We sped along to the Napali Coast. The waves were strong, and I got seasick.
While we were traveling by boat, we encountered a pod of dolphins and were able to stop the boat for some watching.
The dolphins entertained us by jumping and even doing flips.
The sunset was also magnificent.
Additionally, we were able to go whale watching.
On the way there, there was a buffet with light snacks like crackers and cheese, and for dinner, we had a buffet with chicken, fried rice, pasta, and salad. The food was delicious.
The staff was friendly and attentive, always with a smile.

ナパリ・コーストまではけっこうスピード出して進みます。波もあるので船酔いになりました。
船で移動中は イルカの群と遭遇し、船を停めてウオッチングさせてもらえました。
イルカは何度もジャンプしながら側転もしてくれて楽しませてくれました。
夕日も素晴らしかったです。
また、鯨のウオッチングもできました。
行きはクラッカー、チーズ 等軽食のビッフェがあり、夕食にチキン、チャーハン、パスタ、サラダ等のビッフェがありました。味も美味しかったです。
スタッフの方も笑顔で対応もよかったです。

Reviewed by: まりえ

The excitement and thrill of not knowing what route lies ahead feels like an athletic adventure. If you get separated from your partner due to the flow of water and find yourself surrounded by foreigners, it can feel a bit lonely, but everyone is smiling and having a good time.

Wailua River Kayak, Rainforest Hike & Waterfall Swim Adventure with Lunch

Amazing

Reviewed by: Joyce

The whole experience was fantastic! Adam, our guide, was super friendly and great to talk to. He was very knowledgeable.

For those planning this, the kayak trip was a little work so be prepared for that. My husband and I thought we were in great shape but we struggled a bit. It’s 2.5 miles of fast, no break, paddling. The hike was super fun. Again, be prepared to work a little. You will hike in ankle deep mud in places. It’s slippery so the walking stick (supplied) was a big help. We saw a
lot of people struggle.

The waterfall was breathtaking. Eating lunch there was surreal. Definitely worth doing!

A warm and welcoming crew

Reviewed by: Lesli Takasugi

This was our first time visiting the lovely Fern Grotto, and we had a wonderful time. The crew were so sweet, especially with our daughter who got into one of the local plants that made her cry and tongue swell. They performed hula and sang beautifully, playing to the children on board. We highly recommend this short river boat ride for families with young kids.

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

Fun Kauai Luau

Reviewed by: DrJPaulWede

My wife and I had a fun and entertaining experience at the Smith Family Luau. Transportation by bus was prompt from the Nawiliwili cruise pier. We were greeted with shell leis and had a quick tram tour of the gardens. My wife absolutely loved taking photos of the gardens flora. After the tram ride we watched the roasted pig be unearthed from the underground cooking pit. Then we went to the large pavilion where pre-dinner cocktails were served. I saw the crowd and said to myself “oh brother”, but the bartenders had a system set up that made the lines move quickly and getting drinks was no problem. We we called up by tables for the buffet, which also moved quickly, and the authentic Hawaiian fare was delicious! During this time we were entertained with Hawaiian music and dance. After the delicious food and drink, we walked over to the amphitheater to view the evening dance entertainment. As it was well after dark, the stage was lit and had a live band playing most of the dance numbers. We were treated to native Hawaiian, Tahitian, Philippine, Japanese, and Maori dances. After the show, we made our way to the buses and back to the pier. The entire experience took about 4 hours.

Recommendations include wearing bug spray, especially for the outdoor show, and if you would like a leisurely, extensive tour of the gardens, get there before 5 o’clock, to beat the crowds and the sunset.

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Veltra. When we got to the site, the operators mistakenly charged us for transportation, which had already been paid in the original purchase. As we were a “captive audience” at the time, I went ahead and paid it again, and would sort it out later. The next day, I received an email from Veltra stating that they caught the error, and would refund the amount to my credit card. A few days later, I received the credited amount. I didn’t have to lift a finger. Now that’s proactive customer service!

I have been to this luau at least 6 times...every time we come to Kauai! I have been to a number of others, but this one is positively the best! The gardens are so beautiful. The food is excellent. The Smith family really make you feel like ohana! The show is excellent, with dances from the many cultures that make up the Hawaiian people. The fire knife dance is really mesmerizing!

Reviewed by: みずほの住人

My spouse and I participated together. I was anxious because I didn't understand English and there didn't seem to be any other participants from Japan, but the staff, who were from overseas, were very friendly and kind, making our time enjoyable. The drinks were delicious, and we were overwhelmed by the magnificent views of the Na Pali Coast! The sunset was beautiful, and we truly had a wonderful time. The only regret was that I wished we could have seen dolphins and whales. If I have the chance, I would love to participate again! ✌️

夫婦二人で参加させてもらいました。英語が分からず他に日本からの参加者も居ないようで不安でしたが、スタッフの方海外から参加された方が、とても気さくに優しく接してくれて楽しく過ごせました、飲み物も美味しく、雄大なナパリ・コーストの風景に圧倒されました!夕日も綺麗で、本当に楽しい時間を過ごす事ができました。ただ残念だったのは、イルカとクジラに会いたかったなという事です。機会があればまた参加したいです!✌️

ナ・パリ・コースト サンセットディナークルーズ 運がよければイルカに会えるかも!<夕食・飲み放題付き/英語ガイド/エレエレ地区>

First participation. Unexpectedly high spirits. 初参加。まさかのテンションぶち上げ。

Reviewed by: chamo

I participated on the third day of my 10-day stay on Kauai Island, and I highly recommend this experience for anyone visiting Kauai for the first time!

You can have fun for almost an entire day, and while you’ll be exhausted, it’s perfect for creating lasting memories and getting great Instagram photos!

**Thoughts / What I Liked**
- It was just so much fun. Anyone going to Kauai for the first time absolutely must do this! My spouse and I had a blast.

- The boat stops almost at the entrance of the cave, allowing you to take photos at your leisure. The crew is also very proactive in taking pictures for you. During our trip, we stopped four times for about 10-15 minutes each to take photos of the cave, dolphins, the stunning cliffs, and the sunset.

- Seeing those breathtaking cliffs was amazing. We were also lucky enough to be surrounded by a pod of 10-20 dolphins, which was the highlight!

**Advice**
- Try to sit at the front of the cruiser. It’s super fun!

- Be prepared to get completely soaked! It’s best to wear clothes that you don’t mind getting wet. Your face will get drenched too, so be cautious with your makeup. It’s a good idea to bring a towel in a waterproof backpack.

- If you don’t want to get sunburned, you can either stay inside the cruiser or wear a long-sleeved shirt and a hat with a strap. Sunglasses are a must for everyone.

- The tour is conducted entirely in English, but don’t worry if you don’t understand everything; the essential communication can be conveyed through gestures.

- We departed around 9 AM and returned around 6 or 7 PM. By the time we got back, most shops were closed, and it was getting dark. Don’t forget where you parked your car!

初めてカウアイ島に行く人はぜひ参加すべき!

ほぼ一日遊べてクタクタになりますが、
充実感と思い出作り、インスタ映えにも最適!




・感想 / 気に入ったところ
ーとにかく楽しかった。カウアイ島に初めて行く人は絶対に行くべき!
 夫婦で大はしゃぎでした。

ー洞窟のほぼ入り口まで行き停まってくれるので、写真もゆっくり撮れます
 し、クルーの方が積極的に撮ってくれます。僕らの時は、洞窟、イルカ、断
 崖絶壁、サンセットタイムの4回、10-15分ほど停泊して撮影できました。

ーあの圧巻の断崖絶壁を観れたのは最高でした。そして、運よく10-20頭のイルカの群れにも囲まれたのも最高でした。





・アドバイス
ークルーザーの先端に座らせてもらいましょう。めちゃ楽しいです。

ーそして、とにかくズブ濡れになります!ので、上下含めて濡れてもよい格好にした方がいいです。顔もビシャビシャになるので、メイクにも気をつけて。濡れても染みないリュックにタオルを入れていった方がいいです。

ー焼けたくない人は、クルーザーの中にずっと入っているか、長袖マストの帽子も紐付きをオススメ。サングラスは全員マストでしょう。

ーツアーはフル英語で何を言ってるか分からないですが、特段必要な会話はジェスチャーで通じるのでご安心を。

ー朝9時くらい?に出発の戻りが18時か19時頃でした。
 帰ってきたらお店回りもほぼ閉まっていて、薄暗かったです。
 車の停車場所はお忘れなく。

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

Beautiful experience

Reviewed by: Irene M

We were originally not going to attend a luau but decided last minute to do so as this was recommended by locals as a must do experience. The family and staff were wonderful, absolutely loved talking to the Aunties. The food was good with a variety to choose from. The show incorporated different dances representing the different backgrounds in Hawaiian culture in addition to the Polynesian beginnings. The gardens were beautiful. Definitely recommend this luau as you get not just food and a show but a chance to walk through the gardens with a tram tour to start and also to talk to the friendly staff. They all have such wonderful stories and experiences to share!

  • Too much food to choose from but must have the kalua pork!

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

Fabulous Luau on Kauai

Reviewed by: Kim in PA

Our only opportunity for a Luau was on Kauai when our ship overnighted. This was an excellent choice. Optional transportation from cruise ship, be prepared for long lines, was a great add on. You arrive in plenty of time to explore all the gardens with time to spare before the Imu Ceremony. Lots of time to find a seat in the pavilion before your table is invited to the buffet line. After you are done eating, make your way to the theater to get a good seat for the show. It's a good show, but goes on a bit too long. Make your way back to the parking lot to board your bus for the short ride back to the cruise terminal.

FUN from beginning to end, so glad we did it!

Reviewed by: Kim in PA

It was a torrential rain storm when we arrived at their location to check in for our Mountain Tubing Adventure at Kauai Backcountry Adventures. All through getting outfitted and the bus ride to the put in spot, it poured. Once we arrived and stored our belonging, as we about to get into the tubes, the heavens parted, the rain stopped and the sun came out. Staff is friendly and helpful. They do a good job of going over everything you need to know to enjoy and be safe along with what to expect. Their website also did a good job of preparing us for what to expect. We were 2 among 20 in our group and we were all laughing and enjoying the water, the ditch and the company. They take pictures along the way that you can later purchase. Everything about this tour from start to finish was awesome. It was too wet to picnic at the spot so they took us back to their warehouse which worked out great for us. Our guides, Johnny and Ryan were knowledgeable, professional and fun.
If you are looking for a unique thing to do on Kauai, this is it!
