Enjoyed the relaxing boat ride. The ride back was extra fun with music and my crazy mom who got up and intertained everyone aboard. The workers seemed to enjoy it.

Kauai Mountain Tubing Adventure – Float Through Jungle Tunnels & Canals

Best way to end our vacation

Reviewed by: Fishers

Mountain tubing was a memorable way to end our vacation. We loved it and enjoyed the relaxing ride. BJ and Liz were such fun guides. They were entertaining and it was a trip that we got to know others. It was such a friendly atmosphere. The trip was such a heat experience.

Kauai Mountain Tubing Adventure – Float Through Jungle Tunnels & Canals

Super fun!

Reviewed by: Melanie

We really enjoyed this activity! It was relaxing and fun. Our guides were GREAT! They were lots of fun - without them the activity wouldn't have been as fun. The tunnels we went through were cool! I was worried they would be full of spider webs but they were super clean - no worries there at all. Our only complaint was it was too short. Wish it would have lasted longer! The lunch was good - just wish we would have had more time, it felt a little rushed. Here we were in this beautiful spot but had to eat and run. I would do this again. Kids of all ages would enjoy this adventure! We had old and young in our group and everyone had a great time. One thing I wish they would do is have someone taking photos that you could purchase afterwards. Since we were in the water and couldn't really get good shots - even with a waterproof case, it would have been really nice to buy some photos of our group as we came down the river and inside of the caves so that we have some memories of it. Since we have no pictures, we have nothing to show our family and friends. They want to see pictures.

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＞

Second time. 2回目

Reviewed by: TERUTERU

I first visited the Caves of the Ferns 20 years ago, and this was my second time. Since I was participating alone, I had assumed that the tour boat would have an English guide. However, on this day, there was a boat with a Japanese guide, and I was able to join that one. It was a chartered boat for a group of Japanese tourists, so I was lucky. Unfortunately, I couldn't enter the Caves of the Ferns. A new observation deck was established, and I had to view it from there, which was disappointing. However, the explanations from the Japanese guide made the situation clear, and I understood it well.

シダの洞窟は20年前にはじめて行き、今回が2回目でした。一人参加のため遊覧船は英語ガイドになると観念していました。ところがこの日は日本語ガイドの船が出るのでそちらに乗せてくれました。日本人の団体のためにチャーターした船でした。ラッキーでした。シダの洞窟には入れませんでした。展望台が新設されてここから眺めることになり残念でした。日本語ガイドの説明で事情がよくわかり納得でした。

Hawaiian Vacation of a Lifetime.

Reviewed by: Carl

My entire trip was wonderful but the Luau experience was extraordinary. The grounds itself are like being in paradise but the food was really good and so much of it. The entertainment however was amazing. I particularly enjoyed how the history of those who inhabit the islands was depicted. Anyone planning to visit the Hawaiian islands should definitely do this. I would certainly do it again.

Amazing Luau

Reviewed by: Edith Armenta

My husband and I had an excellent time there.
We arrived and the staff was very friendly in directing us where to go. As we got into the tram, we were welcomed but a coupe peacocks flapping their feathers. The tour of the garden was very informative and fun. If you get there early you can walk around and take pictures. The food was delicious! There was a live band and taught us how to do the hula. And the show was very entertaining. We definitely recommend this luau. We love the fact that it is family owned.

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

Liked it so much we brought our kids to see it

Reviewed by: Dhpaul

We have gone to numerous luaus with mixed experiences. Sometimes great dancers but average food. Sometimes just a poor experience altogether. We went the the Smith family luau in 2011 when we took our parents for their 50th anniversary. We loved it. Great food with an outstanding setting.
This year we took our son, daughter in law and grandson to Kauai for a week. We decided to go to Smiths luau the night before leaving. If far exceeded expectations.
Come early to walk the garden grounds as they are spectacular. Our son has gone to luaus on Maui and Oahu as well as at Gaylords. He thought this one had it all. Great food a very well done show.
You too will come back.

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＞

I finally went to the Na Pali Coast! 念願のナ・パリ・コースト行ってきました！

Reviewed by: カトマチ

The only non-white participants were us? We received a humorous explanation in English from the captain (we were given a written explanation in Japanese beforehand) and set sail! The waves were rough, and the boat was rocking quite a bit. Early on, we had a light snack service with drinks and canapés at the counter. I thought I might feel sick if I ate too much, so I only had a little, but the sparkling wine got me excited. (My husband was the designated driver, so he was just taking photos.) Gradually, the Na Pali Coast revealed itself. It was breathtaking! The waterfalls, the unique shadows of the landscape, and we even went through caves! We enjoyed it all the way to the end (is that Ke'e Beach ahead?). As the sunset began, we headed back. Then a rainbow appeared, and a whale slapped the surface with its tail, while a large pod of dolphins accompanied the boat, jumping occasionally! The sun set over Niihau Island. A nearby foreign gentleman proudly showed us the photos he took of the stunning sunset. We were really lucky! After that, we had some Mexican food before docking. The captain shook hands with each of us as we disembarked. I gave a tip as a thank you for the wonderful experience. Just as it was getting dark and we were about to head home, it started pouring rain! I didn’t know how to use the navigation system! I couldn’t see the signs! I got lost and felt like a stranger in the woods! Somehow, I managed to get back, and it turned out to be an adventurous day until the very end. This was the only time we got caught in the rain on the often rainy Kauai Island. (laughs)

参加者は私達以外はすべて白人？船長の英語でジョークの効いた説明（事前に日本語で内容が書かれた説明書を貰う）を受け、出港！波が荒く、揺れもなかなか。早々にカウンターで飲み物やカナッペなどの軽食サービス。でも食べたら気持ち悪くなるかもと思いちょっとだけ食べ、スパークリングワインで、わくわく気分。（主人はドライバーなのでカメラ小僧に徹してました）徐々にその姿を見せるナ・パリコースト。これよこれ！！というほどに圧巻！滝や陰影のあるあの独特の景観、そして洞窟もくぐる！先の先まで（もうこの先はKeビーチ？）堪能し、サンセットが始まる頃に復路へ。すると虹がかかり、クジラがしっぽで水面を叩くは、周りにはイルカの大群が船に伴送し、時々ジャンプ！ニイハウ島に沈む太陽。素晴らしいサンセットに近くの外人の御主人が撮った写真を自慢げに見せてくれました。本当にラッキー！でメキシカン料理を食べ寄港。船長が一人一人と握手してお見送り。満足のお礼にチップを渡し下船。さー暗くなって来たので帰ろうとしたらどしゃぶりの雨！、ナビ使い方分からず！標識も見えない！で、道に迷い、森の中でストレンジャー！どうにか帰ることが出来、最後までアドベンチャーの一日でした。雨の多いカウアイ島で雨に降られたのは、この時だけでした。（笑）

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

Smiths Luau

Reviewed by: Philip Hales

After being driven around the Paradise Garden we were left to wander and take pictures until the rising out of the pit of the roasted pig - the Imu. The aroma was mouthwatering, and shortly thereafter we were led to the food area, and invited to take our seats. The food was brilliant and plentisome, I doubt many would have left not feeling truly sated.
After the feast, we walked to the theatre (shame that it rained, but it did not dampen our spirits) we were presented with a show of dancing from a range of Pacific countries. The dancers (in the rain) put on a brave face and gave us a great evening. Certainly recommend this to anyone thinking of visiting a Luau.

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＞

Couldn't see the Na Pali Coast. ナパリコースト見れず

Reviewed by: 三宅　進

After we set sail, I thought it was strange that we were heading south, and we kept drifting further away from the Napali Coast. It seems that the waves were too high, and they changed the destination. I was really looking forward to it, so it's a disappointing outcome. I believe there was probably an announcement from the captain before we set off, but I couldn't understand any of the English. At least one small consolation is that I was able to see a whale in the distance.

出航後、南へ向かったのでおかしいなと思っていたのですが、どんどんナパリコーストとは離れていくばかり。どうやら波が高くて行き先を変更したようです。ものすごく楽しみにしていたので悲しい結果です。おそらく出航前に船長からアナウンスがあったとは思いますが、英語がさっぱりわからず。せめてもの救いは、クジラを遠目に見れたことかな。
