3.5-Hour Na Pali Sunset Dinner Cruise with Open Bar on Holo Holo Catamaran

Excellent!

Reviewed by: Carol

An amazing sunset cruise! While the sun wasn't cooperating, the seas were calm and we were extremely lucky in all that we were able to see of the beautiful coastline. Because this boat is one of the fastest on the coast, we were able to cruise all the way down to Hanakapiai Beach, almost all the way to the northern tip of Na Pali!

We saw a lot of sea caves and waterfalls, and the crew was fabulous at making sure everyone was comfortable, well-fed (amazing food!) and enjoying themselves to the utmost. One of the best evenings we spent on Kauai and definitely something I would highly recommend to see the awe-inspiring cliffs of Na Pali!

Na Pali Coast Explorer Ocean Rafting Snorkel Tour (from Kikiaola Harbor)

Perfect morning!

Reviewed by: Lindsey

A fantastic day, the weather was spectacular and the crew was excellent. As we reached the Na Pali coast, we ran into a pod of dolphins and the boat stopped so everyone could enjoy them and take pictures before we headed up the famed coastline.

The weather was absolutely perfect, we were insanely lucky, and we were able to go into a sea cave and turn around! With enough time for about 45 minutes to snorkel and enjoy the water and a delicious lunch before we headed back to the harbor. After doing several activities in Kauai, I would most definitely recommend a visit to the Na Pali coast, it truly is as magical and awe-inspiring as everyone always says!

Luau Kalamaku Kauai – Award-Winning Hawaiian Dinner Show with Fire Knife Dance

Luau Kalamaku/Plantation Owner's Evening

Reviewed by: Georgia Larry Kopka

The dinner at Gaylord's was wonderful. Later we were greeted by our torch carriers, who were friendly and informative. Pulu (Sean) was especially attentive and made us feel welcome. The very best part of the evening was the show and the story they told. It gave us a true feeling of 'being there' as the Polynesean's made their journey to Hawai'i. This was truly a gift from the actors & dancers in the show.

カウアイ島 マウンテン・チューブ・アドベンチャーツアー  浮き輪に乗って大自然の中を川下り<英語ガイド/昼食付き/リフエ地区>

Exciting! エキサイティング!

Reviewed by: tsunemike

I participated with my 11-year-old son. The path to the tubing area was bumpy, which I was worried about, but it seemed to be fun for him as well. The water was a bit cold. (The men were wearing either T-shirts or swimsuits. If it's a T-shirt, polyester is better than cotton.) There were five tunnels (if I remember correctly), and we used lights to go through them, but we were instructed to turn off the light in one of them, which was thrilling. There were also parts with fast currents, which were enjoyable. It felt a little short, though. The lunch was delicious.

The mistake was with the hotel. Our hotel was in the Poipu area, and there was no shuttle service to the location, so we had to take a taxi. It took about 30 minutes and cost $50. That might have made the activity time feel even shorter.

11歳の息子と参加。チューブにのるところまでの道の途中はでこぼこ道があり、心配していたが、それもまた楽しかったようです。少し水が冷たかった。(男性もTシャツか水着を着ていた。Tシャツなら 綿でなく、ポリエステルがよい)5つ(だったかな)トンネルがあり、
ライトをつけていくんですが、1つだけはライトを消すように指示され、どきどき。途中流れの速いところもあって、楽しかった。ちょっと短かったかな。ランチはおいしかった。
失敗したのは、ホテル。 私たちのホテルはポイプ地区にあり、現地まで、送迎がないので、
仕方なくタクシーを使った。30分くらいかかり、50ドルだった。 だから余計にアクティビティの時間が短く感じられたのかもしれない。

カウアイ島 マウンテン・チューブ・アドベンチャーツアー  浮き輪に乗って大自然の中を川下り<英語ガイド/昼食付き/リフエ地区>

The best memories. 最高の思い出

Reviewed by: tsunemike

I participated with my 11-year-old son. Our guide, Brandon, was friendly even to Japanese people and spoke in polite English. There were 13 people in our group, and first, we went to the bamboo jungle. The path was a bit long, but even for someone like me who usually doesn't exercise, it was manageable. It's better to avoid shoes with very shiny soles. Even if it's sunny on the day, the ground is often wet. They provide bug spray, but if you're wearing shorts, mosquitoes can get in from your pants, so I think long pants are better.

After that, we got into a car, drove up the mountain, switched to bicycles, and descended while stopping when cars came. The speed was just right, and since the weather was perfect that day, it was very comfortable. The bicycles were regular ones, not mountain bikes. The ones for smaller kids had a shape similar to mountain bikes. We had lunch at a spot where we could see Diamond Head and the beach, which was also delicious. Hiking while listening to the chirping of birds and the sound of the stream felt energizing.

One thing to note is that the bike ride is mostly downhill. There are some sharp turns, so children who have just started riding might find it scary. One child in our tour tried but seemed unable to continue and ended up in the support vehicle. Another vehicle supports the tour, so those who don't participate in biking can ride in the car.

11歳の息子と参加。ガイドのブランドン(?)さんは、日本人にもフレンドリー。丁寧な英語で話してくれました。13人のグループで、まず、バンブージャングル?? 道のりはやや長めですが、普段運動不足の私でも大丈夫でした。靴はあまり裏がてかってかのはやめた方がいいです。 当日晴れていても、濡れていることが多いので。虫ガードは貸してもらえますが、短パンだと、蚊がズボンから入ることもあるので、長ズボンの方がいいと思います。
そのあと、車にのって、山をのぼり、自転車に乗り換え、車がきたら停止しながらくだっていきます。スピードもちょうどよく、その日は最高の天気だったこともあり、とても快適でした。 自転車はマウンテンバイクでなく、ふつうの自転車です。小さい子用のは、マウンテンバイクっぽい形です。 途中ダイヤモンドヘッドやビーチの見えるところでランチ。これもおいしい。鳥のさえずりや小川の音を聞きながらのハイク。パワーをもらえた感じがしました。
注意点は、自転車はほぼ下りです。曲がりがきついところもあるので、自転車にのれるようになって間もない子は怖いかもしれません。(同じツアーの子で、やってみたけど、無理だったようで、車にのっていました。もう一台の車がサポートするので、バイクに参加しない子は車にのってくだります。)

Kauai Island Tour - Hanalei, Kilauea Lighthouse, Chocolate Tasting & Movie Sites

Fabulous Time!

Reviewed by: Tom & Brenda

When Sam, our guide for the day, picked up my wife and I at our hotel, on time, we thought he was taking us to another location to meet up with a busload of other people for our movie tour. Instead, he said it was just the three of us on today's tour, off on a day of movie magic.
After sharing some of our favorite Kauai filmed movies with Sam, he made sure he highlighted several of the filming locations along the way. My wife and I never knew there were so many movies filmed on Kauai and so many spectacular locations to see. Sam was involved in pre-production scouting of locations for "The Descendants" and so was very knowledgeable about scenes from that movie and scores of others.
Sam personalized our tour for us, even fulfilling my request for a Bubba Burger and shave ice. He was a ukulele master musician and serenaded us at several stops along the way.
This tour made for a day in paradise that we will never forget!

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

( THE LUAU )

Reviewed by: Dave Woehrman

Arriving on the island of kauai with so many things planned was so exciting but the garden tour before the luau and touring the grounds was fantastic. Everthing about the whole show was very exciting from the necklace greeting all the way to the spectacular fire dance at the end of the show. My family and I found this adventure to be one of our favrorites while on our stay on Kauai.
The staff along with all the people in the show were just great it was plain to see that the ALOHA spirit was alive and well.
The food was unbeatable the colorfull costumes and the show priceless !! Smith's tropical paradise luau is best discribed as the Big Kahuna. If your planning a trip to Kauai put this at the top of your list of things to do

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

Disappointing

Reviewed by: jcaruthers

My new husband and I went on this River cruise as recommended by our travel agent as the most romantic thing we could do for our honeymoon.

The only romantic thing about it was the Hawaiian wedding song while we stood on a deck with 100 other people. This would not be my idea of romantic. Maybe it used to be a romantic place to go when you could go inside the cave but now it just looks like a rock wall with some ferns in it.

We didn't get the best start to our boat ride but we were both disappointed when we arrived to our location. The entertainment was fun and were really the only reason the trip was worth it. I wouldn't recomend it to anyone as a place to see on their honeymoon. The only thing that redeemed it was that it was probably the cheapest thing we did while we were there.

Since this site won't let me pick wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I chose families.

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

Honeymoon luau

Reviewed by: jcaruthers

This was a fantastic first timer luau experience. You get so much for your money with this luau! You get to spend time roaming the grounds which are a lovely tropical garden paradise. We got some lovely pictures and were able to have some alone time while attending the luau.

The one disappointment for us being that it was our honeymoon, was that it was a very large crowd and didn't have a very intimate feel. We would have liked to experience a luau where we were a small group and get to have more of an interactive experience with the hosts than you can have with that large a crowd.

The food wasn't my favorite but it was good. The service was wonderful and the host (commentator) was wonderful at describing what was going to happen and entertaining for our meal. The show was fantastic and very worth the wait.

Kauai Mountain Tubing Adventure – Float Through Jungle Tunnels & Canals

Tubing

Reviewed by: SherryBear

I had a great time doing the tubing activity! It was definitely relaxing and fun and I'd highly recommend it..The only issue I would have is that it's not a very long tour (mainly cause I could have kept floating for hours on end or at least done it twice). The guides were excellent and fun. They were genuinely nice and kept us entertained with stories, history, jokes..they made an effort to get to know the guests on the tour and were good at remembering names. I had Ian and Mike(?) I think thats his name, as they really were very genuinely friendly. You'll get wet on this activity but its not strenuous by any means and its something different to do. It was my first visit to Kauai and I had been hearing about this tour from other friends for quite some time so I am so glad I did it! I only wish I had also signed up for the ziplining too! Its a bit steep price wise as the tour really doesn't last that long but that being said I would do this again in a heartbeat because it was so relax

Mountain Tube マウンテンチューブ

Reviewed by: LINDA

The meeting point office is located in a somewhat hidden area, so I recommend arriving early to allow for some extra time. Don't forget to bring a towel; I forgot mine and had to buy one at a nearby supermarket. It's not a thrilling attraction; rather, it's a leisurely float down a waterway. There are a few tunnels along the way, which adds a bit of excitement. It's definitely worth a visit!

集合場所の事務所が奥まって分かりずらいので、時間に余裕をもって早めに着いておくのをおすすめします。
タオルも必ず入ります。私は忘れていったので途中のスーパーで買いました。
激しいアトラクションではなく用水路をプカプカ浮かんでゆっくりいく感じです。途中何個かトンネルもあり少しスリリングです。

Fantastic!

Reviewed by: Evan

This was a fantastic tour! While we did not get to go hike and see an ancient Hawaiian village, it was still a very enjoyable tour. The staff knows their stuff and their tidbits were great to have on the tour. I loved how manueverable the boat was, allowing us to go more places than just a regular boat, including inside a sea cave, which was awesome. The snorkeling was fun too but the fish were not very active where we were. The vistas they provided us and the information within were great... I would go back on this again.

From start to finish, this was one of the best experiences we had on the island. The trip out to the start was comfortable, informative and entertaining. Having a sound system that allowed the guide to talk normally and permit even those in the back of the van to hear was absolutely perfect. Our guides (unfortunately we don't remember them all) were just a fun bunch of guys! They enjoyed their jobs and it showed!

We were never bored because we never had a chance to get bored. The guys told us what to expect and allayed any fears anyone in the group had. Riding the tubes through the canals and caves was easy and very enjoyable. This is not an "adrenaline rush" activity but don't let that deter you. It was a relaxing but fun event for all in our group from the ten year old out to grandpop! A wonderful activity for all ages and physical levels.

Na Pali Coast Explorer Ocean Rafting Snorkel Tour (from Kikiaola Harbor)

Beautiful views but unpleasant

Reviewed by: Brian

We were contacted for an "upgraded" tour at no additional cost and accepted. We were slated for a catamaran but the upgrade got us a zodiac boat. We were supposed to have 1 hour of snorkeling with the tour and with the upgrade to recieve a nicer lunch.

The trip out was bouncy but tolerable. Saw the coastline, caves and spinner dolphins which was a treat. Got the tour of the old Hawaiian and the lunch was very good.

Things deteriorated when there weren't enough snorkles for all the people! (They were two short) We were told we'd have only 30 minutes to snorkle the reef which just wasn't enough time (no explanation for the shortened snorkeling time). The trip back was brutal in the zodiac once past Barking Sands. High chop, winds and bouncing on the edge of the zodiac was particularly rough (understatement). The driver did the best he could to minimize the bouncing but we found out that the afternoon winds made the trip we expereinced very typical. It was very,very unplea
