The cruise was very relaxing with the cool breeze on your face. It would even be better if you had hammock, but i do realize that maybe impossible.

Wailea River Cruise

Reviewed by: Maria Lee

The cruise was short but sufficient for the price. I recommend taking the 3:30 cruise and then going to the Smith Luau right beside the docks. Excellent site and entertainment and also worth the price.

WOW! This all day activity was one of the highlights of our Kauai family vacation! A little bit of everything. Beautiful scenery, great variety of information from the guides (nature and entertainment-wise), lots of fun. Especially enjoyed the kayaking, hike and swims. We would definitely do this again.

Kauai Helicopter Tour & Eco Adventure Flight from Lihue - Blue Hawaiian Helicopters

Blue Hawaiian Helicopter Tour

Reviewed by: Ramsey

Chad our pilot with Blue Hawaiian provided us a great tour of Kauai. He was knowledgeable, personable, and most importantly a safe helicopter pilot. The tens of 3000ft waterfalls around Mt. Waialeale and the Na Pali coast were awesome! This was certainly one of the highlights of my Hawaiian vacation.

Holo Holo Super Kauai Snorkel Tour - Niihau & Na Pali Coast Adventure with Breakfast, Lunch & Drinks

Time of our lives!!

Reviewed by: Trussel's

My family is still talking about the exceptional, exciting, fantastic trip that we took to Niihau. The snorkeling was the best that we have ever seen- clear blue water, lots of fish and plenty of time to snorkel. The colors of the water were incomparable- sapphire blue, azure, teal,aquamarine and garnet green-spectacular. The service and the crew were great- they really knew all about the islands and they were experts on snorkeling.
We would go again in a heartbeat!!

Could be better

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

This is the second time I have taken this cruise, and I remember it being better before. Granted, part of the reason is not being able to go up to the actual Fern Grotto (one was able to walk through it before). It is a very pretty site, but I'm not sure that it is worth the price.

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

Mrs. Jean Forsythe

Reviewed by: Jean Forsythe

I have been to the Smith's Luau many times as a couple and with family and friends over the years. As a child I went to the Fern Grotto with members of the Smith family on their private boat long before it became commercialized. I highly recommend these activities to anyone. The entire family makes everyone feel a personalized welcome and are anxious to make your occasion very special.

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

Napali coast cruise

Reviewed by: stephanie

The captain and his crew were great. They did everything to ensure that we had a pleasurable time. The Na pali coast is incredible. Trip was good for all ages. The water can be rough, so beware if you are prone to seasickness. Only problem was hawaii activities gave us the wrong checkin time. We sat around for 1/2 hour waiting for the checkin. Also the cruise ended alot later then
we had anticipated. But in the big scheme of things , no big deal.

ナ・パリ・コースト クルーズ 立ち入り禁止の聖域「ニイハウ島」沖でのシュノーケリング付き<朝食・ビュッフェ昼食付き/英語ガイド>

Challenger-friendly! チャレンジャー向き!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated with my parents and family. Out of about 40 participants, we were the only Japanese. The crew was very friendly, but all the safety instructions on the boat and the snorkeling guidelines were explained in English, so it can be concerning and dangerous if there isn't at least one person in the group who can speak English.

The Na Pali Coast is magnificent, and we were able to get close to Niihau Island, where we saw dolphins and whales up close, which was fantastic. The water was clear, and we were able to see many rare fish while snorkeling.

However, during the voyage (I'm not sure if the waves are always that high), there were incredibly high waves, and for nearly an hour, the speed and rocking made me feel like I might be thrown into the sea multiple times. I think it's better for those who are not good on boats to avoid this trip.

If you're young, confident in your physical abilities, and enjoy thrills, and can communicate in English to some extent, I believe you will have a great time.

両親と家族を連れて参加しました。
40名ほどの参加者のうち、日本人は私たちだけでした。
クルーはとてもフレンドリーですが、やはり船での注意事項や、スノーケルをする際の注意事項などすべて英語で説明されるので、グループの中で一人ぐらいは英語を話せる人がいないと不安だし、危険だと思います。
ナパリコーストは素晴しいし、ニイハウ島にも近くまで行けるし、イルカやクジラも近くで見れたのでとても良かったです。水もきれいで、スノーケルでも珍しい魚がたくさん見れました。
ただ、航海中は(いつもあんなに波が高いのかはわかりませんが)、ものすごい高波で何度も海に放り出されるのではないかと思う程のスピードと揺れが1時間近く続くので、船に弱い人は避けたほうが良いと思います。
若く、体力に自信があってスリルを楽しみたい人、更にある程度英語でコミュニケーションが取れる人でしたら、十分楽しめる内容だと思います。

ナ・パリ・コースト クルーズ 立ち入り禁止の聖域「ニイハウ島」沖でのシュノーケリング付き<朝食・ビュッフェ昼食付き/英語ガイド>

Snorkeling is the best!! シュノーケル最高!!

Reviewed by: となりのととろ

I participated in a sea cruise tour of the Na Pali Coast. During the snorkeling, we were able to snorkel in a spot with visibility of over 20 meters, where we got to see seals up close and a lot of fish. The waters around Kauai can be quite rough, but the staff did an excellent job with safety management. The snorkeling gear provided was clean and available in various sizes, so I felt secure while snorkeling. Additionally, we spotted a pod of dolphins about three times. It was great how they would slow down and show off when we approached them.

The Na Pali Coast itself is magnificent and truly breathtaking, but with our limited English skills, we struggled to understand the crew's explanations. I thought it would have been even more enjoyable if there had been more information available in Japanese online beforehand. However, at that moment, I was so blessed with good weather that I couldn't help but have a great time!

The meeting time was at 6 AM, which is a bit early, but the breakfast and lunch were delicious, so it was fine. There were also snacks and cookies provided along the way, and the restrooms were clean, so there was nothing to worry about. The other participants in the tour were mostly Americans (there were about 40 of them), and it was fun to chat a little with them.

ナパリコーストのシークルーズツアーに参加しました。
シュノーケルでは透明度が20m以上ありそうな場所でやらせてもらい、間近でアザラシが見れたり、お魚さんたちもいっぱい見れました。カウアイ島付近はとても波が荒いのですが、スタッフの方々が安全管理をバッチリしてくださるので、貸し出されたシュノーケルセットもきれいでサイズも多種そろえられているし、安心してシュノーケルすることができました。また、途中イルカの群れを3度ほど見れました。イルカの群れをいち早く発見し近づくとスピードを落としてサービスしてくれるのもいけていました。
ナパリコースと自体は、壮大で感動に値するものですが、私たちの英語力ではクルーの説明が理解できず、事前に日本語の説明がもう少しネットで見れたらもっと楽しめたかな、と思いました。が、そのときはそんなことを感じさせないくらい、天候にも恵まれ楽しくて仕方ありませんでしたけど!
当日は6時集合で少し早いですが、朝食も昼食もおいしいので大丈夫。途中、スナックやクッキーのサービスもあるし、トイレも清潔だし、困ることはなにもありません。ツアーに参加しているのは私たち以外ははアメリカ人で(40人はいたかな)、ちょっとおしゃべりできたりもして、それはそれで楽しかったです。

伝統ルアウ&フラ ハワイアンショー ハワイ伝統の神聖儀式イム鑑賞付き<ワイルア・マリーナ・ステート・パーク内/夕食付き>

The fire dance is impressive. ファイアーダンスは見応えあります。

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

From 5 PM, you can either ride the electric tram for an hour or take a walk to explore the garden. If you're short on time, you just need to arrive at the venue by 6 PM. I was really looking forward to the sacred ritual of 'imu' (digging up the pig), but it turned out to be just two men digging in the ground, which felt a bit underwhelming. Most of the participants seemed to be Westerners. There were many tour groups, and after the imu ceremony, we moved to the dining area. As expected, it was quite crowded, making it difficult to find a seat. Seats were reserved for tour guests, so individual customers had to find their own, and with so many foreigners around, I was worried I wouldn't be able to get a seat. Once seated, it was cocktail time, and drinks like Mai Tais were plentiful. Beer and various cocktails could be ordered at the counter for free. After that, we went in line to get buffet food, but I didn't understand the English instructions at all, so I mistakenly took food before it was my turn. During the meal, there was live band music, which was nice, but since we had to move to a different area for the luau, I felt I couldn't relax and ended up moving to the next venue early. This moving around was a hassle and felt unsettling. The luau lasted an hour and featured a stage with elaborate lighting. The concept was to dance from various countries across the Pacific and promote friendship, and there was even a Japanese dance, but for some reason, the song title was "Ka~rasu naze naku no~," which was quite puzzling for Japanese people. The final fire dance was spectacular, and I wished they had shown more of that. It felt more like watching a show rather than experiencing a traditional luau.

17時から1時間は電動トラムにのってもいいし、歩いてもガーデンを散策する時間で、時間がない方は18時までに会場にはいればいいかんじです。神聖な儀式のイム(豚を土から掘り出す)をけっこう楽しみにしてたんですが、ほんとに男の人2人で土を掘るだけで別になんだかなという感じでした。参加者はばっとみたかんじ欧米人が大半でした。ツアーの人が多く、イムセレモニーの後、食事をする場所に移動するのですが、さすがに人気と言うだけあって、人が多く、席をさがすのに大変でした。ツアーのお客さんように席がとってあって、個人客は自分で探さないといけないし、外人ばっかりで、席とれないかとおもいました。席につくと、カクテルタイムで、マイタイなどはもうふんだんに作っておいてあって、ビールと各種お好みのカクテルはカウンターで注文して(無料)飲めました。そのあと、列ごとにバイキングの食事をとりに行くのですが、英語の説明なんかまったくわかんなかったので、知らなくて、まだ自分の順番でないのに食事を取ってきてしまいました。食事中はバンドの生演奏があって、いいかんじだけど、ルアウの場所も食事の場所から移動しないといけないので、うかうか食べてられないと思い、早々に次の会場へ移動しました。この会場移動がめんどくさいし、落ち着きませんでした。ルアウは1時間あって、照明を多用したこったステージです。太平洋をはさんで、各国の踊りを踊って、みんな仲良くしようねと言うコンセプトがあって、日本の踊りもあったけど、なぜか曲名はカ~ラスなぜなくの~で、日本人からするとかなりはぁ?っていう内容でした。最後のファイアーダンスだけはすばらしくって、これをもっとみせてほしいなぁと思いました。ルアウをみるというよりショーを見る感じ。伝統的なルアウの内容ではありませんでした。
