Kauai Sunset Cruise with Open Bar - Ocean & River Boat Tour from Lihue

Relaxing Ride

Reviewed by: Gayle

There were four of us that did this cruise together. It was very relaxing and beautiful scenery the Caption Louie and first mate / bartender Jason were very personable and knowledgeable. They had a good variety of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks that were served freely during the whole cruise. I would recommend this cruise however keep in mind they only go down the river and in the bay. They do not go along the coastline. If you are looking for smooth and relaxing river boat ride then you would enjoy this cruise.

Kauai Sunset Cruise with Open Bar - Ocean & River Boat Tour from Lihue

Perfect evening!

Reviewed by: S.Porta

We had a group of 4 people and it was a small group on board. The boat is clean and beautiful. Louis our Captain,was very knowledgeable about the history and pointed out very cool sites along the way down the river.
Jason,his crew member was very friendly and made excellent cocktails!! Both guys made our trip memorable and the beauty of Kauai was amazing. The instructions on the description through this website were a little confusing We thought we had a shore entry. They actually drive you from the Check in spot to the port. Just a few minutes away. No big deal. But a little confusing. Would definitely recommend.

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。

I'm excited but unsure about the route ahead. 先のルートがわからないドキドキ

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.

この先どんなルートなのかわからないアスレチックアドベンチャーのようなわくわくドキドキが続きます。
水の流れ等により、パートナーとはぐれてしまい、外国人に囲まれてしまうと、ちょっと寂しいけど、みんな笑顔で楽しんでいます。

Wailua River Kayak & Secret Falls Hike - Guided Kauai Adventure

Great family experience!

Reviewed by: Mike E.

This was a great experience for my wife, our 16-year old daughter and me! And our guide, Tyler, was extremely helpful, friendly and knowledgeable about the area and the various interesting things we experienced along the river and the trail leading up to the waterfall. We highly recommend this excursion to anyone visiting Kauai!

Yes, the trail is muddy, but you just have to, in Tyler's words, "Embrace the mud" and not worry about it and your experience will be much enhanced. And the falls at the end were magnificent -- my daughter and I swam up to the base of them and the winds had spray had to be hurricane-force.

My only advice is to book the early-morning tours, before the crowds begin showing up. That way, you will have the trail (and the falls) mostly to yourself, and the mud won't be as bad.

This was a great experience and is highly recommended. Thanks Tyler!

Reply from activity provider

Aloha Mike,

Nice review and correct, if you come with the mind set that it will be muddy, you will have better time.

We are blessed to have Tyler working with us.

Morning tours are definitely nice, but ending the day on the river is not too shabby either.

Thanks for sharing and thanks for making it possible and for your kind words.

A hui hou,

Micco

Snuba Tours of Kauai | Small-Group Guided Beach SNUBA Diving Tour at Lawai Beach

Great experience with kids

Reviewed by: Steve

We had a great time doing this. The guys were super friendly and relaxed and nice. My brother and I had some experience with scuba, but our kids--ages 16, 13 and 11--did not. It was a quick orientation and we were in the water. We walked right in off the beach. The kids did great. My son had a little trouble being comfortable breathing through a regulator, but still enjoyed it. He just stayed up closer to the surface. The other two had no difficulty with it at all. I was actually surprised at all the different fish we saw. It's not like you're swimming with hundreds of fish all around you, but that's just not available in an outing like this. But it was a great experience that all of us enjoyed and it didn't have to be an all-day commitment.

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.

ヘリコプター遊覧飛行 ワイメア渓谷&ナ・パリ・コースト&ハナレイ湾 <英語ガイド/リフエ空港>

Maybe my expectations were too high... 期待が大きかったのかも…

Reviewed by: あしか

As everyone has mentioned, the commentary was in English, so I think I could have enjoyed it more if I understood it. It was a good experience, but the price was high. The footage I saw on TV from a helicopter was amazing, so I felt it was either as I imagined or even below that. After experiencing it once, I think I'm good. I now wonder if it would have been more thrilling to ride in a helicopter without doors.

皆さん書いていた通り、解説が英語なので、わかればもっと楽しめたのかと思います。
いい体験ではありましたが、金額が高い。
以前テレビで見たヘリコプターからの映像が素晴らしかったので、想像していた通りかそれ以下だと思ってしまいました。
一回体験したらもういいかな。
ドアなしのヘリコプターに乗れば迫力あったのかも、と今は思っています。

  • 中はこんな感じで全く怖くないです。

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!
