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

Amazing views and wonderful crew

Reviewed by: Tony & Bianca

I spent a consideral amount of time researching some of the different options for sight seeing tours of the Napali Coast and found this to have the best reviews and all of them were 100% accurate. My girlfriend and I had been very active on our trip to Kauai up to this point and looked to this as a relaxing evening which it was. The Caiptain (his name escapes me) was very funny throughout the trip making sure to update us when we were near items of interest and was also a very skilled navigator, at one point situating the stern of the boat under a waterfall for people who wanted to go under it.

The two deck hands (I am not sure the proper title) were very attentive to all of the guests aboard throughout the entire trip. I forget the gentelmens name that I spoke with but he stood with me for some time explaining to me much of the history of the Napali Coast as well as what it has been like growing up on the Island which made my experience even better. The crew does whatever it takes to make sure you have the best experience possible and my tip to you is to tip them accordingly, they do a great job and deserve it!

I highly recommend this to anyone interested in having an informative relaxing experience. Also, the food was very good and the crew made sure that you always had a drink in your hand.

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

Fern Grotto

Reviewed by: Eoka

We enjoyed the lush surroundings, however, it cannot compare to our previous trip which was many years ago. At that time we were able to actually walk into the Fern Grotto and listen to the singers in the grotto. We did enjoy the entertainment on our return trip back to the dock.

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

I want to do it again!

Reviewed by: Kayla

Got sort of lost looking for the place. We thought we were looking for a building but it's actually a white van. Other than that the crew was great. We had Thomas and another man (sorry forgot his name) but they were understanding and helpful. Our family and friends loved it. It was the highlight of my trip. Can't wait to come back one day to Kauai.

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>

Enjoying a relaxing time. 楽しくのんびり

Reviewed by: sada

We were able to reach the meeting point smoothly by rental car. As expected, we were the only Japanese couple there. During the ride in the Jeep, we had a brief introduction and it was fun to chat in broken Japanese. There was a guide as we walked to the waterway. We just floated down the waterway on large tubes, but there was a tunnel along the way where we turned on our helmet lights and floated through. While it wasn't thrilling, it was enjoyable to just float along with the current, which was a unique experience.

集合場所まではレンタカーですんなり行けました。
やはり、日本人は私達夫婦だけでした。ジープで移動中自己紹介的なことがありカタコトで話楽しかったです。水路に行くまで歩いてガイドもありました。大きなチューブに乗りぷかぷかと水路を浮いて下るだけですが、途中トンネルがありヘルメットのライトをつけて浮いていきました。スリル的なことはないですが、ぷかぷかと流れに任せるのも変わっていて、楽しかったです。

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

Luau

Reviewed by: redrobin

My thought was that a Luau was supposed to take place while eating the wonderful buffet food. At this Luau we sat down at long tables and did enjoy a delicious buffet. However, then we had to move to another location where they had bleacher seating, which was extremely uncomfortable. The show itself was just ok as it did not have a lot of spectacular associated with it. There was only one guy who did an act with fire. Most of it was just basic hula dancing and not what I would have expected. VERY uncomfortable seating and MEDIOCRE dancing. I would not recommend this Luau to any of my friends are family who may wish to visit Hawaii.

I was however pleased with Veltra tours and the professionalism and the call I received for verification of activities. Thank You.

I was disappointed. I had been there about 4 years ago and the Fern Grotto was beautiful with lots of beautiful flowers to look at. It was so over grown you could hardly see the water fall. I also felt rushed, no time to admire the flowers that were there. I would not recommend this.

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

Excellent!

Reviewed by: Kristin M

Smith's Luau was fantastic. As we entered, we took the tram ride around the grounds, during which we heard an excellent overview of information. We then had enough time to wander back through and read placards or take pictures of the beautiful scenery. Hearing about the imo and the roasted pig was really informative. The food at the luau was DELICIOUS! Especially the kalua pig. Yum! The show was also very good. Overall, a fantastic night. Highly recommended.

An exciting outing for family and adults!

Reviewed by: Portland, OR Couple

This adventure of 8 lines was so exciting. I am terrified of heights, but was committed to trying this very safe yet thrilling experience. The guides were patient with me and reassured me that my harness was surely affixed. The sights are spectacular -- filled with the thick greenery of tree tops and the clear blue sky of Kaua'i.

Note: there is a bit of uphill walking that is required to reach each of the launch platforms.

Hanalei River and Blue Lagoon Kayaking & Guided Snorkeling Tour - Kayak Kauai

Jessie was the BEST tour guide. The ultimate professional and extremely personalable.

Reviewed by: Portland, OR Couple

What more can we say? Jessie made our kayak tour the most exciting part of our Kaua'i vacation. He's 100% passionate about the island & maintaining it's splendor. Jessie know the island flora & fauna, as well as very interesting tidbits about the history. He is also an excellent kayaker, who remained calm throughout our outing. One of the 3 couples in our party had their kayak turn over and the wife, a non-swimmer panicked. Jessie made sure all were safe with life preservers securely fastened, despite the slight "adventure." This tour is worth doing again, and again. Thanks Jessie!
