Kauai ATV Waterfall Tour at Kipu Ranch - Off-Road 3-Hour Expedition

Fun Experience

Reviewed by: kim

This was a fun day. Our tour guides were nice and friendly. We took in some extra scenery we wouldn't have been able to see. One of the waterfalls has a trail leading behind it, so it was nice to be able to go behind it.

Never having been to a luau before, I didn't know what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised by the grounds. It's really pretty and picturesque. The host is always smiling and makes you feel welcomed. With the food being delicious and great entertainment, it was an awesome evening. Worth spending the money.

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

Great experience!

Reviewed by: Courtney

Snuba diving was the best!! Kevin and Shawn were our instructors and they were so much fun! I'm scuba certified and and my best friend has only snorkeled, and snuba was so easy to do. I would absolutely do it again. I did however wish we could go deeper but you share a tank so you're limited to air. It was still a great experience and I'm really glad I did it!

Deluxe Na Pali Experience Snorkel Tour, Breakfast & Lunch - Holo Holo Charters

Sail Away

Reviewed by: Reid Family

This tour had two main components. The first was the actual experience of sailing on the ocean. This was fantastic! Most of us loved the waves and wind, while a couple not so much. The crew were attentive and kind to our seasick companions. We listened to our competent crew tell stories, and share their knowledge. Lunch was outstanding. Fresh salads, make your own sandwich, and homemade cookies for dessert.
The second part is seeing the Na Pali shoreline, which we were unable to do so due to the great swells in the North. Despite this, it was still a neat experience to see the same areas on the South shore that we had visited by land. We were able to see whales.
Snorkeling was not the best I have done, but we did have a sea turtle swim under us. We had to stop in an area that was not the usual, due to the windy weather, and this may have been a factor.
Overall, this was a very good experience with a competent crew, enjoyable scenery and good food.

Wailua River Kayak & Secret Falls Hike - Guided Kauai Adventure

Reids were 'Reid-y' for anything!

Reviewed by: Reid Family

Our day for this adventure was sunny and warm. The ten of us were excited to get underway and see the secret waterfall hidden amongst the trees.
The kayaks we were given were ocean kayaks and were very comfortable and easy to use.
After a very muddy hike, the cool clean water of the pool by the beautiful waterfall was very much appreciated. The hike was much muddier than expected, and at times we were slogging through muddy puddles where we could not see our feet. It was dangerous at times. Perhaps a little more preparation for those participating would be beneficial. The guides are used to the conditions and may forget that us regular folk from snow country may not be as accustomed to mud and such.

Our guide was well-versed in the natural plants, and even made us bracelets from the leaves of a tree. He was patient, and very knowledgeable.
Lunch was good and nutritious, and we were all hungry by the time we got to the waterfall.
We would do this trek again, but might check in first to see what the mud factor is!

Wailua River Kayak, Rainforest Hike & Waterfall Swim Adventure with Lunch

Muddy trek

Reviewed by: newbie to scuba

We kayaked and then hiked to the waterfall where we ate lunch.
The only bad part was that it had been raining the past few days and the road was muddy. My shoes were completely muddy and others chose to just walk bare feet in the muddy road. I think I will stay with beach activities since I can hike the Shenandoah back home. FYI- There were roosters and chickens even at the waterfall.

Wailua River Kayak, Rainforest Hike & Waterfall Swim Adventure with Lunch

The hike into hell

Reviewed by: JnJtucson

This excursion should never have happened. The first part, the paddle upriver was fine, but that's where the fun stopped. Due to the recent rain activity, the normally treacherous, 2 foot wide path to the falls was turned into a muddy,ankle busting,obstacle course. Even when it is dry, this path is just barely navigable. Several people on our tour fell down and slipped into the mud,which pretty much covered the trail. We had to cross the river a couple of times, which normally would have been a fun experience, but it turned into a survival contest for many of us. Once we got to the falls, there was nowhere to sit comfortably to eat the lunch, which we had to backpack in from the kayaks. There are rocks all around the pool formed by the falls, but you have to pick your way through them, holding on to something all the way. While the falls is cute and right out of a Hollywood TV show, it is, in my estimation, not worth the trouble and cost to see it. I suggest that this trip be left to younger, childless couples in their 20,s or 30,s, if they really need to pick their way through tree roots and rocks for 2 miles. If you have youngsters, think again about this trip. If you're over 50, forgetaboutit!!
The guide was great and tried to help as much as possible, but I think he should have called off the trip due to the rains. Someone should have gone up the trail early enough to warn everyone of the conditions. Had there been another way down from the falls, I would have paid anything not to go back through the muddy hell that we endured on the way up. I guess that some tourist companies will do anything for money, especailly when it is ours. I cannot recommend this activity to anyone until the path is fixed. This activity should be labeled "moderate to hard". Lastly, should you think that this is the raving of a wimp, I am a former Special Forces, Vietnam vet who has slogged through the worst jungles in the world and survived. This one gave me a good test.

Tour and food were spectacular! Our teen said the teriyaki beef was the best thing ever.

The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because of the length of the dancing show. The show is after the all you can eat buffet. Full bellies and tranquil music made us so sleepy! We had plans to go shoot pool afterwards, but scrapped those plans to sleep.

Severe seasickness 激しい船酔い

Reviewed by: yuka

The day I originally booked was canceled due to bad weather, so I rescheduled for two days later. Even then, the wind was strong, and I got seasick. Many people were suffering. I couldn't enjoy the beautiful cliffs as much as I had hoped. However, the snorkeling was great; the water was warm, and I had fun. There were big sea urchins. It was a shame I couldn't drink beer since we drove to the meeting point. On the way back, there’s a supermarket nearby, so that might be interesting.

当初申し込んでいた日は天候不良で中止。２日後に変更しました。
それでも風が強く、船酔いしました。

大きなうにがいました。

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＞

It was fun! But it might be difficult if you don't understand English. 楽しかった！でも英語が分からないと難しいかも。

Reviewed by: サリー

I had wanted to participate in this tour since I saw a scene in a TV program introducing Kauai Island where people floated down an old irrigation canal in tubes. The tour is conducted entirely in English, so I think it would be tough if you don't understand English to some extent (we were the only Japanese couple).

Here’s the flow of the tour:

1) We gathered 30 minutes before the tour start time. There is no pick-up service. We moved by rental car, but it was surprisingly far from the Poipu area where our hotel was, and we ended up being about 10 minutes late.

2) Upon gathering at the office, we were first given a waiver. It was double-sided and entirely in English; the front stated something like "Participation is at your own risk," and the back had several confirmation items such as "It's okay to be in the water for 45 minutes" and "It's okay to be in a dark place for 15 minutes."

3) After completing the waiver, we weighed ourselves to determine the size of the tube.

4) After that, we received helmets and gloves.

This concludes the procedures at the office. After this, we took a van to the point. There were about 20 participants during our time, and we split into two vans. Inside the van, they explained the history of Kauai Island and the sugarcane fields, and we introduced ourselves. Also, we made a photo stop at a scenic spot, so I think the travel time in the van was about 30 minutes.

Upon arrival at the point, we listened to some simple instructions, and then we floated down the irrigation canal in tubes for about 45 minutes. There were instructors present, and we just let ourselves be carried by the flow of the water.

After the tour ended, we got back in the van and moved to a lunch spot. Lunch consisted of pita sandwiches, chips, cookies, and water. After finishing lunch, we returned to the office by van and then dispersed.

When participating, the water is quite cold, so I think it’s better to wear a T-shirt or something on top. Also, it goes without saying, but there are no restrooms while floating in the tube, so please make sure to use the facilities at the office before moving (my backside got quite cold). There are portable toilets at the lunch spot.

You can enjoy nature as well, so if you visit Kauai Island, I definitely encourage everyone to give it a try!

以前、カウアイ島を紹介するＴＶ番組で「サトウキビ畑の旧用水路をチューブで流れる」というシーンを見てから、カウアイ島に行くならばこのツアーに参加したいと思っていました。なお、ツアーはすべて英語ですので、ある程度英語が理解出来ないとキツイと思います（日本人は私たち夫婦のみでした）。以下はツアーの流れです。

１）ツアー開始時間の30分前に集合です。送迎はありません。私たちはレンタカーで移動をしましたが、ホテルのあるポイプ地区からは意外と遠く、10分ほど遅刻をしてしまいました。

２）事務所に集合をすると、まずは誓約書が渡されます。両面、かつすべて英語ですが、表面は「参加に際しては自己責任です」といった内容、裏面は「45分間水に入っていても大丈夫」「15分間暗い所に入っても大丈夫」といった確認項目がいくつか書いてありました。

３）誓約書が書き終わったら体重を量ります。チューブのサイズを決めるようです。

４)その後、ヘルメットと手袋を受け取ります。

ここまでが事務所での手続きです。この後バンに乗ってポイントに移動します。私たちの時は参加者は20名ほどで、2台のバンに分かれて行きました。車内ではカウアイ島やサトウキビ畑の歴史を説明してくれたり、自己紹介を行ったりしました。また、途中、景色の良い所で写真ストップをしますので、バンでの移動時間は30分ほどだったと思います。

ポイントに到着したら、簡単な注意事項を聞き、その後約45分かけてチューブで浮かびながら用水路を流れていきます。インストラクターの方もいますし、水の流れに身を任せるだけです。

ツアーが終了したら再びバンに乗り、今度はランチスポットに移動をします。ランチはピタパンサンド、ポテチ、クッキー、水など。ランチを食べ終わったら、バンで事務所まで戻り、そのまま解散となります。

参加をされる際、水は冷ためですので、上にＴシャツなどを着ていた方がいいと思います。また、当たり前ですが、チューブで浮かんでいる間はトイレがありませんので、移動前に必ず事務所で済ませて下さい（お尻はだいぶ冷えました）。ランチスポットには簡易トイレが設置されています。

自然も満喫出来ますし、カウアイ島に行かれた際はぜひみなさんもチャレンジしてみて下さいね！
