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

Entertaining and silly

Reviewed by: Dee

The Smith's family is awesome and entertaining. Wear mosquito repellent when going, just a taught. They sing and entertain as you travel up the fern grotto and had us all doing the hoki pokie. We will be doing their luau too so we'll let you know how it goes!

Wailua River Kayak & Secret Falls Hike - Guided Kauai Adventure

Review of kayak and hike

Reviewed by: John

Overall I had fun. The trip is basically kayak for 2 miles, hike for 1 mile, visit a 100' water fall, and then hike back for 1 mile and then kayak for 2 miles. Since I like physical activity, this trip worked well for me.

Kayaking requires some physical work, and since there are 2 people per kayak, at last one should be in good physical shape.

Hiking was through lots of mud. You will cross streams, ankle deep mud, and will get dirty. Best to wear sandals since sneakers will be ruined. My youngest son loved this part (getting dirty is always fun).

Aloha John,

Thanks for taking the time and for your nice and constructive review on what to expect and what to bring.

If you don't like to paddle and hike this could be wrong tour for some.

Keep active...and thanks again.

A hui hou,

Micco

Kauai Mountain Tubing Adventure – Float Through Jungle Tunnels & Canals

Fun Family Activity - great guides

Reviewed by: kAT

We had a great time on this tour! For our group of 18ish people we had three guides that were constantly working hard to make sure we were having a good time, and being safe. This is not white water rafting- this is a float tube trip. So if you are expecting rapids and fast action, this is not it. We read several negative reviews regarding cancellations due to rain. Yep. I get it. It sucks. But there are points where you are traveling in tunnels, and if it rained too much - you won’t fit in the tunnel. Rain = higher water. We read other reviews about being separated from your party- yep- it happens, but if you ask any of the guides, they will help you join your friends. Our family had a really nice time.

We appreciated the ride up to view the grotto, which everyone visiting Kaua’i should see. The best part was the music! Made me thirsty!

I highly recommend the Smith boat ride without reservation.

Great Experience

Reviewed by: Jlt

This was an excellent way to explore the ocean without having experience in scuba diving. Kevin was patient, informative, and an overall great guide. My only advice is to consider the excursion before committing. The water can be a bit rough and there is a good deal of information to consider. My wife backed out at the last minute but she was also on the fence about going in the first place. My 15 and 11 year old had a great time as did I.

Wailua River Kayak & Secret Falls Hike - Guided Kauai Adventure

BEST DAY EVER!

Reviewed by: Renee

A beautiful, unique, and memorable experience. The guide was friendly and helpful, everyone was able to paddle up the river at their own pace, the river is lined with greenery, but the real treats were the hike along a gorgeous trail with amazing foliage and, of course, the waterfall. Swimming in the pool at the base of the waterfall and looking up at the water pouring over the cliff is an experience like no other. I went with my teenage daughter on a beautiful sunny day. There were no significant recent rains, so the trail was not muddy or slippery and the hike wasn't strenuous at all. I highly recommend this tour!

Aloha Renee,

Glad you enjoyed our Wailua River paddle and hike to the Sacred Falls with your daughter.

Yes it’s pretty classic and you gave a really nice review. Thanks for taking the time and until our trails cross.

Stay paddling and hiking.

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

Awesome ride & breathtaking waterfall!

Reviewed by: Missy W

My husband and I had an awesome time with our guides Joshua and Lumbo. They took us on a fun, wild-ride ATV adventure and told us some cool history about the Kipu Ranch, including details about Hollywood movies filmed there. One stop along the route included an opportunity to swing from a rope swing from the same tree (same tree, new rope) Harrison Ford used as Indiana Jones in the movie Raiders of the Lost Ark!

Another stop included a delicious lunch of sandwiches, fruit, chips, cookies, and water. I was impressed with the tablecloths and individually wrapped moist towels (actual towels) handed out to clean off all the dirt on our hands and face from our ride. It was also really interesting to chat with the guides about their lives on the island and pick their brains about Kipu Ranch trivia. Joshua just had his third child last week, and Lumbo has 6 kids!

Our final stop was at a picturesque waterfall where we were all able to swim to the waterfall!

Tips: Wear closed toed shoes you don’t mind swimming in because you must wear shoes in the water. Wear a swimsuit under your clothes if you want to swim at the waterfall or swing on the rope swing into the water. Bring a towel unless you don’t mind air drying. Also, your clothes will definitely get dirty! Keep a change of clothes in the car unless you don’t mind the dirt in your car. In case you’re wondering, the water is definitely cold.

A nice bonus is that the company gives you complementary bandannas to wear over your nose and mouth to keep the dirt out. The bandanna serves as a cool souvenir afterwards! Also, one of our guides, Joshua, was especially gifted at taking cell phone pictures. If you luck out with him as your guide, let him take your pictures!

  • Waterfall you get to swim in!

25th Anniversary Trip

This was an amazing tour!!! A first for us both and would do it again in a heartbeat!!! We had Guy as our pilot and he was amazing!! He knew so much about the island we had a hard time finding questions to ask. This is a must when you come to Kauai. This company is great as well. The only thing that happened was our video didn't get us landing but the staff did discount our video and I had videotaped our landing so we did get a bit of it though. We went with another couple ad they enjoyed it as well.

This was an amazing tour of he Napali Coast. The crew was phenomenal! They were so personable and knowledgeable. They were very attentive to our kids and kept everyone engaged and excited. The captain steered the boat with precision allowing us to get into small cave openings and over large waves.

Bring non-spray sunscreen and a hat that won’t blow off since it gets very windy. We took motion sickness pills prior to the trip which really helped.

The views were breathtaking! Highly 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>

A fun time with a friendly crew. 親切なクルーによる楽しい時間

Reviewed by: makikoe

The meeting at the Port Allen office was scheduled for 3:00 PM, but I parked a bit early at 2:30 PM in the parking lot behind the "Holo Holo Charters" sign in the back of the building. There were quite a few cars, so it was good that I arrived early to park.

Before the meeting, I checked in at the office. I signed the "consent form" on a touch panel and wandered around the nearby shops until the meeting time. The restroom is located behind the office.

When it was time, we gathered in the square in front of the office, and the captain called out names, to which we responded. After roll call, we headed to the port. Before boarding, we took off our shoes and placed them in a shoe bin to go barefoot. It was a good decision to wear flip-flops.

Those who boarded early went to the back of the boat. We didn't make it in time and ended up sitting at a table inside, but it turned out to be convenient during the meal. We could move around during the trip and enjoy the scenery.

As soon as we set off, we were served alcohol, soft drinks, crackers, and cheese. We moved quickly towards the Na Pali Coast. The view of the Na Pali Coast from the boat was breathtaking!

On the way back, we had dinner (tacos) and were also given cookies. (Some people put their cookies in a paper plate and Ziploc bag to take home.) Throughout the trip, drinks were available for free. There were also two restrooms, so it was comfortable to drink.

Although we didn't see any dolphins, we were lucky to spot whales a few times even though it was May. The sunset that day was truly wonderful, with no clouds to obstruct the view.

It became a great memory of Kauai. We returned to the port around 7:30 PM after about four hours on the water. Since the boat was constantly moving, I think those who are prone to seasickness should take medication.

The inside of the boat with a roof wasn't cold, but since it was moving, I recommend bringing a light windbreaker to enjoy the view. Some people might also need sunscreen.

We were the only Japanese people on board, and everything was in English, but the two crew members were very kind, and the service was excellent, making for a really enjoyable time.
