Amazing tubing adventure

Reviewed by: Sean Alferink , 2023/10/01

First and foremost very welcoming, definitely worth the price. My main tour guide Mason was the best ever as well as our safteys Megan and Ben. I was entertaining as can be. And the other people in my group were so nice. Great time would definitely recommend.

空からのカウアイ

Reviewed by: モアナ, 2023/09/30

5年前にクルーズでナパリコーストを見ましたが
主人のたっての希望でヘリコプターツアーに参加しました
乗る前の安全ビデオも日本語字幕で理解できました
不安な点が2つ、乗り物酔いと早口英語での解説、でしたが全く
問題無し
一応酔い止めは飲みましたが、とてもスムーズで揺れもなく快適、なにより
あまりに素晴らしい景色で酔う暇無いです
そしてさらに良かったのがパイロットの方が流暢な日本語でお話しして下さいました、日本人は私達だけて他は本土からの方々でしたが
通訳していだたき参加している皆んなフレンドリーな感じに包まれました。
お値段だけの価値はある素晴らしいツアーでした

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

Relaxing, Beautiful Boat tour

Reviewed by: Sean L., 2023/09/25

We were looking for a shorter boat tour on Kauai because we can’t deal with being on a boat for too long, and I’m glad we found this one. It was a smooth and relaxing ride, lead by some friendly guys. They narrated the tour with information and trivia about the island. We enjoyed a beautiful sunset over the river and views of the mountains. I recommend this tour if you want a sunset boat tour that doesn’t take up all your time and avoids any risk of seasickness. Drinks included!

Ultimate Kauai Private Island Tour with Expert Guide

A Wonderful Experience and Way to See Kauai

Reviewed by: California tourists , 2023/09/25

Kevin picked us up at our hotel on time and spent the day showing us the west and south sides of Kauai. He gave us lessons in pronouncing Hawaiian words, the geology of Kauai, and history of Kauai, while driving from viewpoint to viewpoint. He was sensitive to what we were interested in and what types of food we wanted for lunch. We were impressed that he understood the weather patterns, kept a constant watch on the clouds, and was able to get us to the Waimea Canyon and Na Pali coast viewpoints at times when we could see the views.

We had a most enjoyable day and would highly recommend tour guide Kevin and The Ultimate Kauai Private Island Tour - South and West tour.

  • South Coast

  • Viewpoint of North Shore

  • Waimea Canyon

Smith's Family Garden Luau - Polynesian & Fire Show, Dinner and Open Bar

Absolutely Top-Notch Experience and Loving Staff

Reviewed by: Cameron Immesoete, 2023/09/23

I've been fortunate to attend somewhere between 10 and 12 different Lu'aus, mostly in O'ahu, Kaua'i, Maui, and Hawai'i. Our experience at Smith's was superior for the following reasons:

1. Atmosphere and ambience: the Garden is absolutely beautiful, and few lu'aus have an ambience like this. Another good one for this to be fair is the Polynesian Cultural Center Lu'au.
2. Authenticity: the Polynesian & Fire Show, and other traditions (like pulling the pig from the earth) encompassed in the lu'au, were top-notch and very well-executed.
3. The Food & Drinks: a greater variety, quantity, and quality of food & drinks were offered here versus any other lu'au I've attended. There were two times as many food choices, and thanks to the buffet style, you can feast on them all.
4. The Staff: the staff here is so genuinely kind. My fiancee and I biked a few miles over to this lu'au and we had to bike back in the dark. Our hostess ran to her car and gave us some headlamps! It was so kind of her. We're really grateful for the Smith Family team.

Thank you all very much. I highly, highly, highly recommend.

Smith's Family Garden Luau - Polynesian & Fire Show, Dinner and Open Bar

Must do in Kauai!!

Reviewed by: Sabra , 2023/09/21

This luau is informing and very exciting! They talk a lot about the past of Kauai and ancestral history. Price point at only $25 (without dinner) is absolutely great, especially for families with little ones. Handicap seating is available. Main seating area is at a slant so if you want to sit towards the bottom (closer) come early. My 1 year old even loved it and was clapping. Attire is Hawaiian style and it’s wonderful to see all the cool outfits. Bathrooms are close by and water is provided. I felt it ran a bit short this time compared to last year but it was still super amazing and would 100% go again.

Kauai Backcountry Adventures Mountain Tubing Tour with Lunch

Bubu’s Amazing Tour

Reviewed by: Alexis, 2023/09/17

We booked the Tubing Tour as a part of our honeymoon, and had an amazing time. Our tour guide was Bubu, and she was knowledgeable and helpful about the history of Kaua’i as well as giving us helpful suggestions on where to go while we were here. The tour itself started with a bus ride through the Kaua’i scenery while Bubu entertained us with interesting facts and stories.

Liko Kauai Snorkel Cruises - Na Pali Coast Boat Tour & Sea Cave Adventure

It was nice, wish the snorkeling was better

Reviewed by: bkst, 2023/09/17

Counted on this boat tour for good snorkeling and did not get it at all even though waters were calm at the time of day we snorkeled. Co-captain agreed that captain could have picked a better spot for snorkeling. Decently long boat ride to get to Na Pali Coast. Boat tour was cut short by almost an hour (not sure why, but honestly it would have dragged on if it wasn't cut short). Other than those things, it was nice seeing the scenic coast and we saw turtles and dancing dolphins.

Kauai Backcountry Adventures Mountain Tubing Tour with Lunch

I did a lot of excursions on Kauai, and this is in my top 2

Reviewed by: BKST, 2023/09/17

I probably experienced this excursion in the one of the worst ways possible: it was overcast and rainy, it had torrential downpoured right when we arrived at the canal, I was just wearing a one-piece bathing suit (no shorts or sleeves), I'm a freeze baby, the tour guide wasn't too friendly (probably because he was called into work last minute), but despite all those things, I TRULY LOVE AND HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS ACTIVITY! I was really nervous I would be cold, but I was comfortable the whole time. Just my butt touched the water unless my husband splashed me lol. The downpour didn't last long either and the majority of the ride was under tunnels. The ride was so much fun. Our tubes sort of acted like bumper cars as the water pushed us this a way and that a way. Not only was it a fun ride, the number 1 reason why I love this activity is because it isn't just a lazy river or crazy river manmade for the purpose of tourism. The canal and tunnels were made in the late 1800s for the sugar cane plantations (now defunct). (Tunnels are checked every year ensuring safe operation!) I think it is a great way to optimize a resource that no longer has its original purpose. Of the paid excursions I did in Kauai (boat tour, helicopter tour, hula show, spiderman/superman ziplining), this mountain tubing excursion is in my TOP 2 MUST DOs.

Luau Kalamaku - Kauai Polynesian Show with Hula & Fire Dancers

Luau (not on a beach)

Reviewed by: Colorado, 2023/09/16

Entertainment was great! Everyone was very nice. Pictures were awesome. It was not all you could eat and drink. The food was cafeteria style and put away before we could get seconds. Desert was basic. Not at all what we expected at a luau.

Where is the pig on a spit?? Fresh fruits and vegetables from the island?

Definitely should’ve done more research before attending a Luau. If you want a Beach Luau, this is not the one for you. If you wanna plantation in Luau, where the people are friendly, and the food is average, this is your place!

Smith's Kauai Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto with Live Entertainment

Way too crowded

Reviewed by: TravelerT, 2023/09/13

I was expecting to "be at one with nature" but there were so many people. We took a short walk up the path, which was beautiful but no time to stop & appreciate it or take photos. Then, when reaching to grotto, it was so crowded, there are other people in all the photos. You don't actually go into the fern grotto, you see it from a short distance. We were told we could take photos on the way down, but the path is narrow and there's the huge line of people behind you so you can't stop. The river ride was nice, but the entertainment took away from the peacefulness of the ride.

Need to know…wearing a spf shirt would have been a good idea! Having salty crackers for upset stomach would have helped.

The captain surprised us by taking the boat into a small area so that we could see the entirety of amazing cave. Very cool!

Ultimate Kauai Private Island Tour with Expert Guide

It struggled to be too comprehensive.

Reviewed by: John, 2023/09/09

My wife and I had taken guided tours before mainly in the Carribean. On those tours, we stopped for various activities: touring a ruin, lunch on the beach, and a hike through a rainforest. Our guide, Kevin, did an excellent job trying to show us everything (and finding restrooms). The fault was not in the guide but in the attempted scope of the tour. It was six hours of driving and stopping for photos and then more driving. For instance, there were two waterfalls on the tour: One (twin falls) in the great distance and the other along the roadside (blink and you would miss it). It would be better if we could be taken to the trailhead and allowed to hike close to the falls. Or maybe with some preplanning, we could have swum at one of the beaches we stopped at. Although my wife and I are in our 60s and 70s, we are both very active. It was an introduction to the Island but we were exhausted at the end of the six hours.

The perfect activity to do on one of your getaway days, was so great to learn the history, and the challenges of the locals with survival on just daily living, on Kauai.
Was so good to be out on a very nice boat, but even better to be out with a captain and crew with great positive energy!! Took my 16 yo,14yo,7yo with and we all had a great time with great memories!, even had dolphins ride the wake of the boat for a bit!

Fern Grotto boat tour

Reviewed by: Debbie, 2023/09/05

Beautiful river excursion; would have loved more time and not so rushed at the Grotto. One song seemed lame. Wanted time to take pictures of foliage on way down. Definitely would not recommend for wheelchair guests. It was steep and pavement unfriendly to wheelchair wheels and very steep and slippery incline uphill.
Entertainment on way back was very fun and good.
