Kipu Safari Adventure - Zipline, Hike, Kayak & Waterfall Swim with Lunch

An amazing collection of activities!

Reviewed by: Carolyn

There was a mixup with our reservation. We reserved through Veltra for a Thursday. Veltra confirmed that it was for Thursday. We showed up and no one was there. We called Kauai Outfitters who let us know that we were on the books for Friday. I contacted Veltra afterwards and they apologized and offered a partial refund, which I appreciate. I would suggest calling Kauai Outfitters to double check that the dates are right, to be on the safe side.

We went back on Friday and had a great time. The guides were wonderful. The tour was great. The zip line was so amazing. We were bitten by mosquitoes, so bring bug spray. We were in a small group of 10 people and 4 guides, so it was a personalized experience and we had tons of time to talk to the guides. We would definitely do another tour with Kauai Outfitters.

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

Early Bird Gets the Best Tour!

Reviewed by: Annette

Who could pass up a tradition of Hawaiian tourism that has been in operation since 1947?! The Smith family was awesome. They were very friendly and kind. We were fortunate to be on the first boat of the day and in a small group. The morning was cool yet very comfortable. While we waited for our tour to start, the on-board talented trio of musicians were taking requests, joking and visiting with the passengers. Once on the river, the captain gave us an overview of the points of interests along the way as we passed stand-up-paddle boarders and kayakers enjoying the quiet river too. We were treated to a beautiful hula demonstration, native music and an improv hula lesson! After a short walk to the grotto, our "guide" explained some of the history and folk lore about the grotto, afterwards, they sang the Hawaiian Wedding song to us. It would be fun to go back again!

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>

It feels like catching a glimpse of the primordial Earth, and it's wonderful. 原始地球を垣間見るようで、素晴らしい

Reviewed by: Y753

The view of the remote ocean that can only be seen from the sky is unique to helicopters. It feels like catching a glimpse of the primordial Earth, and it's wonderful.

Unfortunately, I ended up sitting on the inside of the back seat, but the person in the front row was almost in a tank top, so their skin reflected on the glass and appeared in all my photos. I would appreciate it if the front row passengers could be given black jackets, as other companies do, for consideration.

空からでないと見られない絶海はヘリならでは。
原始地球を垣間見たようで、素晴らしい。

運悪く後部座席の中側になってしまったが、前列の人がタンクトップに近い状態だったので、肌がガラスに反射して全ての写真に写り込んだ。前列の人には、他社が行っているように、黒色のジャケットを着せるなど、配慮が欲しい。

シダの洞窟 観光遊覧船 ハワイ唯一の航行可能な川を行く!<英語ガイド/半日>

It's irresistible for hula dance lovers. フラダンス好きにはたまらない

Reviewed by: Y・千鶴子

In front of the cave of the ferns, I was able to see a Hawaiian wedding song and a solemn hula dance. On the return boat, there were five Japanese people, so they provided a service of Japanese songs and performed hula dances. At the end, everyone had a hula lesson, and we all danced together in the small boat. I was really into the song we learned! It was a satisfying tour!

シダの洞窟前で、ハワイアンウェディングの歌と、厳かなフラダンスを
見る事が出来ました。そして、帰りの舟の中では ウクレレや日本人が5名いたので日本の歌のサービス、フラダンスを踊ってくれたのです、最後は全員にフラのレッスン、みんなで狭い舟中で踊りました。習った曲だった私はノリノリ!満足!のツアーでした。

Kauai Mountain Tubing Adventure – Float Through Jungle Tunnels & Canals

Great Adventure

Reviewed by: David & Family

Highly recommend this tubing adventure. Our guides Johnny and Kai were amazing story tellers and hosts. For a 71 year old husband and wife and family of 20 and 30 year old's this was one of the high lights of our trip on Kauai. We were also surprised and was the rest of the tour group to have witnessed the long fabled Ditch Monster. Fleeting it was but seen non the less. The picnic at the end, while short in duration was a good end to the adventure.

This wasn't nearly as exciting as I had hoped. I wanted it to be more energetic and intense, but it was actually very calm and relaxing. Our guide Lucky was absolutely terrific! The staff was fun, I really enjoyed everything they told us about the island, they were very knowledgeable and helpful.

Wailua River Kayak & Secret Falls Hike - Guided Kauai Adventure

Great time!

Reviewed by: Trevor

The kayaking part was nice, not too difficult. The hike was a nice hike, not quite a casual walk down a straight path but also not too difficult. I enjoyed having our guide Jesse there to explain things to us as we hiked, he was a good guide. He got stuck talking to just one individual of our group a few times and it was hard to hear what he was saying sometimes. The waterfall was nice, there were a lot of boulders in the water so be careful! Lots of other people from other tours on the same path made it a bit crowded.

Na Pali Coast Sunset Cruise with Dinner ナ・パリ・コースト サンセットクルーズ ディナー付

Reviewed by: T.SAKAZAKI

I thoroughly enjoyed the Na Pali Coast Sunset Cruise. We boarded in the afternoon, and the weather was perfect with no wind, making for ideal conditions as we set sail!

Along the way, we encountered a pod of dolphins that came right under the boat. We also spotted a whale in the distance. As we approached the Na Pali Coast, the stunning cliffs came into view, and I was in awe of the natural scenery. The dinner on the boat on the way back was also fantastic!

Just before we arrived at the harbor, the sunset behind the boat was breathtaking. I highly recommend experiencing this and enjoying the beauty of nature!

ナ・パリ・コーストサンセットクルーズを満喫しました。午後からの乗船で天候もよく風もなくて絶好のコンディションでいざ出港!
途中でイルカの群れに遭遇して船の下までやって来ました。少し遠くでしたが、クジラも見る事が出来ました。ナ・パリ・コーストに近づくに連れて断崖絶壁の風景が近くに見え大自然の景色に満喫しました。帰りは船の上でのディナーも最高でした‼
港に着く少し前には船の後ろに沈む夕陽は最高でした。是非体験して大自然を満喫して下さい。

Whale watching at the Napali Coast! ナパリコーストがホエールウォッチング!

Reviewed by: NOB

On the day of the trip, unfortunately, the wind was strong, and the planned course was changed. Because of this, I couldn't reach the long-awaited Na Pali Coast (cry). I received an explanation beforehand, but I wasn't fully aware of the details when we set sail. We also departed about 40 minutes late. Once we got out to sea, we encountered a sea turtle, and shortly after that, we saw a humpback whale... Since one of my other goals for this trip was whale watching, that was still good. I was overwhelmed by the sight of the whale breaching repeatedly, and the three hours flew by. The finale was a cruise while watching the sunset with a pod of dolphins... There were unlimited drinks and light meals, and I enjoyed it thoroughly. However, since it was a meal on a small boat, you shouldn't have too high expectations... Next time, I definitely want to make it to the Na Pali Coast!

当日は生憎風が強く予定されていたコースが変更されました。 このため念願のナ・パリ・コーストまではたどりつけず(泣) 事前に説明を受けましたが、詳しくは把握できないまま出航。出航も40分ほど遅れていました。 沖に出るとウミガメに遭遇、そこからしばらくするとザトウクジラが、、、今回のもうひとつの目的がホエールウォッチングだったのでそれはそれでいいか。 何度も何度もブリーチを繰り返す鯨の姿に圧倒されながらあっという間の3時間でした。フィナーレはサンセットを見ながら、イルカの群れとクルージング、、、ドリンク飲み放題、軽い食事つきでしたが十分楽しみました。 ただし小型船の上での食事ですので、あまり期待はしないほうがいいでしょう。。。 次回は是非ナ・パリ・コーストまで!

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

I just don't enjoy large group tours

Reviewed by: Linsey

This is a great tour for those that want an easy, non-strenuous ride up and back on the river. I just did not enjoy being packed in with that many people to see the attraction after hiking and adventuring all week and then going on a garden tour directly before this one. I thought it was the only way to get to the grotto, and didn't like being herded in a huge group to see the ferns and hurry and take a photo. We really wished we knew that renting kayaks from the same company was an option because that looked way more our style. Aside from that, the staff was nice and gave an informative tour and musical entertainment for the ride. Best suited for older or more conservative tourists.
