Kipu Ranch ATV Tour – Scenic Ride Through Jurassic Park Film Locations

Great Dirty Fun

Reviewed by: Charles Wells

This is a great opportunity to be covered in dirt from head to toe, in this mountain adventure. It was the best activity on the island of Kaua'i.

Kauai Mountain Tubing Adventure – Float Through Jungle Tunnels & Canals

Our guide was so fabulous/FUNNY

Reviewed by: Cindy & Steve Pixley

She kept the entire family and other couple amused and informed the entire trip. Also we asked for some input on key restaurants to visit while we were there and she was right on and we totally appreciated all her help. Our driver was also a pleasure and a very enjoyable addition to the conversation. Plus the turkey lunch was great!!!!! We would definetly recommend this to our friends.!!!

ナ・パリ・コースト クルーズ 立ち入り禁止の聖域「ニイハウ島」沖でのシュノーケリング付き<朝食・ビュッフェ昼食付き/英語ガイド>

This is an adventure!! これは冒険!!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I was able to see some truly wonderful scenery. We had to leave the hotel at 6 AM when it was still dark, but I’m glad I woke up early!

The captain and the crew greeted us warmly, and as soon as we boarded the boat, a rainbow (a double rainbow!) appeared overhead, instantly dispelling any worries I had! The sunrise from the boat was also incredibly beautiful.

The distance to the Na Pali Coast is quite significant. We picked up speed more than I expected as we headed toward our destination. My body lifted off the seat several times! As someone who loves roller coasters, I really enjoyed it. I was completely absorbed in the scenery passing by.

We zoomed to the turnaround point, and from there, we enjoyed the breathtaking views of the Na Pali Coast while the crew provided explanations. We even got close to the sea caves along the coastline. We were able to see waterfalls in various spots as well.

After enjoying the Na Pali Coast, we headed toward Niihau Island. This also involved quite a distance! We moved through the deep blue sea. There were many birds flying around. As I watched, I saw a bird dive into the water to catch a fish! Watching the birds glide between the waves was mesmerizing.

As we approached the crater next to Niihau Island, the color of the sea became more and more beautiful. I was excited to think, “Can we swim here!?” At the snorkeling spot, we discovered a sea monk! Although I didn’t see it underwater, its little head popping out of the sea was incredibly cute. We were able to see many fish and corals.

The crew on the boat shared various stories with us. They answered our questions politely. I think the cheerful captain and friendly crew really enhanced this activity.

Finally, we zoomed back from Niihau Island to Kauai Island, bouncing quite a bit along the way. The splashes were intense, so it might be a good idea to have a windbreaker. Sitting on the edge, I got splashed so much that I couldn’t keep my eyes open. At first, it was fun, but after an hour, it became a bit troublesome!

For those who want adventure and to feel the great outdoors, definitely give this a try!!! I truly experienced the deep blue sea and felt like I was in a hidden paradise.

とってもすばらしい景色を見ることができました。
6時チェックインとまだ真っ暗ななかホテルを出発することになりましたが、
早起きして良かった!と思います。

キャプテン、船のクルーがフレンドリーにお迎えしてくれて、
上船したらなんと虹(ダブルレインボー)が頭上に現れ、
すぐに不安はふっとびました!笑船からの朝日もとてもきれいです。

ナパリコーストまでは結構距離があります。
予想以上にスピードをだして、目的のポイントまで向かいます。
なんども体が中に浮きました^^;ジェットコースターが好きな私は楽しめました。
終始通り過ぎていく景色に夢中でした。

びゅーーーんと折り返し地点まで向かい、そこからはゆっくりと説明を加えながら
ナパリコーストの絶景を楽しめます。
海岸沿いにできているシーケーブ(洞窟)にも接近してもらえました。
いろいろなところに滝をみることもできました。

ナパリコーストを楽しんだら、ニーハウ島へ向かいます。
これもまたかなりの移動距離!真っ青な海のなかを進んでいきます。
鳥がたくさん飛んでいました。ぼーっと観ていたら鳥が海の中に入っていき魚を捕まえていました!
波の合間をすーーと飛んでいく鳥は見ていてあきません。

ニーハウ島の横にできているクレーターに近づくとどんどん海の色がきれいになってきます。
ここで泳げるの!?とテンションは上がり、
シュノーケルスポットではシーモンクを発見!
海中では見られなかったけど海水から頭をぽこっとだした姿はとてもかわいらしかったです。
たくさんの魚やサンゴをみることができました。

船上のクルーはいろいろな話をしてくれます。質問をしたら丁寧に答えてくれます。
愉快なキャプテンとフレンドリーなクルーがこのアクティビティを
盛り上げてくれたと思います。

最後はニーハウ島からカウアイ島までもびゅーーーーんとかなり揺れながら帰って行きます。
スプラッシュもすごいので、ウィンドブレーカーがあればいいかもしれません。
ふちに座ると目が開けられないほどのスプラッシュにかかります。
最初は楽しんでいましたが、1時間も続くと少しやっかいです^^;笑

冒険したい方、大自然を感じたい方!ぜひ参加してみてください!!!
真っ青な海を体感できました。本当に秘境にで

Holo Holo Super Kauai Snorkel Tour - Niihau & Na Pali Coast Adventure with Breakfast, Lunch & Drinks

Very Nice Day on the Water

Reviewed by: amythann

We love boat rides and this was a great sightseeing and snorkel tour. The boat was comfortable and had good indoor and outside seating. Also two heads which was a nice feature. This is the only boat that crosses the channel from Kauai over to Niihau and the little island of Lehua which is where we snorkeled. They provided fins (we brought our own mask and snorkel) and "noodles" which I appreciated since I am a bit fearful of snorkeling. Also a great spread of cold cuts, with all the trimmings and lots of vegetables, and dessert for lunch. They are very safety-conscious, but I wish there was a better way to impress upon people that the crossing is rough and they should always hold on or sit down, because the constant lecturing got a bit tedious. I definitely recommend doing this trip, though.

ナ・パリ・コースト セーリング シュノーケリング付き<朝食・ビュッフェ昼食付き/英語ガイド>

The Napa Coast is magnificent. ナ・パリ・コーストは壮大

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

This was my first time on Kauai Island. The weather was great, and I got to see the Na Pali Coast, just like in Jurassic Park. It was even better than I had heard.

Along the way, when we spotted a large group of dolphins and birds hunting, the boat got closer. The dolphins seemed used to boats and quickly approached us, which made the kids very happy.

There were three staff members, including a female captain, and they were all very kind and helpful. The meeting point is quite far, and there’s no shuttle service from Lihue or Poipu, so it’s tough without a rental car.

I want to go again!

 カウアイ島は初めてでした。 天気もよくジュラシック・パークの背景のそのままのナ・パリ・コーストを見てきました。 噂以上でした。

 途中イルカの大群や鳥の捕食の様子を見つけると船を近づけてくれました。 イルカは慣れているようで、すぐ船によってきて子供は大喜びでした。


  スタッフは女性のキャプテンを含めて3人でしたが、とても親切でよくしていただきました。集合場所が遠く、リフエやポイプからでも送迎がないのでレンタカーがないとつらいです。


  また行きたいです。

Kauai Backcountry Treetop Canopy Zipline & Swimming Adventure with Lunch

Kauai Backcountry Zipline Adventure

Reviewed by: Erlinda D. San Diego, CA

Great time and fun! I was a little nervous at first, but the crew really made me feel safe, and they were all pros at this. Would recommend to anybody. But you do have to be at least 100 lbs, so the little ones can't do this. I would definitely do this again! Also, look for sales. Got this on sale via HawaiiActivities.com for $99.00 plus tax per person. Usually goes for $120-135 per person plus tax. Also, book on-line at least one week before you leave for Kauai.

My husband and I did the 8am zip tour last week and had soooooooo much fun! Who needs caffeine to wake you up when you can fly over 200 ft in the sky at 30+ mph? Definitely an exhilarating and great start to our day and Kaua'i trip.

PS. Pono, Alohi and DJ are great tour guides! They really cared about everyone's safety and made sure we learned a lot and had tons of fun!

Na Pali Coast Explorer Ocean Rafting Snorkel Tour (from Kikiaola Harbor)

NaPali coast tour

Reviewed by: Tim and Christie

The Na Pali coast is gorgeous and something everyone should see, especially from the sea. Our boat sat 12 guests and was very fast, but smooth. I didn't get sea sick on this fast boat and didn't really even get wet! We did the beach landing and snorkeling. Snorkeling was good and the hike to the Hawaiian village was interesting and informative. I would recommend this activity.

ATV Waterfalls tour

Reviewed by: Tim and Christie

My husband and I really enjoyed this activity. The Quads were fun and pretty easy to drive. The ranch is gorgeous and a great place to ride. Our guides were very knowledgable, fun, informative, and made effort to speak with all guests on the trip. I recommend not wearing any clothes/shoes/socks that you don't mind ruining from the mud spatter! Mud stains did not come out of our clothing very well. Also, bring LOTS of bug spray for the stop at the falls. LOTS of fun and I plan to do it again, next time I'm on Kauai.

Another Family Pleaser

Reviewed by: Big Momma

We had a blast on this tubing adventure. Definitely a great way to have fun without to much effort. Just sit back and relax on the tube and off you go. I took my kids (7 & 12), husband and parents and everyone had a great time. And the way Grandma (almost 60) was talking about it afterward, I know she really enjoyed herself. I booked this tubing adventure and the Na Pali Coast Snorkel Tour and my family told me I was 2 for 2.

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

This tour gets an enthusiastic YES from me! And my boyfriend agrees. We both had a great time. We are outdoor enthusiasts, so we wanted to stay in nature out and doing activities while here in Hawaii, so this was just right for us.

I like especially how the trip was mixed in that we got to paddle along the river in a kayak, and then mix it up a bit with a nature walk...kept things interesting and allowed different muscles to rest.

Really good time, we both had a lot of fun.

Outfitters Kauai Zipline Trek Adventures at Kipu Ranch

Definitely Worth the Visit!

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

I was blessed to go on the Zipline Trek yesterday morning, and had such an amazing experience. The ziplines and course were incredible, but what truly made the tour were the guides, Trevor and Nick. From the minute we got our backpacks and climbed into the van, their energy, enthusiasm and candor put everyone at ease immediately...truly setting the tone for a remarkable day.

Between Trevor's humor and charm, and Nick's great historical knowledge and easy going attitude, it was a dynamic duo that I for one was so grateful to have lead me. I am an avid traveler, and have been on many tours...and if anyone knows, it would be me, that oftentimes it is the guides that can make or break the entire "feel" of the experience. Hands down, 100%, I can confidently say that Trevor and Nick MADE this experience.

And by the end of the day, I do believe we were all a bit enraptured with Trevor especially...even down to the 15 year old swooning in the back...charmer, witty, and just wonderful. G
