This summer, I participated with four friends. I was really looking forward to it because of the term "hidden coastal area," and I was able to see truly wonderful landscapes created by nature. Along the way, we encountered a pod of dolphins, and during snorkeling, we saw various types of fish and even got to touch some marine animals. It turned out to be a very satisfying day, and I thoroughly enjoyed the charm of Kauai Island.
この夏に友達4人で参加してきました。秘境海岸という言葉にひかれ参加前からかなり期待していたのですが、ほんとに自然が作り出す素晴らしい景観を見ることができました。また、途中イルカの群れに遭遇したり、シュノーケリングではいろんな種類の魚を見れ動物にも触れられました。大満足の1日になり、カウアイ島の魅力もたっぷり堪能できました。

When it comes to Kauai, the Na Pali Coast is a must-see! I joined this tour to experience the beauty of nature. On the day of the tour, the weather was great, the sky was a brilliant blue, and the ocean was incredibly clear. The natural formations of Na Pali, shaped over hundreds of years, were more beautiful than I had imagined, and the grandeur took my breath away.
The snorkeling was fantastic, with excellent water clarity, vibrant fish, and I was lucky enough to see a sea turtle as well. While I thoroughly enjoyed the stunning views during the cruise, I think it's a good idea for those who are prone to seasickness to take motion sickness medication in advance, as the time spent on the boat can be quite long.
カウアイ島といえばやっぱりナパリコースト!大自然の造形美が見たくてこのツアーに参加しました。
当日は天気も良く空は真っ青で、海はとってもきれいでした。ナパリの何百年もかけて造られた大自然は想像以上の美しさで、はっと息を呑むような壮大さでした。
シュノーケリングは、海の透明度バツグンで色鮮やかな魚たちや、運よく海ガメも見ることができとても楽しめました。
今回のクルージングでは素晴らしい景色を堪能できましたが、ただ船に乗る時間が長いので、船酔いをする人は酔い止め薬を予め飲んでたほうが良いと思います。
あなたをお迎えできて嬉しかったですし、あなたがどれほど楽しんでいただけたかを知ることができてとても幸せです!またお会いするまで… マハロとアロハ
It was a pleasure to have you aboard, and we are so happy to know how much you enjoyed it! Until we meet again... Mahalo and Aloha

We arrived at Kauai Backcountry Adventures and were quickly greeted by a staff member. The set up was easy to follow, the instructions were clear and the process was very organized. The staff was laid back, informative and very friendly. Jamie and BJ made our experience great. They were knowledgable and eager to make sure we were having a great time (and "Bundy" is one hell of a driver). We hope to return and would recommend their company to anyone.

This was one of the highlights of my whole trip! But first the bad stuff:
Be prepared that riding in a small zodiac very quickly through the extremely bumpy, choppy Pacific Ocean is not for the faint of heart!! You're basically holding on for dear life to a rope and you're bumping and bopping all over the place as you're speeding through the ocean. And then it rains and those drops sting you're eyes as you're speeding in a boat. If you even THINK you have a sore back or neck DO NOT do this! My boyfriend and I are both in excellent shape and we both still had soreness in our backs and butts for two days afterward from the boat ride and our knuckles were rubbed raw from holding onto the rope (we should have used the gloves the captain offered us!).
But it was SO worth it!! We even boated over a whole group of dolphins and you're seeing them way up close and personal in this zodiac rather than on a big high boat. It was so amazing!! The snorkeling is wonderful, the Na Pali Coast is

I was disappointed to learn that 80% of ride would be through tunnels - I pictured we'd have some tunnels but mostly be having a nice trip through Kauai scenery. It was still lots of fun though!!
Though the guide said there was over 50 miles of irrigation ditches, but that the tour is only through 2 1/2 miles, so it's not a very long trip. There's a nature walk before hand and picnic lunch after. But for the money, I'd rather skip both those and do the irrigation ride twice, or at least have a much, much longer ride.
I was still pretty fun and I would definitely recommend this to families but it's definitely way expensive for what you get. The water is freezing cold, so be prepared.

The Smith Family employees and family members were all VERY friendly and hospitable. The food was very average, but the show was unique to other luau shows I have seen in the past. The grounds were very beautiful and I loved how they took us on the tram to show us around and then let us wonder at our leisure to get a closer look at everything.

Didn't know what to expect. If you like water rides, you're in for quite an adventure. Alot of fun for the family-our ages ranged from 7 to 45 and we all had a great time. The guides were very informative, funny and helpful.

The Smith family embraces you with their Hawaiian charm as soon as you meet them! The river trip to the Fern Grotto was a beautiful experience. We were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary so when the singers sang the Hawaiian Wedding Song it was very special! The Hula dancer on-board was not only beautiful, but very talented as well. Even my husband participated in the learning of the Hula dance - much to my delight! I would do this trip again if ever given the chance. Truly memorable!

We enjoyed the Na Pali Coast and the dolphins that followed us! The snorkling, at least on the day we went, was not even worth getting in the water, I saw maybe 5 fish. Motion sickness prevention is a must! Lunch was good.

We took my sister to this Luau because this was her first visit to a Hawaiian Island not because we enjoyed our past experience at a Luau. The Smiths did a fantastic job! The setting, the food, the presentation were all wonderful. I would do this again. It truly felt like we were at the Smiths dinner table enjoying a meal with them.

Not really what i had expected. I found it to be rather boring. Would have really liked to see more of the Men dances than there was. Didn't really care for all the other country style dances was really looking for more of a Hawaiian, Polnysian style luau. The fire dance was cool. Think kids would find this show rather boring. The plantation was really really pretty i would recommend that you tour that.

The boat is kind of boring, but also very scenic. The grotto does make it worthwhile. I suggest doing the Smiths luau right after this, they are right together, so why not!

I had such a great time on the Safari tour. I had Alex, Maggie and Adrienne as my tour guides and they were FANTASTIC! Our group laughed so much and I felt really safe having Alex and Adrienne there to explain what we were supposed to do during the zipline and jumping off Kipu falls. I had a blast and was totally pumped up after I left for the rest of the day. I would recommend this tour to everyone who's going to Kauai!
Thanks so much for the fabulous adventure!
