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>

Wailua River Cruise (Half Day / English Guide)
Since I had previously participated in a tour with a Japanese guide, I joined this affordable tour without a guide this time.
The cheerful English guide entertained everyone, and it was fun to sing and dance together!
After getting off the boat, the well-maintained walkway was reassuring, as my mother, who has some difficulty walking, was able to manage the distance.
The Wailua River Cruise is wonderful no matter how many times you come!

シダの洞窟観光遊覧船(半日/英語ガイド)
以前は日本語ガイドのツアーに参加したので、今回はガイド不要だったのでお安いこのツアーに参加。
陽気で皆を楽しませる英語ガイドで、一緒に歌ったりダンスしたりと面白かったです!
ボートを降りてからも少し脚が悪い母でも歩ける距離できちんと歩道も整備されており安心でした。
何度来ても素敵なワイルアリバークルーズでした。

Wailua River Kayak & Secret Falls Hike - Guided Kauai Adventure

Go!

Reviewed by: Nathan from LA

This was one of the highlights of our trip, like the title say... Go! It was beautiful, challenging (slippery on a sunny day - potentially dangerous if you aren’t wearing proper shoes for the hike portion) and exhilarating. Our guide Tyler was a wealth of information and kept everyone relaxed through a new experience.

Wailua River Kayak & Secret Falls Hike - Guided Kauai Adventure

Awesome!

Reviewed by: Sjewkes

This was a great way to really see Kauai by water and land. The waterfall was worth the hike. Remember to wear really good shoes for the hike as you will cross over some fast moving water. My shoes kept slipping off. Overall, a great activity.

Reply from activity provider

Thanks for your review. Always have loved the Hawaiian word for waterfall: "wail lele" which is defined as "jumping waters". Come back and enjoy our other snorkel and paddling tours. And yes...aqua shoes or sturdy tennis shoes is a must. A hui hou and thanks again.

Smiths Family Garden Luau in Kauai - Authentic Hawaiian Dinner & Show

An authentic Polynesian evening in Kauai

Reviewed by: Darcy

On our last night on the island, my friend and I went to the Smith's Luau, and it was one of our most memorable times on Kauai. It was not only informative, but entertaining as well. You can tell that this family owned and operative business is run with love and a true appreciation for Hawaiian culture.

The tram ride took us along the huge gardens, and was a great way to get a quick view of the area. I loved that they have a herd of goats! The babies were just so cute! It was also close to where they were doing the imu or underground oven ceremony. Picture time!

The food was plentiful and really tasty. I loved that they had entertainment (music and dancing) while we ate, and the only thing is that I would personally skip the fruit punch. It was just too sweet! But the food, man! I had two full plates and would have had more, but would have ended up rolling out of there.

Our night concluded with some fantastic performances, and although they weren't the most polished, they were filled with sincerity and a love of hula that can't be matched. You can tell that they truly enjoy being on that stage and it is just so moving. Really happy we went :)

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 breathtaking views of Jurassic Park. ジュラシックパークの絶景

Reviewed by: ハイハイ

We participated as a couple, and all the other participants were foreigners. On the way there, we took a boat and after about 30 minutes of searching for dolphins, we went snorkeling. The water was a bit cold, but we enjoyed it for about 30 minutes. However, the coral wasn't as impressive as in Okinawa. After about an hour, we arrived at the Na Pali Coast. The breathtaking view was spectacular and definitely worth the trip (see photo). We spent about an hour exploring around the Na Pali Coast, and then had lunch on the way back, but I couldn't eat due to seasickness. Unfortunately, I had to have my lunch packed to go. About 30 minutes before disembarking, the waves calmed down, and I recovered from the seasickness, allowing me to have a late lunch. We made it back safely.

One point to note: the meeting place, "Port Allen Marine Center," refers to the area, but you need to go to the tour company "Holo Holo." I found this out by asking at a different office. I would like the voucher to reflect this information.

The family owned luau was extremely well run from the warm greetings, the shell lei and pictures to a tour of the gardens, the ceremony of retrieving the pig and delicious dinner and drinks. We especially enjoyed the variety of the show. The dancers were suberb! We'd recommend this luau experience to everyone

Wailua River Kayak & Secret Falls Hike - Guided Kauai Adventure

A must do adventure!

Reviewed by: WA State travelers

We took the first group out at 7:45am,was a perfect trip and not over crowded. Our tour guide was Phil, he was terrific -very knowledgeable and a ton of fun. My husband and I had a great time and would recommend this for anyone wanting a little adventure. The kayaking was nice and about two miles to your hiking spot-less waterway traffic going in- coming out was getting busy- would suggest booking the early group. The hike was muddy-go barefoot or wear sturdy shoes you don't mind getting wet and muddy, a bit slippery and challenging but fun. The waterfall is beautiful (water was a bit chilly) but worth getting in it. Lunch was perfect, not too much and very yummy. Definitely a must do when visiting the island.

Spectacular adventure!!!

Reviewed by: MarkFlannery

Our daughter bought us this trip for our 30th wedding anniversary. We then added four of our good friends that we came with. Kayaking up and down the river was amazing, and on into the ocean. Our snorkeling adventure was awesome, as we saw a Sea Turtle and beautiful fish! Lunch was delicious too! Lisa and Steve did a great job! We were especially grateful for Lisa sharing her expansive knowledge of nature, surfing, and the Hawaiian culture! She was super accommodating taking pictures and setting up lunch! Many thanks!!!

Wailua River Kayak & Secret Falls Hike - Guided Kauai Adventure

BEST DAY EVER!!!!!

Reviewed by: Deb

This was by far the best day of our week. The kids loved it! The kayak trip on the river was amazing, nice and relaxing, beautiful scenery. Advice- have one experienced kayak-er for the 2 person kayak. The hike through the forest was so cool, it was exactly what we had imagined. We were filled with history and information along our hike which was really inviting! Once we got to the falls, delightful! Although the water was cold, it was the neatest things we had experienced! The lunch, the surroundings, the tour guide, all amazing! Don't second guess, Just do it!!!

Wailua River Kayak & Secret Falls Hike - Guided Kauai Adventure

Be very careful!

Reviewed by: Annie S.

The waterfall destination is spectacular, our guide, Web, was very good - and barefoot!. Well-fitting hiking or sturdy aqua shoes are a must for the average hiker. The kayak trip is easy in a wide river. The hike is often along narrow pathways along a dropoff area with no barriers. The ground is very muddy, uneven and you're stepping between roots of trees much of the time. Good foot placement, patience and balance are requirements. When we arrived at the falls, a thunderstorm dumped a lot of rain decreasing the time at the falls and created an extremely wet and muddy return trip on the path back to the kayaks. Puddle depths were unknown leading to many slips and falls and very slow and slippery going. While no one was hurt in our group of 12, I'd advise this trip only for the very adventurous, and very careful!

Deluxe Na Pali Experience Snorkel Tour, Breakfast & Lunch - Holo Holo Charters

Tour good, but long for us

Reviewed by: Kathy

The tour, boat, crew, food, and scenery were great. For us, water was too cold to snorkel and 5 hours was too long. Probably would have done better on a 2-3 hour cruise. We did see porpoise, turtles, a monk seal and whale spouts, so the company delivered- it was more our issues that made it too long for us. Also, it is a 1 hr, 45 min drive from princeville to marina, so should have signed up for afternoon tour, not morning.

Smiths Family Garden Luau in Kauai - Authentic Hawaiian Dinner & Show

Educational and professional luau

Reviewed by: Kathy

The smith family runs a professional operation. Everything was well-timed. Tram through the gardens to the imu presentation was nice. Ability to walk through the gardens was nice as much as you want is nice. Imu (unearthing the cooked pig) was interesting. Food at dinner was good, though open air dining room was not was I would have expected. Show was in an amphitheater nearby and again not what I expected, but visibility was good for all. The show was very well done, the right length and I appreciated the educational sharing of different types of dance to immigrants from different countries. Very enjoyable.

Great option to see Wailua river and Fern Grotto for those not kayaking

Reviewed by: B.L.

5 years ago I came to Kauai and kayaked up the Wailua river. This time I'm taking family here who are not all physically fit and it would be a pity if there was no other way to see the Wailua river and Fern Grotto! Fortunately there's Smith's River Cruise! It offers a relaxing way to see the river, take a boat ride, and walk around the Fern Grotto. Well worth the ticket price! You also get to see a fun performance by the crew there and on the boat ride back, and get to join in the dancing.
