Waimea Canyon Guided Sightseeing, Kokee State Park Nature Walk & Coffee Tour

Nice Adventure

Reviewed by: Rosanna

This was a fun day. We saw a lot of nice sights. I wish we could have had more time at each location, though. We ended up going back to a couple sights on our own the next day. Jonna was friendly and answered our questions. The lunch wasn't very good by the time we got to eat it. (We picked it up to eat later) Maybe it depended on what you ordered. All in all a nice day and some fun sights.

Wailua River Kayak & Secret Falls Hike - Guided Kauai Adventure

Wonderful activity, fantastic guide, great time!

Reviewed by: J Slayton

Went on this kayak, hiking and swimming adventure with my sister. It did not disappoint at all.
Justice our guide was fantastic! He was knowledgeable, super friendly and made sure everyone was having fun and doing good. His dog precious girl Koi was such a treat to have as our companion, we just loved her.
The Kayaking was refreshing and captivating with beautiful surrounds for a hike. It was not a difficult or long hike so can be done by most and allowed us to just have a great time. I would highly recommend this activity and tour company Kayak Kauai / NaPali Outfitters, Inc.

Aloha J,

Rumors are that Justice's dog is who is really guiding his tours.

Seriously, thanks for taking the time to share your experience and kind words. You make it possible for us to do what we do and to share the beauty of Kaua'i.

Stay paddling and active.

Highly Recommend!

Reviewed by: Emily

Highly Recommend Hidden Valley Falls Kayak Adventure!

My husband and I went with our 4 and 6 year old kiddos - what a great adventure. The kayak portion was beautiful and the hike was easy for the kids to do and our guide had lots of great info to share as we walked along. The highlight was the rope swing into the water! Having a boat take you back and not having to paddle upstream was a highlight as well - made this a very doable trip with kids. This was one of my favorite activities we did in Kaua'i!

Kauai Mountain Tubing Adventure – Float Through Jungle Tunnels & Canals

Tubing on Kauai

Reviewed by: Pam

Cody, tour guide, provided a wealth of historical and current information about Kauai’s development.
Safety was a big concern as two others with our group provided this. There were 5 tunnels.
I would suggest that your neck could be impacted, so you should make time to relax the neck, clasped with your hands behind your neck, when opportunity arises.
Attire is basic swim shorts, t shirt, and water tubbies.
Refunds for 3 of our travelers is being processed, so this is a bonus, as most activities will not offer a full refund on the portion not used.

Ultimate Kauai Private Guided Island Tour - Waimea Canyon & South Shore

Orlando was awesome

Reviewed by: Lee

First, our driver/guide Orlando was simply amazing. He was quite knowledgeable and helpful. Orlando’s sense of humor kept us relaxed and laughing. Orlando picked us up right on time. We mentioned to him we would need frequent restroom stops. Not only was he accommodating but he was very picky about where he stopped being conscious of cleanliness. Speaking of cleanliness, our vehicle was spotless and very comfortable. We loved his guidance and took him to lunch. I cannot recommend this tour more highly. When you book, be sure to ask for Orlando!

Aloha Andre,

"G" must be our guide Garrick. Garrick brings a true love of the outdoors of Kaua'i, Alaska, etc. We are very fortunate, all of us, sharing his particular brand of Aloha and grasp of the cultural and natural history of the Wailua River complex.

Thanks for the 5 stars.

We came as a group of 10 to celebrate a teen birthday on our last day! The guides were very relaxed and fun. They keep you intrigued while passing thru each leg of the journey. The swim holes are epic! Like highlight of the tour for me! The zips were easy, fun and different! I've been on many styles of ziplines, never like some of these! Fun treat!

This was a very cool and unique tubing experience down the ditches of a former sugar plantation. The staff are fun, entertaining, and knowledgeable, including Laki and crew. You will experience views the island that you can not see otherwise. A must do for those who have not done it before. There are five tunnels you pass through along the way.

Wailua River Kayak & Secret Falls Hike - Guided Kauai Adventure

Best part of our trip to Kauai!

Reviewed by: J’Neal

This tour was by far our favorite part of our entire trip. The kayaking is beautiful and relaxing - easy enough for beginners (like some people in our group) but still very enjoyable for seasoned kayakers like my husband and me. The hike was also a lot of fun. A bit challenging at times - not so much in the way of fitness, but more-so because there are some places where it’s uneven and slippery. But as long as you wear good water shoes and step carefully, it’s a fairly easy hike even for someone that’s out of shape like me. The waterfall and swimming hole are stunning. Totally worth the muddy hike. Something we’ll never forget. And the guides are AMAZING! Our guide was Garrick - he was super knowledgeable, friendly, fun, and funny. He made the entire trip a blast. And at one point we met up with another group and their guide, Ty, was also super knowledgeable and funny - and played the ukulele on the hike back down. It was great! I would absolutely recommend this to anyone visiting Kauai and would definitely do it again.

Aloha J’Neal,


What a nice review with some advice of how to negotiate the often muddy trail. As you shared good water shoes helps allot.


Thanks for taking the time to let us know, well I mean that Garrick, continues to do good if not great job. Glad that you got to meet one of our other guides Tyler as well.

I can honestly say we have a great group of guides who truly love what they do and are their to interpret and share their particular and unique form of aloha.

Thanks for making it possible. You both sound like you might be candidates for our day long Na Pali sea kayak tour.

Wailua River Kayak & Secret Falls Hike - Guided Kauai Adventure

Challenging but worth it!

Reviewed by: Mary W

As a beginning kayaker, this was an energizing and satisfying ride. Make sure you have sturdy shoes for the hike. Our water ‘shoes’, more like socks, did not work as well as the closed toed more sturdy shoes would have been better and what most people had on. We made it though! That dip in the waterfall was worth the whole trip! J, our guide, was informative, attentive and amusing. Highly recommended.

Aloha Mary,

Yep…just the right amount of paddling and hiking. By the time your arms are getting tired…you are out and hiking to the falls.

Thanks for taking time to share and reflect on your tour with your guide Jay.

Waimea Canyon and the south and west side sightseeing on/off tour with lunch!

Reviewed by: Cara Christy

This experience is a really good sightseeing tour. We covered about 1/2 of the island Kauai from the south, the west, and the north side from about 9a-4p.The places we stopped were great and the were plenty of bathroom breaks! I did think there would be more hiking involved because of the description. There is a nature trail at Koke’e State Park that is nice. Our guide was a native Hawaiian with great stories to tell!
The shops in Hanapepe were fun to shop at! We loved the swinging bridge there! And, the stop at the coffee farm was great with amazing coffee to be taste tested and purchased. You could also see the coffee beans being grown on the trees! It was a fun trip!

I had the worst experience on this tour, had to wait about an hour and a half for the driver to do a food pick up and then wasted an extra hour plus just idling at a pic nic site after everyone had finished eating their lunch, while we speeded through all the main sights and barely had time to take photos of the breathtaking Waimea Canyon!!!!! Poor timing would be an understatement. It was my last day on Kauai and wish I had found another tour company to see Waimena Canyon!
