Snuba Tours of Kauai | Small-Group Guided Beach SNUBA Diving Tour at Lawai Beach

Very cool experience

Reviewed by: Jessica

The guides were very knowledgeable and patient. We got to see many different kinds of fish and the guide filmed us underwater with the sea life and had a DVD we could purchase for only $35! Very cool excursion!

Kauai Surf School - Surfing Lessons at Poipu Beach

Lots of fun!

Reviewed by: Jeannine

My daughter and I had an awesome time learning to surf. I didn't plan on surfing, but my teenage daughter really wanted to and I'm glad I did. The instructor was very nice and enjoyed teaching. I would definitely do it again. The only (small) problem I had was the rocky ocean floor....I got a little scratched up, but it was all worth it! Mahalo!

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

Action packed day

Reviewed by: Beleu

While we stopped in two muddy holes for swimming, there was no waterfall swim as announced.
Kayaking was really nice and peaceful. While the zip lines are long there are only two of them (not the three as described). Also a special note for the lunch, best lunch from all the activities we did, that has been improved since the previous reviews.

This was an awesome excursion! The combo of boating,zipping, and swimming in the weird zip line area, the drive and views made this trip great! I would definitely do this again! It was so much fun! Definitely wear water shoes or something though it is very wet and slippery.

Kauai Surf School - Surfing Lessons at Poipu Beach

Sooo much fun!

Reviewed by: Sandy

Alan was a wonderful teacher! There were three of us in his group; a pre-teen boy, a 30 something Mom & me, the 50 something Mom. After straightforward and practical advice on land, we “hit the waves” and all three of us got up our very first time. The experience was exhilarating. I loved every minute of it. Alan was experienced, friendly, patient and had plenty of positive reinforcement. I would do it again in a heartbeat if I didn’t have to come back to Canada. It’s one of my best memories of Hawaii; thank you Alan!

Wailua River Kayak & Secret Falls Hike - Guided Kauai Adventure

Fun, beautiful kayaking, hiking trip

Reviewed by: Susan Swanberg

Because we were off season my husband and I were the only ones that signed up for a kayaking tour - so we got a private tour with a guide. Our guide, Christian, was very friendly, familiar with the area and so helpful to have along. Being I had never kayaked before he went over safety features and the easiest way to get in and out of a kayak! The kayaking was easy (gorgeous views along the river), the hike was fun (mud up to my knees) the waterfall at the end was beautiful. It was a very successful trip and would very happily do it all again.

Wailua River Kayak & Secret Falls Hike - Guided Kauai Adventure

One of the best activities of our week on Kauai

Reviewed by: Ellen

My husband, 18-yr-old daughter,and 20-yr-old son completely enjoyed everything about this day adventure. I was unable to participate -- I have a bad knee and wear a brace, and it was recommended that it would be risky for me. Afterwards, my husband said that that was the right decision -- there's a bit of hard work in getting through the mud to the falls. The guide shared interesting local information throughout the day, it was beautiful, fun, active. would do it again. Thank you!

カウアイ島 ワイルア川カヤック&熱帯雨林ハイキング <英語ガイド/昼食付き>

It's fairly hard. そこそこハードです

Reviewed by: せつこ

I participated without hotel pickup. The meeting place was a bit vague, but it was fine as long as I approached someone who looked like they were part of the group.

We launched the kayaks into the river for about 30 minutes. Since I wasn't used to it, I fell quite behind. After that, we walked for over an hour on muddy paths and through brush, although there weren't many ups and downs.

We had lunch while enjoying the view of the waterfall, and then we headed back. The lunch was quite substantial, making it tough to carry on the way there.

This tour allows you to truly experience the nature of Kauai.

ホテル送迎なしで参加。待ち合わせ場所はアバウト。こちらからそれらしい人に声かければ、大丈夫です。
カヤックを川におろして、30分程度のカヤック。慣れてないため、かなり遅れをとりました。
その後、アップダウンはそれほどないものの泥道だったり藪だったりの一時間超の歩行。
滝を見ながらお弁当食べて、帰ってきます。お弁当は往路は背負ってるのがつらいほどボリュームたっぷり。
カウアイの自然を肌で感じることができるツアーです。

I want to do it again!

Reviewed by: Kayla

Got sort of lost looking for the place. We thought we were looking for a building but it's actually a white van. Other than that the crew was great. We had Thomas and another man (sorry forgot his name) but they were understanding and helpful. Our family and friends loved it. It was the highlight of my trip. Can't wait to come back one day to Kauai.

Hanalei River and Blue Lagoon Kayaking & Guided Snorkeling Tour - Kayak Kauai

Jessie was the BEST tour guide. The ultimate professional and extremely personalable.

Reviewed by: Portland, OR Couple

What more can we say? Jessie made our kayak tour the most exciting part of our Kaua'i vacation. He's 100% passionate about the island & maintaining it's splendor. Jessie know the island flora & fauna, as well as very interesting tidbits about the history. He is also an excellent kayaker, who remained calm throughout our outing. One of the 3 couples in our party had their kayak turn over and the wife, a non-swimmer panicked. Jessie made sure all were safe with life preservers securely fastened, despite the slight "adventure." This tour is worth doing again, and again. Thanks Jessie!

Good mix of adventures.

Reviewed by: Travel4fun Group

Good trip overall, but took awhile to get started. Kayaking and hiking was easy and fun. The 2 ziplines were good and long. The lunch they provided was o.k. There are several places to get wet during the hikes that were fun. If you can't decide on what kind of adventure you want to do then this is a great mix.

Awesome SNUBA Tour

Reviewed by: A Davis

This tour was pretty cool. I wasn't sure what to expect and was really nervous but everyone friendly and helpful. One of the guides, Sean, can come off a little abrasive to an anxious person like me and kind of seemed like "oh great, I have deal with a tourist who doesn't know what they're doing" but the main guy (I can't remember his name, sorry) made up for him and really helped me out when I was having difficulty. The diversity of fish and life that you get to see is beautiful and amazing! I would highly recommend this activity!

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

Unfortunate weather put a damper on the trip

Reviewed by: Paul and Karyn

We were in Hawaii for our 25th anniversary and this was our first trip we had booked. My husband was really looking forward to the kayaking and I was really looking forward to the ziplining. Unfortunately because of the weather (nothing the staff could have done about it - they were really great people!), but we ended up kayaking down a mud river in pouring rain. Hiking through a muddy forest. Lunch was great (sun came out and beautiful spot), but we were super disappointed that there were only 2 ziplines and then the waterfall swim was more like a mud puddle splash. Unbelievably...the weather got worse and we hiked what seemed like 5 miles out of the wettest, muddiest conditions we've ever experienced and took an open boat ride back. Soaking wet, really cold with wind blowing on you from boat ride. Our whole group all tried to keep our spirits up, after all, we're in Hawaii, but you could tell that everyone just wanted it over by the end. An unfortunate shame...probably would have rated it a 4 if it had been a sunny day.

Beautiful ... and muddy

Reviewed by: Julia

This was a great adventure and our guide was very good!
I do think one should be warned a little more of how muddy the trail to the falls is, but even with that it was beautiful and fun. I would recommend this to anyone younger and in decent shape...if you have bad knees or are excessively heavy you would be much more prone to injury on the hike.
Overall experience was fabulous!

Snuba diving was the best!! Kevin and Shawn were our instructors and they were so much fun! I'm scuba certified and and my best friend has only snorkeled, and snuba was so easy to do. I would absolutely do it again. I did however wish we could go deeper but you share a tank so you're limited to air. It was still a great experience and I'm really glad I did it!

Wailua River Kayak & Secret Falls Hike - Guided Kauai Adventure

Reids were 'Reid-y' for anything!

Reviewed by: Reid Family

Our day for this adventure was sunny and warm. The ten of us were excited to get underway and see the secret waterfall hidden amongst the trees.
The kayaks we were given were ocean kayaks and were very comfortable and easy to use.
After a very muddy hike, the cool clean water of the pool by the beautiful waterfall was very much appreciated. The hike was much muddier than expected, and at times we were slogging through muddy puddles where we could not see our feet. It was dangerous at times. Perhaps a little more preparation for those participating would be beneficial. The guides are used to the conditions and may forget that us regular folk from snow country may not be as accustomed to mud and such.

Our guide was well-versed in the natural plants, and even made us bracelets from the leaves of a tree. He was patient, and very knowledgeable.
Lunch was good and nutritious, and we were all hungry by the time we got to the waterfall.
We would do this trek again, but might check in first to see what the mud factor is!
