All Reviews for Sightseeing / Guided Tours

Seriously the most amazing trip ever! The guides were so informative, and we loved learning all about the history of Kauai & the ATV’s we’re beyond fun! Definitely a must to do here!

Beautiful scenery,great guides, fun trails and interesting stories. Don't miss it!

We had Aunty Alicia as our guide and she was very knowledgeable and took us to extra spots! I was glad we got to see most of the north shore.

The only downside was the people flew in for the day and we were delayed waiting for them which cut our time short at some of our viewing sites.

Just had a blast on your ATVs. Mark and Rob were great. Had loads of patience and made sure everyone had a safe and crazy ride.
Lots of background info on the ranch and history of the area made it more than just a nature ride. Wish I could give you guys a 10 star but 5 happy happies will have to do.

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.

This trip was truly worth every penny! Our tour guides Joshua and Rob were absolutely amazing! They were very informative and up to date with the property. Highly reccomend this to anyone going to Hawaii!

We had to U-turn few mins late since GPS couldn’t find the Wailua Marina location - Waze app had “Wailua River State Park” but it took us down a tiny steep road... luckily we arrived on time for the 11am tour. Had great photos along the way! Enjoyed the boat ride; aside from the humidity and brown muddy water due to the rain night before...bring a fan or baby wipes. We saw 2 kayakers and 2 paddle boarders. Nice boat attendees and Hawaiian musicians. A lovely, less than 2 hr tour with lots of time to explore rest of the island! Mahalo!

Fabulous guides- great vehicles- brought a large group and couldn’t have had more fun!! The views and the knowledgeable guides made this trip super fun!

It was definitely worth the time to visit the Fern Grotto. It was enjoyable and we even got a bit of Hawaiian history!

We were really looking forward to the trip. When we got there we sat for quite awhile waiting for late people and people running back and forth to their car. I know this is not the tour company’s fault but annoying still. As we set off it started to rain. This turned into one of the worst rain storms the island had in years. Flash floods and power outages etc. The tour probably should have been cut short but they did bring hot coffee and ponchos which was great. Lunch was good and the guides giggles and Troy tried to make the best of things. I would have really enjoyed doing this when it wasn’t pouring

Definitely a fun time! Our driver was awesome. Lots of interesting facts along the way. And incredible scenery we never would have seen if we hadn't taken the trip! Highly recommended!

The Waimea Canyon & Fern Grotto tour is a signature tour when visiting Kauai! Polynesian tours does a good job of connecting you with the core highlights of this most remarkable experience. Truly a memorable experience.

What an incredible experience this was! From the moment we checked in until we hopped out of our vehicles, the awesome guides and employees made this an adventure that I will remember forever! We were all given a thorough briefing on how to operate the vehicles and did a few test laps before heading out onto the open road. The ranch and the surrounding areas are so incredibly beautiful and there were just too many picture perfect opportunities for us. Since I don't drive, my friend was my chauffeur and it was definitely some rough off-roading sections that had us bouncing all over the place. We even got to see where Indiana Jones jumped into the river and flew off in the first movie! So neat! I seriously can't wait to go again on my next Kauai visit :)

Our guide, Michelle, did a wonderful job explaining the sites. While we travelled between sites, the movie clips on the bus were very entertaining!

We decided to go on the Hawaii Movie and TV Show tour. We had a blast. There were only 2 couples and we actually made a couple side stops. All the places we saw were great to learn about. And the beauty of it all was wonderful too.

Guide and tour was excellent however being dropped at a mall for lunch was extremely disappointing. I would have paid more to get a local experience

Fern grotto was a lovely trip down the river ending up at fern grotto was like a rain forest the whole experience was great the people were very knowledgeable and the boat cruise ack they sang all the way back and taught us to hula which was interesting

We were in Awe when we saw Waimea Canyon, most unforgettable sight so far and for the record we have seen Grand Canyon as well. the tour package itself is great, our driver is awesome forgot his name already ( sorry) he makes sure that each and everyone needs are met. Love the fact that we were picked up right in front of our hotel. I just wished tho that the Fern Grotto is as nice as in the pictureExtra treat that we also enjoy is the short hula performance...

This was the third time I had done the Koloa zipline . Our tour guides Chelsea and Jeff were great. They were highly enthusiastic and enjoy their jobs . As always it was kind of sad to finish the zip lining after so much fun

The Japanese tour was canceled due to a lack of participants. In a hurry, I searched and signed up for this tour. Everyone else was from English-speaking countries, and there were a few solo travelers as well. The comfortable bus that the tour advertised was indeed as described. It was equipped with air conditioning and was very comfortable. However, I think it would be difficult to enjoy this tour without a certain level of English proficiency. Also, since tips are not included in the participation fee, this might be a bit of a concern for Japanese participants. Other than that, the overall time allocation for the trip was well-organized, making it an excellent tour.

日本語でのツアーが参加者人数不足のため欠旅。急遽、探して申し込んだのが、このツアーでした。私以外、英語圏の参加者でした。一人参加の方も数名いました。このツアーの売りにしている、快適なバス⇒そのとおりでした。エアコン完備で、快適そのものでした。ただ、英語力ある程度ないと、このツアーを楽しむことが無理かと思います。あと、参加料にチップ含まれてないので、日本人にはその点がちょっと・・・って思われるかも。それ以外は、全体的な旅行の時間配分がしっかりしており、申し分ないツアーです。

Great tour as far as it went. The river cruise to Fern Grotto was cancelled due to high river levels. When people asked the driver about reimbursement for the cancelled cruise, he responded with some thing like, "You can phone the company and ask for a partial reimbursement, but don't get your hopes up if it doesn't happen." I think it indicates that the driver just wasn't properly informed about how to deal with the situation, Great driver otherwise, and full of lots of info. It would have been fun to talk with him in an informal setting.

I was scared at first but the tour guides were comforting. I had so much fun and they were so funny. Josh and Joe were our guides but Josh was our favorite. Don't tell Joe. They even made that classic 'time share' joke that never gets old on this island. Thank you guys so much! If I'm ever back here again, I'll be down for another adventure.

''This is the second time we have been on the Fern Grotto adventure. Beautiful place and you learn something too! Thank you for sharing your family history Smith Family.

Cave of the Cedars sightseeing boat tour <half-day / English guide>
During the 20-minute boat ride, there are hula dances and interactive dance activities, which are enjoyable. You will stay at the site for about 30-40 minutes. The spiritual atmosphere was nice.
I participated in the 9:30 AM tour, and the timing was just right for lunch afterward.

シダの洞窟観光遊覧船＜半日／英語ガイド＞
片道20分の船中で、フラダンスや参加型のダンスがあり、楽しめます。現地も滞在30-40分でしょうか。スピリチュアルな雰囲気で良かったです。
午前9:30のツアーに参加し、終わったらランチでちょうどいい時間配分でした。

This trip was terrible, expensive, and boring. With false advertisement. We were on time waiting for the bus, but it came an hour and thirty minutes later. It was ridiculous they called 3 times saying to be on time, but they were late themselves! Our guide was very bad. All he told us was the name of the attraction not the history. The bus was huge but his mic didn't work. All he had to do was change the batteries but even at a stop he didn't take the time to change them. He just was talking with other people. We could have done this with our own car and taken our time! PLEASE don't waste your money and time on this trip!!! Explore your self and take your time!!!!!!!!!

This was a very throw back to the past type of experience. Simple fun, nice people, old fashioned hospitality. The river is in full sun, would not recommend kayak option..not enough interesting flora along the way. Hula and Hawaiian music on the boat ride fun. Fern Grotto was devastated in 1992 and a shadow of it's former glory. Guide gave good local information in an entertaining sort of presentation. I'd take grandma and grandpa or very young kids on this tour.

We enjoyed the tour, however it was distracting to have the driver singing over the music video and playlist. No one in our group enjoyed that at all and would have rather heard local commentary, island history, or just the recorded artist's voice.
The canyon scenery, boat ride, and fern grotto were beautiful and amazing.

Smooth, interesting and all round pleasant ride to a beautiful place.

We had a great guide Wendy! Thanks for all the information on Kauai and the movies.

It was great to do hula dancing together on the return boat; everyone was friendly. The cost performance is outstanding.

帰りの船の中で、みんなでフラダンスなど、フレンドリーでよかったです。コストパフォーマンス抜群ですね。
