It was the end of September, and the north wind was strong with some swells. The boat didn't sway much while it was moving, but it rocked quite a bit when it slowed down. Conversely, when it sped up, splashes would come up every time it cut through the waves, and if you were sitting outside, your backside would get wet. It wasn't cold, but I thought it would have been better to have a towel ready. All the explanations were in English, but I managed. The meal on the way back was a platter mainly consisting of tacos, and some people piled it high. It was a bit of a disappointing menu. I was able to have one drink. You shouldn't expect much from the sunset; it sets right behind Niihau Island.
9月の終わりでした、北風が強くうねりもあります。船が進んでいるときはそれほど揺れませんでしたが速度を落とすとかなり揺れました、逆に速くなったら波を切るたびに飛沫が飛んできます、外に座っていたらお尻が濡れてしまいました。寒くはありませんでしたがタオルを用意したほうが良かったと思いました。説明は全て英語によるものでしたが何とかなりました。帰りながらの食事でしたがタコスを基本とした盛合せで一杯に盛り付ける人もいました。ちょっと残念なメニューです。アルコールは一杯頂けました。夕日は期待しないほうがいいです。丁度ニイハウ島に沈みます。
The meeting time was around 1 PM, but there was no need to arrive early. By this time, the morning course participants were returning, and the parking lot started to become available.
集合時間が13時頃になっていましたが早く行く必要はありませんでした。この時間になると午前中のコースが戻って来て駐車場が空いてきました。

Our tour at Kipu Ranch in Kauai was absolutely unforgettable! From start to finish, the experience was filled with breathtaking scenery, exciting trails, and the kind of adventure you only dream about when you picture Hawaii. 🌴✨
The guides were incredible—knowledgeable, funny, and made us feel safe the whole way while still letting us enjoy the thrill of the ride. We explored lush valleys, rugged hillsides, and even movie-worthy backdrops that took our breath away. 🚙💨 Everywhere we turned was like stepping into a postcard.
What really stood out was how much we learned along the way—about Kauai’s history, the culture, and the land itself. It wasn’t just an adrenaline rush; it was a deeper connection to the island.
If you’re visiting Kauai, don’t miss this adventure. Whether you’re here for the views, the excitement, or just want to experience the island in a unique way, Kipu Ranch delivers it all. Highly recommend—it was truly the highlight of our trip! 🌺🌊🌈

You can't enter the cave, but they will take you close to the entrance. On the boat, and of course in front of the cave, they provide wonderful performances and hula dancing. It was pleasant to enjoy the sightseeing boat while being blown by a refreshing breeze.

This excursion was good fun for even us 66-70 year olds gals. Loved Sophia our leader with her historic references and information. The tubing had both relaxed but quick moving parts along with tunnels where it’s a bit like twirling bumper cars. Lots of laughing along the way. Depth is approximately 3-4 feet deep. The guides stayed with us and quickly fixed any bottle neck problems. Will do this again next with my husband and daughter.
Recommend wearing long sleeve “rash” guard type water shirt and swim shorts for comfort.

The boat was very bare bones and not fancy. Like I say, you get what you pay for. We have taken a more expensive NaPali coast snorkeling trip in a very nice boat but I was okay with paying less and having a smaller, less plushy boat so we could go deeper in the sea caves; however, we never even stopped to snorkel. I had to ask because we were never even told why we didn’t snorkel. They said it was too windy. I’m not sure I believed them. We did stop on the way back to jump in if we wanted. You pay the same whether you get to snorkel or not. I guess we should have booked the morning tour. Maybe chances of snorkeling are better. Next time I’d pay more for a comfy boat, with more room.
Take the morning time slot for better chance of snorkeling.

I heard that a Black pilot has also been to Japan and visited some niche tourist spots there. I sincerely apologize if this is perceived as racial discrimination, but I was pleasantly surprised to hear a Black person speaking Japanese honorifics so smoothly. The piloting was also careful, and I felt safe during the flight. If you are visiting Kauai, I highly recommend this tour.

Everything was comfortable. All the crew members were full of hospitality, the boat was lovely, and they provided just the right amount of guidance with the morning snacks, lunch, and drinks.
By chance, before boarding the boat, I saw an eagle ray gracefully swimming, and I was able to see turtles and dolphins up close. And above all, the breathtaking Na Pali Coast was right in front of me. This is what it means to be at a loss for words. I've been to Oahu, Maui, and the Big Island many times, but Kauai is likely to become my favorite island in the Hawaiian archipelago.
全てが快適でした。全てのクルーはホスピタリティに溢れていて、ボートも素敵で、朝の軽食、ランチ、ドリンクと過不足なく案内してくれました。
偶然にもボートに乗る前にイーグルレイが優雅に泳いでいるのを見たほか、タートル、ドルフィンと間近に見ることができました。そして何より圧巻が目の前に迫るナパリコースト。言葉を失うとはこういうことを言うのですね。オアフ、マウイ、ハワイ島は何度も行っていますが、カウアイ島はハワイ諸島の中でも一番好きな島になりそうです。
Even if the weather is nice, the boat can experience quite a bit of wave action, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication in advance.

A very fun adventure. Beautiful kayak trip on the Wailua River. The river was very calm and both ways were fairly easy to traverse. A little bit of wind on the way back made it a tiny bit more difficult but not much. The hike was fun. The last part gets a bit technical due to large wet rocks and such and being a bit older slowed us down some especially on the way back. Our guide, Harrison, was fantastic and helped us through the short area that was really difficult. The falls are majestic and I feel so lucky to have been there. It was a great day!
You will be very wet. Bring extra clothes.
Aloha Great Day,
Glad to hear that Harrison helped you have yet another Great Day on our Wailua River paddle and hike to the falls.
Thank you for warning folks that the road to paradise can be strewn with some wet rocks and some contrary winds, which is doable by most.
Keep reaching and searching for waterfalls and we are please do have helped you have another great day.

We recently attended the dinner show and overall, it was a very decent experience—definitely worth checking out at least once. It came highly recommended, and while parts lived up to the reviews, I did leave feeling slightly underwhelmed in a few areas.
The food was decent, but my family and I were hoping for more traditional Hawaiian dishes. I was especially looking forward to laulau and Hawaiian mac salad, which weren’t on the menu. While the meal was fine, it didn’t quite match the authenticity I’ve experienced at other luaus on different islands. That said, the piña colada was excellent!
The pre-show, including the unearthing of the pig, wasn’t quite what I expected, but the grounds were absolutely beautiful—immaculately maintained and fun to walk through, especially with the live animals.
Every staff member we encountered was warm and welcoming. The Smith family did a great job hosting, and the main host was especially entertaining and engaging. Their humor and hospitality were highlights of the evening
