ナ・パリ・コースト　サンセットクルージング＆シュノーケリングツアー　イミロア号＜4時間／6～8月／夕食付き／英語ガイド＞

The tour from the sea on a medium-sized boat is comfortable (with sunset included). 中型船での海からのツアーは快適（サンセット付）

Reviewed by: 水戸黄門

The Napali Coast tour on a medium-sized boat is highly recommended. Since the boarding time is long, a small boat lacks a roof and has limited restroom facilities. With a large boat, you can't get close to the cliffs, and the boat speed is slow. A medium-sized boat offers the best of both worlds. We were able to go right under the waterfalls cascading from the cliffs and experience the spray. The captain navigated the boat professionally, and the two female staff members kept the atmosphere lively with their smiles. When we gave tips upon disembarking, all the staff responded with "thank you" in Japanese. We were also very satisfied and enjoyed the long tour with smiles. I highly recommend it.

ナパリコーストは中型船でのツアーがおすすめ。乗船時間が長いので小型船だと屋根がなくトイレも限定的。大型船だと岩壁近くに近寄れず船速も遅い。中型船は良いとこ取りです。岩壁から流れ落ちる滝の真下に入ってくれて滝に打たれることが出来ました。船長はプロフェッショナルな船裁き、女性2名の添乗スタッフも笑顔で適切に盛り上げてくれました。チップを下船時に渡したら、全スタッフから「ありがとう」の日本語が返ってきました。こちらも笑顔で大満足で長いツアーを楽しめました。おすすめです。

The boat ride takes just under 30 minutes, followed by a stay of about 20 minutes in the fern cave, allowing you to rest and enjoy sightseeing. Kayak rentals are also available on this river, and it's a lot of fun to encounter many things while moving by boat.

伝統ルアウ＆フラ ハワイアンショー　ハワイ伝統の神聖儀式イム鑑賞付き＜ワイルア・マリーナ・ステート・パーク内／夕食付き＞

A warm luau show by the Smith family. 暖かいスミスファミリーさんのルアウショー。

Reviewed by: みやちゃん

This was my first time visiting Kauai, even though it was my ninth trip to Hawaii. It was the most enjoyable luau experience I've ever had.

First, after checking in, we were guided on a tram through the beautiful Smith's garden, which features peacocks and more. After that, we watched the imu ceremony and then had our meal.

During the meal, there was a band performance. A tall man who greeted us spoke to us in broken Japanese. He helped guide my husband and me, who were participating individually, to our seats. I later learned that he was Kamika Smith, the organizer. He went up on stage and sang beautifully, leaving us mesmerized. Mrs. Smith also welcomed us. After finishing our meal, we took a nice walk to the stage, which was just the right amount of exercise after eating. There was even a garden that resembled a Japanese garden. It was a beautiful garden.

I had read in the guidebook that the show included not only Hawaiian and Tahitian dances but also dances from other countries, such as New Zealand, Korea, China, Japan, and the Philippines. However, I discovered something when we got there. There were no Chinese or Korean guests that day; my husband and I were the only Asians. The Asian dance presented as a foreign dance was actually the Tokyo Ondo from Japan. I couldn't help but feel that the Smith family must have chosen the music based on where the attendees were from. Instead of Chinese or Korean dances, we had the Tokyo Ondo. I was deeply moved.

The food was delicious, and above all, I was so happy to have had a conversation with Kamika Smith himself and to experience the warm hospitality of the Smith family.

ハワイ9回目にして、初めてのカウアイ島。今まで体験したルアウ・ショーの中で、一番楽しめた体験でした。
　まず、チェックインしたあと孔雀などのいる美しいスミスさんの庭園をトラムで案内していただきます。そのあと、イムの儀式を見て、お食事になります。
　食事の間には、バンド演奏をしていただきます。声をかけてくださった背の高い男性が、片言の日本語で話しかけてくださいました。ツアーの人が多く、個人参加の私たち夫婦を彼が、席に案内してくださいました。日本に帰ってから知ったのですが、彼が、カミカ・スミスさんでした。主催者さんだったのです。彼は、ステージに上がり、歌われたのですが、うっとりするほど、お上手でした。スミス婦人も歓迎してくださいました。食事が終わったあと、ステージまで、歩いていきました。ちょうどいい食事の後の散歩タイムでした。日本庭園のようなものもありました。美しいお庭です。
　ショーは、ハワイアンやタヒチダンスだけでなく、他の国、ニュージーランドや韓国、中国、日本、フィリピンなど多国の踊りもあると事前にガイドブックで知っていましたが、行って初めて知ったことがあります。それは、当日のお客さんに中国や韓国の人はおられず、アジア人は私たち夫婦二人だけでした。外国の踊りとして披露いただいたアジアの踊りは、日本の東京音頭だったのです。スミスファミリーさんは、出席者がどこから来てるのかを見て、選曲されてるとしか思えなかったのです。中国、韓国の踊りでなく東京音頭だったのです。感激しました。
　食事も美味しかったし、何といってもカミカ・スミスさんご本人とお話しできたこと、温かいスミスファミリーのおもてなしに幸せな時間を過ごさせていただきました。

In memory of Elvis Presley. エルビスプレスリーを偲んで。

Reviewed by: みやちゃん

This is my first time visiting Kauai, even though it's my ninth trip to Hawaii. It's the filming location of Elvis Presley's movie "Blue Hawaii." Memories of my youth come rushing back. I've always wanted to visit here, so I'm overwhelmed with emotion.

I came with my husband, and we are a couple aged 70 and 69. It's said that couples who visit here will find happiness. We took a boat tour that lasted 1 hour and 20 minutes round trip. At the fern cave, we landed and enjoyed hula dancing and music.

There were only two other families of Japanese couples and their daughters who were around the same age as us. Although everything was in English, we had no trouble communicating.

It was a romantic and sacred-feeling place. I tried to upload photos, but unfortunately, I couldn't.

Wailua River Kayak & Secret Falls Hike - Guided Kauai Adventure

Awesome

Reviewed by: Sumsiontk

This excursion is a must do. The views were incredible. It does take time to get there, 2 mile row in after which you hike for about 1.25 miles to the falls. The guide told us some great facts about the area. They teach you how to paddle if you have never done that before. You do have to cross the river and depending on the rainfall, it can be deep. This is mildly strenuous, you will be walking on uneven ground with rocks and cross a river, good water/hiking shoes a must. You will need to help carry the kayaks to the water and back, not very long and there are usually 4 people to a kayak to carry. Part of the trail does have wood planks to walk on, but the first part of the trail does not. It was beautiful and the falls were full when we got to the top, not always the case, depends on the amount of rainfall they have had. Highly recommend.

ナ・パリ・コースト　サンセットクルージング　ラッキーレディ号＜5.5時間／夕食付き／英語ガイド＞

It was a wonderful experience! 素晴らしい体験です！

Reviewed by: みやちゃん

We are an elderly couple, 70 and 69 years old. We were the only Japanese people on board. This was our ninth trip to Hawaii, and our first time on Kauai. Since we were here, we wanted to see the Na Pali Coast, so we decided to join the tour.

To be honest, I was worried about getting seasick. About 30 minutes before boarding, I took an old seasickness tablet from T Pharmaceutical that I brought from Japan (the kind you can take without water). Thanks to that, I didn't feel sick at all and was able to enjoy the cruise comfortably. There were about six people who did feel sick. I think if I hadn't taken the seasickness medication, I definitely would have gotten sick. The cruise was comfortable, but it did sway quite a bit, similar to the Viking ride at a Japanese amusement park.

We talked with my husband, saying, "I'm glad we came," while enjoying the beautiful scenery. The sunset was cloudy, but we could still see it reasonably well. The food was delicious too. Besides the captain, there were two friendly staff members, a nice young man and a beautiful young woman, who were all very kind. Perhaps because of my age, whenever I tried to move around the boat, they would come right away to help me. My English isn't very good, but I didn't have any particular problems. My husband chatted happily with a gentleman from the mainland who was sitting next to him, and everyone there was very friendly.

We participated on May 10th, and we were able to see whales. Everyone was thrilled and shouting. Additionally, there was a rainbow over the Na Pali Coast, making it the best cruise ever.

I highly recommend participating. The Lucky Lady is a larger cruiser, so it felt safe. I'm really glad we joined.

　70才と69才の老夫婦です。日本人は、私たちだけでした。ハワイ9回目にして、初めてのカウアイ島。せっかくなのでナ・パリ・コーストは、見ておきたいと参加しました。
　正直なところ、船酔いしないかと心配していました。船に乗る30分前に日本から持ってきた昔からある、T製薬の酔い止めの錠剤S（水なしで飲めるもの）を口に含んで乗船しました。そのお陰で、全く酔わず、快適にクルージングを楽しむことができました。酔っている人も6人位いました。多分、酔い止めを飲んでいなかったら、絶対、酔っていたと思います。快適なクルージングですが、かなり揺れます。日本の遊園地のバイキングのような揺れ方です。
　美しい風景に、夫と「来てよかったね」と話し合ってました。サンセットは、曇っていましたが、それなりに見えました。食事も美味しかったです。スタッフは、船長以外に優しいお兄さんと綺麗なお姉さんが二人、皆さん、親切にしてくださいました。私が高齢なのでしょうか、船の中を移動しようとすると、すぐ来て、手をかしてくれました。英語も得意ではありませんが、特に問題なかったです。夫は、隣に座っていた本土からみえた米国の紳士と仲良くお喋りしたり、その場にいた人々が、皆わきあいあいとしてました。
　参加したのは5月10日でしたが、クジラを見ることができました。皆、感激して叫んでいました。また、ナ・パリ・コーストに虹がかかって、最高のクルージングになりました。
是非、参加してください。このラッキーレディ号は、大きめのクルーザーなので、安心でした。本当に参加してよかったです。
