シダの洞窟 観光遊覧船 ハワイ唯一の航行可能な川を行く!<英語ガイド/半日>

It's hard to catch a taxi on the way back. 帰りのタクシーが捕まりにくい

Reviewed by: ume0418

Since I chose a tour without hotel pick-up, it's difficult to catch a taxi near the pier. I couldn't understand the explanations because I don't speak English, but I was able to enjoy the music and hula dancing. At the end, we all participated in a hula dance lesson and had the experience of trying it out.

ホテルまでの送迎がないツアーを選択したので、船着き場付近はタクシーが捕まりにくい
英語が分からないので、説明は理解出来なかったが音楽やフラダンスは感じることができた、最後に全員でフラダンスのレッスンを受けてやってみる体験をした

ナ・パリ・コースト クルージング&シュノーケリングツアー ラッキーレディ号<5時間/朝食・昼食付き/英語ガイド>

This is Kauai. これぞカウアイ

Reviewed by: 前世はパリに生まれた私

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。

Wailua River Kayak & Secret Falls Hike - Guided Kauai Adventure

Great Day!

Reviewed by: Great Day!

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!

Smiths Family Garden Luau in Kauai - Authentic Hawaiian Dinner & Show

Decent dinner and show

Reviewed by: Friendly staff and lovely setting

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

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。

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。

Tips and suggestions

My husband wore an aloha shirt, and I dressed up in a casual yet long dress. I was glad that most people were dressed nicely, so we didn't feel out of place.

Tips and suggestions

夫はアロハシャツ、私は、カジュアルだけどロングドレスで、お洒落していきました。
ほとんどの人が、お洒落して来られてて、場違いにならずによかったと思いました。
