Kauai
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.
This tour was the highlight of our trip. My 13 year old son and I had an awesome time. Our tour guide Amos was very knowledgeable, friendly, and my son talked about Amos and the hike the whole ride home. We will definitely do it again!
Was very exciting! Wish that the weather would have been better. Ended up windy,rainy and pretty cold. Glad we bought our coats, the other people had to have been freezing! Nobody's fault. Would go again but on a warmer less windy day. Very friendly and accommodating!
We are elated to hear it! Thank you so much for joining us out on the water! Mahalo and Aloha
I was looking for optional tours on Kauai Island and decided to go with this one since it was confirmed to operate in English only. We visited key spots in one day. The driver, who was also a guide (female), provided comfortable explanations, and the services on the bus made me feel secure participating alone. The restaurant we stopped at for lunch had a great view, and the food was delicious. The highlights were the Wailua River cruise and the fern grotto, where the hula show on the boat and in front of the grotto allowed me to experience Hawaii the most during this trip.
カウアイ島でのオプショナルツアーを探していたところ、英語のみですが催行が確約されているとのことで決めました。要所を1日で巡ります。
ドライバー兼ドライバー(女性)の説明や、バス内のサービスは快適で、一人でも安心して参加できました。
昼食で立ち寄ったお店は見晴らしがよく、料理も美味しかったです。
ハイライトはワイルア川クルーズとシダの洞窟で、船内と洞窟前でのフラショーは今回の旅行で最もハワイを体感できました。
We were able to reach the meeting point smoothly by rental car. As expected, we were the only Japanese couple there. During the ride in the Jeep, we had a brief introduction and it was fun to chat in broken Japanese. There was a guide as we walked to the waterway. We just floated down the waterway on large tubes, but there was a tunnel along the way where we turned on our helmet lights and floated through. While it wasn't thrilling, it was enjoyable to just float along with the current, which was a unique experience.
集合場所まではレンタカーですんなり行けました。
やはり、日本人は私達夫婦だけでした。ジープで移動中自己紹介的なことがありカタコトで話楽しかったです。水路に行くまで歩いてガイドもありました。大きなチューブに乗りぷかぷかと水路を浮いて下るだけですが、途中トンネルがありヘルメットのライトをつけて浮いていきました。スリル的なことはないですが、ぷかぷかと流れに任せるのも変わっていて、楽しかったです。
My thought was that a Luau was supposed to take place while eating the wonderful buffet food. At this Luau we sat down at long tables and did enjoy a delicious buffet. However, then we had to move to another location where they had bleacher seating, which was extremely uncomfortable. The show itself was just ok as it did not have a lot of spectacular associated with it. There was only one guy who did an act with fire. Most of it was just basic hula dancing and not what I would have expected. VERY uncomfortable seating and MEDIOCRE dancing. I would not recommend this Luau to any of my friends are family who may wish to visit Hawaii.
I was however pleased with Veltra tours and the professionalism and the call I received for verification of activities. Thank You.
Enjoyed the story. Great dansers. Our daughter loved the the "fire-danser".
The food was also very good.
Mahalo for the great show.
It was fun. Polite, professional staff,
Enjoyable performance; however the stop was somewhat short at fern Grotto.
Smith's Luau was awesome! We have already recommended it to some friends of ours who are going to Kauai!
River was calm. Performance was nice, but overall not so exciting. Won't do it again.
Really enjoyed the tour. Was personal and informative. Good views for everyone. Lots of georgous waterfalls, beaches and interior landscapes. Well worth the money. Only way to see the entire island!
Thanks so much for this nice review! We hope to see you again. Aloha from the Blue Crew!
Smith's was wonderful. It exceeded our expectations!
The dancers were excellent!! Loved the story line. The food and drinks were delicious!! Will definitely go back and would recommend your luau!
I was disappointed. I had been there about 4 years ago and the Fern Grotto was beautiful with lots of beautiful flowers to look at. It was so over grown you could hardly see the water fall. I also felt rushed, no time to admire the flowers that were there. I would not recommend this.
The Luau was excellent. The food was one of the best meals we had on the island. The show was extremely excellent. The grounds that the Luau was on are beautiful. Best of all the price was great.
I was disappointed that we could no longer go up to the fern area due to damage beyond the River Cruise control.
Smith's Luau was fantastic. As we entered, we took the tram ride around the grounds, during which we heard an excellent overview of information. We then had enough time to wander back through and read placards or take pictures of the beautiful scenery. Hearing about the imo and the roasted pig was really informative. The food at the luau was DELICIOUS! Especially the kalua pig. Yum! The show was also very good. Overall, a fantastic night. Highly recommended.
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!
We took this tour as a day trip from Kauai. We are very pleased with the service. The tour associates were very helpful in making sure that we made all our connections, before and during the day. The tour bus driver, Ed, was very informative and made sure that we had the best experience possible.
It is always awesome to see an island by air up close and personal. My niece had never been on a helicopter and was so impressed with Blue Hawaiian. I have been on many other helicopter rides but the new technology is impressive.
Aloha Gladys! Thanks so much for this review! We are so happy you enjoyed your flight! Please come see us again! Mahalo, The Blue Crew
I went to this Luau 27 years ago. I enjoyed it then and the updates and changes are incredible.
We'll worth it,very informative pilot,smooth flight,very professional.
Aloha Chris! Thanks so much for your review! We are so happy you enjoyed your flight. Mahalo, The Blue Crew
If you don't have a car or don't want to drive this is a great way to see the sights. Comfortible transportation and the bus driver was very nice and informative. Long day for us, 11 hours, because we were picked up in Princeville, better if picked up from Lihue or Poipu. No lunch is provided however they stop at a golf course in Poipu to eat in their restaurant, so prepare for that additional expense. Was a little disappointed with Fern Grotto, we've seen much nicer areas in the botanical gardens. Boat ride was fun! Might be too long a day for young children and teenagers, for us it would have been better to drive ourselves.
This was a very relaxing and fun float trip! Water was great, not cold at all! Tour guides were great too!
Actually seen something different from other luau's we been to in the past.
I really enjoyed this. The staff were friendly, but not pushy. Nobody tried to sell me something else or tried to get me to upgrade to something else. The boat ride was pleasant, scenic, and informative. The grotto is pretty, but I think the benefit is the boat ride, music, and hula demonstrations. I would definitely do this again.
Me and my 10 year old duaghter had a wonderful time tubing. I would recommend this adventure to anyone. Spence, our guide, did a wonderful job.
We have attended luaus on other islands and the show at this luau was not impressive. The grounds were amazing , beautiful picture opportunities ....and the food was delicious!!! We were not impressed with the show. The seating was stadium seating which was extremely uncomfortable. The show was not interactive with audience......I believe the "host" was pre-recorded?
Again.....we've been to other islands and have been to much better.
Our tour had no enthusiasm and excitement in his voice. The crew seemed like this was a task. The Hawaiian dancers were good, the singer was good.
Had been on the Fern Grotto tour a few years ago and was much better.
This is a good adventure but it's only a 45 minute tube ride. We started with a drive to a scenic spot for pictures then back in the vehicle for a ride to the ditch. We did a short nature walk then got our safety instruction. Finally, we got into the ditch for our ride. It was a lot of fun and going through the tunnels was great. The water moves you along pretty good so you will not need to paddle anywhere. It was just too quick of a ride! After the ride we had lunch. The meal was basic but good. We had a short ride back to the warehouse/office. If you want a relaxing excursion, then this is it, but not your best bang for your buck.
