We enjoyed the beautiful scenery and narrative. Disappointed that we couldn’t go to cave,just on platform for a look.
Did this tour years ago and got to sit up in caves and was more impressive..

The boat was interesting. The hula dance experience on the way back improved the overall tour. It was hard to enjoy the Fern Grove because you are crowded with many people.

A warm and welcoming crew

Reviewed by: Lesli Takasugi

This was our first time visiting the lovely Fern Grotto, and we had a wonderful time. The crew were so sweet, especially with our daughter who got into one of the local plants that made her cry and tongue swell. They performed hula and sang beautifully, playing to the children on board. We highly recommend this short river boat ride for families with young kids.

The Smith's family is awesome and entertaining. Wear mosquito repellent when going, just a taught. They sing and entertain as you travel up the fern grotto and had us all doing the hoki pokie. We will be doing their luau too so we'll let you know how it goes!

Ok.

Reviewed by: Deb D

Relatively inexpensive way to see some of the river greenery. Appreciated the history/culture narration. Lead entertainer on the way back was funny! Hula ladies don’t really seem into it, you feel like they are just doing a job and don’t necessarily enjoy it, and they seemed tired. Fern grotto a beautiful site.

A romantic river rendezvous

Reviewed by: MsTravelGal

Wedding ceremonies have been held at the fern grotto for decades. It's a historic and beautiful spot to get married or renew your vows. We didn't know this before arriving but it was a special surprise since my fiance proposed the day before. The cruise to the fern grotto was the perfect way to end our vacation in Kauai. Even if you're not going for a wedding, you'll get to hear and watch Hawaiian singers and musicians perform a traditional Hawaiian wedding song. So whether you're celebrating an engagement, a honeymoon, or 50 years of marriage, this beautiful destination will fill your heart with love. I'm so glad we did this tour!

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>

The Cedar Cave for the first time in 43 years. 43年ぶりのシダの洞窟

Reviewed by: yokochan

I have visited Oahu and Hawaii Island many times, but this summer I went to Kauai for the first time in 43 years. I don't have any memories from back then, but it's a shame that you can't enter the caves now. Still, the area around the caves is full of atmosphere, and the boat tour was quite enjoyable with various activities.

オアフ島やハワイ島は何度も訪れていますが、今夏43年ぶりにカウアイ島に行ってきました。
当時の記憶は全然ないのですが、今は洞窟内に入れないのが残念ですね。
それでも洞窟周囲は雰囲気たっぷりですし、船上でもイロイロ楽しませてくれて、なかなか楽しいツアーでした。

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>

The tour of the Wailua River on Kauai Island was amazing. (It was all in English, but that didn't bother me.) カウアイ島のワイルア川の遊覧は最高でした。(すべて英語ガイドでしたが、気になりませんよ。)

Reviewed by: 道産子

Most of the passengers were from Europe and America, but we leisurely floated down the Wailua River. Onboard, there was a hula performance accompanied by Hawaiian songs played on the ukulele, which engaged the passengers in dancing and made for a fun experience. After disembarking, the "Fern Grotto" was just a few minutes away. It seems that in the past, visitors could enter the grotto, but now the view is only from the deck area in front, which was a bit disappointing, yet we still enjoyed it thoroughly. On the way back, we spent about an hour and a half, taking in the scenery and encountering canoes navigating the Kailua River. Since it was an early morning departure, it was just the right time to head out for lunch afterward. As it was my first time on Kauai, I think this is a recommended option.

乗客殆どが欧米人ばかりでしたが、ワイルア川をゆったりと下り、シダの洞窟までの船内はウクレレ演奏によるハワイアンソングでのフラショ-があり、乗船客を巻き込んでの踊りもあり楽しませてくれました。下船後の「シダの洞窟」は数分で着く場所にあり、以前は中に入れたようですが、現在は手前のデッキ広場からの眺めになり、少し残念ではありますが、十分に堪能出来ました。帰りは外の景色を眺めながら、カイルア川を行き来するカヌーと遭遇しながらの行程で約1時間半くらいの時間でした。朝一の出航だったので、終わると昼食に出掛けるのに丁度良い時間でしたよ。初カウアイ島だったので、おすすめのオプションだと思います。
