Since watching Jurassic Park, I had always wanted to visit the Na Pali Coast. However, my expectations were too high, and I was a bit disappointed. My daughters, who joined me, seemed to have a great time and were very excited. The crew members were also very kind, which was nice.
ジュラシックパークを見て以来いつかはきたいと思っていたナパリコースト。妄想が膨らみすぎてガッカリだった。一緒に参加した娘たちは大はしゃぎでとても楽しかったみたいです。クルーの方もとても親切でよかったです。
私たちは、あなたがこれから何年も振り返る思い出の一部になれることをとても嬉しく思います！Holo Holo Chartersを選んでいただき、素晴らしい時間を過ごされたことを教えていただきありがとうございます！またお会いするまで… マハロとアロハ。

The scenery wasn't as impressive as I expected, but I was able to see whales in the distance. The staff were very good.
思ったほどの景色ではありませんでしたが、鯨を遠くに見ることができました。スタッフの方々はとてもよかったです。
私たちはあなたが水上に出てくれたことを嬉しく思いますが、ナパリコーストの景色に失望されたと聞いて残念です。マハロとアロハ。
We are glad to have had you out on the water, but are sorry to hear that you were disappointed in the view of the Napali Coast. Mahalo and Aloha

We were so impressed with the staff, facilities, equipment and respect for the land at Kipu Ranch Adventures. Our guide Josh and his "tailgunner" Chase did and outstanding job. Josh, though not a native Hawaiian has been on the Island for 18 years and is quite a historian on this region. It was such a pleasure watching his enthusiasm for preserving the history and ambiance of this beautiful land.
The Rice Family who owns this property is blessed to have Kipu Ranch Adventures here to protect this land and inspire each of us to promote the protection of this historical property. Thank you to Kipu Ranch and the Rice Family, we had a wonderful visit and will be back soon.
Our whole party of six was pleasantly surprised by the Smith's Family Garden Luau. We have been to other luaus and this rates as the best so far. The grounds are beautiful! The food and service was excellent! The staff were very friendly. The dinner entertainment was nice and the after dinner show was very good and informative of Hawaiian cultural history.
Juan was a great driver and tour guide. I left a couple of shirts I purchased on the bus and Juan brought them to our hotel. Great guy!
Excellent organization of the trip, nice music and dance, very impressive walk to fern grotto. All-in-one: Beautiful trip worth the money
We got to kayak down the Wailua River. Jay our guide was amazing. He told us about historical information about the beautiful island of Kauai and it’s history. Our hike to the waterfall was deep in the interior and he pointed out plants and trees and gave us history and background about them. He was patient and very friendly. Our swim in the falls was something on my bucket list and was definitely what I was expecting and more! Thank you to Jay and everyone at Kayak Kauai!
Aloha Pilar,
Glad to hear that not only that Jay did a great job guiding but that he help lighten "your bucket".
Keep filling up that bucket and thanks for letting others know what a good job Jay is doing; we are very
fortunate to have him on board.
A hui hou,

The eight year old who still lives in this 60-year-old heart of mine adored the whole adventure. Not because it was simple, but because we got to have an experience floating down an irrigation flume through tunnels and exotic beauty. It felt a little bit like we were getting away with something. Also, our guides - Cody and Justin - were funny and friendly and kept us perfectly safe the whole time. My advice is to go in the morning so you get in on the picnic at the end of the adventure. A beautiful setting in which to rest and refresh.
This was my first trip to Hawaii and my first Luau. The Smith family did an amazing job. The food was delicious and the show was outstanding. Highly recommend!
It was really fun!!! The tour guides were awesome as well! It was just a bit shorter than I thought originally but still very worth it!!
This is a must do tour when in Kauai! Cinzia and Rich were the best tour guides also. We laughed, qe saw wonderful scenery, enjoyed the caves and had a blast in the tubes!
Tubing is the greatest experience on Kaua'i! Would recommend it to anyone.
The grounds of the Smith Family Luau are beautiful, kept up well. The unearthing of the pig was a great experience. The food, well, it was okay, nothing special. The mai tai's were a funny brown color, not sure what juice was in it. The best part was the show. The music and dancers were amazing! So happy we were able to see it.
The guides were very knowledgeable and kept things fun! The views were beautiful and the history behind the tunnels is interesting! Wasn't sure about the tunnels at first since I am claustrophobic but they were spacious and I didn't have any issues. Would definately do again! Recommend for all families and couples.
Wonderful experience! Our guide Dustin was amazing and shared interesting history of Hawaii. Well worth it! We'd do it again!
Aloha Trish,
Dustin is a legend in his own mind...but then maybe, given your review, he is a legend. Thanks for sharing and confirming what we all knew at Kayak Kaua'i, i.e. that Dusting rocks.
Until our wakes or trail meet.

We had a great time on this snorkel cruise! The Na Pali Coast is gorgeous and our crew made the experience that much better by being so friendly and accommodating. They were right there if you needed anything, ready to answer any questions you had and give background information on the island, and were even offering to take pictures for you. We were fortunate to get to see so much marine life from the boat--dolphins, whales, sea turtles, manta rays, and a baby octopus. The only downside is that we wish we could have snorkeled for a longer period of time (because we love it!). The ride back to Kauai from Niihau was definitely rough, but we took Dramamine beforehand and wore sea bands, which all seemed to help. The crew definitely lightened the mood with jokes and took efficient care of those unfortunate few who got sick. We would definitely recommend this excursion!
You've left us with all the feels! Thank you so much for choosing to join us here at Holo Holo Charters and for your unforgettable review! We couldn't be happier knowing how much you enjoyed it! Mahalo and Aloha
The boat felt a little outdated but the staff and the scenery made up for it. Our girls had fun riding the boat, watching the hula dancers, and learning about some history.
Our very first helicopter ride could not have been better. Three days later we're still in awe! Thank you, Pilot Marty, for a smooth, humorous, and informative ride.
We had a wonderful time. The tour guide is very knowledgeable and he took the effort to know everyone's name and show great customer service. The whole tour he was all smiles and friendly making you feel great throughout the tour.
The approaching Na Pali Coast was nothing short of breathtaking, far more impressive than what you see in videos. Returning to port while watching the sunset was a truly fulfilling experience. The captain and the crew were very kind, and even though I couldn't speak English, their consideration allowed me to relax. The meals were satisfying, with unlimited tacos and alcohol.
迫りくるナ・パリ・コーストは迫力以外の何物でもなく、映像で見るものとは
比べられないくらい大迫力でした。
夕陽を見ながらの帰港も心が満たされる時間でした。
キャプテンをはじめ、クルーの皆さんはとても親切で
英語が話せない自分も彼らの気遣いで緊張しないで過ごせました。
お食事もタコスとアルコール飲み放題で満足です。
私たちはそれを聞いてこれ以上幸せになることはありません！素晴らしいレビューを本当にありがとうございます！マハロとアロハ
We couldn't be happier to hear it! Thank you so much for your wonderful review! Mahalo and Aloha

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。

This tour was simply amazing!! Our pilot JT was experienced and knowledgeable. He put all of our fears at ease. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The aerial views of the Na Pali Coast took my breath away. I recommend this tour to everyone who wants to see all the beauty of Kauai. It was truly worth every penny.
This airplane tour was perfect from start to finish. The friendly staff was very helpful and accommodating. Our pilot JT was very knowledgeable and entertaining. He put all of our fears at ease. The one hour plus flight allowed us to see all of Kauai coasts. We saw many waterfalls, the Pacific Grand Canyon and the beautiful Na Pali Coast. It literally took my breath away!!! I highly recommend this tour to everyone!! Mahalo!!
On this tour my newlywed wife learned how to drive an ATV, a lot about Kaua’i history, and we got to see where Indiana Jones did his famous rope swing. She is now researching new ATV adventures for us to explore. Giggles and Owen were wonderful tour guides and very gracious. We highly recommend this tour.
We had a fantastic time at the luau. Delicious food and a fabulous show. This is a must do on Kauai. The gardens are also beautiful and includes a guided tram ride thru them. Great service. Loved the transportation to the luau and home.
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。

It was wasted money. We drove with the guides 45min to Hanalei. There we walked relatively long along the public beach to the kayaks and started to kayak in the river next corner. Nothing spectacular and you can see everything from the road. After about 1 hour kayaking they brought us to a dead reef in front of a hotel where you can go by yourself as well.
Aloha Thilo,
Sorry to hear that our Hanalei Blue Lagoon paddle and snorkel did not meet expectations.
Many folks enjoy not only the scenic drive by van up to Hanalei but also the short hike along beautiful Hanalei Bay to the staging area; not to mention the paddle/snorkel and panorama that surrounds magical Hanalei.
We are there for folks that choose to rent and go un-guided versus those who want to and maximize their time.
Thanks for sharing and Happy Holidays.
A hui hou,
Micco
There is no other way to see Kauai than from
above. There is so much of the island you can only see from above. I highly recommend doing it. This is our 2nd time here but 1st time seeing it from above. It is totally worth the money. Plus they are the only ones that let my 6 yr old on. After the ride, my wife and I looked at each other and couldn’t believe no other helicopter rides allowed him on it.
The weather was bad the day before, and it was raining in the morning on the day of the trip, so I participated with the feeling that it would be lucky if we could see anything at all. However, by the time we arrived at the Napali Coast, the weather improved, and we were able to enjoy the stunning views.
On the way, we even got to see dolphins, which was amazing. Cruising while watching the changing scenery was fantastic, and on the way back, we enjoyed a champagne service while watching the sunset, making for a perfect time.
Thank you very much.
前の日の天気が悪く、当日も午前中は雨が降っていたので、少しでも見れたらラッキーという気持ちで参加しましたが、ナパリコーストに到着した時には天気も良くなり最高の景色を堪能することができました。
行く途中、イルカにも会うことができ最高でした。
変わりゆく景色を見ながらのクルージングも最高で、帰りにサンセットを見ながらシャンパンのサービスもあり最高の時間でした。
ありがとうございました。
