All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

I had never been in a helicopter before so I was a little nervous. There was a bit of confusion on my reservation,(they had the wrong date) but the voucher was correct and soon straightened out. Blue Hawaiian has a very nice facility, an actual building not like some others using tents. The helicopter was very clean and up to date. The pilot, Mark, did a great job of narrating the entire time. Now for the view, spectacular is the best word to describe it. Most of the island is not able to be seen via car or even boat. The only real way to see it is by air and Blue Hawaiian puts you right up and personal to most of mountains, craters, valleys and waterfalls. I had the time of my life and would do it again, no question. If you are considering a helicopter adventure don't wait, just do it you'll be glad. Veltra's voucher was accepted. Thanks to Veltra and Blue Hawaiian for making my dream vacation complete.

My wife and I both enjoyed the luau at Smiths. The grounds are beautiful and the facilities are well maintained. The friendly family service provided by the Smiths was first rate. The food at the luau was incredible and plentiful. Open bar lasted about 1 1/2 hours featuring "mai tais" and beer. The luau show had a very real feel to, not like a "Hollywood" production and was fantastic. They accepted the Veltra voucher without any question. Loved the experience. Thanks to the Smith family and Veltra.

Wow what a great time. The crew of Kauai Back Country where absolutely the best. They entertained us from our first arrival to our return. They made sure we were all safe and that our adventure was maximized. We highly recommend this adventure for everyone and looking forward to a return trip. Thanks To the the entire 05.20.17 10:00 AM Back Country crew for helping to make this a memorable vacation.

It was beautiful site seeing. The caves were awesome and going through a natural waterfall was amazing. Then we were lucky to snorkeling around the forbidden island. On are way back we got to see a seal,dolphins,sharks, and whales. We were so lucky! Thank you for an amazing time!

The guides Eli and Josh were great! We had an amazing time! The caves were spectacular! The tubing was fun and being in the dark was cool! Thanks again, I will be back for sure.

Thank you so much! Had a great time! The guide Philip was great!

Best way to see all the highlights of Kauai! Incredible scenery...top notch helicopters too!

We enjoyed the tour, however it was distracting to have the driver singing over the music video and playlist. No one in our group enjoyed that at all and would have rather heard local commentary, island history, or just the recorded artist's voice.
The canyon scenery, boat ride, and fern grotto were beautiful and amazing.

Didn't expect the tropical garden setting. Didn't expect dinner with live music and then the show.
Pleasantly surprised at the subtle differences to others I've been too. Made me sit up and actually really take notice.
Thoroughly enjoyed everything and would recommend this Luau by far.

Smooth, interesting and all round pleasant ride to a beautiful place.

We had a great guide Wendy! Thanks for all the information on Kauai and the movies.

It was great to do hula dancing together on the return boat; everyone was friendly. The cost performance is outstanding.

帰りの船の中で、みんなでフラダンスなど、フレンドリーでよかったです。コストパフォーマンス抜群ですね。

There was a mixup with our reservation. We reserved through Veltra for a Thursday. Veltra confirmed that it was for Thursday. We showed up and no one was there. We called Kauai Outfitters who let us know that we were on the books for Friday. I contacted Veltra afterwards and they apologized and offered a partial refund, which I appreciate. I would suggest calling Kauai Outfitters to double check that the dates are right, to be on the safe side.

We went back on Friday and had a great time. The guides were wonderful. The tour was great. The zip line was so amazing. We were bitten by mosquitoes, so bring bug spray. We were in a small group of 10 people and 4 guides, so it was a personalized experience and we had tons of time to talk to the guides. We would definitely do another tour with Kauai Outfitters.

There are bags available on board in case you feel nauseous, and they also provide instructions on how to deal with motion sickness before the flight. So, for those who are sensitive, I think taking motion sickness medication would make for a more comfortable journey in the sky.

To be honest, it does shake quite a bit, and although the sensation is brief, it feels like a roller coaster several times. I was able to enjoy my time without any issues, taking in the views of Kauai Island from above.

However, for someone like me with very low English comprehension, I understood about 90% of the guide's explanations (laughs). Putting aside my lack of knowledge, I think I would have enjoyed it even more if there had been a Japanese brochure for Kauai Island.

機内に酔った時のために袋が常備されていますし、飛ぶ前の説明でも酔った時の対処方法を教えられます。なので弱い方は酔い止めを飲まれたほうが快適に空の旅を過ごせると思います。
正直けっこう揺れますし、ジェットコースターのような感覚が短いですが何度もあります。
私は問題なく快適に過ごせましたので、空から見るカウアイ島を満喫できました。
ただ英語の理解能力が非常に低い私にとって、ガイドの方の説明は90％分かりませんでした　（笑）
自分の教養のなさを棚に上げますが、カウアイ島の日本語パンフレットがあればもっと楽しめたかな。

Who could pass up a tradition of Hawaiian tourism that has been in operation since 1947?! The Smith family was awesome. They were very friendly and kind. We were fortunate to be on the first boat of the day and in a small group. The morning was cool yet very comfortable. While we waited for our tour to start, the on-board talented trio of musicians were taking requests, joking and visiting with the passengers. Once on the river, the captain gave us an overview of the points of interests along the way as we passed stand-up-paddle boarders and kayakers enjoying the quiet river too. We were treated to a beautiful hula demonstration, native music and an improv hula lesson! After a short walk to the grotto, our "guide" explained some of the history and folk lore about the grotto, afterwards, they sang the Hawaiian Wedding song to us. It would be fun to go back again!

The view of the remote ocean that can only be seen from the sky is unique to helicopters. It feels like catching a glimpse of the primordial Earth, and it's wonderful.

Unfortunately, I ended up sitting on the inside of the back seat, but the person in the front row was almost in a tank top, so their skin reflected on the glass and appeared in all my photos. I would appreciate it if the front row passengers could be given black jackets, as other companies do, for consideration.

空からでないと見られない絶海はヘリならでは。
原始地球を垣間見たようで、素晴らしい。

運悪く後部座席の中側になってしまったが、前列の人がタンクトップに近い状態だったので、肌がガラスに反射して全ての写真に写り込んだ。前列の人には、他社が行っているように、黒色のジャケットを着せるなど、配慮が欲しい。

In front of the cave of the ferns, I was able to see a Hawaiian wedding song and a solemn hula dance. On the return boat, there were five Japanese people, so they provided a service of Japanese songs and performed hula dances. At the end, everyone had a hula lesson, and we all danced together in the small boat. I was really into the song we learned! It was a satisfying tour!

シダの洞窟前で、ハワイアンウェディングの歌と、厳かなフラダンスを
見る事が出来ました。そして、帰りの舟の中では　ウクレレや日本人が５名いたので日本の歌のサービス、フラダンスを踊ってくれたのです、最後は全員にフラのレッスン、みんなで狭い舟中で踊りました。習った曲だった私はノリノリ！満足！のツアーでした。

My boyfriend and I had a blast. It was so much fun!

It was lots of fun and informative. The staff was really nice and it was a very kid friendly adventure

Highly recommend this tubing adventure. Our guides Johnny and Kai were amazing story tellers and hosts. For a 71 year old husband and wife and family of 20 and 30 year old's this was one of the high lights of our trip on Kauai. We were also surprised and was the rest of the tour group to have witnessed the long fabled Ditch Monster. Fleeting it was but seen non the less. The picnic at the end, while short in duration was a good end to the adventure.

This wasn't nearly as exciting as I had hoped. I wanted it to be more energetic and intense, but it was actually very calm and relaxing. Our guide Lucky was absolutely terrific! The staff was fun, I really enjoyed everything they told us about the island, they were very knowledgeable and helpful.

The kayaking part was nice, not too difficult. The hike was a nice hike, not quite a casual walk down a straight path but also not too difficult. I enjoyed having our guide Jesse there to explain things to us as we hiked, he was a good guide. He got stuck talking to just one individual of our group a few times and it was hard to hear what he was saying sometimes. The waterfall was nice, there were a lot of boulders in the water so be careful! Lots of other people from other tours on the same path made it a bit crowded.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Na Pali Coast Sunset Cruise. We boarded in the afternoon, and the weather was perfect with no wind, making for ideal conditions as we set sail!

Along the way, we encountered a pod of dolphins that came right under the boat. We also spotted a whale in the distance. As we approached the Na Pali Coast, the stunning cliffs came into view, and I was in awe of the natural scenery. The dinner on the boat on the way back was also fantastic!

Just before we arrived at the harbor, the sunset behind the boat was breathtaking. I highly recommend experiencing this and enjoying the beauty of nature!

ナ・パリ・コーストサンセットクルーズを満喫しました。午後からの乗船で天候もよく風もなくて絶好のコンディションでいざ出港!
途中でイルカの群れに遭遇して船の下までやって来ました。少し遠くでしたが、クジラも見る事が出来ました。ナ・パリ・コーストに近づくに連れて断崖絶壁の風景が近くに見え大自然の景色に満喫しました。帰りは船の上でのディナーも最高でした‼
港に着く少し前には船の後ろに沈む夕陽は最高でした。是非体験して大自然を満喫して下さい。

It was good
, but seemed better in years past
The dancing was nice pictures were a little bit to expensive

On the day of the trip, unfortunately, the wind was strong, and the planned course was changed. Because of this, I couldn't reach the long-awaited Na Pali Coast (cry). I received an explanation beforehand, but I wasn't fully aware of the details when we set sail. We also departed about 40 minutes late. Once we got out to sea, we encountered a sea turtle, and shortly after that, we saw a humpback whale... Since one of my other goals for this trip was whale watching, that was still good. I was overwhelmed by the sight of the whale breaching repeatedly, and the three hours flew by. The finale was a cruise while watching the sunset with a pod of dolphins... There were unlimited drinks and light meals, and I enjoyed it thoroughly. However, since it was a meal on a small boat, you shouldn't have too high expectations... Next time, I definitely want to make it to the Na Pali Coast!

当日は生憎風が強く予定されていたコースが変更されました。　このため念願のナ・パリ・コーストまではたどりつけず（泣）　事前に説明を受けましたが、詳しくは把握できないまま出航。出航も40分ほど遅れていました。　沖に出るとウミガメに遭遇、そこからしばらくするとザトウクジラが、、、今回のもうひとつの目的がホエールウォッチングだったのでそれはそれでいいか。　何度も何度もブリーチを繰り返す鯨の姿に圧倒されながらあっという間の3時間でした。フィナーレはサンセットを見ながら、イルカの群れとクルージング、、、ドリンク飲み放題、軽い食事つきでしたが十分楽しみました。　ただし小型船の上での食事ですので、あまり期待はしないほうがいいでしょう。。。　次回は是非ナ・パリ・コーストまで！

This is a great tour for those that want an easy, non-strenuous ride up and back on the river. I just did not enjoy being packed in with that many people to see the attraction after hiking and adventuring all week and then going on a garden tour directly before this one. I thought it was the only way to get to the grotto, and didn't like being herded in a huge group to see the ferns and hurry and take a photo. We really wished we knew that renting kayaks from the same company was an option because that looked way more our style. Aside from that, the staff was nice and gave an informative tour and musical entertainment for the ride. Best suited for older or more conservative tourists.

Enjoyed the river cruise very much
It was nice to see some traditional dancers and music and the grotto was definitely worth seeing

Would highly recommend as the food was great and loved the music and the show

This was one of my husband and I's adventures here in Kauai for our honeymoon! We had a wonderful time and would recommend! Great exercise, tan, and got to see lots of ocean life while snorkeling!

We had our first flight cancelled. So it was worth the wait. Beth was our pilot. She is a third generation pilot with her grandmother being first. She has 11 yrs of experience. She answered all questions. She explained every place that she flew over.
