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。

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＞

Visiting the fern cave while relaxing on a leisurely boat trip. のんびりと船旅で身体を休めながらシダの洞窟を訪問

Reviewed by: 水戸黄門

The boat ride takes just under 30 minutes, followed by a stay of about 20 minutes in the fern cave, allowing you to rest and enjoy sightseeing. Kayak rentals are also available on this river, and it's a lot of fun to encounter many things while moving by boat.

片道30分弱の船での移動、20分程度のシダ洞窟での滞在、身体を休めて観光ができます。この川ではカヤックのレンタルもやっていて、ボートで移動中に沢山遭遇して楽しいです。

Reviewed by: Gayatri

The crew were super friendly and kind. The live music and the commentary of the guide was very entertaining and informative through-out. The river ride was pleasant and breezy. Definitely a nice experience if you want to do with family. We went to the Fern Grotto at the end of the cruise and the short walk to the grotto through the tropical forest was so cool. Overall a neat thing to do in Kauai.

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。

In memory of Elvis Presley. エルビスプレスリーを偲んで。

Reviewed by: みやちゃん

This is my first time visiting Kauai, even though it's my ninth trip to Hawaii. It's the filming location of Elvis Presley's movie "Blue Hawaii." Memories of my youth come rushing back. I've always wanted to visit here, so I'm overwhelmed with emotion.

I came with my husband, and we are a couple aged 70 and 69. It's said that couples who visit here will find happiness. We took a boat tour that lasted 1 hour and 20 minutes round trip. At the fern cave, we landed and enjoyed hula dancing and music.

There were only two other families of Japanese couples and their daughters who were around the same age as us. Although everything was in English, we had no trouble communicating.

It was a romantic and sacred-feeling place. I tried to upload photos, but unfortunately, I couldn't.
