Waimea Canyon Sightseeing Tour & Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto

Waimea, Fern Grotto tour

Reviewed by: Evangelista, N

We were in Awe when we saw Waimea Canyon, most unforgettable sight so far and for the record we have seen Grand Canyon as well. the tour package itself is great, our driver is awesome forgot his name already ( sorry) he makes sure that each and everyone needs are met. Love the fact that we were picked up right in front of our hotel. I just wished tho that the Fern Grotto is as nice as in the pictureExtra treat that we also enjoy is the short hula performance...

シダの洞窟観光ツアー ワイメア渓谷&ポイプ潮吹岩&オパエカア滝 <英語ガイド>

Overall, it was well-organized and good. 全体的に、まとまった内容でよかったです

Reviewed by: ワッキーあき

The Japanese tour was canceled due to a lack of participants. In a hurry, I searched and signed up for this tour. Everyone else was from English-speaking countries, and there were a few solo travelers as well. The comfortable bus that the tour advertised was indeed as described. It was equipped with air conditioning and was very comfortable. However, I think it would be difficult to enjoy this tour without a certain level of English proficiency. Also, since tips are not included in the participation fee, this might be a bit of a concern for Japanese participants. Other than that, the overall time allocation for the trip was well-organized, making it an excellent tour.

日本語でのツアーが参加者人数不足のため欠旅。急遽、探して申し込んだのが、このツアーでした。私以外、英語圏の参加者でした。一人参加の方も数名いました。このツアーの売りにしている、快適なバス⇒そのとおりでした。エアコン完備で、快適そのものでした。ただ、英語力ある程度ないと、このツアーを楽しむことが無理かと思います。あと、参加料にチップ含まれてないので、日本人にはその点がちょっと・・・って思われるかも。それ以外は、全体的な旅行の時間配分がしっかりしており、申し分ないツアーです。

Smiths Family Garden Luau in Kauai - Authentic Hawaiian Dinner & Show

Luau Fun

Reviewed by: Bruce Cariker

Very good for what it was billed as. Good food, great dancing, maybe a bit Disneyesque. The fire knife dancer was a bit into himself, milking the audience for extra applause for his displays of skill. Dinner and show were well run, smooth and essentially seamless. Dinner seating was very good. Seats at the show venue, while padded, became a bit hard and narrow after awhile. I suppose it's the tradeoff required to get that many people within a good viewing distance of the show. Worth seeing again.

Waimea Canyon Sightseeing Tour & Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto

Waimea Canyon Tour & ABORTED Cruise to Fern Grotto

Reviewed by: Bruce Cariker

Great tour as far as it went. The river cruise to Fern Grotto was cancelled due to high river levels. When people asked the driver about reimbursement for the cancelled cruise, he responded with some thing like, "You can phone the company and ask for a partial reimbursement, but don't get your hopes up if it doesn't happen." I think it indicates that the driver just wasn't properly informed about how to deal with the situation, Great driver otherwise, and full of lots of info. It would have been fun to talk with him in an informal setting.

Smiths Family Garden Luau in Kauai - Authentic Hawaiian Dinner & Show

Good

Reviewed by: Rachel

It was very busy. Good food but my gluten free meal was brought 20 minutes after I was full from the salads provided. However I ate the pork , chicken from the buffet style feast and food was well labelled so I had no reaction to the food I ate considering I am allergic to wheat. Very nice staff. Show was good. I wished there was more history and traditional dance wear. The high pitched whale noises the one lady made hurt my ears for every song. I wished the warrior dance was longer as I enjoyed the drums and seeing less women dancers hehe. The fire show was the best part. Thanks so much smith family!!

DO THIS!

Reviewed by: Chopper Steve

Incredible. I've been to 40 countries and 6 continents and had countless adventure - I think this may be the most amazing thing I've ever done. If you're on the fence, go for it! Sell blood if you have to, you will not be sorry. Unless you don't do it, then you will realize in the twilight of your years something is missing from your life. Something you can't quite put your finger on - but I'm warning you now - it would be this trip. Give yourself a hand and go. Spectacular views - and I was in the middle seat. Window would have been nice, but it's great from the middle too.

During the 20-minute boat ride, there are hula dances and interactive dance activities, which are enjoyable. You will stay at the site for about 30-40 minutes. The spiritual atmosphere was nice.
I participated in the 9:30 AM tour, and the timing was just right for lunch afterward.

セスナ遊覧飛行 ワイメア渓谷&ナ・パリ・コースト&ハナペペ渓谷 <英語ガイド/リフエ空港発>

A valuable experience 貴重な体験

Reviewed by: Sato

I thought opportunities to ride in a Cessna are rare, so even though I don't understand much English, I signed up considering the time constraints. The office is a short walk from the airport. When I went to the reception, they confirmed my reservation and explained the course. I weighed in while carrying my luggage, and when it was time, we boarded the plane. Everyone on board wore headsets and checked their microphones. You can see the entire island and enjoy the beautiful scenery, but it shakes in the cloudy parts, so motion sickness medication is a must! Even my friend, who usually doesn't get motion sick, was feeling quite groggy by the time we landed. Still, I felt it was a great experience that I would only have once in a lifetime. It was fun!

セスナに乗る機会なんてそうそうないと思い、英語はあまり分かりませんが時間との兼ね合いも有り申し込みしました。空港から少し歩いた所にオフィスがあります。受付に行くと予約者の確認とコースの説明をされ、荷物を持ったまま体重測定をし、時間になったら乗り込みます。機内では全員ヘッドセット?を装着しマイクの確認をします。島の全貌が良くわかり、美しい景色を堪能出来ますが、雲の部分で揺れるので酔い止めは必須です!!普段酔わない友達も降りる頃にはかなりグロッキーになってしまっていました。
それでも一生に一回の良い体験をしたと思いました。楽しかったです。

My wife and I attended the Smith Family Luau after the cruise to the fern grotto. The entire experience was amazing. The Smith family themselves were welcoming and gracious, the staff was easy to talk to and helpful. The food was out of this world good, especially for a large buffet. Even a downpour couldn't stop us from having a fantastic time. I recommend the luau to everyone and anyone looking for a once in a lifetime experience.

Waimea Canyon Sightseeing Tour & Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto

Terrible trip

Reviewed by: Unhappy customer

This trip was terrible, expensive, and boring. With false advertisement. We were on time waiting for the bus, but it came an hour and thirty minutes later. It was ridiculous they called 3 times saying to be on time, but they were late themselves! Our guide was very bad. All he told us was the name of the attraction not the history. The bus was huge but his mic didn't work. All he had to do was change the batteries but even at a stop he didn't take the time to change them. He just was talking with other people. We could have done this with our own car and taken our time! PLEASE don't waste your money and time on this trip!!! Explore your self and take your time!!!!!!!!!

Reviewed by: Janet

This was a very throw back to the past type of experience. Simple fun, nice people, old fashioned hospitality. The river is in full sun, would not recommend kayak option..not enough interesting flora along the way. Hula and Hawaiian music on the boat ride fun. Fern Grotto was devastated in 1992 and a shadow of it's former glory. Guide gave good local information in an entertaining sort of presentation. I'd take grandma and grandpa or very young kids on this tour.

Kauai Helicopter Tour & Eco Adventure Flight from Lihue - Blue Hawaiian Helicopters

Wow what a view!

Reviewed by: George

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.

Aloha George! We are so sorry to hear that there was a date discrepancy but thrilled to hear that you had such a vacation defining experience with Blue Hawaiian. Kauai really hides much of it's beauty in inaccessible areas so a helicopter tour really is the way go. We hope you have a chance to come back to Hawaii and see more soon!

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.
