Waimea Canyon Sightseeing Tour & Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto

Beautiful scenery and boat ride!

Reviewed by: Mark

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.

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

Like many yet so different

Reviewed by: Chris P

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.

  • Curtain call

  • Fires setting the mood over the lake

  • Welcome :-)

  • Trying to be in the show?

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

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>

Those who are sensitive may need to take motion sickness medication. 弱い方は酔い止め必須かも

Reviewed by: CMT

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。

Smith’s Fern Grotto River Cruise with Live Hawaiian Music & Hula

Early Bird Gets the Best Tour!

Reviewed by: Annette

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!

ヘリコプター遊覧飛行 ワイメア渓谷&ナ・パリ・コースト&ハナレイ湾 <英語ガイド/リフエ空港>

It feels like catching a glimpse of the primordial Earth, and it's wonderful. 原始地球を垣間見るようで、素晴らしい

Reviewed by: Y753

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。

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>

It's irresistible for hula dance lovers. フラダンス好きにはたまらない

Reviewed by: Y・千鶴子

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。

Smith’s Fern Grotto River Cruise with Live Hawaiian Music & Hula

I just don't enjoy large group tours

Reviewed by: Linsey

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.

The luau is just average. The show portion of the luau is in a "theater" type setting making it seem removed from the luau. The food was ok. They did try hard to accommodate my food allergy and prepared a separate plate for me.

We went to this luau with our two adult daughters. It was such a beautiful place to explore! We were able to walk around and take pictures. The dinner was good and nicely displayed. There was a little of something for everyone to like. The show was very good and entertaining. It got a little hard to sit for that long on the forward slanted seating though. I would recommend for a fun night.
