This was our favorite excursion! The captain and crew were so fun and knowledgeable! The coast was beautiful, and we saw lots of sea turtles and dolphins. The snorkeling was great too. We would highly recommend this company!

Due to a COVID case among the staff, our morning snorkeling tour was rescheduled for the next day. There were five friendly staff members, including the captain, all of whom worked hard. The captain, who is of Native American and Chinese descent, was entertaining and provided excellent service, bringing the catamaran close to the cliffs of Na Pali and splashing participants with waterfall water. We enjoyed a variety of stories about the island and Na Pali. The scenery of Na Pali is featured in many movies, including Jurassic Park, and I believe it is worth seeing at least once.
One thing to note is that I had heard Na Pali can be rough at sea, but since the tour was changed to a relatively calm morning, I felt reassured. However, on the return trip, we faced headwinds and had to ride over waves pushing towards us, which resulted in all of my family getting seasick...
The large catamaran, breakfast, lunch, and the hardworking staff, along with the humorous and talkative captain, were all excellent. However, since we hardly saw any fish while snorkeling and the ride was too intense, I would rate it four stars.
スタッフにCOVIDの人が出たとかで、翌日のモーニングシュノーケルツアーに変更になりました。スタッフはキャプテンを入れて5名、いずれもよく働くフレンドリーなスタッフで、キャプテンは、ネイティブインディアンと中国人のハーフ、話が面白く、また、ナパリの岸壁ぎりぎりにカタマランを近づけ、参加者に滝の水をかけるなど、サービス精神満点でした。話も、島の話、ナパリの話など多様な話で楽しめました。ナパリの景色は、ジュラシックパークその他の映画に多々出てきたもので、なかなか見られないもので一見の価値ありだと思います。
注意が必要なのは、ナパリは海が荒いと聞いていたのですが、比較的穏やかな朝のツアーに変更になり、安心して臨んだところ、帰りは向かい風で手前に押し寄せる波を乗り越え続けるライドとなり、家族全員船酔いに。。。
大きなカタマラン、朝食、昼食、かいがいしく働くスタッフ、ユーモアあり話し上手なキャプテンと、文句なしだったのですが、シュノーケルで魚がほとんど見えなかったのと、あまりに激しいライドで4つ星とさせていただきます。

The view was something else, let me tell. Cruising the coast and seeing the unique geographical features was amazing. I don't know I've ever seen anything like this. The host and crew was super informative and helpful. They even provided and took care of my GF who was starting to feel seasick. They were well-equipped to host everyone, not to mention that they were pretty entertaining and funny. I highly recommend!

On the last day of my stay in Kauai, I participated in this experience. From the welcome music upon boarding to the entertaining talks, the journey to the fern cave, the beauty of the cave, the songs and hula dances in front of the cave, and the music, singing, and hula dancing on the return boat, it was all very rich. The final solo by the female captain just before docking, with the waves, wind, flowers, and swaying leaves... the hula dance that conveyed the beauty of nature was truly breathtaking.
カウアイ滞在最終日に参加しました。はじめから終わりまで、入船する際のウェルカムミュージック、楽しませてくれるトークから、シダの洞窟への道のり、洞窟の美しさ、洞窟前の歌とフラダンス、帰りの船の中での音楽、歌、フラダンスと盛り沢山で、とくに女性キャプテンによる寄港直前の最後のソロの波、風、花、葉の揺れ...自然の美しさを感じさせるフラダンスは圧巻でした。

I was able to fully enjoy the nature-rich Kauai Island. I truly had a wonderful experience.
Of course, I got to see the Fern Grotto and Waimea Canyon, known as the Grand Canyon of the Pacific, as well as the valleys and waterfalls visible along the way. The lunch sandwiches were delicious too! In addition to the beautiful natural scenery, we also stopped by a Kauai coffee shop where I could enjoy some very drinkable coffee. The driver and guide were friendly and skilled at driving. I would like to sign up for a tour with Polynesian Adventure again on my future travels.
自然豊かなカウアイ島を満喫することができました。本当に良い想いをさせてもらいました。
シダの洞窟や太平洋のグランド・キャニオンと呼ばれるワイメア渓谷はもちろん、道中にて見える渓谷や滝なども見ることができます。ランチのサンドイッチも美味しかったです!また、自然豊かな場所に加えカウアイコーヒーショップに寄ることができます。とても飲みやすいコーヒーを飲むこともできます。ドライバー兼ガイドの方も気さくですし、運転も上手です。今後も旅行の際にはPolynesian Adventureさんのツアーに申し込みたいと思いました。

This river boat tour was very relaxing and enjoyable. Our guides were talented, insightful, and had a great sense of humor. The fern grotto was a lovely stroll. The live entertainment set the mood for the rest of our trip. If you are weary about going on this river boat, don’t be, it is a sweet smooth ride. We highly recommend doing this tour while visiting Kauai.

The performers were amazing and the flow and diversity of the dances and such were so entertaining. We were completely entertained the whole night.

Our pilot Marcus was wonderful! Our family of 4 got headsets so we could hear about all the landforms and points of interest we flew to. We got to see sides of the island that boats and helicopters don’t typically get to in addition to the big wow locations like the Napili coast, Waimea Canyon, remote beaches, and waterfalls. We felt totally safe the whole flight and would recommend this tour to everyone!

Large boat brings you about 30 mins down river with a tour guide speaking overhead. Our tour guide was very funny and was probably my favorite part of this activity. You’ll disembark at an area with walkways/bathroom through a lush rainforest that eventually ends at an area with a large cliff/cave. APPLY BUG SPRAY! There are lots of mosquitoes in this area.
Here you’ll get a short history of the location as well as some music/hula dancing.
You’ll head back to boat and return with more traditional ukulele music/hula dancing.
Wasn’t a fan of the music myself, but enjoyed the trip overall.
If you aren’t able to do a strenuous hike, wheelchair bound, or have small children this activity is short enough to get a taste of the scenery without the hassle of a rough walking trail.

Im not sure what we were expecting, but this surely exceeded our expectations! The timing of everything was great, lots to see and do. The food was delicious and the drinks were good. We opted for the train and I would highly recommend- especially if you are with kids. It was a nice easy evening ride through the ranch, farm, and orchards.
The show at the end of the night was also a favorite! Lots of quick paced action and dancing. Got to hang in till the end for the fire dancing!
A lovely way to spend the evening. And a real treat at the end of a trip.

Nice relaxing ride down the Wailua River with a short, easy walk to the Grotto. Learning about the history of the boats and the area was very special, as well as having the Hawaiian music and dancing on the boat. The pilot was witty and made a couple of cute jokes. Definitely recommend for families or as an alternative for more strenous activities, or just as a nice cool break from the hot days.

I made a reservation through the website the day before boarding, as it was cheaper than booking directly with the local tour company due to tax differences. I looked at several options, and this was the lowest price for the same conditions. Still, 30,000 yen per person is OVER.
The reservation process was easy, and I showed the issued voucher to the local tour company, signed, and completed check-in. I checked in at 14:00, one hour before departure, and had a briefing at 14:15. After that, it took about 5 minutes to move to the port. We departed 15 minutes ahead of schedule. Because the waves were high, it felt like being on a roller coaster. We arrived in about 1 hour and 20 minutes. We spent about 2 hours in Napali, and on the way back, we took our time eating a bento while enjoying the sunset, returning by 19:20.
Other tour companies have smaller boats, but you need to be prepared to get wet. The large yacht with a buffet is gorgeous, but it can't get close to the shore, so this tour, which is faster and includes bento and unlimited drinks (including alcohol), was great. There seems to be a morning departure as well, but since it's early, I recommend the afternoon departure with sunset.
現地のツアー会社に直接予約よりも税金分安かったので、乗船前日にサイトから予約。いくつか見たがここが同条件では最安値。それでも1人3万円はOVER。
予約も簡単でしたし、現地ツアー会社には発行されたバウチャーを見せて、サインをしてチェックイン完了。
出航1時間前の14:00に受付し、14:15にブリーフィング。その後港まで移動が約5分。出航予定の15分前に出航。波が高かったせいで、ジェットコースターに乗っているような気分。1時間20分程度で到着。2時間くらいはナパリにいて帰りはお弁当を食べながら2時間くらいかけてゆっくり目で帰り最後は夕日を見て19:20には帰着。
他のツアー会社には小型のボートもあるが、濡れる覚悟が必要。ブッフェ付きの大型ヨットはゴージャスだが、岸壁には近づけないので、スピードも早く、お弁当付きドリンク(アルコールも)飲み放題のこのツアーが良かった。午前出発もあるようだが、朝も早いしサンセット着きの午後出発がおすすめかと。

My family of 4 had the best time on this excursion in June. The crew was organized, friendly, and punctual. The boat was big and comfortable, we were able to stand while driving and the music selection was fun. We saw spinner dolphins and that was the highlight of our whole trip to Kauai. Another super fun part was going into a couple of caves, one of them all the way and turned around. We stood under a waterfall, took amazing pictures, the coast formation is incredible.
The one part that wasn’t great was the snorkeling, the spot didn’t have many fish or sea life. It was very deep and brown. We were very excited to snorkel off the Napoli Coast and it was a disappointment. But it’s likely just the way the coastline is now, sadly.
The sandwiches were great, good chips and drinks.
Overall, it was a very cool experience!
