Kauai Mountain Tubing Adventure – Float Through Jungle Tunnels & Canals
Loved it!!
Activity Date: 2024/07/22 | Posted on: 2024/08/17

Perfect ending to a great vacation. The water was perfect. The guides were amazing. The views were awesome. Lunch was good. Loved the tunnels. 7 miles of lazy river. I could have done this every day of our trip because we enjoyed it so much. Definitely on the ticket to do again if we ever come back.

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>
The Cedar Cave, wonderful hula dance.
シダの洞窟、素晴らしいフラダンス
Activity Date: 2024/08/14 | Posted on: 2024/08/16

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。

Kauai Sunset Cruise with Open Bar - Ocean & River Boat Tour from Lihue
fun cruise !! but would have been better with more drink options
Activity Date: 2024/08/08 | Posted on: 2024/08/12

The captain and his 1st mate were excellent. The tour it self was very informative. It was beautiful. The only thing i would suggest maybe was to have a variety of drinks. Not so sweet and sugary. Add some vodka.

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>
Experience the charm of Kauai!
カウアイ島の魅力を体験できる!
Activity Date: 2024/08/05 | Posted on: 2024/08/12

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。

Smith’s Fern Grotto River Cruise with Live Hawaiian Music & Hula
Relaxing and delightfully humorous
Activity Date: 2024/07/29 | Posted on: 2024/08/02

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.

Kauai Airport Lei Greeting Service at Lihue Airport - Hawaiian Floral Necklace
SPECIAL OCCASION WORTHY!
Activity Date: 2024/07/03 | Posted on: 2024/07/28

The greeter was all set with their sign and anniversary message as we began our walk out the airport after picking up our bags! My spouse was so surprised when they saw their name on the sign and we received our leis. The greeter offered to take our picture together under the welcome to Kauai sign. I had planned our travel clothes with this in mind so this photo is priceless--
We look happy and relaxed with our Aloha spirit. I just wish I had remembered to set aside some small change to tip my greeter.

Our family of 9 (all adults) had a fabulous time at this luau. The employees were great. The food was pretty descent (I’ve had some not great food at luaus in the past), but the show was spectacular! The performers were amazing and the flow and diversity of the dances and such were so entertaining. We were completely entertained the whole night.

Awesome way to see Kauai
Activity Date: 2024/07/17 | Posted on: 2024/07/19

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!

Smith’s Fern Grotto River Cruise with Live Hawaiian Music & Hula
Budget friendly getaway from the beach (wheelchair/kid friendly)
Activity Date: 2024/07/15 | Posted on: 2024/07/18

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.

I am satisfied with the guides' knowledge and humor. On the way back, the kayak was moving too fast and we returned earlier than planned. It would have been better if the guide had encouraged the participants to paddle more slowly and enjoy the river cruise at a leisurely pace.
Even an 8 year old girl was able to keep up well enough.

Aloha Na,

Sounds like you had a stellar group.

We generally paddle as fast as the slowest person/couple and that usually allows those who are more fleet, to go at a slower pace and take in the scenery.

Thanks for the 5 stars and enjoy that 8 year old; they grow up much too fast.

A hui hou,
