Smith’s Fern Grotto River Cruise with Live Hawaiian Music & Hula
A wonderful, memorable trip
Activity Date: 2022/12/29 | Posted on: 2022/12/31

We enjoyed the Wailua River Cruise immensely. Though it was less than two hours, the trip up the Wailua River was beautiful. The narration on the boat was informative and amusing. The Fern Grove at the end of the trip was stunning. Both at the Fern Grove and on the trip back we were entertained with music and hula dancing by charming performers who clearly love sharing these traditions with visitors. I should mention that I have mobility limitations, and the hosts on the boat were most kind and accommodating.

Melé Kalikimaka Kara, Thanks for the 5 stars. The tour to the falls, as you learned was a nice combo of upper body and lower body exercise; when your arms are about to give out from kayaking…there is the trail to the fall. Happy Holidays. Micco/Head Guide

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>
A perfectly enjoyable tour.
ちょうど良く楽しめるツアー
Activity Date: 2022/12/19 | Posted on: 2022/12/21

The breakdown of the tour time included about 30 minutes of travel to the Fern Cave, and around 30 minutes spent around the cave, totaling a tour duration of one and a half hours. Since our children were 4 years old and 1 year and 9 months, it was great that both the parents and kids could enjoy it without getting too tired. Of course, you can fully enjoy nature while on the boat as you navigate the river and at the Fern Cave. Additionally, there is a good place for children to play nearby called Kamalani Playground, which was another positive aspect.

ツアーの時間の内訳としては、シダの洞窟への移動に片道30分程度、そしての洞窟周辺で30分程度の計1時間半のツアーでした。
子供たちが4歳と1歳9ヶ月だったので、親共々そこまで疲れず楽しめて良かったです。
もちろん川を進む船の中、シダの洞窟にて自然を満喫できます。
また近くにKamalani playgroundという子供たちが遊ぶには良い場所があるので、その点も良かったです。

Kauai Na Pali Coast Snorkeling Tour & Sea Cave Adventure by Makana Charters
Wonderful trip!
Activity Date: 2022/11/27 | Posted on: 2022/12/18

Went on the afternoon trip with my best friend, we went as a birthday outing for him. The trip was SPECTACULAR, the cliffs and the water were gorgeous, we saw a a whale, the captain regaled us with facts of the coastline, and saw one of the sea caves. It was a little rough and we did not go in but it was still just as amazing all the same. We did not do any snorkeling (as it would be a little late in the day to do so) but we were permitted to jump out of the boat to swim around. It was fun, had a nice little meal. I will definitely go with this tour again if given the chance. A+.

Kauai Mountain Tubing Adventure – Float Through Jungle Tunnels & Canals
Awesome crew
Activity Date: 2022/12/05 | Posted on: 2022/12/10

Staff was friendly from first walking into the warehouse to our tour guide, Bubu, who was very knowledgeable and informative of the histories of Hawai'i as well as great places to visit while on Kaua'i.
Our tube instructors Keoni & Doza? were great at making sure no one strayed from the path and made everyone comfortable within our group. Which is really great because you can't control your tubes.. you WILL be bumping into each other.
The water is also very brisk & most of the ride is underground (in tunnels) so a rashguard is probably a good idea unless you like the cold.
Definitely something fun to do with friends, family, your other half, etc. We want to do their ziplining tour on our next trip!

Aloha Kristen, Thanks for the 5 stars and for taking the time to share. I agree with all that you said, including that Izzy is great, but some sort of footwear is advisable. We have one seasoned guide that negotiates the rocky often slippery trail shoe less, but again we recommend some sort of aqua shoes or beater tennis shoes. Keep chasing waterfalls. Happy Holidays.
