This tubing trip was a great way to have fun and experience the beauty of Kauai! The tour guides were all amazing and taught us a lot about the area. They also recommended other things to do on Kauai and places to eat.

A fantastic experience. A well run family business who welcomed its guests and made you feel part of the Smith family sharing their culture and traditions.

Walter “Kamika” Smith was a great host and extremely gracious to my family providing a personal glimpse into his family’s history.

Kauai Airport Lei Greeting Service at Lihue Airport - Hawaiian Floral Necklace
Reliable service and beautiful lei
Activity Date: 2021/06/23 | Posted on: 2021/06/25

My wife was surprised to tears when we arrived in Kauai and she saw a sign with her name on it and a smiling local with a beautiful lei to greet her on arrival. The look on her face was worth ten times the price of the lei. The lei was well constructed and fragrant.

Wailua River Kayak & Secret Falls Hike - Guided Kauai Adventure
Worth the work!
Activity Date: 2021/06/21 | Posted on: 2021/06/24

Ty was very patient and informative. We had a great time. The falls are definitely not a secret, got very crowded, I suggest taking the earliest tour possible. I would absolutely do this again!

Aloha Kim,

When we pioneered this tour to the Falls we called it the Secret Falls.

Victim of our own success...it quickly became the best known secret. Now we call it the Sacred Falls and inspite its popularity, as you observed and learned, it is still a terrific way to spend the day.

Thanks for sharing and for 5 star review and photo

Stay paddling and hiking.

A hui hou,

Micco

Smith’s Fern Grotto River Cruise with Live Hawaiian Music & Hula
An Inexpensive and Fun Time
Activity Date: 2021/06/09 | Posted on: 2021/06/17

This was a quick sightseeing adventure that was worth the cost. The boat trip was relaxing with authentic music one way and informative talk the other way to and from the Fern Grotto. The Fern Grotto is not as impressive as it once was due to storms that have torn away some of the older, longer ferns, but it was still worth the trip.

Holo Holo Super Kauai Snorkel Tour - Niihau & Na Pali Coast Adventure with Breakfast, Lunch & Drinks
What an awesome day!
Activity Date: 2021/06/01 | Posted on: 2021/06/15

My best friend and I was visiting Kauai for the first time. We wanted to choose a few excursions that allowed us to see most of the island and learn about the culture/history. This tour was...... AMAZING. Such a beautiful coast. The crew on the boat was more than great & very attentive to all passengers. They were all very knowledgeable about the island, and just overall made the trip fun. The provided lunch was delicious. Aside from the breath taking views of the Na Pali coast, we saw hundreds of spinner dolphins, sea turtles, seals, the forbidden island, and snorkeled. One thing I will say though, if you get motion sick, this is not the tour for you.

We were so close to missing this tour and am beyond glad we made it. The water was so refreshing, and the mix of calm and exciting flow was perfect. I can’t say enough how much I appreciated out guide Damion. He was patient, welcoming, helpful, offered local tips, and kept the entire adventure fun from start to finish. The lunch was great as well, and in a beautiful spot. Pictures taken throughout and available for purchase. All around a wonderful tour. Highly recommend!

Aloha Lee,

Thanks for the 5 hokus/stars.

Feel our Wailua River Paddle and Hike is a nice combination of upper and lower body.

By the time your arms might be getting tired from paddling you are hitting the trail and working the legs to get to the falls.

Stay active and thanks for taking the time to share.

Kauai Na Pali Coast Snorkeling Tour & Sea Cave Adventure by Makana Charters
Loved the boat tour !
Activity Date: 2021/05/30 | Posted on: 2021/06/01

Tony and Cam were very friendly and humorous. They stopped at all the amazing places. We took the 8:30 AM tour and got to see dolphins, turtles, beautiful caves and multiple waterfalls. Snorkeling was fun and could see coral reef and many types of fishes. I would highly recommend Makana Charters to my friends and family.

Wailua River Kayak & Secret Falls Hike - Guided Kauai Adventure
Fantastic way to spend a half day in Kauai
Activity Date: 2021/05/13 | Posted on: 2021/05/15

Dustin was amazing. He was very patient and helpful in teaching everyone how to kayak. The hike was challenging through streams, rocks and mud but Dustin made sure everyone was safe and knew what to do. It is definitely a tour I would do again. The waterfall was beautiful. We learned a lot about Kauai history and the plants and trees we saw along the way.

Aloha Halls,

Thanks for letting us know that Dustin continues to "rock". Isn't it great to traverse a beautiful area like the Wailua River and appreciate its cultural and natural history.

We all fortunate to have Dustin share his knowledge, patience and brand of Aloha,

Thanks again for your kinds words.

Wailua River Kayak & Secret Falls Hike - Guided Kauai Adventure
Kauai Kayak - the best
Activity Date: 2021/03/03 | Posted on: 2021/03/05

I did a mid week kayak trip with Kauai Kayak. Instructor was excellent, gear provided was in good shape, and the lunch was fresh and delicious. The walk portion described as “along the river bank” was challenging as we walked over large river rock and then through streams, boulders, and mud to reach the falls. The company provides an excellent trip and I would easily recommend them to anyone interested in a fun and challenging half day.

We wear a bit Leary of scheduling this excursion- but had heard great things about it- it was a cold overcast morning and we thought that would be miserable but we had a great time! Great tour guides kept us entertained and having fun- felt super safe the entire time and glad we booked it! Nice lunch at the end and fun scenic ride on the way in and back out. We’ll be back with the family for sure.
