Snuba Tours of Kauai | Small-Group Guided Beach SNUBA Diving Tour at Lawai Beach
Best part of my Hawaiian vacation!!!
Activity Date: 2013/08/15 | Posted on: 2013/08/19

I cannot begin to express how amazing our Snuba experience was. The instructor was super friendly and you could tell he loved doing what he does. He was more than accommodating to questions and made sure you understood and had a wonderful experience. The dive itself was great. There were so many beautiful creatures to see. The only thing I would change is to have been out there longer! If you are debating on whether to do this or another activity, I would strongly recommend this one over anything else Kauai has to offer!

Wailua River Kayak & Secret Falls Hike - Guided Kauai Adventure
Sacred Waterfall Swim,hike Paddle
Activity Date: 2013/08/02 | Posted on: 2013/08/12

This was really a fun and beautiful experience. Jessie was our guide, and he did a wonderful job. We were late starting, but that was because in the group prior to us he had a blind man and two elderly. It shows his patience that these three were able to complete this adventure. Let me state this is not for those who are not moderate to fit. The paddle can be tough if the wind is blowing (which it normally is). And the hike is beautiful (but can be muddy and you have to watch your step). We would highly recommend this trip for those up for the adventure. Again, Jessie is your man! It is beautiful, he is knowledgeable, and it was very fun!

Kauai Mountain Tubing Adventure – Float Through Jungle Tunnels & Canals
It's an experience!
Activity Date: 2013/07/30 | Posted on: 2013/08/11

We enjoyed this excursion! alot of fun, exciting especially, going to the top Lihue Sugar Plantation Hawaii Garden Isle and The Tunnels. The Staff is very helpful and experienced. Rain or shine it is worth the time also there is a stop for Lunch which is a good thing so we can take a break.

Waimea Canyon Sightseeing Tour & Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto
Great Island Tour
Activity Date: 2013/07/29 | Posted on: 2013/08/11

We went as a family and enjoyed every moment and the Tour Guide Craig was very friendly and knowledgeable. Positive things about the Tour are: 1. the time it went quickly especially with the interesting sights as Waimea Cyn and Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto Tour. 2. The lunch was a good time to relax and enjoy a good meal with friends or family. 3. Sightseeing-and able to shop and stretch. Negative things about the Tour are 1. getting to boat on time- Fern Grotto Tour so we could get better seats for photo taking, their was another group of people there already. Negative things about the Tour 2. There was one store we stopped at in beginning of Tour and we did not feel welcomed. The owner was following us everywhere so we left out of there back to the bus also the refreshments where horrible. The only interesting fact at that store was a $4,000 beaded necklace. Overall, we enjoyed the day and recommend.

Kauai Helicopter Tour & Eco Adventure Flight from Lihue - Blue Hawaiian Helicopters
Smooth flying & beautiful views!!
Activity Date: 2013/08/03 | Posted on: 2013/08/07

The flight is incredibly smooth, and the pilot will take you to see over 30% of the island that you will not be able to see otherwise. They'll take you through the canyons and you'll see the major waterfalls. We flew into the old crater, and it was just amazing! The pilot was very informative and pleasant to listen to, as he gave some history of the island. He'll even turn the bird so both sides of the passengers, left and right, may take photos. It's a MUST and well worth the cost!

Smiths Family Garden Luau in Kauai - Authentic Hawaiian Dinner & Show
Most impressive Luau in Hawaii
Activity Date: 2013/08/02 | Posted on: 2013/08/07

I've been to other luau's on other islands, but none have been as organized with so much great food and free mai-tai drinks. The dining areas and the seating areas for the show are all covered to protect people from the possibility of rain. The landscape is gorgeous, with so many unique flowers, exotic trees, peacocks, chickens, and zebra doves running around everywhere.

Luau Kalamaku Kauai – Award-Winning Hawaiian Dinner Show with Fire Knife Dance
1st timers
Activity Date: 2013/07/08 | Posted on: 2013/08/03

Before the show, my kids enjoyed getting their first Jagua skin art (similar to henna) from a local artist. Some of the show's performers had booths selling jewelry and crafts as well. The drinks were stiff, however, the food was on the mediocre side. The show itself was great and was enjoyed by all. The dancers were very friendly and welcoming. Overall great experience!

Snuba Tours of Kauai | Small-Group Guided Beach SNUBA Diving Tour at Lawai Beach
Great fun/Would do AGAIN
Activity Date: 2013/06/25 | Posted on: 2013/07/23

This was our first experience swimming in the ocean and I couldn't have asked for a better first time!!! My fiancé was new to under water diving and was having a difficult time breathing. Sean stayed with him the whole time and never let him give up!!! We had such an incredible time under the water. We had ample instruction time and felt safe. It lasted very short time and we wanted to stay longer. We would do it again in heart beat !!! Definitely worth the money and we've gained a wonderful new memory!

Kauai Mountain Tubing Adventure – Float Through Jungle Tunnels & Canals
Fun and INVIGORATING!!
Activity Date: 2013/07/15 | Posted on: 2013/07/18

Wasn't really sure what to expect even though I read good reviews. We had teens and I worried this would be a lazy river float. It wasn't! Don't get me wrong, it wasn't rapids either. But it was a lot of fun. You float, but you also spin and the tunnels are really something. I'm claustrophobic and worried about the tunnels, but with the headlamp provided and everyone moving along, it was not scary, not even for young children. The guides were terrific at making sure you have a good time, but also know when enough is enough...meaning they asked about claustrophobia and when I told them yes, they did not jump out to scare me in the tunnels. Although I would have been ok with that!

Luau Kalamaku Kauai – Award-Winning Hawaiian Dinner Show with Fire Knife Dance
Luau Enjoyed
Activity Date: 2013/06/21 | Posted on: 2013/07/05

Been to Luaus' before, just dancing, music, and food/drink. But this was so enjoyable because of the story they told through the dancing, music and song. Even my husband enjoyed it. Our daughters couldn't get over the fire dance, and the way the dancers engaged audience members through out the show. The food was really tasty, we even enjoyed the Poi with everything. The Plantation grounds were spectacular too. This is on our "To-Do List again in Kauai".

Must do on Kauai!
Activity Date: 2013/07/01 | Posted on: 2013/07/03

Awesome tour! Saw the entire island in an hour, and places we would have never seen had it not been for being in the helicopter! Recommend this tour as a must do if you plan on visiting Kauai. The waterfalls themselves are worth the money!

ナ・パリ・コースト セーリング シュノーケリング付き<朝食・ビュッフェ昼食付き/英語ガイド>
Sailing is the main activity.
セーリングがメイン
Activity Date: 2013/06/29 | Posted on: 2013/06/30

I thought the main activity would be snorkeling when I signed up. In reality, the main focus was a round-trip sailing of about three hours from Hanapepe to the Na Pali Coast, and the waves were quite rough, so it can be tough if you're not confident in your physical stamina. (The Westerners seemed to be just fine, even drinking alcohol...) However, the crew members were friendly and fun, and it was great to see both turtles and dolphins right in front of us.

シュノーケリングがメインかと思って申し込みました。
実際は、ハナペペからナパリコーストまで往復約3時間のセーリングがメインで、波の揺れがひどく体力に自信がないと辛いです。(欧米人の方は、お酒も飲んで全然平気そうでしたが、、、)
でも、クルーメンバーはきさくでのりがよく、カメもイルカも目の前で見れたのはよかったです。

Kauai Movie Sightseeing Tour - Roberts Hawaii
Movie Tour
Activity Date: 2013/06/05 | Posted on: 2013/06/29

The reason I rated this tour "Good" is because my husband thinks it was great, and I think it was so-so. Maybe, it's because I don't watch TV often enough and have no idea about movies mentioned on the tour. Unfortunately, we did not stop in the area, where they filmed those few movies I actually watched and liked, so it was a big disappointment for me.

I would not recommend this tour if TV shows or movies are not your passion.

The evening started with a tram tour around the gardens, time to walk and photograph the gardens, traditional Hawaiian meal (buffet style) followed by a presentation of the various hula styles influenced by the various people that came to the islands. All in all - recommended.

Fern Grotto Tour
Activity Date: 2013/06/03 | Posted on: 2013/06/13

The Smith's Fern Grotto tour was a good way to see the fern grotto and understand some of the history. There was a 20 minute boat ride to the fern grotto landing, time to take pictures, presentation of a Hawaiian Wedding song, complete with hula interruption and demonstration of various hula dances on the boat ride back. All in all - recommended tour.
