Waimea Canyon Guided Sightseeing, Kokee State Park Nature Walk & Coffee Tour
Informative
Reviewed by: No
Better instructions needed for pickup at the Point at Poipu. Pickup is at the entrance to the property. Buses do not enter the property. Current instructions state pickup is out front. Of the main entrance to the building??

Smith's Kauai Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto with Live Entertainment
A memorable trip!
Reviewed by: Stefanie
We had a wonderful time on this mini cruise to Fern Grotto. We loved hearing about it's history, listening to the music and being entertained by a talented group of people. Every seat was a good one for views and the short walk to the grotto was beautiful. I would definitely recommend this relaxing trip!

伝統ルアウ＆フラ ハワイアンショー ハワイ伝統の神聖儀式イム鑑賞付き＜ワイルア・マリーナ・ステート・パーク内／夕食付き＞
暖かいスミスファミリーさんのルアウショー。
Reviewed by: みやちゃん
ハワイ9回目にして、初めてのカウアイ島。今まで体験したルアウ・ショーの中で、一番楽しめた体験でした。
まず、チェックインしたあと孔雀などのいる美しいスミスさんの庭園をトラムで案内していただきます。そのあと、イムの儀式を見て、お食事になります。
食事の間には、バンド演奏をしていただきます。声をかけてくださった背の高い男性が、片言の日本語で話しかけてくださいました。ツアーの人が多く、個人参加の私たち夫婦を彼が、席に案内してくださいました。日本に帰ってから知ったのですが、彼が、カミカ・スミスさんでした。主催者さんだったのです。彼は、ステージに上がり、歌われたのですが、うっとりするほど、お上手でした。スミス婦人も歓迎してくださいました。食事が終わったあと、ステージまで、歩いていきました。ちょうどいい食事の後の散歩タイムでした。日本庭園のようなものもありました。美しいお庭です。
ショーは、ハワイアンやタヒチダンスだけでなく、他の国、ニュージーランドや韓国、中国、日本、フィリピンなど多国の踊りもあると事前にガイドブックで知っていましたが、行って初めて知ったことがあります。それは、当日のお客さんに中国や韓国の人はおられず、アジア人は私たち夫婦二人だけでした。外国の踊りとして披露いただいたアジアの踊りは、日本の東京音頭だったのです。スミスファミリーさんは、出席者がどこから来てるのかを見て、選曲されてるとしか思えなかったのです。中国、韓国の踊りでなく東京音頭だったのです。感激しました。
食事も美味しかったし、何といってもカミカ・スミスさんご本人とお話しできたこと、温かいスミスファミリーのおもてなしに幸せな時間を過ごさせていただきました。
夫はアロハシャツ、私は、カジュアルだけどロングドレスで、お洒落していきました。
ほとんどの人が、お洒落して来られてて、場違いにならずによかったと思いました。

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＞
エルビスプレスリーを偲んで。
Reviewed by: みやちゃん
ハワイ9回目にして初めてのカウアイ島。
エルビスプレスリーの映画「ブルーハワイ」のロケ地。
青春の思い出が蘇ってきます。一度訪れてみたいと思っていたので、感無量です。
夫と二人で来ました。70才と69才の夫婦。ここを訪れたカップルは幸せになれるとか、言われています。船に乗って、往復で1時間20分のツアーでした。シダの洞窟では、上陸してフラダンスや音楽を鑑賞しました。
日本人は、私たち夫婦と同じ年代のご夫婦と娘さんのご家族の二組だけでした。
英語だけですが、言葉の不自由はないです。
ロマンチックで、かつ、神聖な感じのする場所でした。
写真が、アップしようとしたのですが、できなくて残念です。
カップルの人は、是非、訪れてください。

Sacred Falls Adventure - Wailua River Kayak, Hike & Waterfall Swim
Awesome
Reviewed by: Sumsiontk
This excursion is a must do. The views were incredible. It does take time to get there, 2 mile row in after which you hike for about 1.25 miles to the falls. The guide told us some great facts about the area. They teach you how to paddle if you have never done that before. You do have to cross the river and depending on the rainfall, it can be deep. This is mildly strenuous, you will be walking on uneven ground with rocks and cross a river, good water/hiking shoes a must. You will need to help carry the kayaks to the water and back, not very long and there are usually 4 people to a kayak to carry. Part of the trail does have wood planks to walk on, but the first part of the trail does not. It was beautiful and the falls were full when we got to the top, not always the case, depends on the amount of rainfall they have had. Highly recommend.
Get the walking sticks, very helpful when crossing the river and hiking the trail.
Aloha Sumsiontk,
What a nice and informative review that gives folks a real idea of what is involved in the paddle and hike to the Sacred/Secret Falls.
Your review made we want to revisit, yet once again.
The guid is there to maximize your time, keep it safe and fun and leaving you with some "some pearls of wisdom".
Thanks for recommending us and hope to see you back.
A hui hou,
Micco

ナ・パリ・コースト サンセットクルージング ラッキーレディ号＜5.5時間／夕食付き／英語ガイド＞
素晴らしい体験です！
Reviewed by: みやちゃん
70才と69才の老夫婦です。日本人は、私たちだけでした。ハワイ9回目にして、初めてのカウアイ島。せっかくなのでナ・パリ・コーストは、見ておきたいと参加しました。
正直なところ、船酔いしないかと心配していました。船に乗る30分前に日本から持ってきた昔からある、T製薬の酔い止めの錠剤S（水なしで飲めるもの）を口に含んで乗船しました。そのお陰で、全く酔わず、快適にクルージングを楽しむことができました。酔っている人も6人位いました。多分、酔い止めを飲んでいなかったら、絶対、酔っていたと思います。快適なクルージングですが、かなり揺れます。日本の遊園地のバイキングのような揺れ方です。
美しい風景に、夫と「来てよかったね」と話し合ってました。サンセットは、曇っていましたが、それなりに見えました。食事も美味しかったです。スタッフは、船長以外に優しいお兄さんと綺麗なお姉さんが二人、皆さん、親切にしてくださいました。私が高齢なのでしょうか、船の中を移動しようとすると、すぐ来て、手をかしてくれました。英語も得意ではありませんが、特に問題なかったです。夫は、隣に座っていた本土からみえた米国の紳士と仲良くお喋りしたり、その場にいた人々が、皆わきあいあいとしてました。
参加したのは5月10日でしたが、クジラを見ることができました。皆、感激して叫んでいました。また、ナ・パリ・コーストに虹がかかって、最高のクルージングになりました。
是非、参加してください。このラッキーレディ号は、大きめのクルーザーなので、安心でした。本当に参加してよかったです。
必ず、乗る前に、酔い止めを飲むことは必要です。日本人は、ウインドブレーカーを持っていかれたほうがいいです。私は、日本では、暑がりですが、着ていてよかったと思いました。水をかぶることもあります。

Worth the wait
Reviewed by: Lee
This was our third try to get this ride. Weather kept us from seeing this amazing island and coast. This time…oh my! The weather cooperated and we were given quite a tour. Our pilot, Duke, was terrific. Duke was so knowledgeable about the island. Plus, Jurassic Park soundtrack. Go ahead and splurge for the front seats…you will not be disappointed! We recommend this flight for everyone. Blue Hawaiian is terrific!

Kauai Na Pali Sunset Cruise with Open Bar & Taco Buffet Dinner - Lucky Lady
Nice sunset tour
Reviewed by: DK
We really enjoyed the sunset cruise yesterday. The captain and his team (Audrey, Haley and G) were all great people, very helpful and considerate during the 5 1/2 tour. Few people got sick due to very strong current and rough water and this team took care of all by comforting them and taking good care of them. We certainly recommend this company for sunset cruises.
Make sure to take motion sick gess pill or patch an hour before the tour start time.
