Kauai Sunset Cruise with Open Bar - Ocean & River Boat Tour from Lihue
11/10!
Reviewed by: Scott from Virginia
Capt Stevie and Becca turned a special cruise into something magical. Capt Stevie’s love of the land, the waters, the people, the history, and the culture of Kauai made our sunset cruise a memory for a lifetime. If I’m ever fortunate enough to get back to Kauai, I WILL be rebooking to do the sunset cruise again!

Kauai Mountain Tubing Adventure – Float Through Jungle Tunnels & Canals
Second time as good as the first
Reviewed by: Rumrunner
We we on Kauai 7 years ago and the highlight of that visit was the tubing adventure.
We returned this year and doing it again was a no brainer.
From the pre-adventure information meeting, the ride out to the site ( with excellent information from the guide along the way), the other guides that we met at the site were fun and helpful.
Of course the highlight was the run down the canal on the tubs was great fun.
We had a. Great group of people who all added to the fun, chatting, and yelling along the was( especially when we were in the tunnels.
Lunch hit the spot right we we needed it.
I would not hesitate to do this again when we visit again.
Do not hesitate to do this, it is great fun for all, including seniors.

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＞
効率よく観光
Reviewed by: みれたか
初めてのカウアイ島でレンタカーするのは自信がなかったので、こちらのツアーを申し込みました。 １日で行きたい観光地を回れてとてもよかったです。 ガイドさんはよく説明してくれましたが、英語なのでわかりませんでした。 集合時間をおさえておけばゆったりなツアーなので、英語がわからなくても問題ありませんでした。 カウアイ島の交通事情がよくわからなかったのですが、ゴルフ場やマーケットにはウーバーで問題なく行くことができました。
Aloha and thank you so much for your five-star review!
We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your first visit to Kaua‘i and that the tour allowed you to see all the places you wanted in one day. We understand that language can be a barrier at times, and we truly appreciate your kind words about the relaxed pace and overall experience. We’re also glad you found it easy to get around using Uber outside of the tour. We hope to welcome you back again, and we’ll continue to do our best to make our tours enjoyable for guests from around the world.

Kauai Mountain Tubing Adventure – Float Through Jungle Tunnels & Canals
Totally Tube-ular!!!
Reviewed by: Fitschen
Our family of three had an amazing time tubing through the irrigation canals. Our guide, Griffin, shared so much Hawaiian history and language, on our rainy trip to the drop off area. Kody explained the safety instructions in a simple and fun way that started off our adventure. All three guides were laid back and enjoyable. We had an amazing time and look forward to doing it again on our next trip to Kauai.

Sacred Falls Adventure - Wailua River Kayak, Hike & Waterfall Swim
Core memories made!
Reviewed by: Tingeys
This kayaking and hiking adventure was so awesome! I was worried the kayaking and hike might be difficult but it was perfect! I’ve never been kayaking before and this was a great intro for me! The hike was absolutely beautiful as well and mostly on a board walk which is nice so you’re not having to climb through or slip in the mud. The waterfall was a tad dried up but still so
beautiful and fun to swim to. Our guide Jeff was awesome as well. Very kind and friendly and knowledgeable about Kauai. I would HIGHLY recommend the is excursion and would love to do it again!
Wear your swim suit and water shoes!
Aloha Tingey,
Your guide Jeffrey will be happy to know that you enjoyed the paddle and hike to the falls.
For most the learning curve for paddling a kayak is fast, but then there are some….
Anyway, come back and hopefully the waterfall will be primed and gushing (we have had a dry winter so far)
Thanks for taking the time to share.
A hui hou,

Stevie and Sage were excellent boatmen. It was very windy and choppy in the bay. The river section of the trip was better. Captain Stevie was very knowledgeable about lots of things and informative.
For what we paid per person, a classier selection of snacks would have enhanced the experience.

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＞
見どころを１日で効率よく回れました
Reviewed by: Rosa
ホノルルから日帰りで参加。初めてのカウアイ島だったので、取り敢えず有名な見どころを１日で回りたくて参加しました。２０人の参加者のうち私を含めて７名がホノルルからの日帰りでした。見どころ各所で充分な時間がありゆっくりと見学できたのが良かったです。ランチタイムもゆっくりできました。最後に事故渋滞で時間が掛かり帰りのフライトに間に合うかどうかハラハラしましたが、ガイドさんが本社？の人とやり取りしながら、もし万が一乗り遅れても次のフライトに乗れるように航空会社にも頼んでいるので大丈夫ですよと言ってくれたのがありがたかったです。道路の渋滞状況、バスの現在地などを会社でモニターしているとのことでした。細かいところまで気を配りながらきちんとオペレーションしている会社のようで安心です。
Aloha and mahalo for your thoughtful and detailed review!
We’re so glad you chose to experience Kaua‘i with us on your first visit, and that the tour allowed you to see the island’s highlights at a relaxed and enjoyable pace. We're especially grateful for your kind words about our team’s response during the unexpected traffic delay. Providing peace of mind for our guests—especially day travelers from Honolulu—is very important to us, and we're happy our communication and coordination helped ease your concerns.
Thank you for recognizing the care and attention our team puts into each tour. We hope to welcome you back for more island adventures in the future!

We're an active adult couple, but my husband has some mobility issues and I can at times, experience claustrophobia. We took the chance and signed up for this activity anyway. It was the best experience. Our guide, Noah, was the funniest, kindest person. He took care of us and neither of us experienced any of our issues. I highly recommend this activity, especially those that are wondering if they are too old to enjoy. Just do it!
