Snuba Tours of Kauai | Small-Group Guided Beach SNUBA Diving Tour at Lawai Beach
Excellent time!
Reviewed by: Mack
Although the swell was big the couple days before, the snuba tour was great. We saw lots of fish, invertebrates and saw some pretty corals. Glad I bought a case for my phone so I could capture everything we saw. This was our son’s first exposure to snuba and he loved it. Now wants to get scuba certified. Doug and Josh were great guides! Would definitely do it again!
Bring an underwater camera!

A great time zooming down the zip lines. The first one was a bit of a leap of faith but afterwards it was a lot of fun. Highly recommend an adventure zip lining. And our guides were fun and entertaining.

Secret Kauai Waimea Canyon & Coastlines Private Island Tour with Optional Hike
Sean is the best tour guide we've ever had!!!
Reviewed by: Mann Ohana
My family (wife and 2 daughters, ages 9 & 11) ands I had an absolutely amazing day with Sean touring the west side of Kauai!! We went into the Waimea Canyon and also spent time in Hanapepe, the Kauai Coffee Plantation, the Warehouse for lunch (and shopping...), and even met some friendly chickens (Sean's friends) and enormous sea turtles on Poipu beach! A truly amazing day, all thanks to Sean! He is not only incredibly knowledgable about all things Hawaii (and especially Kauai), but he was a total pleasure to be with and chat with, and he catered to our every need (timing, logistics, tour, drinks/snacks, pics, bathroom breaks, etc.). We definitely look forward to seeing Sean again to tour the rest of the island and will for sure recommend him to everyone we know!! Mahalo!

Sacred Falls Adventure - Wailua River Kayak, Hike & Waterfall Swim
Awesome Experience/Thank you Jeffrey
Reviewed by: Barbie n Ken
This was one of the best (if not THE best) Hawaii adventure we've been on yet. Paddling and steering the kayak was definitely difficult for us older newbies, but we were able to figure it out and not capsize.
Our guide Jeffrey was very experienced and showed great patience with the group; we felt like he was one of the reasons we enjoyed the experience so much.
Thanks again for the memories...
The hiking trail is very slippery at times, we recommend comfortable shoes with some grip.
Aloha Barbie n Ken,
Wow! "The best" Hawaii adventure? Will if truth be told we really…really try to put on a good show we are never as good as our guides who are hand picked and give 100%+
Jeff is the consummate guide and has raised the bar and is a real pro.
Lastly, thanks for advising folks that the trail to paradise can be slippery.
A hui hou,

Private Kauai Doors On & Off Na Pali Coast Air Tour - Mauna Loa Helicopter
Reaching for new heights
Reviewed by: KelseyEric
My husband, Eric, and I were excited to ride in a helicotper ride while on our honeymoon. It was a first time adventure for either of us as we had never 1) been to Hawaii before and 2) ridden a helicopter before. The adventure happened early in the day, and we enjoyed some beautiful sites. I particularly enjoyed seeing the beautiful clear water of the ocean and the rust colored Waimea Canyon.
Mahalo for sharing your wonderful experience! We're thrilled to hear that you and Eric had an unforgettable helicopter ride during your honeymoon. It's fantastic that you got to explore Hawaii for the first time together, and we couldn't agree more about the breathtaking views.
The clear blue waters and the stunning rust-colored Waimea Canyon truly are sights to behold! We're so glad you enjoyed the early morning adventure and the beautiful sights that Kauai has to offer. Your enthusiasm is contagious, and we hope this is just the beginning of many more adventures together.
Thank you for choosing us to be a part of your special memories, and we can’t wait to welcome you back for your next Hawaiian adventure!

3.5-Hour Kauai Napali Sunset Dinner Cruise with Open Bar - Holo Holo Charters
Dinner cruise in November
Reviewed by: Robi
The water was rough, lots of big swells, people were throwing up over the side or in the bathroom, some laid on the benches in the cabin area. Food was not anything fancy but the crew members were very nice, we have been on some very high end dinner cruises and felt disappointed in this one. Shame that so many people didn't eat at all or very little and trying to drink anything was a mission due to the swells. I did take some breathtaking pictures of the sunset, thankfully I took motion sickness medicine.
If the water is that rough offer a refund or reschedule.

Outfitters Kauai Zipline Trek Adventures at Kipu Ranch
Educational and exciting fun for most ages
Reviewed by: Eric D
Our guides, Haylen and Tanner were kind knowledgeable and fun to work with the zip lines were a blast and the water at the swimming spot was refreshing after standing in all that gear for a while every line was different and had a beautiful view of the landscape. I only wish I could share the video to really show the experience. My wife and I loved it. Not for the feeble some hiking is involved. Honestly I wish there was one more line or a little more time at the swimming spot
Kids need to be at least 60lbs. you should be able to do some hiking, not much is necessary.

Aloha Utahan,
Like others who have had the good fortune to be in the company of Izzie, your guide Izzy has a growing fan club.
If Izzy knew it, she could fast become an influencer.
Seriously, Izzy has raised the bar for all guides plying the Wailua River on their way to enjoying the Sacred/Secret Falls.

Bucket List Checked Off

I was extremely nervous due a life long crippling fear of heights, but due to the amazing guides Hillary and Taelen I had the time of my life! They were fun, polite, encouraging and most importantly -professional! They absolutely made the experience the best possible! No matter how much they are being paid - it's not nearly enough!
There is one steep but relatively short hike between platforms. Don't quit there! Just go slow.

5-Hour Liko Kauai Catamaran Tour - Na Pali Coast Sea Caves & Snorkel with Lunch
The views were amazing!
Reviewed by: Johnson Family
The boat ride was great- seeing the Na Pali coast from the Pacific was incredible. The tour guide was a fantastic guide, sharing stories about the history of Kaua’i , including her connections through her great grandparents. Learning about the land and history over time made a lasting impression. Hearing about the connections to movie settings was also cool. We encountered spinner dolphin pod and it was exciting to see so many surfacing and putting on a show. The snorkeling was Awesome, it was great how the boat had a specific location to secure to that was near the reef. Snorkeling was very organized and I felt safe. We saw many colored fish and even a sea turtle.
I appreciated the introduction before we started the tour and the guidance if we felt seasick. I was unfortunately one who experienced sea sickness about halfway through the trip, where we encountered the roughest water. The crew was compassionate and offered comforts. I felt better as we headed toward calmer waters and snorkeling location and was able to enjoy the snorkeling.
We had 5 in our traveling party and all were very impressed with the sights-totally worth it!
The morning tour was great! Heed the recommendation for motion sickness precautions.
