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>

Wailua River Cruise (Half Day / English Guide)
Since I had previously participated in a tour with a Japanese guide, I joined this affordable tour without a guide this time.
The cheerful English guide entertained everyone, and it was fun to sing and dance together!
After getting off the boat, the well-maintained walkway was reassuring, as my mother, who has some difficulty walking, was able to manage the distance.
The Wailua River Cruise is wonderful no matter how many times you come!

シダの洞窟観光遊覧船(半日/英語ガイド)
以前は日本語ガイドのツアーに参加したので、今回はガイド不要だったのでお安いこのツアーに参加。
陽気で皆を楽しませる英語ガイドで、一緒に歌ったりダンスしたりと面白かったです!
ボートを降りてからも少し脚が悪い母でも歩ける距離できちんと歩道も整備されており安心でした。
何度来ても素敵なワイルアリバークルーズでした。

Wailua River Kayak & Secret Falls Hike - Guided Kauai Adventure

Go!

Reviewed by: Nathan from LA

This was one of the highlights of our trip, like the title say... Go! It was beautiful, challenging (slippery on a sunny day - potentially dangerous if you aren’t wearing proper shoes for the hike portion) and exhilarating. Our guide Tyler was a wealth of information and kept everyone relaxed through a new experience.

3.5-Hour Na Pali Sunset Dinner Cruise with Open Bar on Holo Holo Catamaran

Nice trip to take to see the coast

Reviewed by: capgard

No complaints about the boat, captain and crew. It was all professional and attentive. Food was great, beer selection included local and usual brands. As advertised, they don't overcrowd the boat, so there's plenty of room for the passengers. I do recommend a light jacket and hat. Unless you stay in the cabin, you will get wet. How much will depend on where you sit/stand. Amazing views to be seen and we were lucky enough to see a school of porpoises jumping around the ship. Sunset off the aft (back) of the ship was worth it.

Snuba Tours of Kauai | Small-Group Guided Beach SNUBA Diving Tour at Lawai Beach

Snuba Diving

Reviewed by: Cody

We had Kevin and Jared lead our snuba diving experience. They were extremely friendly and knew everyone in our group on a first name basis. My wife and I were a little nervous before arriving because we had never done anything like this before. The experience was amazing! It was easy to breathe under water and Kevin and Jared provided all kinds of tips for getting water out of your goggles, breathing, communicating, swimming, ear pressure relief and more. I would go back in a heartbeat. The tour is also led by a guide (Kevin). He points out creatures and picks them up (if possible/safe) along the way. He also swam slow to allow you to explore and not get exhausted. The guides are constantly checking on you throughout the entire trip. FIVE STARS!

This was a great way to really see Kauai by water and land. The waterfall was worth the hike. Remember to wear really good shoes for the hike as you will cross over some fast moving water. My shoes kept slipping off. Overall, a great activity.

Thanks for your review. Always have loved the Hawaiian word for waterfall: "wail lele" which is defined as "jumping waters". Come back and enjoy our other snorkel and paddling tours. And yes...aqua shoes or sturdy tennis shoes is a must. A hui hou and thanks again.

ヘリコプター遊覧飛行 ワイメア渓谷&ナ・パリ・コースト&ハナレイ湾 <英語ガイド/リフエ空港>

The stunning cliffs of the Na Pali Coast, the many waterfalls, and the deep blue sea and coastline were breathtaking. I also want to thank Pilot and the staff! ナ パリ コースト 険しい渓谷、幾筋もの滝、紺碧な海と海岸線に感動iiそしてPilotさんとStuffの皆さんに感謝‼

Reviewed by: ユウヤケパットマン

I had been seeing and hearing about this wonderful scenery on TV, but I was moved to be able to see it with my own eyes. Thanks to Pilot Mr. Darren's English and his witty explanations in Japanese, I forgot my pre-flight anxiety, relaxed, and the time flew by. I will share a few experiences I had while participating in this tour for your reference.

1. It takes about 10 minutes (1 km) to walk from Lihue Airport to the Blue Hawaiian office. (I used the Kauai bus from my hotel for reference.)
2. When you open the entrance door, the reception is right in front. You will state your name at the reception counter. Next, you will weigh yourself, and the scale is located right under the mat where you are standing. (They seemed to explain something, but I couldn't catch it well.)
3. They will inform you of the start time for the tour explanation.
4. The explanation about the tour (safety) is done with a projector, and they provide subtitles for foreigners. At the end of the initial orientation, they will ask if anyone needs it, so I said "Japanese." (I missed hearing it.)
5. After the projector explanation, you will be informed of your seat position in the helicopter you will be riding.
6. After the tour, you can purchase a USB memory with the day's flight images (with audio) at the reception counter. It was $40.

テレビで見聞きしていましたが、この素晴らしい景観をこの目で見ることができて感動の時間を過ごせました。Pilot(Mr.ダレン)さんの英語と軽妙な日本語での説明で、飛行前の不安を忘れ、リラックスでき、あっという間の時間でした。このツアーに参加するにあたって経験したことを少し、記載しますので参考にしてください。
1. リフエ空港からBlue Hawaiiann事務所まで徒歩で約10分(1㎞)くらい。
  (ホテルからカウアイバスを利用したので参考まで)
2.入口ドアを開けると、正面に受付。受付カウンターで名前を告げます。次に、当日の体重を測ることになるのですが、ちょうど自分が立っている足マットの下が、体重計になっています。(何やら説明されていたようですが、よく聞き取れませんでした。)
3. ツアーについての説明開始時間を教えてくれます。
4. ツアーについての説明(安全)は、プロジェクターで行われますが、外国人向けに字幕を付けてくれます。最初のオリエンテーションの最後に必要な人は、と問われるので、”Japanese”。(私は、聞き逃しました。)
5.プロジェクターでの説明後に、自分の乗るヘリコプターの座席位置が知らされます。
6.ツアー終了後、受付カウンターで当日のフライト画像(音声付き)のUSBメモリーを購入できます。40でした。

  • 海岸線でポットポンドを発見!!

  • この日は、たくさんの滝が見れました。翌日の海からのアプローチでは、まったく見れませんでした。

  • よくテレビで見かけます。

Smiths Family Garden Luau in Kauai - Authentic Hawaiian Dinner & Show

An authentic Polynesian evening in Kauai

Reviewed by: Darcy

On our last night on the island, my friend and I went to the Smith's Luau, and it was one of our most memorable times on Kauai. It was not only informative, but entertaining as well. You can tell that this family owned and operative business is run with love and a true appreciation for Hawaiian culture.

The tram ride took us along the huge gardens, and was a great way to get a quick view of the area. I loved that they have a herd of goats! The babies were just so cute! It was also close to where they were doing the imu or underground oven ceremony. Picture time!

The food was plentiful and really tasty. I loved that they had entertainment (music and dancing) while we ate, and the only thing is that I would personally skip the fruit punch. It was just too sweet! But the food, man! I had two full plates and would have had more, but would have ended up rolling out of there.

Our night concluded with some fantastic performances, and although they weren't the most polished, they were filled with sincerity and a love of hula that can't be matched. You can tell that they truly enjoy being on that stage and it is just so moving. Really happy we went :)

It was a good way to check out some of the sites of movie scenes from Kauai. Relaxing and no stress, if that’s what you seek. Jonna was great, providing more of a local perspective and was also one of the founders of this movie tour. However note that due to recent flooding, tour won’t bring you to Hanalei Pier.

Waimea Canyon Sightseeing Tour & Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto

Two Places NOT To Be Missed on Kauai

Reviewed by: KathyK

The trip to Waimea Canyon was made so much better because of our tour guide, Kevin, and his narration / history of Kauai. The canyon itself rivals Grand Canyon in beauty. The trip across the island to Wailua was also full of history and Kevin made it fun; lots of movie trivia and fun facts. The river cruise was entertaining and the Fern Grotto is breathtaking. We were also lucky enough to see a baby wild pig while walking back to the riverboat. This is one tour well worth the time and 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>

The breathtaking views of Jurassic Park. ジュラシックパークの絶景

Reviewed by: ハイハイ

We participated as a couple, and all the other participants were foreigners. On the way there, we took a boat and after about 30 minutes of searching for dolphins, we went snorkeling. The water was a bit cold, but we enjoyed it for about 30 minutes. However, the coral wasn't as impressive as in Okinawa. After about an hour, we arrived at the Na Pali Coast. The breathtaking view was spectacular and definitely worth the trip (see photo). We spent about an hour exploring around the Na Pali Coast, and then had lunch on the way back, but I couldn't eat due to seasickness. Unfortunately, I had to have my lunch packed to go. About 30 minutes before disembarking, the waves calmed down, and I recovered from the seasickness, allowing me to have a late lunch. We made it back safely.

One point to note: the meeting place, "Port Allen Marine Center," refers to the area, but you need to go to the tour company "Holo Holo." I found this out by asking at a different office. I would like the voucher to reflect this information.
