Kauai Mountain Tubing Adventure – Float Through Jungle Tunnels & Canals

Great time

Reviewed by: Clarke and Robin

We took our family on this tour and are glad we did. The kids both ranked it as one of their favorite activities in Kauai. The staff is friendly and playful. We had a ball with them. Kimo and Melissa were our tubing anchors and they did a great job. If you don't want to get wet and your are worried about your make-up and hair... this tour isn't for you. Great family fun. Would have liked a bit more time at the swimming hole at the end of the tour. We recommend!

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>

When it comes to Kauai, this is definitely the place. カウアイ島といえば、やっぱりここかな

Reviewed by: ちゃちゃちゃこ

Before the luau show, we took a tram tour around the park, which featured various themed gardens and was quite spacious.

As for the food, I would say it was just average.

The main show included not only Hawaiian performances but also dances representing Polynesia, China, and Japan, which added a unique twist. However, for those who are repeat visitors to Hawaii and have seen other luau shows around Waikiki, it might feel a bit lacking. I was expecting Hawaiian and Tahitian hula, so I found it somewhat unsatisfying.

That said, the fire dance was definitely exciting, and if you're visiting Kauai, I think it's worth seeing this luau at least once. It's one of the few nighttime entertainment options in Kauai.

After the show, there are opportunities to take photos with the dancers, but I didn't have a chance to do that here. I ended up buying the photo they took when we entered for $20.

ルアウショーの前に、トラムに乗って園内を見学するのですが、
色んなテーマ別の庭園になっていて、広いお庭でした。

食事については、普通かな…という感想です。

肝心のショーは、ハワイアン以外にポリネシアや中国・日本を表した踊りもあり、
ちょっと変わった面白さもありましたが、ハワイのリピーターで、
ワイキキあたりで他のルアウショーみたことある方だと、物足りないかもしれません。
私は、ハワイアン・タヒチアンフラを期待していたので、ちょっと物足りなかったです。

でもファイヤーダンスはやっぱり盛り上がりますし、カウアイ島に来たのなら
1度はここのルアウ観ておくとよいかなと思います。
数少ない、カウアイの夜の娯楽ですしね。

終わった後、ダンサーの方と写真を撮ってもらえるショーもありますが、
ここは撮る機会はなかったです。
入園の時、撮ってくれた写真($20)買ってしまいました。

Kipu Safari Adventure - Zipline, Hike, Kayak & Waterfall Swim with Lunch

Great value for the money & SO FUN!

Reviewed by: Leddon

We had an amazing adventure with the wonderful staff at Outfitters Kauai. The zips were so fun, and we felt very safe. The kayak in was a fun little adventure and the hike in wasn't tough at all. The staff were so wonderful. We felt like there us no way we could have had so much fun for a whole day deal for the price. Nick, Mitch, and Golden were so funny and personable. Bring a camera with a wrist strap, your swim suit for the two swimming holes (one with a mini zip), sunscreen, water shoes, and big spray. Mahalo, Outfitters!! Ya'll are the best!

Small-Group Circle Island Airplane Tour with Window Seat - Air Ventures Kauai

Great Fun!

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

This was a great attraction to take! I was told the best way to see Kauai was by air, but was not crazy about taking a helicopter ride, so this was a great alternative. The pilot, Paul, was great and very informative! The weather wasn't the best (rained some), but we still got to see alot and Paul made sure that if it was raining in one area, we went around it to see it from the back side or another angle. It was great! There was six in my group and we all said we would do it again!

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>

Cave of the Ferns シダの洞窟

Reviewed by: イキ

I participated in an activity on the afternoon of the day I flew from Japan to Hawaii, and then to Kauai. Since I was dealing with jet lag, a calm activity like this was just right for our first day in Hawaii with the kids.

It might have been nice to combine this with the "Hawaiian Traditional Feast Luau and Sacred Ceremony Imu! Smith Tropical Paradise Luau," which is located on the same grounds. Our family watched the luau on the last day in Kauai, but among those on the same boat, quite a few were planning to have dinner and see the luau show after this boat ride.

The Fern Grotto was beautiful, but everyone in the family got bitten by mosquitoes. I recommend applying insect repellent before participating.

日本からハワイへ、さらにカウアイ島へ飛んできたその日の午後に参加しました。時差ぼけの状態なので子どもも連れてのハワイ初日はこのぐらいの穏やかなアクティビティがちょうどよかったです。

同じ敷地内にある、「ハワイ伝統饗宴ルアウと神聖な儀式イム!スミス・トロピカル・パラダイス・ルアウ」と組み合わせてもよかったかもしれません。私たち家族はカウアイ島最終日にルアウを分けて見ましたが、同じ船に乗っている人の中では、この船の後に夕食とルアウのショーを見る予定である人が結構いました。

シダの洞窟はきれいでしたが、家族みんな蚊に刺されました。虫除けを塗っての参加をお奨めします。

5-Hour Liko Kauai Catamaran Tour - Na Pali Coast Sea Caves & Snorkel with Lunch

A snorkel cruise without snorkeling

Reviewed by: dan collins

First, let me say it was a fun trip. The crew was awesome; they knew the area and did a great job of explaining everything we saw. The lunch was great. We got to see whales, turtles and dolphins. But when you book a snorkeling cruise because that's what we wanted to do and there's no snorkeling and no explanation as to why, that's why I'd say this is a rip-off.

Kauai Movie Sightseeing Tour - Roberts Hawaii

Kauai Movie Tour

Reviewed by: Ron Besler

We enjoyed the tour and rank it as one of our best that we have ever taken. The guide was knowledgeable, had a great sense of humour and was very courteous. We had no idea that Kauai was such a movie making mecca! The structure of the DVD played during the tour was done very well.The addition of singing along with the South Pacific musical song of 'We Ain't Got Dames' was a fitting end to a great tour.
The driver was courteous and very conscious of our needs. We would recommend this to others and have fond memories of this tour

Kauai Movie Sightseeing Tour - Roberts Hawaii

A must-do for movie lovers!

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

This is a top-notch tour for movie and television lovers alike! The locations picked are ones which are instantly recognizable from the clips played by the tour guides en-route to each place. Many of the locations are absolutely stunning, and provide ample photo opportunities.

The guides on this tour are top-notch and provide detailed information about each stop and the movies/TV shows which were filmed there.

Being able to visit the abandoned Coco Palms was definitely a highlight of this tour. This is an exclusive that only Roberts Hawaii offers and is a big plus for booking with them!

I thoroughly enjoyed everything about this tour and highly recommend it to movie fans of all ages!

Reviewed by: Jeff and Tammy

This tour is a lot of fun. The crew is friendly and they make you feel comfortable. The experience was so AWESOME. My husband and I did this tour on our honeymoon and had such a great time. The scenery was beautiful and the tunnels were very cool. We highly recommend this adventure! One thing to note: Wear a long sleeve water shirt if you go during the winter months. The water is really COLD. After a few minutes, you will get use to the water, however, the wind can be a little overwhelming. Regardless, this is a must do activity. We will do it again when we return to the island.

カウアイ島 ワイルア川カヤック&熱帯雨林ハイキング <英語ガイド/昼食付き>

It was fun!! 楽しかった!!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

It was my first time kayaking, and it was a lot of fun. We sat in a two-person boat, going upstream for about an hour. Then we walked through the jungle, during which the guide taught us various things. We had lunch in front of a waterfall and then returned to where we started by kayak.

I think it's fine to wear a swimsuit underneath with a shirt and shorts. I would recommend avoiding athletic shoes or flip-flops, as the paths in the jungle are quite muddy and your feet will get messy. We rented sports sandals from the tour company for a fee.

Of course, since the guide speaks only English, I think it would be more enjoyable if you understand English.

カヤックは初めてでしたが、とても楽しかったです。
2人乗りのボートに前後で座って、1時間弱ぐらい上流へ行きます。そのごジャングルの中を歩きながら進みますが、その途中でガイドさんが色々なことを教えてくれます。滝の前で昼食を食べその後カヤックで出発したところに戻ります。
服装は水着を中にきてシャツと短パンでOKだと思います。
運動靴やビーチサンダルは止めておいたほうが良いと思います。ジャングルの中はかなりの泥道で足がぐちゃぐちゃになります。私たちは、お金を払ってツアー会社からスポーツサンダルを借りました。
もちろんガイドさんは全て英語の為英語がわかるほうが楽しめると思います。

The best!! 最高!!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

We gathered at 6 AM, starting in complete darkness. Right after we set out, we witnessed the sunrise and encountered dolphins, making for a very satisfying tour. The Na Pali Coast was incredibly beautiful, making it feel like we were in a movie. Although we couldn't land on Niihau Island, we were able to go snorkeling at a nearby beach. The water was very clear and beautiful. However, since all the explanations were in English, I think it would be more enjoyable if someone who speaks English was present.

6時集合ということで真っ暗な所からのスタートでした。
出向してすぐ日の出があったり、イルカに遭遇したり、
大満足なツアーでした。
ナパリコーストも凄く綺麗で、映画の世界にいるようでした。
ニイハウ島へは上陸できませんが、近くの海辺でシュノーケリングができます。海もとても澄んでいて綺麗でした。
ただ全てが英語での説明なので、英語がしゃべれる人がいた方がより楽しめるのかな?と思います。

Kipu Safari Adventure - Zipline, Hike, Kayak & Waterfall Swim with Lunch

Great Activity

Reviewed by: Jessica

My husband and I were island-hopping on our honeymoon when we participated in the Zipline Safari with Hiking and Kayaking in Kauai. One of our guides said he felt it was his job to make us fall in love with his island, and this tour certainly helped us do that. The price was fair for all of the inclusions of the tour, and the lunch provided was more than enough food. We had never been kayaking, but the river was very smooth and calm, so we were able to keep up and didn't have any issues. The hikes, swimming spots, stories, and "history lessons" were amazing. I have never seen such a beautiful forest. The Zipline was awesome as well and our guides took every safety precaution necessary to make us feel at ease. I would definitely recommend this activity for anyone looking for a more physical adventure. Be sure to wear a bathing suit, sunscreen, and bring hiking sandals or water socks because you should definitely get wet!

Holo Holo Super Kauai Snorkel Tour - Niihau & Na Pali Coast Adventure with Breakfast, Lunch & Drinks

What a ride

Reviewed by: dearljade

We really enjoyed this cruise. The Na Pali coast is very beautiful. The breakfast and lunch was great. The snorkeling was fantastic. Getting to see a monk seal basking in the sun was really great. The ride home was the only part of the trip that was challenging. I recommend anyone taking this cruise to take a dramimine before departing. On the ride back the crew passed out plenty of buckets, people were getting sick because of the rough ride. It is not the fault of the crew, the seas are especially rough. The only warning we got ahead of time was that it is an "E" ticket ride on the way back. No one on the boat knew exactly what to expect. We were lucky enough not to be the ones who did get sick. Well worth the money and the views are breath taking. It is an experience we will never forget. The crew was very nice and helpful. Thanks y'all!!

The crew members were all enthusiastic. 船員さんはみんな熱心でしたよ

Reviewed by: js

I was able to take my time to enjoy the Napali Coast, and I even had the delightful experience of encountering a pod of dolphins along the way. There were detailed safety considerations, so I didn't feel particularly anxious. However, there were hardly any Japanese people, so all the explanations were in English, and due to the noise of the boat, I could hardly understand anything. It's a shame because the guide was doing their best to provide information. I might need to improve my English skills to enjoy it more. Also, during snorkeling, I was surprised by the lack of fish, so I got out of the water quickly. Maybe the waves made it difficult to find a good spot.

ナパリコーストもゆっくりと見ることができ、途中でイルカの群れに遭遇するという嬉しい出来事もありました。安全面も細かい配慮があったので特に不安に感じることもなかったです。ただ、ほとんど日本人がいないので、説明はすべて英語で、船の騒音もあってほとんど理解できませんでした。ガイドさんが一生懸命案内してくれていたのに残念です。もっと楽しむには英語力が必要かもしれません。あと、シュノーケリングは、なぜここで?と思うくらい魚がいなかったので、すぐあがってしまいました。波があるから場所がないのかな。

Went to Kauai as part of our honeymoon and thoroughly enjoyed the helicopter tour. The most beautiful and amazing parts of Kauai can only be seen from the sky and this helicopter meant we could see it all! Pilot was very friendly and it was a plush helicopter, making it a comfortable journey. The pilot narrated the journey and made sure we saw everything very clearly. When the sun wasn't in the best position, he turned the helicopter around to make sure we got good photographs - nothing was missed! Would fly with Blue Hawaiian again :)
