This was a great tube ride down the canals. You were very good in helping my husband who has trouble walking. We really enjoyed the whole adventure and I, as a travel advisor will recommend your company to others.

This was a bucket list item for me. From the moment we took off the the second we landed o was having the time of my life. The beauty, the open cockpit, the sharp banks left and right, the waterfalls. I could not have had a better experience! Thank you Kauai Air. You made our whole trip!

Napali Coast from the Sky
空からのナパリコースト
Activity Date: 2026/06/27 | Posted on: 2026/06/29

My wife and I participated in a flight just before noon. The other passengers were three people from America. The pilot and guide provided explanations in both English and Japanese, making for a very fulfilling flight. The views of Kauai Island and the Na Pali Coast from the sky were impressive and wonderful. I was constantly taking videos and photos.

妻と二人で、お昼前の飛行に参加しました。後の乗客はアメリカからの3人。
パイロット兼ガイドさんが、英語と日本語で説明をしてくれて、とても充実したフライトでした。空から観るカウアイ島、ナパリコーストは見応えがあり、素晴らしいです。ずっと動画と写真を撮っていました。

Kauai Mountain Tubing Adventure – Float Through Jungle Tunnels & Canals
The best part was all the people.
Activity Date: 2026/06/21 | Posted on: 2026/06/23

The zip lines let you fly through pristine jungle land and let you see beautiful Kauai with a new perspective. What a rush.
Though flying through the air was fun, the best part was meeting all of the other people on the tour. Families with graduating students and solo travelers who are trying to absorb absolutely as much of the Love of Kauai as they can before returning to the grind and study of everyday life. It was fun getting to know them and hear their stories.

Smith’s Fern Grotto River Cruise with Live Hawaiian Music & Hula
Activity Date: 2026/06/16 | Posted on: 2026/06/22

The river cruise was peaceful and lovely and a great option for a vacation with a baby in our party. We could not clearly hear what the tour guide was saying on the microphone, so we missed what was being said about what we were viewing, but the boat ride itself was lovely. We enjoyed the hike to the Fern Grotto.

Smith’s Fern Grotto River Cruise with Live Hawaiian Music & Hula
Everything I was hoping for
Activity Date: 2026/06/16 | Posted on: 2026/06/18

We had a large group of family who came with us, including grandchildren from ages 7-9 yrs - was interesting to hear the authentic music, history, and stories of this location of the river valley and grotto. (The walk to the Grotto wasn't far, on a poured path, maybe a city block, more or less, but we may have been distracted by the beauty of the place!)
On the way back, some stopped by the bathrooms before getting back on the boat. Then we heard more music as we headed back on the boat- talented instruments and voices, the captain told more info about the dances as we watched, and we were taught some of the actions as we stood and danced to the music, too! Was fun!
We wore mosquito spray but had no real reason to- they weren't too bad on this particular afternoon in June. 2 pm ride, back by 3:30.

We had a blast. Ages of participants ranged from 5-75. It was just the best. The guides were all so fun and particularly attentive to the 5 year old. We'd do it again in a minute.

Fun with Guide Natalie

We had a great time tubing in Kauai. Natalie was our guide and she helped us have a great time. She communicated clearly and with a great sense of humor. She listened and talked with the kids so they felt like they were an important part of the group. She made a tremendous effort to remember all of our names!! Very impressive!! She was with us the whole way and introduced her team. It was a very fun experience

Aloha Scott,

Wailele, "jumping waters", is the Hawaiian for waterfalls.

Lindsey, is a pro and one of the top guides plying the waters of the Wailua River complex.

Thanks for letting us know that she is still the gold standard.

Keep chasing waterfalls and rainbows.

Thanks for taking the time.

A hui hou,

Micco/Head Guide
