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>
It was a tour where you could enjoy Hawaiian music on a boat.
ボートでハワイアンミュージックも楽しめるツアーでした
Activity Date: 2024/05/03 | Posted on: 2024/05/11

Check-in information:
Please note that the map guidance is not accurate. You can check in by providing your name at the ticket booth near the Wailua River boat launch. By the way, I was able to ride the bicycle I borrowed from the hotel and park it there.

About the tour:
On the boat, there was a sightseeing guide (historical explanation), and we all stood up and danced to Hawaiian music, creating a cheerful atmosphere. It's enjoyable even if you participate alone. I don't know what it was like when we could enter the fern cave, so compared to that, the fern volume seems a bit lacking, but it was still a good tour.

チェックインについて
地図の案内とずれているので注意です。ワイルアリバーボート乗り場のチケット売り場のところで名前を伝えれば受付できます。ちなみに、ホテルで借りた自転車でいき、停めることができました。

ツアーについて
ボートでは観光案内(歴史説明)もあったり、ハワイアンミュージックでみんなで立ち上がって踊ったり、陽気な雰囲気で過ごせました。1人参加でも楽しめます。シダの洞窟の中に入れた当時を知らないので、それに比較するとシダボリュームが貧弱のようですが、それでも良いツアーでした。

Fantastic experience!
Activity Date: 2024/05/06 | Posted on: 2024/05/10

This was the first time my family joined me trying SNUBA. Doug was the best instructor and guide ever, very patient with beginners. If you have ever considered trying it, this is the place to try. Being able to see the fish and coral up close is amazing. Thank you Doug and Josh for a highlight of our trip.

Aloha Haydee,

Thanks for taking the time to review and for recommending us.

After 40 years we still do not rest on our laurels.

We do have a great crew from the time you give us a call to when we get you out in the "great quiet".

Stay well and active.

Kauai Shore Excursion: Waimea Canyon, Wailua River Cruise & Fern Grotto Tour
Breathe Taking Waimea Canyon
Activity Date: 2024/05/02 | Posted on: 2024/05/05
CMJ

Do yourself a favour by not missing this awesome natural spectacle that is Waimea Canyon if you’re visiting Kaua’i.
The vastness, colours and wildlife are extraordinary.
Wailea River Cruise was average. Staff on the barge were friendly and polite, like all Hawaiian people we have met. But their attempt at humour was off, but more importantly not even close to being funny. The main female host tried sharing information/history along the river, but kept making mistakes and forgetting what she was saying!
Fern Grotto, was disappointing, not only because you can no longer enter the cave due to safety, but I’ve seen better natural amphitheatres.
Still worth seeing as it’s part of the package.
Our tour guide Leonme from Roberts Hawaii Tours was awesome. Very funny, very informative.

We loved the plane ride, checking in was smooth, they took pictures of us with the plane which was nice, and the employee and pilot were very friendly and helpful. We booked last minute but we felt welcomed nonetheless. The plane ride had a smooth take off and landing. And of course, the view was so amazing along with the pilot telling us all about Kauai!

My son and daughter-in-law were on their first trip to Kauai so I ordered a fresh lei greeting. Here is their reaction . . .

5-Hour Liko Kauai Catamaran Tour - Na Pali Coast Sea Caves & Snorkel with Lunch
Really great tour, incredible views and a wonderful captain and crew.
Activity Date: 2024/04/20 | Posted on: 2024/04/24

The Na Pali coast tour was amazing, the views were incredible and the captain and crew were extremely helpful, knowledgeable and skilled in maneuvering the boat into sea caves and along the coast.

We went with the family, including two kids (5 &7 yo) and everyone loved the tour.

The snorkeling was also a highlight and the crew had all the gear to make it safe and fun.

Our lunch was also very yummy!

And as a bonus we saw some dolphins that jumped and flipped out of the water for us, and also a sea turtle.

We could not think of anything that could have been better.

A large high-speed boat was launched, but the waves were high and it rocked quite a bit, causing some people to get seasick. There were also a few people on the deck getting soaked by the waves. After about an hour and a half, we arrived at the Napali Coast, where breathtaking views spread out in a panorama. On the way back, we enjoyed the sunset, making it a double delight.

We participated as a couple. The river cruise was fun with hula dancing and Hawaiian music. However, the fern cave lacked impact and was somewhat unappealing. I would like to participate in your tours again in the future.

Smith’s Fern Grotto River Cruise with Live Hawaiian Music & Hula
River Cruise - Fantastic
Activity Date: 2024/03/20 | Posted on: 2024/04/15

This cruise was great with our 18 month old. The boats are wide and spacious and have great visibility on any seat. We enjoyed the commentary and singing while we rode -- and barely noticed the rain.

The short walk to the fern grotto was lovely and lush. Not to mention the grotto itself. We learned more about the traditions of the place and watch a Hula performance of a love song. The guides did not rush us through the walk and were very warm and friendly.

Recommend -- especially if you have young children and need something fun to do with them. My son loved the boat ride!

Wailua River Kayak & Secret Falls Hike - Guided Kauai Adventure
Amazing experience
Activity Date: 2024/04/10 | Posted on: 2024/04/11

We had the best day!!! From the beautiful weather, the calm kayak conditions, the lush hiking environment, the spectacular falls and our amazing guide Justice, we could not have had a better experience. Justice was incredibly friendly, super knowledgeable, funny (dad jokes lol), patient and an overall great guide who thoroughly enjoys what he does.
As novice kayakers, we had no issues but the river was very calm with very little wind.
As intermediate hikers we found the trail fairly easy to navigate as long as we were mindful on the rocks and roots. On the hike, you WILL get muddy and you WILL get wet crossing 4 streams and 1 river but it’s all worth it once you reach the breathtaking falls.
The lunch supplied by the tour was pretty good too as we picnicked at the falls.
Hiking shoes/sandals or running shoes are best. For anyone with mobility issues, they may find parts of the hike difficult.
We would highly recommend this tour as it was the highlight of our time on Kauai!!

Hanalei River and Blue Lagoon Kayaking & Guided Snorkeling Tour - Kayak Kauai
Awesome adventure for our family of 4!
Activity Date: 2024/04/06 | Posted on: 2024/04/08

My husband and two teenagers loved this kayak adventure! Our guides were very friendly, funny and calm. Jay was very informative and gave us a wonderful history lesson on the island and its culture. He did a wonderful job preparing us for our journey and guiding us through the river and ocean. We did make the journey to the farthest beach on the ocean and it was well worth it! We snorkeled with some sea turtles and enjoyed our time at the beach.

It was a great way to finish up our trip on Kauai. I appreciate all that our guides did to inform us and keep us safe as well as teach us about the island and its culture. I would highly recommend this!

Aloha Jamie,

You went on our other "Secret Tour"!

Our Hanalei Blue Lagoon is slowly getting more recognition and Jay and our other rive/ocean guides are very responsible for this trend.

Jay is great in the field and to work with and as the summer season comes up with us, often is guiding and sea kayaking the more rigorous Na Pali coast.

Thanks for sharing your kind words, as I will with Jay.

Stay active and well.

Wailua River Kayak & Secret Falls Hike - Guided Kauai Adventure
Rising river cancelled half the trip but not half the cost.
Activity Date: 2024/04/05 | Posted on: 2024/04/07

The guide was excellent, the river and surroundings were breathtaking. Unfortunately, high winds and a rising river stopped our paddles without ever seeing the falls. Weather is unpredictable, but since we paddled twice as hard against the winds, it was exhausting. Thought there might be a discount of some kind since our 4 hr. tour only lasted 2 1/2. Better luck next time, I guess. Would do it again with better conditions.

Aloha Reid,

Man proposes and the the gods dispose!

All our guides are excellent and do a great job in not only sharing the cultural and natural history of the area, but most important keeping you safe in questionable weather.

We do offer a discount when weather conspires and abbreviates a tour. Veltra should be extending a discount; if not, you know how to reach us.

Stay well and look forward to your return.
