Guided Waterfall Rappelling Adventure in Kauai
Loved this excursion, and LOVED the team!
Activity Date: 2016/04/27 | Posted on: 2016/04/28

This was the most fun I've had on the island THUS FAR! The staff is amazing!!! Dundee, Paa (spelling?), and Kelsey did a great job giving us a demo of how to rappel. I am TERRIFIED of heights, but I felt fully confident with the expert staff there to help me. Tanya had this motherly feel so I felt really safe knowing she was at the bottom of the waterfall coaching me through. As you're rappelling one of the staff responsible for you is instructing you on what to do, where to put your foot, etc. Mostly you are trying to figure all that out yourself but when it comes to tough parts they help you out. Really great experience and SO MUCH FUN!!!! THANK YOU ALL FOR A WONDERFUL TIME AND FOR MAKING US FEEL LIKE OHANA!

Btw, if you can't swim, THIS EXCURSION IS STILL FOR YOU! I cannot swim but the bottom of the waterfall isn't really deep so it was completely fine :)

This 1 1/2 hr activity is really good for those who doesn't have upper body strength to do kayak to get to grotto which is a beautiful mystical place. The whole family enjoyed very much the ride and the entertainment whose voice is the future IZ. The staff were all awesome! Thank you all for making our day great!

ナ・パリ・コースト サンセットディナークルーズ 運がよければイルカに会えるかも!<夕食・飲み放題付き/英語ガイド/エレエレ地区>
Couldn't see the Na Pali Coast.
ナパリコースト見れず
Activity Date: 2016/03/30 | Posted on: 2016/04/23

After we set sail, I thought it was strange that we were heading south, and we kept drifting further away from the Napali Coast. It seems that the waves were too high, and they changed the destination. I was really looking forward to it, so it's a disappointing outcome. I believe there was probably an announcement from the captain before we set off, but I couldn't understand any of the English. At least one small consolation is that I was able to see a whale in the distance.

出航後、南へ向かったのでおかしいなと思っていたのですが、どんどんナパリコーストとは離れていくばかり。どうやら波が高くて行き先を変更したようです。ものすごく楽しみにしていたので悲しい結果です。おそらく出航前に船長からアナウンスがあったとは思いますが、英語がさっぱりわからず。せめてもの救いは、クジラを遠目に見れたことかな。

Waimea Canyon Sightseeing Tour & Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto
Fantastic Tour of Kauai!
Activity Date: 2016/04/19 | Posted on: 2016/04/22

We had a great time! Juan, our tour guide, was fabulous! What a wonderful time. Everyone on the bus was entertained as well as having a good time. We were exhausted by the end of the day and it was worth it!
Highly recommended. Everyone in your party will get to be a sightseer and have a driver to do the work!

Canyon & River Cruise
Activity Date: 2016/04/03 | Posted on: 2016/04/17

Our guide - Rosario - was well informed and jovial. As there were only 7 of us on the trip Rosario was able to spend more time showing us interesting points on the island. The Canyon itself was beautiful although the River Cruise was a bit naff

Activity Date: 2016/04/08 | Posted on: 2016/04/15

We were a group of 6 adults (family). Absolutely the best. A challenge to learn the breathing, but easy to catch on with great instruction. Then the sights and fish underwater without snorkel limitations was amazing! Two of us were return participants and Kevin our guide did not let us down.

We had a fantastic time. Ian, Jeremy and Kama did a wonderful job and took great care of us. The scenery was amazing, and they filled us in on some history of the area. We even got to see some whales breach, accompanied by spinner Dolphins!. Great trip and would recommend to anyone. Holo Holo did a first class job!

Waimea Canyon Sightseeing Tour & Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto
Waited Canyon and Fern Grotto tour 30 Mar, 2016.
Activity Date: 2016/03/30 | Posted on: 2016/04/02

Our guide , Jacque Cousteau, (Jack Custer) was great! He was so knowledgeable and seemed to enjoy sharing with us. My grandson and I learned a lot and had fun. My only complaint was having to drive from Waimea Plantation Cottages to the Sheraton to meet the tour, while Princeville guests WERE picked up. When I signed up for the tour online, it said we would be picked up. The day before, I got a call saying we would have to get ourselves to the Sheraton.

Smiths Family Garden Luau in Kauai - Authentic Hawaiian Dinner & Show
Kauai's Best Luau
Activity Date: 2016/03/28 | Posted on: 2016/03/31

We had a wonderful time at the Smith Luau. The site is amazing and utterly beautiful; the connection to Kauai history is impressive and impeccable. We enjoyed visiting and getting to know the other people at our table, even though they were strangers. The food was fantastic, varied and perfectly prepared. We loved the fact that nothing felt rushed or skimpy. The presentation in the theater was exceptionally well performed and really captured the variety of island cultures that have created this Pacific paradise. There was absolutely nothing about this evening that I would have made any different.

We enjoyed this trip so much but I caution that the hike is a lot more rugged than I expected. Lots of rocky terrain to navigate, wear good footwear that can get wet.

Smith’s Fern Grotto River Cruise with Live Hawaiian Music & Hula
AMAZING! If you haven't booked a luau this trip Do THE CRUISE!
Activity Date: 2015/05/26 | Posted on: 2016/03/14

When we booked our trip to HI my husband had been 3-4 times already. I hadn't been at all. He convinced me not to book a luau. We really like food and figured we'd save the money for something else. Once we got to HI I was really-really bummed we didn't have a luau on the docket, and it was too late to book anything.

This cruise was amazing and once we did it we weren't so bummed about missing the luau. The cruise is so peaceful. The guide is a smith family member and his family owns the land surrounding the river. He knows so much about the land and has tons of stories he tells while you cruise up and down the river.

You stop at the fern grotto, which is so cool. It's a must see on any trip to Kauai. The musicians on the cruise play songs and play a special song to people who have just gotten married or celebrating anniversaries.

Then on the ride back the musicians play native songs. It's the next best thing to a luau.

Already did it once but will do it again!

Overall me and my wife had a great time at the Luau. The gardens were really nice to walk around in and see all the different types of plants and trees. The show was really nice, they showcased dances from the different cultures that make up Hawaii. The only thing that my wife didn't like was the food. I personally didn't think it was too bad. Definitely a good experience for anyone visiting the island!
