Wailua River Kayak & Secret Falls Hike - Guided Kauai Adventure
One of the best activities of our week on Kauai
Activity Date: 2014/09/19 | Posted on: 2014/10/11

My husband, 18-yr-old daughter,and 20-yr-old son completely enjoyed everything about this day adventure. I was unable to participate -- I have a bad knee and wear a brace, and it was recommended that it would be risky for me. Afterwards, my husband said that that was the right decision -- there's a bit of hard work in getting through the mud to the falls. The guide shared interesting local information throughout the day, it was beautiful, fun, active. would do it again. Thank you!

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's fairly hard.
そこそこハードです
Activity Date: 2014/09/09 | Posted on: 2014/10/04

I participated without hotel pickup. The meeting place was a bit vague, but it was fine as long as I approached someone who looked like they were part of the group.

We launched the kayaks into the river for about 30 minutes. Since I wasn't used to it, I fell quite behind. After that, we walked for over an hour on muddy paths and through brush, although there weren't many ups and downs.

We had lunch while enjoying the view of the waterfall, and then we headed back. The lunch was quite substantial, making it tough to carry on the way there.

This tour allows you to truly experience the nature of Kauai.

ホテル送迎なしで参加。待ち合わせ場所はアバウト。こちらからそれらしい人に声かければ、大丈夫です。
カヤックを川におろして、30分程度のカヤック。慣れてないため、かなり遅れをとりました。
その後、アップダウンはそれほどないものの泥道だったり藪だったりの一時間超の歩行。
滝を見ながらお弁当食べて、帰ってきます。お弁当は往路は背負ってるのがつらいほどボリュームたっぷり。
カウアイの自然を肌で感じることができるツアーです。

Great kayak and hike tour. Our guide, Nick, was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Lunch was better than expected. The swim at the end was cold but refreshing. Definitely worth the money and time spent.

3.5-Hour Na Pali Sunset Dinner Cruise with Open Bar on Holo Holo Catamaran
Amazing views and wonderful crew
Activity Date: 2014/09/07 | Posted on: 2014/09/27

I spent a consideral amount of time researching some of the different options for sight seeing tours of the Napali Coast and found this to have the best reviews and all of them were 100% accurate. My girlfriend and I had been very active on our trip to Kauai up to this point and looked to this as a relaxing evening which it was. The Caiptain (his name escapes me) was very funny throughout the trip making sure to update us when we were near items of interest and was also a very skilled navigator, at one point situating the stern of the boat under a waterfall for people who wanted to go under it.

The two deck hands (I am not sure the proper title) were very attentive to all of the guests aboard throughout the entire trip. I forget the gentelmens name that I spoke with but he stood with me for some time explaining to me much of the history of the Napali Coast as well as what it has been like growing up on the Island which made my experience even better. The crew does whatever it takes to make sure you have the best experience possible and my tip to you is to tip them accordingly, they do a great job and deserve it!

I highly recommend this to anyone interested in having an informative relaxing experience. Also, the food was very good and the crew made sure that you always had a drink in your hand.

Excellent tour. Our guide (Juan) gave us an unforgettable day. Not only was the scenery spectacular but Juan also managed to pass on the story of the Hawaiian people and Kauai as experienced by himself through his life growing up on the island. Juan is to be commended and the tour highly recommended. We also took other tours operated by Polynesian Adventure Tours and they were also of a very high standard.

We enjoyed the lush surroundings, however, it cannot compare to our previous trip which was many years ago. At that time we were able to actually walk into the Fern Grotto and listen to the singers in the grotto. We did enjoy the entertainment on our return trip back to the dock.

Got sort of lost looking for the place. We thought we were looking for a building but it's actually a white van. Other than that the crew was great. We had Thomas and another man (sorry forgot his name) but they were understanding and helpful. Our family and friends loved it. It was the highlight of my trip. Can't wait to come back one day to Kauai.

カウアイ島の大自然に癒されるツアー
Activity Date: 2014/08/26 | Posted on: 2014/08/31

I was looking for optional tours on Kauai Island and decided to go with this one since it was confirmed to operate in English only. We visited key spots in one day. The driver, who was also a guide (female), provided comfortable explanations, and the services on the bus made me feel secure participating alone. The restaurant we stopped at for lunch had a great view, and the food was delicious. The highlights were the Wailua River cruise and the fern grotto, where the hula show on the boat and in front of the grotto allowed me to experience Hawaii the most during this trip.

カウアイ島でのオプショナルツアーを探していたところ、英語のみですが催行が確約されているとのことで決めました。要所を1日で巡ります。
ドライバー兼ドライバー(女性)の説明や、バス内のサービスは快適で、一人でも安心して参加できました。
昼食で立ち寄ったお店は見晴らしがよく、料理も美味しかったです。
ハイライトはワイルア川クルーズとシダの洞窟で、船内と洞窟前でのフラショーは今回の旅行で最もハワイを体感できました。

カウアイ島 マウンテン・チューブ・アドベンチャーツアー  浮き輪に乗って大自然の中を川下り<英語ガイド/昼食付き/リフエ地区>
Enjoying a relaxing time.
楽しくのんびり
Activity Date: 2014/05/21 | Posted on: 2014/08/28

We were able to reach the meeting point smoothly by rental car. As expected, we were the only Japanese couple there. During the ride in the Jeep, we had a brief introduction and it was fun to chat in broken Japanese. There was a guide as we walked to the waterway. We just floated down the waterway on large tubes, but there was a tunnel along the way where we turned on our helmet lights and floated through. While it wasn't thrilling, it was enjoyable to just float along with the current, which was a unique experience.

集合場所まではレンタカーですんなり行けました。
やはり、日本人は私達夫婦だけでした。ジープで移動中自己紹介的なことがありカタコトで話楽しかったです。水路に行くまで歩いてガイドもありました。大きなチューブに乗りぷかぷかと水路を浮いて下るだけですが、途中トンネルがありヘルメットのライトをつけて浮いていきました。スリル的なことはないですが、ぷかぷかと流れに任せるのも変わっていて、楽しかったです。

Smiths Family Garden Luau in Kauai - Authentic Hawaiian Dinner & Show
Luau
Activity Date: 2014/08/11 | Posted on: 2014/08/26

My thought was that a Luau was supposed to take place while eating the wonderful buffet food. At this Luau we sat down at long tables and did enjoy a delicious buffet. However, then we had to move to another location where they had bleacher seating, which was extremely uncomfortable. The show itself was just ok as it did not have a lot of spectacular associated with it. There was only one guy who did an act with fire. Most of it was just basic hula dancing and not what I would have expected. VERY uncomfortable seating and MEDIOCRE dancing. I would not recommend this Luau to any of my friends are family who may wish to visit Hawaii.

I was however pleased with Veltra tours and the professionalism and the call I received for verification of activities. Thank You.
