Kauai Mountain Tubing Adventure – Float Through Jungle Tunnels & Canals

Best way to end our vacation

Reviewed by: Fishers

Mountain tubing was a memorable way to end our vacation. We loved it and enjoyed the relaxing ride. BJ and Liz were such fun guides. They were entertaining and it was a trip that we got to know others. It was such a friendly atmosphere. The trip was such a heat experience.

Snuba Tours of Kauai | Small-Group Guided Beach SNUBA Diving Tour at Lawai Beach

We are SCUBA certified

Reviewed by: Christian

Wow wow and WOW got to see so much I was amazed. Our 11 year old daughter was the one who wanted to do it and reluctantly we agreed and man was I surprised. One it's a lot more "family interactive" without having to hold hands. It's more comfortable because you don't have a be and tank weighing you down, and you get to get just as deep as you need to to see huge turtles and awesome fish action

Kauai Mountain Tubing Adventure – Float Through Jungle Tunnels & Canals

Super fun!

Reviewed by: Melanie

We really enjoyed this activity! It was relaxing and fun. Our guides were GREAT! They were lots of fun - without them the activity wouldn't have been as fun. The tunnels we went through were cool! I was worried they would be full of spider webs but they were super clean - no worries there at all. Our only complaint was it was too short. Wish it would have lasted longer! The lunch was good - just wish we would have had more time, it felt a little rushed. Here we were in this beautiful spot but had to eat and run. I would do this again. Kids of all ages would enjoy this adventure! We had old and young in our group and everyone had a great time. One thing I wish they would do is have someone taking photos that you could purchase afterwards. Since we were in the water and couldn't really get good shots - even with a waterproof case, it would have been really nice to buy some photos of our group as we came down the river and inside of the caves so that we have some memories of it. Since we have no pictures, we have nothing to show our family and friends. They want to see pictures.

Waimea Canyon and Wailua River Cruise

Reviewed by: Teacher82

Jack was a great tour guide and the day passed very quickly with jokes, historical information, and a beautiful cruise to the Fern Grotto. The singers were beautiful in sentiment and voice, showing us the beauty of the Hawaiian culture . I recommend this as it is a great way to be engulfed in culture and see most of the island , including great picture spots.

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>

Second time. 2回目

Reviewed by: TERUTERU

I first visited the Caves of the Ferns 20 years ago, and this was my second time. Since I was participating alone, I had assumed that the tour boat would have an English guide. However, on this day, there was a boat with a Japanese guide, and I was able to join that one. It was a chartered boat for a group of Japanese tourists, so I was lucky. Unfortunately, I couldn't enter the Caves of the Ferns. A new observation deck was established, and I had to view it from there, which was disappointing. However, the explanations from the Japanese guide made the situation clear, and I understood it well.

シダの洞窟は20年前にはじめて行き、今回が2回目でした。一人参加のため遊覧船は英語ガイドになると観念していました。ところがこの日は日本語ガイドの船が出るのでそちらに乗せてくれました。日本人の団体のためにチャーターした船でした。ラッキーでした。シダの洞窟には入れませんでした。展望台が新設されてここから眺めることになり残念でした。日本語ガイドの説明で事情がよくわかり納得でした。

Smiths Family Garden Luau in Kauai - Authentic Hawaiian Dinner & Show

Hawaiian Vacation of a Lifetime.

Reviewed by: Carl

My entire trip was wonderful but the Luau experience was extraordinary. The grounds itself are like being in paradise but the food was really good and so much of it. The entertainment however was amazing. I particularly enjoyed how the history of those who inhabit the islands was depicted. Anyone planning to visit the Hawaiian islands should definitely do this. I would certainly do it again.

Kipu Ranch ATV Tour – Scenic Ride Through Jurassic Park Film Locations

Best Adventure Yet in Kauai!

Reviewed by: TFortune

I had a absolute blast! Busting through mud, powering up hills and getting loose in the dirt... what could be more fun. The guides were great and even though I know much about Kauai, I learned even more. My family had fun holding on and getting a little muddy as I romped on the gas in the jungle and old can fields. I highly recommend this adventure!

ナ・パリ・コースト クルーズ 立ち入り禁止の聖域「ニイハウ島」沖でのシュノーケリング付き<朝食・ビュッフェ昼食付き/英語ガイド>

Wonderful panoramic view!! 素晴らしい絶景!!

Reviewed by: kana

On the way to Napali, wild dolphins swam alongside our boat, and on the uninhabited island, there were seals napping. We enjoyed not only the breathtaking scenery but also a variety of experiences.

On the return from Niihau Island, it felt like a roller coaster the whole time. The boat was rocking quite a bit, and many people started to feel sick, but the crew's response was incredibly quick and precise, which was impressive! They communicated with us in various ways, and I thought that if I could speak more English, it would have been even more fun!

ナパリに着く間に野生のイルカが船と一緒泳いでくれたり、無人島にはアザラシ?がお昼寝してたり、とにかく絶景だけでなく色々楽しめました。
ニイハウ島からの帰りはずっとジェットコースター状態。かなり船が揺れて具合が悪くなる人続出でしたが、クルーの方の対応がとにかく素早く的確で感動しました!色々コミュニケーションもとってくれて、英語がもっと話せたら、きっともっともっと楽しかっただろうなと思いました!

Smiths Family Garden Luau in Kauai - Authentic Hawaiian Dinner & Show

Amazing Luau

Reviewed by: Edith Armenta

My husband and I had an excellent time there.
We arrived and the staff was very friendly in directing us where to go. As we got into the tram, we were welcomed but a coupe peacocks flapping their feathers. The tour of the garden was very informative and fun. If you get there early you can walk around and take pictures. The food was delicious! There was a live band and taught us how to do the hula. And the show was very entertaining. We definitely recommend this luau. We love the fact that it is family owned.

Smiths Family Garden Luau in Kauai - Authentic Hawaiian Dinner & Show

Liked it so much we brought our kids to see it

Reviewed by: Dhpaul

We have gone to numerous luaus with mixed experiences. Sometimes great dancers but average food. Sometimes just a poor experience altogether. We went the the Smith family luau in 2011 when we took our parents for their 50th anniversary. We loved it. Great food with an outstanding setting.
This year we took our son, daughter in law and grandson to Kauai for a week. We decided to go to Smiths luau the night before leaving. If far exceeded expectations.
Come early to walk the garden grounds as they are spectacular. Our son has gone to luaus on Maui and Oahu as well as at Gaylords. He thought this one had it all. Great food a very well done show.
You too will come back.
