Aloha Utahan,

Like others who have had the good fortune to be in the company of Izzie, your guide Izzy has a growing fan club.

If Izzy knew it, she could fast become an influencer.

Seriously, Izzy has raised the bar for all guides plying the Wailua River on their way to enjoying the Sacred/Secret Falls.

Thanks for taking the time and Mele Kalikimaka e Hau'oli Makahiki Hou,

Micco/Head Guide

Bucket List Checked Off

Reviewed by: Montana Mom

I was extremely nervous due a life long crippling fear of heights, but due to the amazing guides Hillary and Taelen I had the time of my life! They were fun, polite, encouraging and most importantly -professional! They absolutely made the experience the best possible! No matter how much they are being paid - it's not nearly enough!

Smith’s Fern Grotto River Cruise with Live Hawaiian Music & Hula

Okay trip

Reviewed by: April

This trip was fine, and thankfully inexpensive. The entertainers seemed to not want to be there. They went through the motions, but weren’t excited. The fern grotto was cool to see, and it was neat to go through a jungle.

5-Hour Liko Kauai Catamaran Tour - Na Pali Coast Sea Caves & Snorkel with Lunch

The views were amazing!

Reviewed by: Johnson Family

The boat ride was great- seeing the Na Pali coast from the Pacific was incredible. The tour guide was a fantastic guide, sharing stories about the history of Kaua’i , including her connections through her great grandparents. Learning about the land and history over time made a lasting impression. Hearing about the connections to movie settings was also cool. We encountered spinner dolphin pod and it was exciting to see so many surfacing and putting on a show. The snorkeling was Awesome, it was great how the boat had a specific location to secure to that was near the reef. Snorkeling was very organized and I felt safe. We saw many colored fish and even a sea turtle.

I appreciated the introduction before we started the tour and the guidance if we felt seasick. I was unfortunately one who experienced sea sickness about halfway through the trip, where we encountered the roughest water. The crew was compassionate and offered comforts. I felt better as we headed toward calmer waters and snorkeling location and was able to enjoy the snorkeling.

We had 5 in our traveling party and all were very impressed with the sights-totally worth it!

Reviewed by: Emily

We really enjoyed this cruise! We went in Nov so the beginning of winter there. Waters were just starting to get a little rougher. No one in our group gets seasick so we had no issues but some others on the cruise that were prone to seasickness were struggling a little. The staff were all super friendly and shared a lot about the history along the coast, films that were shot there, and other recommendations in the area. Highly recommend!

Luau Kalamaku Kauai – Award-Winning Hawaiian Dinner Show with Fire Knife Dance

Authentic and felt very Hawaiian

Reviewed by: ppille

The food was excellent. Even though the venue was large and held many people, it was very efficiently organised.

Open bar had a great selection of drinks

The show had a pre- show. the band played while we were having dinner and there were some songs sung by the cast.

The show itself had a great story line and you could tell that the performers are proud to be part of the cast.

You ARE NOT called up on stage. A good thing.

Great value for money as well.

Kauai Mountain Tubing Adventure – Float Through Jungle Tunnels & Canals

Loved the inner tubing adventure!

Reviewed by: Evelyn

On the way to the site we learned about the history of the sugar plantation and what is happening with that area now, which is terrific. The 3 supervising folks were very supportive and fun. Most of the trip was in the tunnels, which was very interesting as well, and not scary like I thought it might be..the headlamps were essential! It was certainly a different way to experience Kauai!

This Luau is the best in the islands. They only offer this Luau on Kauai, however after attending many of the Luau's on the islands, this is our favorite. The price is totally fair. The pre show, the reception at the entrance, the food and the after show are outstanding. We look forward to coming to this event every time we visit Kauai. This is a 10!!!

Kauai Mountain Tubing Adventure – Float Through Jungle Tunnels & Canals

Kauai Tubing Tour

Reviewed by: LB

Mahalo- First of all this tubing activity was a blast! Safety Equipment was provided-helmets w/lights and gloves - croc water shoes as well if you didn’t bring your own-
All crew members were fun, engaging and helpful.
The tubing experience was a comfortable leisurely ride with a few long rides through several dark tunnels (lights on the helmets made it perfect and added a bit more fun)
Lunch after was tasty, with a self-made sandwich ingredients.
My only negative was the picture taking results - if you are a couple or group make sure you are joined together or you’ll get other guests mixed in with your pictures.
Have fun!

ナ・パリ・コースト クルージング&シュノーケリングツアー イミロア号<4~12月/4時間/朝食付き/英語ガイド>

It was a long cruise, but I had a great time. 長いクルーズですが、楽しかったです

Reviewed by: nobue

This is a long tour lasting over four hours. After about a two-hour cruise, we get close to the rock wall just before arriving at the famous scenic cliffs, which offers various enjoyable experiences. However, I did feel a bit seasick during the trip.

For snorkeling, I think it's safer to borrow a tube (a foam stick) since there are no wetsuits or life jackets provided. The water was a bit cold, but I was happy to see fish and turtles.

The tour is conducted in English, but I don't think that's a problem.

The meeting point is in an area where many tour company offices are located, including Kauai Chocolate Shop. There is also a Kauai Community Bus nearby, so you can time it to return to Lihue by bus (I think taking an Uber is better for the outbound trip).

4時間超の長いツアーになります。2時間位クルーズしたのち、有名な風景の崖に到着する手前の岩壁にも近づき、色々楽しませてくれます。ただ、それに少し船酔いしてしまいました。

シュノーケルは、ウェットスーツやライフジャケット無しなので、チューブ(発泡スチロールの棒)を借りた方が安心出来ると思います。少し水が冷たかったですが、魚や亀を観ることができ、嬉しかったです。

ツアーは英語のみですが、問題ないと思います。

集合場所は、多くのツアー会社オフィスがまとまっている区画で、カウアイチョコレートショップなどもあります。近くにはカウアイコミュニティバスも通っているので、時間を合わせてバスでリフェまで戻ることができます(行きはUberの方が良いと思います)。

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>

The best! 最高

Reviewed by: Ohana

The Na Pali Coast Sunset Dinner Cruise was an amazing experience, overwhelmed by the beauty of nature along the Na Pali Coast. Thanks to taking motion sickness medication 30 minutes before boarding, I was able to enjoy it comfortably, and the food was very delicious. The crew was very kind, answering questions politely and providing excellent service, even taking photos at scenic points. The sunset was particularly magnificent, with the beautiful sun coloring the sea and sky, creating a memorable moment. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see any dolphins or whales, but it was still a very satisfying cruise. I was able to enjoy the scenery known as the filming locations for Jurassic Park and Pirates of the Caribbean, creating unforgettable memories.

ナ・パリ・コースト サンセットディナークルーズは、ナパリコーストの大自然に圧倒される素晴らしい体験でした。乗船の30分前に酔い止めを飲んだおかげで、快適に楽しむことができ、ご飯もとても美味しかったです。クルーはとても親切で、質問にも丁寧に答えてくれ、絶景ポイントでは写真を撮ってくれるなど、サービスも行き届いていました。特にサンセットは壮大で、美しい夕日が海と空を彩り、心に残る最高の瞬間でした。残念ながらイルカや鯨を見ることはできませんでしたが、それでも大満足のクルーズでした。ジュラシックパークやパイレーツ・オブ・カリビアンのロケ地としても知られる景色を堪能でき、忘れられない思い出ができました。
