Waimea Canyon Sightseeing Tour & Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto

Wonderful Tour of Kauai

Reviewed by: Steve & Kathy

We enjoyed a day with Davin our driver through Waimea Canyon, the spouting horn, and the fern grotto. There was so much more than just those stops and our driver not only navigated expertly with the large bus he was driving but also provided an informed narrative of our surroundings. We also enjoyed the lunch at the golf course we stopped and the scenery of such a beautiful area. While our stops were quick, we were able to do some shopping and purchased some wonderful souvenirs. Would suggest Veltra tours to anyone!

Waimea Canyon Sightseeing Tour & Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto

Great Island Tour

Reviewed by: Irene

We went as a family and enjoyed every moment and the Tour Guide Craig was very friendly and knowledgeable. Positive things about the Tour are: 1. the time it went quickly especially with the interesting sights as Waimea Cyn and Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto Tour. 2. The lunch was a good time to relax and enjoy a good meal with friends or family. 3. Sightseeing-and able to shop and stretch. Negative things about the Tour are 1. getting to boat on time- Fern Grotto Tour so we could get better seats for photo taking, their was another group of people there already. Negative things about the Tour 2. There was one store we stopped at in beginning of Tour and we did not feel welcomed. The owner was following us everywhere so we left out of there back to the bus also the refreshments where horrible. The only interesting fact at that store was a $4,000 beaded necklace. Overall, we enjoyed the day and recommend.

Kauai Helicopter Tour & Eco Adventure Flight from Lihue - Blue Hawaiian Helicopters

Smooth flying & beautiful views!!

Reviewed by: Cinemabyte

The flight is incredibly smooth, and the pilot will take you to see over 30% of the island that you will not be able to see otherwise. They'll take you through the canyons and you'll see the major waterfalls. We flew into the old crater, and it was just amazing! The pilot was very informative and pleasant to listen to, as he gave some history of the island. He'll even turn the bird so both sides of the passengers, left and right, may take photos. It's a MUST and well worth the cost!

Waimea Canyon Sightseeing Tour & Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto

Great sights lon trip

Reviewed by: memsl

We loved the sights. The Waimea Canyon was stunning as was the fern grotto. What was wrong with this tour was the more than 6 hours travelling in the bus to see two sights which took less than 20 minutes each to see. Great tour if you enjoy seeing the hawaiian country side from a bus.

Kauai Helicopter Tour & Eco Adventure Flight from Lihue - Blue Hawaiian Helicopters

Awesome flight!

Reviewed by: Denise S

My husband and I went on the Blue Hawaiian helicopter tour of Kauai. The outift was recommended to me by my boss, who had done it 20 years ago. The flight was amazing! You may think that you can see the island from a plane, but it is not the same. The center of Kauai has no roads, so this is the only way to see the area. The views of Waimea canyon and the Napali coast were awesome. My husband had never been on a helicopter tour before and was a little nervous. He was given the front seat by the door and I sat between him and the pilot. The seating is decided by weight. Well, my husband and I loved it. Everyone aboard did. The pilot (Jason) was great. He was funny and informative. I would highly recommend blue hawaiian helicopter tours.

Great Fun!

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

This was a great attraction to take! I was told the best way to see Kauai was by air, but was not crazy about taking a helicopter ride, so this was a great alternative. The pilot, Paul, was great and very informative! The weather wasn't the best (rained some), but we still got to see alot and Paul made sure that if it was raining in one area, we went around it to see it from the back side or another angle. It was great! There was six in my group and we all said we would do it again!

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

A snorkel cruise without snorkeling

Reviewed by: dan collins

First, let me say it was a fun trip. The crew was awesome; they knew the area and did a great job of explaining everything we saw. The lunch was great. We got to see whales, turtles and dolphins. But when you book a snorkeling cruise because that's what we wanted to do and there's no snorkeling and no explanation as to why, that's why I'd say this is a rip-off.

Kauai Helicopter Tour & Eco Adventure Flight from Lihue - Blue Hawaiian Helicopters

Amazing experience...a must do!

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

Went to Kauai as part of our honeymoon and thoroughly enjoyed the helicopter tour. The most beautiful and amazing parts of Kauai can only be seen from the sky and this helicopter meant we could see it all! Pilot was very friendly and it was a plush helicopter, making it a comfortable journey. The pilot narrated the journey and made sure we saw everything very clearly. When the sun wasn't in the best position, he turned the helicopter around to make sure we got good photographs - nothing was missed! Would fly with Blue Hawaiian again :)

Reviewed by: あらん

You can visit all the highlights of Kauai Island in one day. I joined an English tour with participants from America, Australia, and Japan, and we all got along well and had a great time on the bus. It was nice that the guide played the ukulele and sang along at various points during the tour. For lunch, we went to a restaurant in a golf course. The view was great and the food was delicious.

英語ツアーでアメリカ、オーストラリア、日本からの参加者でしたが、みなさんと仲良くなりバスの中でも盛り上がりました。途中途中でガイドさんがウクレレを弾きながら歌ってくくださるのもよかったです。
ランチは、ゴルフ場の中のレストラン。景色もよくおいしかったです。

Small-Group Circle Island Airplane Tour with Window Seat - Air Ventures Kauai

The Must See Activity in Kauai

Reviewed by: Suzie Housley

Whether you are visiting Kauai for the first time or if you are a seasoned traveler, you will definitely want to check out Kauai Air Tour - Air Ventures Hawaii. There is no better value for your money.

The staff at Air Ventures was so helpful and courteous. Our pilot, Joel made landing in a small aircraft feeling like you were on a huge jet. It was the best landing I have ever experienced; I tried to convenience him to travel back and pilot our plane to San Diego. His pilot skills were superior; he could easily become a commercial pilot.

Air Ventures -- you offered me a once in a lifetime opportunity. I give you the highest form of recognition. Thank you for all that you have done. You can rest assured if I ever make it back to your Hawaii you will be the first business I call to book my air excursion.

Waimea Canyon Sightseeing Tour & Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto

Fast but Nice

Reviewed by: Donald

The tour is a bit rushed as expected because of all the area covered. However, you get to see a lot, but for a small amount of time. Waimea Canyon is most definitely the highlight of the tour. The river trip and fern grotto weren't too exciting. The tour is a good way to get an overview if you just have one day on the island (like we did).

First Time in a helicopter and I had the front seat. The views from the air are out of this world. Would love to see all of the island's this way. Purchased the DVD just for the wonderful information that Travis gave us. Too much to remember so get the dvd. Color on dvd is ok. Lots better live but it's our flight to remember forever. We saw places you can never see by car. A must do for everyone to see the beauty of Kauai. Thanks for the great time Blue Hawaiian and Dad and Janet for taking us on the tour. Loved it.

It's been 5 months since our Kauai vacation, and Aliya and I are still sharing our flight experience with friends.
