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

Amazing, and beautiful

Reviewed by: Mary M

The best helicopter ride so far. It was amazing and awesome, I loved the way the music matched the scenery, and the pilot was very knowledgeable about the island. The island is beautiful, and so was the experience, way better then the doors off.

エアバン遊覧飛行 カウアイ島の絶景を上空から堪能!ワイメア渓谷、ナ・パリ・コースト、ハナペペ渓谷、ジュラシック・パークに登場の滝<英語ガイド/リフエ空港発>

A scenic flight on a day blessed with good weather; it was comfortable and felt like just an instant during the one hour. 天候に恵まれた日の遊覧飛行・揺れもせず快適であっという間の1時間

Reviewed by: ひとみ

The meeting place was a bit hard to find... There are companies with similar names, it's set back, the sign is small, and it shares a building with several travel agencies. Other than that, the explanations were clear, and both the pilot and the receptionist were efficient and kind. It was quieter than the helicopter and Beachcraft. I used it on the third day after my arrival. I had driven around the Waimea Canyon area on the second day, so I had a rough idea of the island's geography, but from the air, the vastness of the canyon, the flowing water, the dry red soil, the green forests, and the savanna-like low shrubs and short plant colonies were all clearly defined and dynamic under the sun.

I have a desire to challenge myself with several trekking courses, but by the time I finally had some free time, I wasn't confident in my legs and back, so I was glad I chose the scenic flight for safety. The top of Mount Waialeale (the highest point on Kauai) was covered in clouds, so I couldn't see it, but it was a day with few clouds, allowing me to overlook almost the entire island. I was very satisfied.

集合場所がちょっとわかりづらい・・・かな。 似たような名前の会社もあり、奥まっている、看板が小さい、いくつかの旅行会社とシェアしている建物だったので。
それ以外は、説明もわかりやすく、パイロットさんも受付さんもテキパキ親切。ヘリコプターやビーチクラフトよりも静かです。利用したのは到着から3日目。2日目にワイメアキャニオン周辺をドライブしたので、おおよその島の地理は頭に入っていたけれど、空中からですと、キャニオン部分の広さや、水の流れている場所、乾いた赤土と緑の森、サバンナのような低木と背の低い植物のコロニー、太陽の下、しっかり色分けされていてダイナミックでした。
いくつものトレッキングコースに挑戦したい気持ちはありますが、ようやく暇になった頃には足腰に自信が無く、安全第一で遊覧飛行を選んで良かったです。
ワイアレアレ山(カウアイ島で一番標高が高い)の頂部分だけは、雲に覆われていて眺めることができませんでしたが、ほぼ全島が見渡せるほどに雲が少ない日でした。大満足です。

ヘリコプター遊覧飛行 ワイメア渓谷&ナ・パリ・コースト&ハナレイ湾 <英語ガイド/リフエ空港>

Kauai from the sky 空からのカウアイ

Reviewed by: モアナ

Five years ago, I saw the Na Pali Coast on a cruise, but at my husband's strong request, we participated in a helicopter tour. I was able to understand the safety video before boarding thanks to the Japanese subtitles. I had two concerns: motion sickness and the fast-paced English explanations, but there were no problems at all. I took some motion sickness medication just in case, but the ride was very smooth with no turbulence, and above all, the scenery was so stunning that there was no time to feel nauseous.

What made it even better was that the pilot spoke fluent Japanese. We were the only Japanese people on board; the others were from the mainland, but with the interpretation provided, everyone felt friendly and welcoming. It was a fantastic tour that was worth every penny.

5年前にクルーズでナパリコーストを見ましたが
主人のたっての希望でヘリコプターツアーに参加しました
乗る前の安全ビデオも日本語字幕で理解できました
不安な点が2つ、乗り物酔いと早口英語での解説、でしたが全く
問題無し
一応酔い止めは飲みましたが、とてもスムーズで揺れもなく快適、なにより
あまりに素晴らしい景色で酔う暇無いです
そしてさらに良かったのがパイロットの方が流暢な日本語でお話しして下さいました、日本人は私達だけて他は本土からの方々でしたが
通訳していだたき参加している皆んなフレンドリーな感じに包まれました。
お値段だけの価値はある素晴らしいツアーでした

Ultimate Kauai Private Guided Island Tour - Waimea Canyon & South Shore

A Wonderful Experience and Way to See Kauai

Reviewed by: California tourists

Kevin picked us up at our hotel on time and spent the day showing us the west and south sides of Kauai. He gave us lessons in pronouncing Hawaiian words, the geology of Kauai, and history of Kauai, while driving from viewpoint to viewpoint. He was sensitive to what we were interested in and what types of food we wanted for lunch. We were impressed that he understood the weather patterns, kept a constant watch on the clouds, and was able to get us to the Waimea Canyon and Na Pali coast viewpoints at times when we could see the views.

We had a most enjoyable day and would highly recommend tour guide Kevin and The Ultimate Kauai Private Island Tour - South and West tour.

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

It was nice, wish the snorkeling was better

Reviewed by: bkst

Counted on this boat tour for good snorkeling and did not get it at all even though waters were calm at the time of day we snorkeled. Co-captain agreed that captain could have picked a better spot for snorkeling. Decently long boat ride to get to Na Pali Coast. Boat tour was cut short by almost an hour (not sure why, but honestly it would have dragged on if it wasn't cut short). Other than those things, it was nice seeing the scenic coast and we saw turtles and dancing dolphins.

Ultimate Kauai Private Guided Island Tour - Waimea Canyon & South Shore

It struggled to be too comprehensive.

Reviewed by: John

My wife and I had taken guided tours before mainly in the Carribean. On those tours, we stopped for various activities: touring a ruin, lunch on the beach, and a hike through a rainforest. Our guide, Kevin, did an excellent job trying to show us everything (and finding restrooms). The fault was not in the guide but in the attempted scope of the tour. It was six hours of driving and stopping for photos and then more driving. For instance, there were two waterfalls on the tour: One (twin falls) in the great distance and the other along the roadside (blink and you would miss it). It would be better if we could be taken to the trailhead and allowed to hike close to the falls. Or maybe with some preplanning, we could have swum at one of the beaches we stopped at. Although my wife and I are in our 60s and 70s, we are both very active. It was an introduction to the Island but we were exhausted at the end of the six hours.

The perfect activity to do on one of your getaway days, was so great to learn the history, and the challenges of the locals with survival on just daily living, on Kauai.
Was so good to be out on a very nice boat, but even better to be out with a captain and crew with great positive energy!! Took my 16 yo,14yo,7yo with and we all had a great time with great memories!, even had dolphins ride the wake of the boat for a bit!

Makana Charters is the best!

Reviewed by: Nicole T.

I highly recommend Makana Charters for your tour of the Na Pali coast! Capt. Rob, Leroy, and Bobby were the best crew! They were friendly, knowledgeable, and entertaining! We enjoyed the stories and Hawaiian tradition around the various stops along the way. I was impressed that Bobby remembered every person's name on the boat and showed a genuine interest in each and every one. Leroy even took song requests! The water was a bit choppy the day we went, but that made it all the more fun! We enjoyed the amazing sights of the Na Pali coast, the cave and waterfall, the dolphins swimming right under the kids' feet off of the bow, the sea turtle waving hello, and the snorkeling. The sandwiches were delicious, too! I would definitely book with Makana Charters again! We had a blast!

This review is for the non-swimmers

Reviewed by: Tina

This was an amazing experience in every way!
The boat ride felt like a roller coaster ride, the sightseeing was breathtaking, the crew was so friendly and kept us entertained with all the knowledge and stories about the island and lastly the snorkeling experience was so refreshing!! I am a non swimmer and so a big paranoid in very deep water, even with my floaties!! But leeroy took such good care of me when I was snorkeling, he even took me for a ride in the water with a tube, so that I could see more fishes and get a complete experience, it was amazing!!!

The whole crew is amazing, captain Rob, Kana with the storytelling skills and Ofcourse Leroy, they all make such a a amazing team. Will be back soon!

Susan was fabulous. She was so knowledgeable about the island and great with our kids (ages 5 and 7). She told us history of the island and suggestions on things to do during our stay.

Wonderful boat tour with experienced staff

Reviewed by: Daniel

The Napali coast boat tour was definitely worth our time and money. The 5-hour or so tour was filled with constant activities, with experienced captain and the crew. The 20-or-so person boat was comfortable with the front-facing seats and a clean bathroom. It was also newly cleaned and painted. The captain also maneuvered through the caves and shore with experience, providing good opportunities for the pictures. The tour also provided an ample time for a snorkeling towards the end. It was definitely something we would recommend.

Informative tour for first timers in Kauai

Reviewed by: NMP

My family and I had never been to Kauai and I wanted to book this tour as it had some fun things to do. Rosario was a great tour driver, very funny and knowledgeable and safe driver. We went to Opaekaa Falls, then went on a river cruise on the wailua river to the fern grotto (while on the boat we learned how to hula and enjoyed listening to the smith family singing and dancing hula). Then we went to Waimea canyon aka the Grand Canyon of the pacific- pictures do not do it justice. Very breathtaking. Then we went to kauai coffee plantation where we sampled amazing coffee and finally went to see the spouting horn. Overall a great tour with Rosario

Waimea Canyon Guided Sightseeing, Kokee State Park Nature Walk & Coffee Tour

Good overview of part of the island - wish we had more time in Waimea Canyon

Reviewed by: Alex

We enjoyed the tour overall but wish we had more time and one or two more stops around the Waimea Canyon. The tour takes in a few different spots across Kauai, but the real highlight is the Canyon. So it's a shame to only get a few different opportunities to stop and take photos. The tour picked us up and dropped us off promptly, and our guide Rosario told us a bit about the island and it's history, which we liked. The lunch provided was better than we expected. If we had the chance again, we would drive to the Waimea Canyon itself to explore it independently. If we had to take a tour again, we would consider this one as we felt overall it was good, if not perfect.
