Kauai Na Pali Coast Snorkeling Tour & Sea Cave Adventure by Makana Charters

Loved the boat tour !

Reviewed by: Kavya

Tony and Cam were very friendly and humorous. They stopped at all the amazing places. We took the 8:30 AM tour and got to see dolphins, turtles, beautiful caves and multiple waterfalls. Snorkeling was fun and could see coral reef and many types of fishes. I would highly recommend Makana Charters to my friends and family.

Captain Dave was AMAZING!!

Reviewed by: Michelle

I had a BLAST!! Captain Dave and his first mate were the best tour guides and I would recommend this to anyone. I had a hard time with sea sickness, and both Dave and his helper were so attentive and helpful. I truly had an amazing time.

Waimea Canyon Sightseeing Tour & Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto

Wonderful way to be introduced to Kauai!

Reviewed by: Susan in Boulder

As someone who had never been to Kauai before, I booked this tour as a way for my boyfriend and I to get acclimated to the island. We were so lucky to have Kana e, a wonderful native tour guide, as our driver and tour guide. She made the entire day so much fun, and extremely interesting. We both loved her stories of the island, of her family, and her enthusiasm. I greatly recommend this tour, especially if you can have a native guide as good as Kana e!!

  • Our fabulous guide, Kana e. Her first name is really 23 letters long!

シダの洞窟観光ツアー ワイメア渓谷&ポイプ潮吹岩&オパエカア滝 <英語ガイド>

A day full of highlights. A fulfilling day. 見どころ満載。充実の一日。

Reviewed by: なかよし夫婦

To celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary, we participated in a tour that included the long-awaited cave of ferns. We were picked up at the hotel by a large bus. There were already several foreign couples on board, and we were the only Japanese. The driver and guide was a cheerful, petite woman. Although she didn't speak English, she maintained a fun atmosphere by chatting and sometimes singing. The overall schedule was relaxed, with stops for restroom breaks at souvenir shops and a coffee farm's direct sales store. It's recommended to bring something to wear in the bus.

結婚40年を記念して長年の夢であったシダの洞窟を含むツアーに参加しました。ホテルに大型のバスでお迎え。すでに車内には外国のカップルが数組。日本人は私たちだけでした。運転手兼ガイドは明るい小柄な女性。英語はわかりませんがいつも話しながら、時には歌いながら楽しい雰囲気で進みます。トイレ休憩で土産物屋に立ち寄ったり、農園のコーヒー直売店にも寄ったりと全体がゆったりとしたスケジュール。車内は羽織るものをお勧めします。

Waimea Canyon Sightseeing Tour & Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto

Waimea and Wailua

Reviewed by: Sue

We enjoyed the Waimea Canyon Tour. The coach driver was friendly, funny, and informative.

The Wailua River Cruise was disappointing and boring. The driver of the boat had no enthusiasm in his voice and the visuals of the river were unimpressive. Since you can no longer enter the Fern Grotto cave, this stop is no longer amazing as it used to be.

シダの洞窟観光ツアー ワイメア渓谷&ポイプ潮吹岩&オパエカア滝 <英語ガイド>

The canyon is wonderful. 渓谷素晴らしい

Reviewed by: まりえ

The female driver conducted the tour by herself and was very accommodating. Since it was in English, I had trouble understanding the meeting times at each location. Waimea Canyon was magnificent and wonderful. For lunch, we had one hour of free time to eat at any restaurant we liked, but there wasn't enough time for choosing a place, ordering, and eating, so we had to gulp down our food and rush back to the bus. Finally, at the Fern Grotto cruise, there was a hula show, and on the way back, we enjoyed singing, a hula show, and a hula lesson, which was a lot of fun. The driver didn't show any signs of fatigue and took us back to the hotel.

女性ドライバーさん一人でツアーをしてくれます。対応良いです。
英語なので各所の集合時間が聞き取れず困惑しました。
ワイメア渓谷は壮大で素晴らしいものでした。
ランチは自由時間1時間、各自好きなお店で食べるんですが、店選び・注文・食事時間でとても時間が足りず、食事は飲み込んで走ってバスに乗り込みました。
最後にシダの洞窟クルーズねシダの洞窟でフラショーしてくれて、帰りのクルーズ中では、歌・フラショー・フラレッスンが催されとても楽しかったです。
ドライバーさんも疲れた表情見せずホテルまで送ってくれました。

it was a long day with many stops. some were worth the stop and some were not. if the tour drove straight to the canyon and then to the river, then It may have been worth the cost.

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>

Maybe my expectations were too high... 期待が大きかったのかも…

Reviewed by: あしか

As everyone has mentioned, the commentary was in English, so I think I could have enjoyed it more if I understood it. It was a good experience, but the price was high. The footage I saw on TV from a helicopter was amazing, so I felt it was either as I imagined or even below that. After experiencing it once, I think I'm good. I now wonder if it would have been more thrilling to ride in a helicopter without doors.

皆さん書いていた通り、解説が英語なので、わかればもっと楽しめたのかと思います。
いい体験ではありましたが、金額が高い。
以前テレビで見たヘリコプターからの映像が素晴らしかったので、想像していた通りかそれ以下だと思ってしまいました。
一回体験したらもういいかな。
ドアなしのヘリコプターに乗れば迫力あったのかも、と今は思っています。

  • 中はこんな感じで全く怖くないです。

Beautiful!!!

Reviewed by: Bethany Matlock

First off let me say our tour guide Rosario was fantastic!!! He gave us such a great history lesson and for us that's everything because we love history. He also has a great sense of humor. The places we got to see were pretty great as well. Waimea Canyon is gorgeous and you must see in person as photos do not do it justice. All the little stops along the way were fun. We discovered Poipu on this trip and we love it there. We will stay there next time we are on Kauai. All in all a great time, highly recommend!!!

Breath Taking

Reviewed by: Elizabeth Langston

Beautiful sights! As we saw the sights he explained what we were seeing. Loved seeing the place they filmed Jurassic World and the history of the families that have lived there for generations. Very comfortable ride and we could ask questions as we went along. Highly recommend this company. They show you a safety video before which is informative. The company is very serious about safety. Also loved the video they took while we were flying which we bought for a very reasonable price. Wouldn’t fly with any other company.

This was an amazing tour!!! A first for us both and would do it again in a heartbeat!!! We had Guy as our pilot and he was amazing!! He knew so much about the island we had a hard time finding questions to ask. This is a must when you come to Kauai. This company is great as well. The only thing that happened was our video didn't get us landing but the staff did discount our video and I had videotaped our landing so we did get a bit of it though. We went with another couple ad they enjoyed it as well.

Money well-spent!

Reviewed by: DeHartPDX

This was an amazing tour of he Napali Coast. The crew was phenomenal! They were so personable and knowledgeable. They were very attentive to our kids and kept everyone engaged and excited. The captain steered the boat with precision allowing us to get into small cave openings and over large waves.

Bring non-spray sunscreen and a hat that won’t blow off since it gets very windy. We took motion sickness pills prior to the trip which really helped.

The views were breathtaking! Highly recommend.

There is no other way to see Kauai than from

Plus they are the only ones that let my 6 yr old on. After the ride, my wife and I looked at each other and couldn’t believe no other helicopter rides allowed him on it.
