We absolutely loved this outing! It was a little bit of everything. The view from the kayak was amazing and the hikes are no where near as strenuous as they note. The ziplines were more than we expected. There are two zips and the final one being tandem and nearly 1800'. Awesome!! The guides were extremely friendly and make the experience enjoyable and informational. We will definitely do this trip again!!

We had a wonderful time. The scenery is spectacular, and everything we did on this excursion was fun and exciting! Highly recommend it. It is strenous though so keep that in mind.
We did our trip on March 19, 2010, my husband and I are over 50 years old and my daughter and her friend 19 years old.
Hope to do it again one day!
Thank you to the staff, they are wonderful!

I would highly recommend this event to all. Go early and get a chance to walk the gardens. They are beautiful and I took great pictures of my family within the gardens. Food at the Luau was excellent and the show was outstanding. I was amazed at how many of the guest were return visitors. The Smith family do own a piece of paradise.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this event - it wasn't only a Luau, but you learned of the culture, flora, and food. The food was OUTSTANDING! The hosts gave a thorough description of the foods, and how to eat them. The pig was very juicy, and salted to perfection. And even though the Poi was bland (as it should be), it had a distinctive and very interesting taste that perked our senses. The free mai-tais didn't hurt either! : )
The show ran a bit longer than we expected, but after a few drinks, it may have just seemed longer. The quality of dance, special effects, and entertainment was high, and the fire dude rocked the house (one of the best we've seen).
Mahalo Smith's!

Spectacular setting! I've been to many luaus before and this one has the best scenery. Well organized and excellent food! I was slightly disappointed in the show as it was lower energy than others I've attended. I didn't like the way they captured ALL the cultures (Chinese, Japanese, Phillipines) as I felt it brought the energy of the entire show down and removed itself from being "Hawaiian". Over all though - we had a great time.

We have been to many luaus on all the islands and this is one of the best. The food was plentiful and very enjoyable. The host and his father 2nd and 3rd generation we very informative and available to every one. They worked the tables and made sure everyone felt at home.
The entertainment during dinner was continuious. We even had a couple get engaged after the hula class. Very sweet.The bar service was fast and the special drinks well prepared.
The entertainment was very professional and varied dances form the different pacific islands. The special effects were just great.
Would we go back. In a heart beat.

Great helicopter tour for 1st timers to Kauai... we did this on the 1st day and got a great overview of the island. The pilot was very knowledgable and the rest of the staff friendly and helpful. They definitely had the routine at the store down and getting people to the helicopter on time. Better than expected :D

We could not pass up the opportunity to tell you Thank You for this Great experience! The group of people who put on this Luau need a giant pat on the back or better yet a big hug. They really put on a great show and it is clear they have fun doing it. Please tell them Thank you. By the way... we really adored the little pregnant hula girl. Aloha.

This was my first time on an ATV and I had a pretty good time. Usually I am not one for getting dirty and riding on an ATV but I didn't mind.
The guide was very knowledgeable and showed us how to maneuver the ATV's well. There were parts of the tour that were difficult and wouldn't recommend it for kids.

If you're visiting Kauai, you absolutely have to check out the Na Pali Coast, so I joined a tour this time. The view from the sea was truly amazing. There were interesting points like large openings that continued like tunnels, and holes in the ceiling of the tunnels where waterfalls were cascading down. I'm glad I got to see them up close. I also enjoyed snorkeling, and the lunch was delicious. It was a very satisfying tour!

We participated in a tour as a family. Since we had children with us, we were worried about seasickness during the cruise, but thankfully, no one got seasick, and we all had a great time together.
The caves and unique rock formations of the Na Pali Coast viewed from the sea were incredibly impressive, and we enjoyed the breathtaking scenery. Not only did we get to see beautiful landscapes, but we also encountered dolphins and whales along the way, and enjoyed snorkeling where we could see sea turtles and tropical fish up close. It was a very enriching tour, and I would love to participate again someday.

I had previously participated in a trekking tour of the Napali Coast, but I really wanted to see the views from the sea, so I decided to join this tour. The weather was great, and the cruising experience was fantastic. I was amazed by the sight of a pod of dolphins swimming in the deep blue sea and the breathtaking scenery while feeling the pleasant breeze. The impressive views of the cliffs and valleys are still etched in my memory.
I was looking forward to seeing sea turtles while snorkeling, but it was disappointing that I didn't encounter any. However, the underwater world filled with colorful fish was beautiful!

This summer, I participated with four friends. I was really looking forward to it because of the term "hidden coastal area," and I was able to see truly wonderful landscapes created by nature. Along the way, we encountered a pod of dolphins, and during snorkeling, we saw various types of fish and even got to touch some marine animals. It turned out to be a very satisfying day, and I thoroughly enjoyed the charm of Kauai Island.

When it comes to Kauai, the Na Pali Coast is a must-see! I joined this tour to experience the beauty of nature. On the day of the tour, the weather was great, the sky was a brilliant blue, and the ocean was incredibly clear. The natural formations of Na Pali, shaped over hundreds of years, were more beautiful than I had imagined, and the grandeur took my breath away.
The snorkeling was fantastic, with excellent water clarity, vibrant fish, and I was lucky enough to see a sea turtle as well. While I thoroughly enjoyed the stunning views during the cruise, I think it's a good idea for those who are prone to seasickness to take motion sickness medication in advance, as the time spent on the boat can be quite long.

We arrived at Kauai Backcountry Adventures and were quickly greeted by a staff member. The set up was easy to follow, the instructions were clear and the process was very organized. The staff was laid back, informative and very friendly. Jamie and BJ made our experience great. They were knowledgable and eager to make sure we were having a great time (and "Bundy" is one hell of a driver). We hope to return and would recommend their company to anyone.
