I was worried because I couldn't speak much English, but thanks to the help of the guide and the people around me, it turned out to be a great experience! The scenery was beautiful, and I was able to visit the famous spots on Kauai Island in just one day, which was wonderful! I was a little disappointed that we couldn't go to the Kalalau Lookout.
英語があまり話せず心配でしたがガイドの方や周りの方の助けによりとてもいい経験になりました!

First of all, I was worried because I can't speak English, but as soon as I arrived at the airport, the English-speaking guide approached me, which made me feel at ease. They took us around Kauai Island in a large bus. There were so many highlights, and everything was moving. Perhaps because we were able to share such wonderful views, by the time we were leaving, I had become friends with everyone, and it was sad to say goodbye. This is a tour where you can have a great time even if you're traveling alone!
まず、英語が話せないので英語ガイドさんは不安でしたが空港に着いたらすぐに声をかけてくださって安心しました。大きなバスでカウアイ島を案内してくださいます。

It was my first time on Kauai Island, and it was a fun day with a new Hawaiian experience. Waimea Canyon and Spouting Horn were great, but on the cruise, I got to listen to Hawaiian music and watch local dances, which made me feel immersed in the ancient dynasty. The food was also delicious with many options to choose from.
カウアイ島は始めてでしたが、新しいハワイの体験が出来て楽しい一日でした。ワイメア渓谷や潮吹き岩も良かったが、クルーズでは、ハワイアンを聞きながら地元の方のダンスも観られ古代王朝の気分に浸れました。食事も選択肢が多く美味しかったです。
Be sure to experience Waimea Canyon and the cruise.

This time, I visited an island other than Oahu for the first time. Although it was a tour that didn't stop at the coast or beaches, I was able to visit various sightseeing spots and once again experienced the richness of Hawaii's nature. The valley is breathtaking, so I definitely want you to see it. Along the way, my flight to Honolulu was canceled, and due to the arrangements for the replacement flight, I couldn't visit the last sightseeing spot. Despite the tight schedule, the guide and local staff were very accommodating, and I was able to board the plane safely. I can only express my gratitude.
今回は初めてオアフ島以外の島に来てみました。
海岸やビーチには立ち寄らないツアーでしたが、いろいろな観光スポットに行けて、改めてハワイの自然の豊かさに触れました。
渓谷は絶景ですので、ぜひ見てもらいたいです。
途中、ホノルル行きの飛行機がキャンセルになり、代わりの飛行機の都合で最後の見学場所は見れませんでした。
時間もギリギリの中、ガイドさんと現地スタッフの対応がとてもよく、無事飛行機に乗れました。

Did a day trip from Oahu to Kauai. So included a couple flights, made for a long day but interesting.
Rosario (driver/leader) was quite knowledgeable, talked about his favourite things and locals, had suggestions for what to eat for lunch at the chicken in a barrel.
Very little hiking. I used this more as a rest day, traveling by bus was easy and Rosario was good with time allocations at each stop.
Stopped at the local blowhole, coffee makers, hanapepe,and various points up the canyon and the lodge at the top.
Would recommend bringing own water, not many places to get, so money for a beer for lunch, and snacks for at the lodge.

For those seeking nature that can't be found in Japan and who love the special spirits of Hawaii, I think this is the best tour. I wanted to experience nature beyond Oahu, and a local friend recommended Kauai Island. When I searched, I found this tour. Although the order of the attractions was different from what was shown on the website, the Wailua River cruise, which I was most looking forward to, felt truly sacred and left me in awe. Other places were also energetic and gave me a wonderful sensation.
When I arrived in Kauai, I was a bit skeptical about whether I would actually be able to participate until I was picked up by the bus, but the first driver was super friendly, and the second driver (Kaleo) was really fun and kept everyone laughing the whole time. Since I was the only participant from Japan, everyone on the bus and at the lunch restaurant talked to me, and I had a great time throughout. I think I had an even more enjoyable time thanks to Kaleo's guidance. I feel really lucky to have been able to join this tour!
日本では見られないような自然を求めて旅される方、ハワイの特別なspiritsがお好きな方にはbestなツアーな気がします。
オアフ島以外の自然にも触れたくて、現地の友達にもカウアイ島をオススメされ、検索したところこちらがHitしました。HPで見れる観光の順番とは違ったものの、1番楽しみにしていたシダの洞窟を目指してワイルア川クルーズが本当に神聖な感じがして感激しました。他の場所もエネルギッシュで何か素敵な感覚を感じさせてくれました。
カウアイ島に着いて実際バスにピックアップしてもらうまでちゃんと参加できるか半信半疑でしたが、1人目のドライバーさんもすっごくフレンドリーで、2人目(Kaleo)のドライバーさんもとっても楽しく面白くずっとみんなを笑わせてくれました。1人でかつ日本からの参加は私1人だったせいか、バス車内でもランチのレストランでもお客さん皆も私に話しかけてくれて始終楽しく過ごせました。Kaleoのガイドのおかげでさらに楽しい時間が過ごせたんだと思います。このツアーに参加できて本当にラッキーです!!

I received several emails from Veltra and the operating company informing me of the early morning meeting time, stating "Meet at Honolulu Airport at 5:30." However, the day before, I received a short message saying, "Meet at 5:00!" When I arrived in Honolulu and spoke during the reconfirmation call, I was told it was 5:30, but shortly after, I was told it was 5:00, so I hurriedly called back.
The office was supposed to be available for calls until 14:30, so I planned to confirm at 2:17, but no one answered the phone. With no other options, I decided to leave my hotel in Honolulu at 4:30 to match the earlier meeting time. I thought it was different from the voucher I received, but in the end, it seemed that 5:30 was fine. I suspect there was a typo in the short message, but I wish they had confirmed before sending it. It was very frustrating.
As for the Kauai Island tour, the driver and guide's fun personality allowed all 12 participants to have a great time throughout. Both the sightseeing and lunch exceeded my expectations. We were the only Japanese couple, but there was an international atmosphere with participants from various places. I highly recommend this tour if you're going to Kauai Island!
何度かベルトラさんや催行会社からメールをもらって、早朝の集合時間などのお知らせがあり「5:30にホノルル空港集合」と知らされていたのに、前日になってショートメッセージで、「5:00集合」とのメッセージが!
ホノルルに到着してすぐにリコンファメーションの電話で話した時にも5:30集合と言われたのに、そのあと少しして5:00集合と言われ、慌てて電話しました。
オフィスは14:30まで電話対応OKと書かれていたので、2:17に慌てて確認の電話をしようと思ったら、電話に誰も出なくて、どうしようもないので念のため早めの集合に合わせて、ホノルルのホテルを4時半に出ました。
もらったバウチャーと違うなとは思ってましたが、結論としては、5:30でよかったみたいでした。
多分ショートメッセージにタイプし間違えたのだと思いますが、ちゃんと確認してから送って欲しかったです。
とても困りました。
カウアイ島観光は、ドライバー兼ガイドさんの楽しい人柄に、終始12人の参加者は楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
観光も、お昼ご飯も、期待以上に満足できました。
日本人は私たち夫婦だけでしたが、色々なところから集まったインターナショナルな雰囲気でした。

We completely enjoyed our tour of this beautiful island. Our guide was amazing. Keyleon He had so much knowledge about the areas he expertly drove us to.
The only negative I found is that most people who took this tour were staying on this island. We did a flight from Oahu to Kauai. We missed our return flight due to slow traffic conditions. If you plan to island hop- make sure you get a later flight off this island or you will spend a huge amount of time in the airport.

The tour itself was really good, interesting and informing. All of the employees that took care of us were helpful and kind. The problem was the scheduling from Oahu to Kauai. We had to be picked up at 4:30 a.m. At our hotel. The plane left at 6:00 a.m. We got to Kauai at 6:40 a.m. And had to wait until picked up by tour guide at 8:40 a.m.. There were others that left our hotel at 7:00 and arrived to have guide pick them up on time. We also were told (on the tour guide was told) the wrong place at the airport to pick us up. All of that was very stressful. If they could correct the scheduling then it is a worthwhile tour.

This was a very good day trip to the Island of Kauai. While the logistics of the trip were well organized and executed despite a few bumps in the road (an auto accident on the main route upon arrival that forced the planned schedule to be reorganized and a delay on the return flight to Oahu), the very best part of the journey had to be the tour guide, Keone (Juan), who was a virtual encyclopia of Kauai history and culture. Truly an entertainer, funny, insightful and sensitive to the needs of his passengers. Every tour should have a Juan on it. Kauai is a beautiful, quiet island devoid of the chaos and traffic of Oahu. It is especially friendly and laid back. The day trip is a great introduction to planning a return visit for a longer stay. And Waimea Canyon is breathtaking.

My friend and I really wanted to see the filming location of Jurassic Park so we signed up for this tour to the least visited island in Hawaii. We were very impressed with the scenery. Everything was also very organized and arranged very professionally (no lateness). What made the tour really stand out though, was our tour guide Juan who told us many stories which gave us a greater understanding into life on the island. We loved the tour a lot. The only drawback was we had to wake up really early but I guess that can't be helped considering we did a day tour from O'ahu.

This was a great tour, but a lot of driving. Our driver, Juan ( might be misspelled) is a native hawaiian and shared a lot of fact and fable. He played a video about how Jurasic Park was made, and as we drove around you can see where parts of the movie were filmed. We had plenty of time at each stop. I thought the fern grotto was a bit lame. The ferns were destroyed in a hurricane years ago, so the ones that were there were small. It wasnt what I expected. And there were mosquitos at the grotto. It would be nice if the driver had bug spray or something. We came back with a lot of bites. The boat ride was frustrating. It is a wide boat, with a low roof. The guide kept talking about the mountains or things on top of the hills, and most of us couldnt see what he was referring to because of the low roof. On one hand, seeing the island through a tour is a great way to learn a lot about the island. On the other hand, renting a car allows you to stop where you want to (little s

There is a lot of traveling back and forth then actual viewing spots, and because of that there was not enough time at Waimea Canyon which is the main spot of the trip. People taking half day tour should not be mixed with fullday tour, there was a lot of time lost in going back and forth droping those people, and the return flight to oahu should be planned accordingly we had to wait 2 hrs at the airport.

This is a fairly biased view to the tour since the airport was absolutely terrible on both directions (NOT the tour's fault).
The guide was ok, unanimated and didn't realise he told us the same stories multiple times - I found this funny but other people were getting really annoyed about it. If you like the history of sugar cane you'll get plenty of it!
The Canyon was AMAZING! As was Fern Grotto. Everything I thought was only ok in terms of interest sake.

Having lived on Oahu for 5 1/2 years in the '50s and never having visited any of the other islands, my sister and I were expecting to see something different and unique. This tour certainly filled the bill and was both those things - and more! Our tour guide - Patty -was very knowledgeable about local and island history and places of interest. She stopped at more than the expected stops and we had plenty of time at each one of them to take pictures, visit any shops that were there and generally get a feel for the place. The fact that we were a small group - just 8 of us on a mini-bus - was fantastic and we turned into a group of 6 after lunch after dropping one couple off back at their Kauai hotel.
It was wonderful to see the unspoilt beauty of Kauai, much as Oahu was when we knew it and before development spoiled it. We were so happy to hear that there has been a limit put on the number of stories hotels there can have, albeit after Marriott built their 8-storey one. At lea

This is a great 1-day activity if you are staying in Oahu and want to experience another Hawaiian island. We stayed for 10 days in Waikiki, Oahu and this tour gave us the opportunity to see Kauai for a reasonable price.

We were met at the airport by one of the tour organisers and were handed our tickets for the flight and told where to go and what to do upon arrival back at the airport later that night.

First I have to say you MUST ask for JUAN as your guide. He is a native of Kauai. He is not only EXTREMELY knowlegeable of the Island, Juan has a great sense of humor, full of great stories retold to him by his grandfather, native histories, is a wealth of information. The Canyon is fasinating to see, as well as the Water Falls that we stopped along the way to witness. Juan told us local folk lore regarding the Sleeping Giant; Sprouting Horn.
Juan is WORTH THE TRIP in himself!
