Sacred Falls Adventure - Wailua River Kayak, Hike & Waterfall Swim

Awesome Experience/Thank you Jeffrey

Reviewed by: Barbie n Ken

This was one of the best (if not THE best) Hawaii adventure we've been on yet. Paddling and steering the kayak was definitely difficult for us older newbies, but we were able to figure it out and not capsize.
Our guide Jeffrey was very experienced and showed great patience with the group; we felt like he was one of the reasons we enjoyed the experience so much.
Thanks again for the memories...

Private Kauai Doors On & Off Na Pali Coast Air Tour - Mauna Loa Helicopter

Reaching for new heights

Reviewed by: KelseyEric

My husband, Eric, and I were excited to ride in a helicotper ride while on our honeymoon. It was a first time adventure for either of us as we had never 1) been to Hawaii before and 2) ridden a helicopter before. The adventure happened early in the day, and we enjoyed some beautiful sites. I particularly enjoyed seeing the beautiful clear water of the ocean and the rust colored Waimea Canyon.

Mahalo for sharing your wonderful experience! We're thrilled to hear that you and Eric had an unforgettable helicopter ride during your honeymoon. It's fantastic that you got to explore Hawaii for the first time together, and we couldn't agree more about the breathtaking views.
The clear blue waters and the stunning rust-colored Waimea Canyon truly are sights to behold! We're so glad you enjoyed the early morning adventure and the beautiful sights that Kauai has to offer. Your enthusiasm is contagious, and we hope this is just the beginning of many more adventures together.

Outfitters Kauai Zipline Trek Adventures at Kipu Ranch

Educational and exciting fun for most ages

Reviewed by: Eric D

Our guides, Haylen and Tanner were kind knowledgeable and fun to work with the zip lines were a blast and the water at the swimming spot was refreshing after standing in all that gear for a while every line was different and had a beautiful view of the landscape. I only wish I could share the video to really show the experience. My wife and I loved it. Not for the feeble some hiking is involved. Honestly I wish there was one more line or a little more time at the swimming spot

Aloha Utahan,

Like others who have had the good fortune to be in the company of Izzie, your guide Izzy has a growing fan club.

If Izzy knew it, she could fast become an influencer.

Seriously, Izzy has raised the bar for all guides plying the Wailua River on their way to enjoying the Sacred/Secret Falls.

Thanks for taking the time and Mele Kalikimaka e Hau'oli Makahiki Hou,

ヘリコプターチャーター カウアイ島の大自然を上空から撮影!ドアなし&窓際席確約のフォトグラファー向けツアー<英語ガイド/リフエ空港発>

ドアなしのヘリコプター体験最高でしたが。

Reviewed by: シズノン

ヘリコプター体験は最高でしたが、催行のヘリコプター会社とベルトラは最悪でした。

予定していた時間に集合場所の13時にヘリコプター会社に行きましたが、当日パイロットがキャンセルになっただけ伝えられて、その日催行できず、翌日たまたま、都合がついたので、参加できました。
宿泊場所から、集合場所までも小一時間かかりますし、天候も良好でしたから、パイロットがキャンセルだけでは、全く納得がいきませんでした。仮りに、天候などの都合で朝一でキャンセルになったなら、ベルトラさんを通して電話なり、メールなり、連絡いただきたかったです。高額な代金を支払ってベルトラさんを通してるのですから、その対応はしていただきたったです。日数が限られている海外旅行で、貴重な時間が無駄になりました。今までもダイビングなどオプショナルツアーに参加してアクシデントで日程の変更など経験ありますが、今回はベルトラさんの対応の悪さにはがっかりでした。知らない土地でのオプショナルツアーの申し込みですので、次回の旅行は信頼できる頼会社に依頼したいと思います。
ただし、カウアイ島では是非ドアなしのヘリコプター体験はおすすめします。大自然の壮大さを山と海から感じられる貴重で素晴らしい体験でした。

Thank you for sharing your experience. We sincerely appreciate your kind words about the helicopter tour itself and are thrilled to hear that the doorless helicopter experience allowed you to enjoy the stunning beauty of Kauai’s natural landscapes.

We regret to learn about the inconvenience caused by the last-minute cancellation. While safety considerations are our top priorities, we understand how frustrating it must have been to adjust your plans during a time-limited trip. Your feedback about communication, especially regarding cancellations, is invaluable. We will work closely with VELTRA to ensure more proactive and timely updates in such situations, including direct phone or email notifications where possible.

Please know that we are taking steps to improve coordination and communication for all our future guests. Our goal is to ensure every aspect of your experience with us is as seamless and enjoyable as the tour itself.

Okay trip

This trip was fine, and thankfully inexpensive. The entertainers seemed to not want to be there. They went through the motions, but weren’t excited. The fern grotto was cool to see, and it was neat to go through a jungle.

Luau Kalamaku at Kilohana Plantation - Polynesian Dinner Show & Fire Knife Dance

Authentic and felt very Hawaiian

Reviewed by: ppille

The food was excellent. Even though the venue was large and held many people, it was very efficiently organised.

Open bar had a great selection of drinks

The show had a pre- show. the band played while we were having dinner and there were some songs sung by the cast.

The show itself had a great story line and you could tell that the performers are proud to be part of the cast.

You ARE NOT called up on stage. A good thing.

Great value for money as well.

Loved the inner tubing adventure!

Reviewed by: Evelyn

On the way to the site we learned about the history of the sugar plantation and what is happening with that area now, which is terrific. The 3 supervising folks were very supportive and fun. Most of the trip was in the tunnels, which was very interesting as well, and not scary like I thought it might be..the headlamps were essential! It was certainly a different way to experience Kauai!

This Luau is the best in the islands. They only offer this Luau on Kauai, however after attending many of the Luau's on the islands, this is our favorite. The price is totally fair. The pre show, the reception at the entrance, the food and the after show are outstanding. We look forward to coming to this event every time we visit Kauai. This is a 10!!!

Kauai Tubing Tour

Reviewed by: LB

Mahalo- First of all this tubing activity was a blast! Safety Equipment was provided-helmets w/lights and gloves - croc water shoes as well if you didn’t bring your own-
All crew members were fun, engaging and helpful.
The tubing experience was a comfortable leisurely ride with a few long rides through several dark tunnels (lights on the helmets made it perfect and added a bit more fun)
Lunch after was tasty, with a self-made sandwich ingredients.
My only negative was the picture taking results - if you are a couple or group make sure you are joined together or you’ll get other guests mixed in with your pictures.
Have fun!

Would do this again in a heartbeat! The views were like nothing I’ve ever seen before!
We took our family of 5 (we have 3 boys) my 8 and almost 4 year old loved it but my 2.5 yr old had a hard time. And I couldn’t figure out what was wrong. I’m thinking ears not adjusting to the height or maybe even motion sickness. But he did not do good. He’s usually a very very easy going toddler. So keep that in mind if you have young children. I would love to do it again without my kids so I could enjoy the breathtaking views without stress
