Kauai Beach Boys Hawaiian Outrigger Canoe Surfing Ride

Excellent activity!

Reviewed by: Tif G

We did the outrigger canoe ride. This was a lot of fun! My spouse thought this was just gonna be a typical kayak, just on the ocean, so he was surprised to see the structure. Straight out of Moana! Chretien (sp?) was a great guide. Very friendly and knowledgeable about the water, surfing activities, and the general area. I think we caught 4 waves and hit speeds we wouldn’t have believed! I think the site said to bring close-toed shoes, but we shed shoes completely for the ride. Definitely bring a hat (for the sun), but maybe something with a strap to keep it on your head. Beware the parking area! Riddled with huge, tire-destroying pot holes!

Lehua Crater & Na Pali Coast Guided Snorkel Tour with Breakfast, Lunch & Drinks

Breathtaking Experience

Reviewed by: Anjelica Mariano

This is as honestly the highlight of my trip. It was definitely worth waking up at 4am to travel from north shore to south shore. It was so organized and straight to the point which I loved. The whole crew was amazing and kind, always making sure passengers were okay and comfortable. It’s funny because I’m sure the crew has seen the views a million times, yet they still make it enjoyable and share such an insightful information about Kaua’i. The views were amazing and no pictures or videos can ever do them justice. I really appreciated this time experience and will carry it with me forever! Thank you so much, Holo Holo!

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

Kids love feeding the pigs

Reviewed by: Vjg

This is our second time to this luau and although it has not changed much it was still a memorable event. There were 10 of us, 6 adults and 4 children. The kids loved taking the train and feeding the pigs tortilla wraps. This is a highlight for them. The meal is on time, well organized, efficient and the staff do an amazing job of keeping it all running smoothly. The food is not inspired nor unique in any way. The pork is very tasty though and I thought the chicken thighs were well prepared. The desserts need a revamp as jiggly squares and pineapple cake and tiny tarts of nondescript filling are not worth the big bucks.
The show is well preformed and really another job well done.
Everyone loves a guy throwing fire up in the air.

Highly Recommend Hidden Valley Falls Kayak Adventure!

My husband and I went with our 4 and 6 year old kiddos - what a great adventure. The kayak portion was beautiful and the hike was easy for the kids to do and our guide had lots of great info to share as we walked along. The highlight was the rope swing into the water! Having a boat take you back and not having to paddle upstream was a highlight as well - made this a very doable trip with kids. This was one of my favorite activities we did in Kaua'i!

Smith's Kauai Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto with Live Entertainment

A lovely, peaceful boat trip along a beautiful river

Reviewed by: Ginger from Kansas

The Smith's Wailua River Cruise was very good. The open windows were fantastic for taking pictures. We cruised at a relaxing speed. It was fun to watch the people in Kayaks and on paddle boards along the way. There is a roof on the boat so it's very shady & the padded bench seats are comfortable. We were entertained with interesting history about the river and area.
It was easy to get in & out of the boat. The Fern Grotto was a very lush & beautiful area. There were no mosquitoes or flying insects when we were there between 11 A. M & 12:30 P. M.
At the Grotto & on the boat, we were entertained with singing and dancing. It was a very enjoyable time for all.

Kauai Backcountry Adventures Mountain Tubing Tour with Lunch

Tubing on Kauai

Reviewed by: Pam

Cody, tour guide, provided a wealth of historical and current information about Kauai’s development.
Safety was a big concern as two others with our group provided this. There were 5 tunnels.
I would suggest that your neck could be impacted, so you should make time to relax the neck, clasped with your hands behind your neck, when opportunity arises.
Attire is basic swim shorts, t shirt, and water tubbies.
Refunds for 3 of our travelers is being processed, so this is a bonus, as most activities will not offer a full refund on the portion not used.

Kayak Kauai Hanalei River & Blue Lagoon Kayak & Snorkel Adventure

Great kayaking tour, not-so-great snorkeling tour

Reviewed by: Jams

Kayaking the Hanalei River was magestic! The tour guides were fun and interesting and knowledgable! When we got to the snorkeling place, it seemed like it would be good - lots of reef, but then it was not as good as it seemed. I think the reef was too high in the sense that you could only snorkel around the coral, not above it as I'm used to, so if you don't find the "channel" (there are several false leads/dead-ends) then you may get stuck on top of the coral which means you may have to step on it, which you're not supposed to do! This is particularly challenging with children. The gear was all one-size-fits-no-one really well. I thought there would be children's sized gear so we didn't bother bringing the cheap children's gear that we purchased earlier in the week - I thought the tour would have better gear. All-in-all, we barely snorkeled! But otherwise, the tour was lovely!

Reply from activity provider

Aloha Jams, Thanks for your nice, informative and fair review. Glad the guides, panorama, setting that is Hanalei made up for the disappointing snorkeling. At times depending on weather snorkeling, once in a while can be a “hit or miss”. Glad the guides were stil able to fun you. With small children we encourage folks to bring those cheap snorkeling gear that you mentioned. Stay well and thanks again for taking the time to share.

A hui hou,

Kauai Airplane Tours - See Na Pali Coast, Waimea Canyon, Jurassic Falls & More

Great view of Na Pali Coast and the entire island from sky

Reviewed by: Turtle

I have hiked Kalalau Trail, stayed Ko ke e state park, took a boat tour to Na Pali coast and tried to see the coast line from all the angle. This Air tour is definitely one of the addition to it. By looking at the coast line from sky gives me more history of how the structure was created.

It was great view with a nice perfect weather with a good tour guide/pilot. He was very informative about buildings, natures, movie sites, tourist information, etc.

This air tour was more affordable than a tour with helicopters. It is a really nice addition to a budget traveler who want to see the island from sky, expanding the scope.

Smith's Kauai Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto with Live Entertainment

Rich in culture, beauty, and Aloha! Everyone should do this when visiting Kauai. Worth it!

Reviewed by: Colleen

The Smith’s Wailua River Cruise was a beautiful way to spend our morning. Start off by learning some island history and geography by a native guide from the Smith Family. Ours was Wade.

Once you arrive at the Fern Grotto, you’ll walk a beautiful path to get there and learn about its natural history and cultural significance as well as anything you’d like to know about it. We learned so many fascination facts and it was so beautiful and peaceful.

On our way back, we were treated with professional musicians and a top notch dancer. Everything about the small group of performers was beautiful from the sweet sounds of the musicians to the graceful display of cultural dance. You couldn’t get better quality and for the price!

It was an honor and gift to ride with the Smith Family. Looking forward to coming back with the kids.

ニイハウ島

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

以前オアフでのツアーに参加したとき、ガイドさんの話のなかでニイハウ島というのを初めて知り耳にのこっていたので、今回そこに行くクルージングというので参加しました。ハワイでクルージングといえばサンセットかホエールウォッチングというイメージがあったのですが、午前中がメインというのも、とてもさわやかな感じで、またとてもいいものです。普段体をきたえていないということもあって、スノーケルはそこそこにして(といっても海中の光景には十分心洗われましたが)、時間の止まった、海の上独特のすがすがしい空気にしばらく浸っていました。それにしてもビールとワインの味は、飲む場所によってこんなにもおいしく感じるものなんですね。。

ハワイアンモンクシールに会えました。

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

2006年の8月に参加してきました。朝の集合は6時と朝起きるのにつらいものがありましたが、いく価値は十分にあると思います。船からみるナパリコーストは圧巻だし、そこでイルカもみれたし、さらに神秘的な海洞にも船が入って、海に差し込む光の関係で、美しい海のエメラルドグリーンを見ることができました。ニイハウ島でのシュノーケリング中にはハワイアンモンクシールにも2回、海中で会うことができました。写真は普通のデジカメで撮影したものです。さて、船に上船したら、船後方のテーブルのある席をゲットしましょう。港を出港しましたら、さっそく飲みのものと朝ご飯のサービスがあります。行きはノンアルコール飲料のみのサービスで、帰りはビールも飲み放題です。朝ご飯はフルーツとパンですが、クリームチーズを自分の好きなだけつけて食べるベーグルはかなりいけます。船の揺れは海の状況によるので、職業漁師でない限り酔い止めを乗船前に飲んでおき、帰りように1錠荷物に入れておきましょう。貴重品は各自自己管理です。まもなくナパリコーストに到着したら、絶景がまっています。イルカはナパリコーストの海に住み着いているらしくほぼ確実にみれると思います。私のときはさらに幸運なことにくるくるまわってジャンプしてくれました。スピナードルフィンとか聞いたことあるけど、ほんまにそんなこと野生のイルカがするのかと疑っていましたが、ほんとにするみたいです。ナパリを後にして、ニイハウ島に船は向かいます。乗船中クルーの人達はしきりにeverything OK~と聞いてきてくれます。英語なので、もしOKでなくてもOKというしかないけど、気にかけてくれてる感は伝わります。まぁ飲み物いらないかってことみたいです。シュノーケルのポイントはニイハウ島とレフア島の間で、レフア島のすぐ横です。このレフア島は海鳥保護区で、多くの海鳥がいました。モンクシールもお昼寝してました。双眼鏡がほしかったです。熱帯魚もいて、透明度抜群の海ですが、お魚が遠いです。深いところは水深不明。深みには行かないようにいたしましょう。クルーの人もしっかり見張ってくれていました。トイレは2つあり、更衣室はないです。簡易のシャワーはありました。お昼ご飯は、シュノの後にハンバーガーでした。野菜とハム数種類がおいてあり、各自自由に作って食べる形式で、フルーツもでました。朝のベーグルが

シュノーケル最高!!

Reviewed by: となりのととろ

ナパリコーストのシークルーズツアーに参加しました。
シュノーケルでは透明度が20m以上ありそうな場所でやらせてもらい、間近でアザラシが見れたり、お魚さんたちもいっぱい見れました。カウアイ島付近はとても波が荒いのですが、スタッフの方々が安全管理をバッチリしてくださるので、貸し出されたシュノーケルセットもきれいでサイズも多種そろえられているし、安心してシュノーケルすることができました。また、途中イルカの群れを3度ほど見れました。イルカの群れをいち早く発見し近づくとスピードを落としてサービスしてくれるのもいけていました。
ナパリコースと自体は、壮大で感動に値するものですが、私たちの英語力ではクルーの説明が理解できず、事前に日本語の説明がもう少しネットで見れたらもっと楽しめたかな、と思いました。が、そのときはそんなことを感じさせないくらい、天候にも恵まれ楽しくて仕方ありませんでしたけど!
当日は6時集合で少し早いですが、朝食も昼食もおいしいので大丈夫。途中、スナックやクッキーのサービスもあるし、トイレも清潔だし、困ることはなにもありません。ツアーに参加しているのは私たち以外ははアメリカ人で(40人はいたかな)、ちょっとおしゃべりできたりもして、それはそれで楽しかったです。

チャレンジャー向き!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

両親と家族を連れて参加しました。
40名ほどの参加者のうち、日本人は私たちだけでした。
クルーはとてもフレンドリーですが、やはり船での注意事項や、スノーケルをする際の注意事項などすべて英語で説明されるので、グループの中で一人ぐらいは英語を話せる人がいないと不安だし、危険だと思います。
ナパリコーストは素晴しいし、ニイハウ島にも近くまで行けるし、イルカやクジラも近くで見れたのでとても良かったです。水もきれいで、スノーケルでも珍しい魚がたくさん見れました。
ただ、航海中は(いつもあんなに波が高いのかはわかりませんが)、ものすごい高波で何度も海に放り出されるのではないかと思う程のスピードと揺れが1時間近く続くので、船に弱い人は避けたほうが良いと思います。
若く、体力に自信があってスリルを楽しみたい人、更にある程度英語でコミュニケーションが取れる人でしたら、十分楽しめる内容だと思います。

My family is still talking about the exceptional, exciting, fantastic trip that we took to Niihau.
