The Smith's family is awesome and entertaining. Wear mosquito repellent when going, just a taught. They sing and entertain as you travel up the fern grotto and had us all doing the hoki pokie. We will be doing their luau too so we'll let you know how it goes!

Overall I had fun. The trip is basically kayak for 2 miles, hike for 1 mile, visit a 100' water fall, and then hike back for 1 mile and then kayak for 2 miles. Since I like physical activity, this trip worked well for me.
Kayaking requires some physical work, and since there are 2 people per kayak, at last one should be in good physical shape.
Hiking was through lots of mud. You will cross streams, ankle deep mud, and will get dirty. Best to wear sandals since sneakers will be ruined. My youngest son loved this part (getting dirty is always fun).

We had a great time on this tour! For our group of 18ish people we had three guides that were constantly working hard to make sure we were having a good time, and being safe. This is not white water rafting- this is a float tube trip. So if you are expecting rapids and fast action, this is not it. We read several negative reviews regarding cancellations due to rain. Yep. I get it. It sucks. But there are points where you are traveling in tunnels, and if it rained too much - you won’t fit in the tunnel. Rain = higher water. We read other reviews about being separated from your party- yep- it happens, but if you ask any of the guides, they will help you join your friends. Our family had a really nice time.

We appreciated the ride up to view the grotto, which everyone visiting Kaua’i should see. The best part was the music! Made me thirsty!
I highly recommend the Smith boat ride without reservation.

A beautiful, unique, and memorable experience. The guide was friendly and helpful, everyone was able to paddle up the river at their own pace, the river is lined with greenery, but the real treats were the hike along a gorgeous trail with amazing foliage and, of course, the waterfall. Swimming in the pool at the base of the waterfall and looking up at the water pouring over the cliff is an experience like no other. I went with my teenage daughter on a beautiful sunny day. There were no significant recent rains, so the trail was not muddy or slippery and the hike wasn't strenuous at all. I highly recommend this tour!
Aloha Renee,
Glad you enjoyed our Wailua River paddle and hike to the Sacred Falls with your daughter.
Yes it’s pretty classic and you gave a really nice review. Thanks for taking the time and until our trails cross.
Stay paddling and hiking.
Aloha,
Micco

My husband and I loved this tour. The boat guides showed us several great ocean caves, even backing our boat into them! We also lucked out and saw 4 groups of dolphins, which is almost unheard of, as well as two groups of sea turtles! We ended our boat ride with about a half hour of snorkeling on the reef. Then we got sandwiches, chips, and drinks as we headed back to shore. Overall, we had an incredible morning on the water!
You've got us smiling! We are elated to know what a great time you had and love the details you've shared about your time with us! We hope to see you both again soon! Mahalo and Aloha

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.

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.

ポートアーレン事務所集合15:00でしたが、少し早めの14:30に建物の奥の「Holo Holo Charters」の看板の駐車場に停めます。
割と車が多いので、早めに駐車して良かったです。
集合前に、事務所でチェックイン。
タッチパネルで「同意書」にサインし、集合時間まで、近くのショップをウロウロ。
トイレは事務所の裏にあります。
時間になり、事務所前の広場で集合し船長さんが名前を呼ぶので、返事をします。
点呼が終わったら、港へ。乗船する前に靴入れに靴を脱いで専用の裸足になります。
ビーチサンダルで行き正解でした。
早めに乗船した人は、船の後ろへ
私達は間に合わず、中のテーブルがある席に座りましたが、結果食事の際など便利。途中移動できるので、景色の十分楽しみます。
出発してすぐに、アルコールやソフトドリンク、クラッカーとチーズなどのサービス。
ナパリコーストまでどんどん移動します。
目の前に広がる船から見るナパリコースト❗️景圧巻の景色でした。
帰りに夕食(タコスでした)を食べながら、戻ります。クッキーも配られました。
(紙皿ジプロックにいれて、持って帰る人もいました)その間中、フリードリンクです。
トイレも2つあり、安心して飲めます。
イルカは見れませんでしたが、5月だったのにクジラを数回見る事が出来ラッキーでした。
サンセットもこの日は雲の邪魔なく、本当に素晴らしかったです。
カウアイ島での良い思い出になりました。
港に戻ったのは、19:30頃。4時間くらい乗ってます。ずっと走っているのて、揺れるので船酔いが心配な人は、薬を飲んだ方が良いと思います。
屋根のある船の中は寒くありませんが、走っているので景色を見る時に、薄手のウインドブレーカーは必ず持っていく事をオススメします。
日焼けも必要な方はいるかも。
日本人は私達だけで、全て英語でしたがクルーの方2名がとても親切で、サービスもよくとっても楽しい時間を過ごせました。
We are so glad to have had you aboard and are beaming reading how much you enjoyed your adventure! Thank you so much for joining us and for letting us know what you thought of the experience! We hope to see you again soon! Mahalo and Aloha

This was a good experience all the way around! Ordering tickets was easy through Veltra. Check in was seamless.
The 10 min tram ride around the beautiful grounds was just long enough to give an overview of the area but not so long that a 3 year old would get bored. They allowed time before dinner to walk around and get the wiggles out. The food was good and they even marked the gluten free dishes. There was another break before the show to run around and use the restrooms (even had a golf cart to transport there & back). The acts were exciting enough, and short enough to keep the toddler entertained and the fire dancer was great! Only drawbacks: cell service almost non-existent (hard to connect with late arrivers), lots of waiting to get in because of the photo line-maybe do it after tram ride).

This adventure was all that we read on-line....and more!! We came into Lihue on a cruise and chose to do the tubing adventure. Our guides, BJ and Poncho, made this experience even better....comical, informative, safe and most of all, fun!! Service while checking in was fast and friendly. During the ride up to the start of the tubing on the irrigation ditch, BJ provided insite into the history of the sugar plantation and creation of the ditch, pointed out areas of interest. We stopped for photo opp and then into the water on our tubes. This was a great experience, fun traveling through the tunnels and never felt unsafe. Our group loved this!!
