Kauai Backcountry Adventures Mountain Tubing Tour with Lunch

Mountain Tubing Tour was Great

Reviewed by: Papa Rich

What a great adventure. Seth, our activity guide was knowledgeable and entertaining. He was personable as he asked for our names and remembered then throughout. The other guides were just as great, Missy and a name I can’t remember. Everyone at Backcountry Adventures were approachable and answered questions. A definite must do if visiting Kauai.

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

great night of entertainment

Reviewed by: Connie

The performance was very entertaining and professional. The only issue I had was not being able to clearly hear the moderator who was on stage and telling the story. I had to read the details on the brochure to know what was going on. But the show was great and we also enjoyed the grounds and the vendors who were outside.

3.5-Hour Kauai Napali Sunset Dinner Cruise with Open Bar - Holo Holo Charters

Very Fun

Reviewed by: Joe Hartzell

Too windy to cruise up the Na Pali coast the day we went and that was the only negative of an otherwise wonderful experience. I appreciated the safety 1st approach and professional attitude and experience brought by captain and crew. We cruised down the west and south side and had a great time, seeing beautiful shoreline, spinner dolphins and humpback whales. The crew was excellent, and everyone had a blast. Nice job!

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

Server issues - good show

Reviewed by: Davis Family of 10

The Luau event location where we ate and viewed the show was all under roof - very large roof. There is not a bad seat in the place with excellent viewing. The 3-man band for our show was outstanding! They wove the dancing and other acts into an historical account which added interest to the hula and fire dancing. Great costumes and enthusiasm from the performers. The food was medium grade with the desserts below medium grade. The process to be seated was an issue with us as a server is supposed to take you after checking in to your table. No server did that for us. Hence after everyone had been served their salads we noticed nobody brought us a salad. Their head server said since we were not seated properly we were not known to the servers as to who would be serving our table. That was a really bad answer to blame us for their mistake. Once they brought us our salad, they almost immediately were asking us to go through the buffet line for the main course and servers were asking for our unfinished salad plates. Other than this server issue, the venue and show was very good.

Smith's Family Garden Luau - Polynesian & Fire Show, Dinner and Open Bar

Great food, great show!

Reviewed by: kmarquez

The food was probably the best on the island! I 100% recommend this luau! The venue itself is gorgeous and they let you wander around until the event starts so definitely get there a little early, it's worthwhile! The show itself was great as well.

Don't miss out, definitely a must when in Kauai!

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

Sacred falls adventure

Reviewed by: Tenille

We had a great tour, and knowledgeable tour guide, Steve. The kayak and hike were beautiful and the water fall was sooo worth it! We did end up going ahead of our group when we were on our way back as we did have some slower paced people. But we found our way back easy. Would definitely go again!

Reply from activity provider

Aloha Tenille,

Will let Steve know that you enjoyed the tour.

What is nice about our Wailua Rive tour to the falls is that by the time you might get tired paddling, there is the trail to the falls. Nice combination of paddling and hiking.

With the recent rains.the waterfall has been really gushing. Great picture.

Thank you for taking the time to share.

Until then....keep chasing waterfalls.

A hui hou,

Smith's Family Garden Luau - Polynesian & Fire Show, Dinner and Open Bar

Beautiful property, Excellent Food. Show Is Lacking.

Reviewed by: Yuchen

Really fun Luau!

GLOWS:
- Beautiful property. Got to see a peacock open its tail -Lots of great picture spots on the property.
- The food was delicious!! I finally got to try all the traditional Hawaiian food in one place. Things that I didn't get to order in the restaurants, I got here. And it was All You Can Eat which is always amazing. There was no shortage of food for sure. Since they gave you a ton of time (I think an hour?) to eat, you can take your time and go back for 2nd's or 3rd's. (All you can drink drinks but I don't drink alcohol so I enjoyed their juices which were great too!).
- Pig Ceremony!! I got to see them dig out the pig and see the whole thing. It felt special as Mr. Smith explained all that was happening.
- Good singing and hula dancing! Get on the stage and shake your booty!!
- Fire dancer in the show was great!
- This is a family run operation and we were told there were 3 generations on the property!! Keep it up!
- I appreciated the shout outs for all the celebrations that everyone was doing. From Birthdays to Anniversaries and everything in between. One big party!

GROWS:
- Honestly, a Luau is part food and part show and the show was really just lacking. There was no spirit in the performers. I'm not sure if they were bored/tired of doing it night after night or what but I felt almost bad for them(mainly the ladies). The crew was small so they had to do a lot of different dances with the same performers, there was no energy or spirit in any of the dances. Favorite part was definitely the Fire dancer - he was fantastic. The guys also carried a lot more energy than the ladies. I do appreciate the way they tried to incorporate different cultural dances into the show but they all started to look the same after one or two dances. I would've left halfway through the show if it weren't for the fire dancer at the end.

  • Fire dancer!

  • All the foods!

  • THE PIG!

  • The stage for the show

  • Pig ceremony

Awesome Day on the Coast

Reviewed by: Kara

The crew is very friendly and gets to know you as you make your way out to the coast line. Then they provide you with a spectacular tour of the coast while sharing knowledge about the history of the coast line, Hawaiian culture and general ocean sea life. They stopped to show us spinner dolphins as a pod crossed our paths and pointed out other sea life native to Hawaii. Awesome Tour All Around!

Majestic experience on the sea

Reviewed by: Logan

My family, including four kids, had a wonderful time on the Na Pali coast boat tour. The crew went above and beyond to make it a memorable experience. We saw bottlenose and spinner dolphins and tons of whales up close. The views of the coast were mesmerizing. Although the weather did not cooperate for snorkeling, the crew made up for it by letting us jump off the boat and swim. It was a day to remember and a highlight for the kids!

Great family run business.

Reviewed by: CAS

The boat ride over to the fern grotto was easy and short. Heard some history,, took a short walk to the grotto where they sang a song and danced. It was beautiful. Ride back had music and hula dancing. It was a slow day for us and this for perfect in our plans. Relaxing calm ride with great people. Highly recommend………………………………………………………………………………………………………we had a short lesson on how to hula dance on our way back to the dock.
