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

Sunset cruise

Reviewed by: Disha

Oh what a day! We saw whales up close and dancing dolphins! Captain stopped for the whales and took their time. Napali coast was gorgeous. The sunset was a real beauty that evening as well.

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

Na Pali Sunset River Cruise

Reviewed by: Rosanna

My husband and I had a wonderful time on this dinner cruise! Captain Cole was a great skipper. He was informative in a fun way. Our crew Sara, Ahren and Keenan were super friendly and helpful. (We took another reviewers advice and took some Dramamine ahead of time just in case, since it did get a bit choppy. But, we enjoyed it) Our crew served nonstop beverages of all kinds and many yummy appetizers. Dinner was delicious and ample. We were able to see many whales which was an added surprise. Thank you all so much for a wonderful experience!

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.

Introductory Two-Tank Kauai Scuba Diving Boat Tour (from Poipu)

Over the top experience and a little scary, too!

Reviewed by: jblomme

John was our scuba expert and my two daughters and I were novices so we went through an orientation and practice dive with him. We enjoyed our boat ride to the sites and our Captain was a great guide and helped us get views of sea turtles, whales and dolphins. He also explained the coastline and made sure we got good photos! The first dive we were more focused on our breathing but still managed to see a lot of incredible fish! On the second dive we were more relaxed and able to focus on our beautiful surroundings . The sea turtles were so close we could have touched them (illegal though!) . I felt like I was part of Finding Nemo with all the fabulous fish we saw! We saw a starfish, trumpetfish, reef triggerfish, pennant butterfly fish, white spotted toby, yellow stripe goatfish, etc. It was wonderful to be in such a surreal environment . I’ve had scuba diving on my bucket list for around 40 years- We did it. I will never forget this adventure, John and the Crew from Seasport Divers that it all happen!

  • Enjoying the views, whales, sea turtles and dolphins with our Captain

  • Feeling incredibly lucky for our wonderful scuba experience

The staff was very friendly and they try really hard to be sure you have fun even if the cruise itself can be a little bit boring.
I didn’t appreciate that they don’t say anything to people who don’t wear a mask even if it’s still mandatory. That part was really annoying.

Hidden Valleys of Kauai Waterfall Swim, Kayak & Hike Adventure

Highly Recommend!

Reviewed by: Emily

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!

A highlight of our trip!

Learning to surf with Jared at Kauai Surf School was an amazing experience. My husband and I took our 4 and 6 year old kids for a group lesson. We all got up on the board! Jared was extremely patient with the kids and was great at explaining the process to them on land first. He was also very encouraging with the kids. This was a highlight of our trip and something the kids keep talking about. Would highly recommend!

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.

  • A view from the boat

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.

Ultimate Kauai Private Island Tour with Expert Guide

Orlando was awesome

Reviewed by: Lee

First, our driver/guide Orlando was simply amazing. He was quite knowledgeable and helpful. Orlando’s sense of humor kept us relaxed and laughing. Orlando picked us up right on time. We mentioned to him we would need frequent restroom stops. Not only was he accommodating but he was very picky about where he stopped being conscious of cleanliness. Speaking of cleanliness, our vehicle was spotless and very comfortable. We loved his guidance and took him to lunch. I cannot recommend this tour more highly. When you book, be sure to ask for Orlando!

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.

Blue Hawaiian Helicopters Kauai Eco Adventure Flight from Lihue

Unforgettable experience and views!

Reviewed by: Sarah Harris

When I knew I was bringing my kids to Kauai, this was the number one experience I wanted to share with them. I had done a similar flight over 25 years ago with my family and had never forgotten it. We booked the flight easily through Veltra (when trying to book all our experiences in one website).
From the moment we got to the offices their staff were friendly and their safety protocol was top notch (which also included Covid safety restrictions as well while we were there). They fit my family of three with another couple and off we went. The views were breathtaking! It was so hard to believe that views you can usually only see in a movie or TV show we’re playing out before your very eyes. I will never forget passing by Jurassic park waterfall with the soundtrack playing in my ears. I love things like that!
The pilot was constantly telling us about different things we were seeing telling us what to expect in the rest of the trip as far as directions. She was also very attentive and offered to fly back a smoother route when unfortunately one of my kids did have side effects from the motion.
I can’t wait to go again and maybe I will try there helicopters on the various different islands. It is an unforgettable experience and so worth the money. I wish we would’ve bought our DVD now!

  • Amazing views!

  • Headphones to hear pilot (and soundtrack)!

  • Lots of room inside for my tall kids and me!

  • Nature is so amazing!

  • Great way to see these views without hiking!

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。船からみるﾅﾊﾟ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ﾋﾞｽがあります。行きはノンアルコール飲料のみのｻｰﾋﾞｽで､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。イルカはﾅﾊﾟ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
