When I think of a Luau, I think of the movie with Adam Sandlin, Jennifer Aniston, and Nicole Kidman in Just Go With It - in Maui.
The Luau we attended here was different than my expectations. The arboretum on the property was beautiful and full of a variety of plants, trees, animals, and some sea life.
The buffet style food approach was ok, but nothing exceptional unfortunately.
After dinner, there was a show to reflect the Hawaiian history and culture through dance, which culminated in a one-man fire stick show.
Again, all okay. Probably the coolest thing to me was the fact that it's a family business of more than 5 generations. Hats off to them!

This boat tour was the highlight of our trip! Captain Mike was funny and a great driver! His crew was also great at telling us about the coast, wildlife and history of Kaua'i. We were able to snorkle and I had a misshapen with the snorkle gear and they helped me through the issue and really made me feel comfortable snorkeling (my first time). The crew was funny and really made the boat tour the best it could be. We also saw many dolphins and humpback whales! If you only do one thing on Kaua'i you have to do the tour with the Napl'i Kai 3 boat tour with Captain Mike!

I enjoyed the cruise and found it informative. The grotto was beautiful and there were a lot of interesting plants along the jungle like walk.
My husband didn't care for it because of the amount of people on board. A bus from a cruise ship let ofF their tour people which made it pretty crowded but that is to be expected. My husband just doesn't like to be in crowds.

My daughter and son-in-law are visiting Kauai for the first time and I wanted their visit to be so special. I couldn't be there to greet them, but I'm so glad that Don could be there for me. He had amazing communication with me as soon as their plain landed all the way to when he got home from greeting our kids. He did an amazing job and even sent me pictures!!! I couldn't have asked for a better way for them to start their trip and they were thrilled with this special greeting!! AND, I got a great deal with the buy one get one free special!!!

We were reassured that the tour would be a "go" even though rain was threatening. The group was a bit hesitant but the trip went without a hitch, even when the skies opened up and we got dumped on. The tubing portion was great and a lot of fun for all. Kiersten was a great lead guide, and her team made sure that everyone was safe. Lunch was good, but dampened by the downpour. Overall, I believe that everyone in the group had a wonderful time. We highly recommend this adventure. Special kudos to Kiersten.

The adventure starts with kayaking out of the marina and up the river. The current is very slow, so you have plenty of photo opportunities and chances to enjoy the views. Wear a hat and sunscreen, you don't have shade for much of this portion.
Next is a hike through the rainforest. 95% of the hike is easy. There are a few river crossings, muddy inclines, and slippery/uneven footings. The hike is definitely not grueling, and I never felt tired. But if someone had mobility or balance issues, they would struggle at a few spots. I'd take my kids, but not my grandma.
Third is lunch at the waterfall. It's an uneven/rocky area, but our lunch was good. The views here are amazing. The pool of water is VERY cold. It's shallow enough to walk all the way under the waterfall.
You get about an hour at the waterfall. Then you hike and kayak back to where you started.
Our guide was Justice. He was very knowledgeable about the plants, wildlife, and history of the area. He had lots of interesting stories. The trip was enjoyable & he definitely added to the fun. Justice will tell you that "Hawaii is magic" and after this vacation we might agree.
When we eventually make it back to Kauai, visiting the waterfall will surely be on the list of activities.
Wow Russell and/or Maddison,
One of you should write a guide book. Do you want to start writing copy for us? (Smiling face)
A very,,,,very good description of what is involved and might say the the excellence of our guides such as Justice.
Thanks for taking the time…it’s a beautiful world out there.
Stay well and active.

After a 13 hour travel delay, 6 flight cancelations and delays we ended up with an 11pm arrival. Dan was there to meet us as we got of the plane. His smile and calm demeanor really helped turn things around for us. As he placed the Lei and welcomed us I just couldn't help but think this was worth it. In that moment the stress of our day seemed to melt away.
Dan's smile and wealth of knowledge was exactly what we needed to get our Hawaiian adventure off to an amazing start.
The Leis themselves were phenomenal. Well crafted, fresh and better than I imagined.
I will be recommending this family business to everyone I know.
Thank You so much!!

Overall it was a great experience! We had two guides, first for the kayak then another guide joined us once we were done kayaking. Both guides were easy to talk with, funny, and knew the land's history and the foliage. The fun stops with jumping into pools of water. The ziplines were a blast! The final plunge into another pool of water was awesome! The lunch was yummy. The company accommodated our request with a gluten-free bread and treat! I would highly recommend the trip!

Very well organized! Our guides were very informative of the area. It's the perfect blend of riding with brief stops to take amazing pictures and breathe in Kauai's beauty and gorgeous scenery. It rained throughout our tour which made it muddier and that much more fun! We saw the waterfall, but for safety reasons, weren't able to swim in it. Be sure to take clothes and SHOES you won't mind getting muddy. The facility had an area to rinse off after the tour. It's an adventure must do!

The riverboat cruise was a great experience. The riverboat ride was gentle and relaxing. The views were exceptional. Our host gave us a background of the area, which was interesting, and also let us enjoy the peaceful silence as well. Seeing the kayakers on the river was enjoyable. My only advice would be to wear good shoes with traction. The walk up to the grotto can be a little slippery due to moisture and moss. The entertainment that took place at the destination of the grotto, was really entertaining. Enjoy the ride!
