Reviewed by: Andrew
We loved our tour to the secret falls. The kayak was sturdy and we never felt like there was a risk of flipping. G was a great guide and the sandwich lunch was filling and tasty. We would recommend it to anyone.

Sacred Falls Adventure - Wailua River Kayak, Hike & Waterfall Swim
Amazing trip!
Reviewed by: Cooper
Our guide was informative and friendly. The waterfalls were beautiful and my partner and I had a great time. There were sandwiches, chips and soda that was provided so bring water. They supply dry bags which is a must have. Our host cut up a pineapple at the end and gave us tips on some local areas and food spots to check out.
Aloha Cooper,
I guess we can't do better than amazing. Thanks for a very nice reviews. I believe we are the only company that offers lunches on the river.
Stay paddling, active and Happy Holidays.
Thanks for sharing.

Kipu Safari Adventure - Zipline, Hike, Kayak & Waterfall Swim with Lunch
Fun way to end our trip!
Reviewed by: Kelli Stein
We came as a group of 10 to celebrate a teen birthday on our last day! The guides were very relaxed and fun. They keep you intrigued while passing thru each leg of the journey. The swim holes are epic! Like highlight of the tour for me! The zips were easy, fun and different! I've been on many styles of ziplines, never like some of these! Fun treat! The river was beautiful and the lush hike was very dense and felt super adventurous! Thanks to Keegan and "Grumpy" (not really) for making it a fun day in nature!

Excellent crew and talent, Fern Grotto not truly accessible
Reviewed by: Michele
Our group of 4, aged 50s to 70s, very much enjoyed the entertainment and river history. One of our group was in a wheelchair. Bathrooms were accessible but the ramp to see Fern Grotto was so steep that 2 of us chose bathrooms over seeing that trip endpoint. This excursion is the best value on the island. Book it!

Kauai Backcountry Adventures Mountain Tubing Tour with Lunch
Fun and adventurous tubing experience!
Reviewed by: Heather
This was a very cool and unique tubing experience down the ditches of a former sugar plantation. The staff are fun, entertaining, and knowledgeable, including Laki and crew. You will experience views the island that you can not see otherwise. A must do for those who have not done it before. There are five tunnels you pass through along the way. Do not expect a lot of sun time. It was a very fun time.

Smith's Family Garden Luau - Polynesian & Fire Show, Dinner and Open Bar
Great 1st time Luau experience!
Reviewed by: Heather
The Smith Family grounds were beautiful from the moment you walk in. Everything was so visually appealing and everyone was so nice. They take you around the entire grounds in a trolley so you can see everything beforehand. Plus you have time to walk around after the trolley ride. We enjoyed it all even the rain, the unveiling of the pig ceremony, the dinner entertainment, the explanation of the luau dance moves, the Smith Family, the dinner, and the luau show. We would definitely return. I believe it is a must see, especially for those who have never been to the Smith Family Luau before. Keep up the great work Smith family.

Liko Kauai Snorkel Cruises - Na Pali Coast Boat Tour & Sea Cave Adventure
A very fun boat ride and snorkel, I will take this tour again for this price
Reviewed by: Turtle
Relatively on-time schedule, and easy to find the meeting spot.
The tour was well organized with a good size of the crews and customers for the price. The boat is steady and clean, very nice to stay for 5 hours.
The captain was very experienced and he made the boat ride so fun by how he explains things, how he operates the boat, and how he interacts with the customers. He is very respectable and friendly.
The crews are also very informative! They shared so many stories of Hawaii myth, how they grew up in Kauai, and how wonderful nature is.
I am very glad that we did a boat tour to see the Napali Coast. I hiked several trails along the coast and took a flight tour as well. All the views have different looks. I loved that I could get to do snorkel with the boat tour, I swam with so many fish and turtles.

Sacred Falls Adventure - Wailua River Kayak, Hike & Waterfall Swim
Best part of our trip to Kauai!
Reviewed by: J’Neal
This tour was by far our favorite part of our entire trip. The kayaking is beautiful and relaxing - easy enough for beginners (like some people in our group) but still very enjoyable for seasoned kayakers like my husband and me. The hike was also a lot of fun. A bit challenging at times - not so much in the way of fitness, but more-so because there are some places where it’s uneven and slippery. But as long as you wear good water shoes and step carefully, it’s a fairly easy hike even for someone that’s out of shape like me. The waterfall and swimming hole are stunning. Totally worth the muddy hike. Something we’ll never forget. And the guides are AMAZING! Our guide was Garrick - he was super knowledgeable, friendly, fun, and funny. He made the entire trip a blast. And at one point we met up with another group and their guide, Ty, was also super knowledgeable and funny - and played the ukulele on the hike back down. It was great! I would absolutely recommend this to anyone visiting Kauai and would definitely do it again.
Aloha J’Neal,
What a nice review with some advice of how to negotiate the often muddy trail. As you shared good water shoes helps allot.
Thanks for taking the time to let us know, well I mean that Garrick, continues to do good if not great job. Glad that you got to meet one of our other guides Tyler as well.
I can honestly say we have a great group of guides who truly love what they do and are their to interpret and share their particular and unique form of aloha.
Thanks for making it possible. You both sound like you might be candidates for our day long Na Pali sea kayak tour.
Stay active.

Very enjoyable river cruise
Reviewed by: Lisa
Great opportunity to sit back, relax and enjoy and hour and 20 minutes on the Wailua River and “getting married” at the Fern Grotto. The music and hula dancing on the journey up the river added a wonderful ambiance and the history and information on movies filmed on and around the Wailua on the way back was very informative. All in all a wonderful addition to our trip to Hawaii.

Sacred Falls Adventure - Wailua River Kayak, Hike & Waterfall Swim
Challenging but worth it!
Reviewed by: Mary W
As a beginning kayaker, this was an energizing and satisfying ride. Make sure you have sturdy shoes for the hike. Our water ‘shoes’, more like socks, did not work as well as the closed toed more sturdy shoes would have been better and what most people had on. We made it though! That dip in the waterfall was worth the whole trip! J, our guide, was informative, attentive and amusing. Highly recommended.
Aloha Mary,
Yep…just the right amount of paddling and hiking. By the time your arms are getting tired…you are out and hiking to the falls.
Thanks for taking time to share and reflect on your tour with your guide Jay.
Sturdy hiking shoes makes it much more enjoyable; thanks for warning others.

Kauai Waimea Canyon Sightseeing, Kokee Nature Walk & Coffee Tour with Lunch
Waimea Canyon and the south and west side sightseeing on/off tour with lunch!
Reviewed by: Cara Christy
This experience is a really good sightseeing tour. We covered about 1/2 of the island Kauai from the south, the west, and the north side from about 9a-4p.The places we stopped were great and the were plenty of bathroom breaks! I did think there would be more hiking involved because of the description. There is a nature trail at Koke’e State Park that is nice. Our guide was a native Hawaiian with great stories to tell!
The shops in Hanapepe were fun to shop at! We loved the swinging bridge there! And, the stop at the coffee farm was great with amazing coffee to be taste tested and purchased. You could also see the coffee beans being grown on the trees! It was a fun trip!

I had the worst experience on this tour, had to wait about an hour and a half for the driver to do a food pick up and then wasted an extra hour plus just idling at a pic nic site after everyone had finished eating their lunch, while we speeded through all the main sights and barely had time to take photos of the breathtaking Waimea Canyon!!!!!
