Sacred Falls Adventure - Wailua River Kayak, Hike & Waterfall Swim
Awesome Adventure
Reviewed by: NessaMarie, 2014/09/10This tour was the highlight of our trip. My 13 year old son and I had an awesome time. Our tour guide Amos was very knowledgeable, friendly, and my son talked about Amos and the hike the whole ride home. We will definitely do it again!

カウアイ島 マウンテン・チューブ・アドベンチャーツアー 浮き輪に乗って大自然の中を川下り＜英語ガイド／昼食付き／リフエ地区＞
楽しくのんびり
Reviewed by: sada, 2014/08/28集合場所まではレンタカーですんなり行けました。
やはり、日本人は私達夫婦だけでした。ジープで移動中自己紹介的なことがありカタコトで話楽しかったです。水路に行くまで歩いてガイドもありました。大きなチューブに乗りぷかぷかと水路を浮いて下るだけですが、途中トンネルがありヘルメットのライトをつけて浮いていきました。スリル的なことはないですが、ぷかぷかと流れに任せるのも変わっていて、楽しかったです。

Smith's Family Garden Luau - Polynesian & Fire Show, Dinner and Open Bar
Luau
Reviewed by: redrobin, 2014/08/26My thought was that a Luau was supposed to take place while eating the wonderful buffet food. At this Luau we sat down at long tables and did enjoy a delicious buffet. However, then we had to move to another location where they had bleacher seating, which was extremely uncomfortable. The show itself was just ok as it did not have a lot of spectacular associated with it. There was only one guy who did an act with fire. Most of it was just basic hula dancing and not what I would have expected. VERY uncomfortable seating and MEDIOCRE dancing. I would not recommend this Luau to any of my friends are family who may wish to visit Hawaii.
I was however pleased with Veltra tours and the professionalism and the call I received for verification of activities. Thank You.

Smith's Kauai Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto with Live Entertainment
Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto
Reviewed by: Jackie, 2014/08/04I was disappointed. I had been there about 4 years ago and the Fern Grotto was beautiful with lots of beautiful flowers to look at. It was so over grown you could hardly see the water fall. I also felt rushed, no time to admire the flowers that were there. I would not recommend this.

Smith's Family Garden Luau - Polynesian & Fire Show, Dinner and Open Bar
Excellent!
Reviewed by: Kristin M, 2014/07/27Smith's Luau was fantastic. As we entered, we took the tram ride around the grounds, during which we heard an excellent overview of information. We then had enough time to wander back through and read placards or take pictures of the beautiful scenery. Hearing about the imo and the roasted pig was really informative. The food at the luau was DELICIOUS! Especially the kalua pig. Yum! The show was also very good. Overall, a fantastic night. Highly recommended.

Reviewed by: Gladys Perry, 2014/07/22It is always awesome to see an island by air up close and personal. My niece had never been on a helicopter and was so impressed with Blue Hawaiian. I have been on many other helicopter rides but the new technology is impressive.
Aloha Gladys! Thanks so much for this review! We are so happy you enjoyed your flight! Please come see us again! Mahalo, The Blue Crew

Smith's Kauai Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto with Live Entertainment
More than Worth the Money
Reviewed by: Kelly Crain, 2014/07/19I really enjoyed this. The staff were friendly, but not pushy. Nobody tried to sell me something else or tried to get me to upgrade to something else. The boat ride was pleasant, scenic, and informative. The grotto is pretty, but I think the benefit is the boat ride, music, and hula demonstrations. I would definitely do this again.

Smith's Family Garden Luau - Polynesian & Fire Show, Dinner and Open Bar
Awsome grounds...great food....so so show...
Reviewed by: Raslco, 2014/07/12We have attended luaus on other islands and the show at this luau was not impressive. The grounds were amazing , beautiful picture opportunities ....and the food was delicious!!! We were not impressed with the show. The seating was stadium seating which was extremely uncomfortable. The show was not interactive with audience......I believe the "host" was pre-recorded?
Again.....we've been to other islands and have been to much better.

Kipu Ranch Kauai ATV Tour with Waterfall Swim - Triple Trail Expedition
Great experience
Reviewed by: Lora Keller, 2014/07/09This excursion was originally booked for my daughters 17th birthday celebration, as your description states that you only have to be 16 to drive with a valid drivers license ,however apon check in it was discovered that this policy changed over 2 years ago.
Rules are rules, and she was not allowed to drive.....HOWEVER......everyone bend over backwards to correct the situation and make my daughters day still special. It was hard
to stay upset as everyone did what they could do and did so quickly. While still on the ride, I got a voicemail from VELTRA apologizing for their error and that it was taken care of before we even returned .
The staff and guides were the nicest people and made the whole experience a wonderful one. Thank you to VELTRA for correcting your error so quickly....she can't wait till next time to be old enough to drive, and thank you to the staff for being so awesome!

Kipu Ranch Kauai ATV Tour with Waterfall Swim - Triple Trail Expedition
Only single rider on the trip!
Reviewed by: Lora Keller, 2014/07/09Family review is posted separately, my single rider experience was AWESOME!!!!
It was an amazing experience and the guides were very good at giving direction on how to handle sticky situations. The only thing that would have made the experience better would have been MORE MUD!
The lunch was fresh and delicious, and we even got to share it with some wild pig.
The guides were very informative and couldn't have cared more about you if you were their own family.
I ended up being the only single rider on this trip, and I loved every moment of it!
Aloha Lora,
We are pleased to read that you had an awesome time! We would like to thank you for coming out with us & for including us on your vacation to Kaua'i.

Kauai Backcountry Adventures Mountain Tubing Tour with Lunch
Fun but too short of a tube ride for the cost.
Reviewed by: Travel4fun Group, 2014/07/07This is a good adventure but it's only a 45 minute tube ride. We started with a drive to a scenic spot for pictures then back in the vehicle for a ride to the ditch. We did a short nature walk then got our safety instruction. Finally, we got into the ditch for our ride. It was a lot of fun and going through the tunnels was great. The water moves you along pretty good so you will not need to paddle anywhere. It was just too quick of a ride! After the ride we had lunch. The meal was basic but good. We had a short ride back to the warehouse/office. If you want a relaxing excursion, then this is it, but not your best bang for your buck.

Kipu Ranch Kauai ATV Tour with Waterfall Swim - Triple Trail Expedition
Excellent adventure
Reviewed by: Travel4fun Group, 2014/07/07What a blast! We rode in the Teryx 4 seaters and everyone had a fantastic time. The staff was great (James and Marlon). They were very knowledgeable about the ranch and history of the island. It had rained heavy the night before and still a little rainy when we started out which made the adventure even more fun in the mud. We enjoyed it so much we went back the next week and did their 'Teryx and BBQ tour' with James, which was completely different from the waterfall tour. We saw other parts of the ranch plus the food was great. This tour is only on Wednesdays for no more than 6 Teryx and not advertised. On our second tour the roads were dry and DUSTY. It was still fun but you will get dirty. If You only had time for one tour, I recommend the waterfall tour. It's a 4 hour tour (the BBQ tour is only 3 hours) because you will see more parts of the ranch and will get to swim under a waterfall towards the end of your adventure.
We are pleased to hear you had a great time out on tour! When you come back next time we hope you have a chance to come back. Thank you for including Kipu Ranch Adventures in your vacation to Kaua'i.
Mahalo,
