Awesome Experience

Reviewed by: Donna

Our family had never been to Hawaii before and a friend at work suggested the Luau at the Smith Planatation and we were so excited. We had a really great time and the staff are so friendly. I would definitely go back.

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>

マウンテンチューブ

Reviewed by: LINDA

集合場所の事務所が奥まって分かりずらいので、時間に余裕をもって早めに着いておくのをおすすめします。
タオルも必ず入ります。私は忘れていったので途中のスーパーで買いました。
激しいアトラクションではなく用水路をプカプカ浮かんでゆっくりいく感じです。途中何個かトンネルもあり少しスリリングです。
一度は行ってみるといいですよ!

Blue Hawaiian Helicopters Kauai Eco Adventure Flight from Lihue

Awesome flight!

Reviewed by: Denise S

My husband and I went on the Blue Hawaiian helicopter tour of Kauai. The outift was recommended to me by my boss, who had done it 20 years ago. The flight was amazing! You may think that you can see the island from a plane, but it is not the same. The center of Kauai has no roads, so this is the only way to see the area. The views of Waimea canyon and the Napali coast were awesome. My husband had never been on a helicopter tour before and was a little nervous. He was given the front seat by the door and I sat between him and the pilot. The seating is decided by weight. Well, my husband and I loved it. Everyone aboard did. The pilot (Jason) was great. He was funny and informative. I would highly recommend blue hawaiian helicopter tours.

We had a wonderful time with this really neat tubing trip. Our guides were alot of fun and made the trip interesting, even the van ride. Seeing the interior of the island was different and seeing the inside of the hand-dug caves was so cool.
Thanks for making memories...

Kauai Backcountry Adventures Mountain Tubing Tour with Lunch

Butt chill

Reviewed by: Brian

From start to finish, this was one of the best experiences we had on the island. The trip out to the start was comfortable, informative and entertaining. Having a sound system that allowed the guide to talk normally and permit even those in the back of the van to hear was absolutely perfect. Our guides (unfortunately we don't remember them all) were just a fun bunch of guys! They enjoyed their jobs and it showed!

We were never bored because we never had a chance to get bored. The guys told us what to expect and allayed any fears anyone in the group had. Riding the tubes through the canals and caves was easy and very enjoyable. This is not an "adrenaline rush" activity but don't let that deter you. It was a relaxing but fun event for all in our group from the ten year old out to grandpop! A wonderful activity for all ages and physical levels.

The food and entertainment the guys put on was perfect. They obviously like what they do, with the guests and themselves. We didn

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

Smiths Tropical Paradise Luau Kauai

Reviewed by: Peggy - World Traveler

This was amazing !!!
The Smith family really know how to put on a show!

Pros: Great food, awesome gardens, great fun time, plenty of time to have fun and take pictures. Easy fun experience. Great for ANYONE! Lots of peacocks to take photos with. Great staff. The after show was AMAZING cultural world tour far beyond my experiences at othe Luau's. It could easily compete with a Lav Vegas show!! You have to see to believe! Iwon't share more to avoid giving too much away. Smith's is one of the best Luau in Kauai. Even my teenager had a ball ! She was grinning ear to ear. PRICELESS!

Con: Its a really BIG CROWD becauses they seat so many, there's lots of people you eat with etc but not overwhelming. Just alot.

What to take with you. SunGlasses, mosquito spray, camera of course, easy dress (Where something comfy, pretty or fun). Hawaii dress or whatever. Its easy and nice.

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

Amazing

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

This was our first vacation to Hawaii. The Smith's Tropical Paradise Luau was our first luau (and let me say the only luau we will ever go to). This place is amazing. The greeting with the shell lei's by the staff in their outfits felt very welcoming. The tram ride around the grounds was short, but very sweet. The food was excellent and authentic. The music during dinner was fun and entertaining, BUT the music and dancing during the luau ceremony was awesome! I went out and bought a book on the Fire Goddess Pele because of it. Would suggest this to anyone!!

Kauai Backcountry Adventures Mountain Tubing Tour with Lunch

Mountain Tubing ROCKS!

Reviewed by: Peggy - World Traveler

This is one of the most amazing things we have ever done.

It is GOREGOUS scenery between the five tunnels.

Why? Where else can you go tubing INSIDE TUNNELS in the dark (you have helmet with lights so don't worry).

It was fantastic and fun. The guides rocked and catered to every person and small children needs as well. They were responsive, helpful and funny.

Would do this again and again.

Have fun fellow Travelers and Travel Safe!

Smith's Kauai Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto with Live Entertainment

Okay not great

Reviewed by: Peggy - Global Traveler

20 years ago this was a really great trip as you were able to go inside the cave and the water fall there was more than a trickle. Since the Iniki Hurricane in the 90's that is no longer possible. The landslide that happened ended the cave tour part and ended the waterfall being as it was.

I would recommend this to any one who has just landed in Kauai, older couples perhaps, who have never seen a fern grotto of any kind. For kids it is boring. Heard that a few times :)

As for a wedding... I would honestly not recommend this particular trip as it is average or just okay. The boat trip up and back in the boat was the best part. For wedding parties I would honestly recommend arranging something with the Smith Family or one of the local Resorts and doing it as part of a Luau. That would be better. Hawaii Activities can help you find many other events that would be better for a wedding. They rock!

This is a nice easy trip and okay to see. But if you have limited

Mountain Tubing Kauai

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

Pretty basic tubing ride, no rapids or anything like that, just float down a drainage ditch basically, the staff even calls it the ditch. Kinda stunk, like sewer, or cows or something...Probably great for kids, but for over $100 per person, not the best activity for the money...

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

Good but not Great

Reviewed by: Richard A. Vals

First it's a beautiful place. They start you off by giving you a tram ride which is a speed contest among the drivers. They tell you about the plants in super speed mode. Your head is going so quickly from left to right by the time the ride is over you can't remember a plant or tree.
They say there is plenty of food but don't sit in the middle because by the time you get in line your picking the bottom of the bowls unless you want Poi which there is a plentiful supply. The show was good but you had better bring a pair of binoculars because for the majority of it you see it across a lake. Occasionally the performers were in front of you but not often enough. Felt weird is the word for it. Were used to having the performers a lot closer then what they give you.
For paying top dollar for the Best on Kauai I preferred the one with the railroad.

Loved the staff, they were great, fun, and informative. However, was not what I expected. I am not sure what would have made it a better experience. The Fern Grotto itself was beautiful, but there were too many people on the deck to enjoy it. Made it crowded and uncomfortable.

Kayak Kauai Outbound makes this trip an experience not to be missed. Kelly was an extraordinary guide, enthusiastically sharing his knowledge and passion for the land, the local history and ancient culture. He went out of his way to make the hike interactive and interesting. He has a real gift for this. The operation, overall, is very laid back. You're made to feel comfortable with every aspect of the tour. We highly recommend Kayak Kauai Outbound and will surely be returning on our next visit to the island!

We took our family on this tour and are glad we did. The kids both ranked it as one of their favorite activities in Kauai. The staff is friendly and playful. We had a ball with them. Kimo and Melissa were our tubing anchors and they did a great job. If you don't want to get wet and your are worried about your make-up and hair... this tour isn't for you. Great family fun. Would have liked a bit more time at the swimming hole at the end of the tour. We recommend!

伝統ルアウ&フラ ハワイアンショー ハワイ伝統の神聖儀式イム鑑賞付き<ワイルア・マリーナ・ステート・パーク内/夕食付き>

カウアイ島といえば、やっぱりここかな

Reviewed by: ちゃちゃちゃこ

ルアウショーの前に、トラムに乗って園内を見学するのですが、
色んなテーマ別の庭園になっていて、広いお庭でした。

食事については、普通かな…という感想です。

肝心のショーは、ハワイアン以外にポリネシアや中国・日本を表した踊りもあり、
ちょっと変わった面白さもありましたが、ハワイのリピーターで、
ワイキキあたりで他のルアウショーみたことある方だと、物足りないかもしれません。
私は、ハワイアン・タヒチアンフラを期待していたので、ちょっと物足りなかったです。

でもファイヤーダンスはやっぱり盛り上がりますし、カウアイ島に来たのなら
1度はここのルアウ観ておくとよいかなと思います。
数少ない、カウアイの夜の娯楽ですしね。

終わった後、ダンサーの方と写真を撮ってもらえるショーもありますが、
ここは撮る機会はなかったです。
入園の時、撮ってくれた写真($20)買ってしまいました。

シダの洞窟 観光遊覧船 ハワイ唯一の航行可能な川を行く!<英語ガイド/半日>

シダの洞窟

Reviewed by: イキ

日本からハワイへ、さらにカウアイ島へ飛んできたその日の午後に参加しました。時差ぼけの状態なので子どもも連れてのハワイ初日はこのぐらいの穏やかなアクティビティがちょうどよかったです。

同じ敷地内にある、「ハワイ伝統饗宴ルアウと神聖な儀式イム!スミス・トロピカル・パラダイス・ルアウ」と組み合わせてもよかったかもしれません。私たち家族はカウアイ島最終日にルアウを分けて見ましたが、同じ船に乗っている人の中では、この船の後に夕食とルアウのショーを見る予定である人が結構いました。

シダの洞窟はきれいでしたが、家族みんな蚊に刺されました。虫除けを塗っての参加をお奨めします。
