Fern Grotto

Reviewed by: June

We had a wonderful time. Very enjoyable smooth ride in the river. The foliage was very pretty. Easy walk to the grotto. It was fun before when you could go up in the grotto. Enjoyed the singers and hula dancer. Would definitely recommend it.

シダの洞窟観光ツアー　ワイメア渓谷＆ポイプ潮吹岩＆オパエカア滝 ＜英語ガイド＞

渓谷素晴らしい

Reviewed by: まりえ

女性ドライバーさん一人でツアーをしてくれます。対応良いです。
英語なので各所の集合時間が聞き取れず困惑しました。
ワイメア渓谷は壮大で素晴らしいものでした。
ランチは自由時間1時間、各自好きなお店で食べるんですが、店選び・注文・食事時間でとても時間が足りず、食事は飲み込んで走ってバスに乗り込みました。
最後にシダの洞窟クルーズねシダの洞窟でフラショーしてくれて、帰りのクルーズ中では、歌・フラショー・フラレッスンが催されとても楽しかったです。
ドライバーさんも疲れた表情見せずホテルまで送ってくれました。

Kauai Sunset Cruise with Open Bar - Ocean & River Boat Tour from Lihue

Best Sunset Cruise in Kauai

Reviewed by: Shenoy

We thoroughly enjoyed our time on the sunset Cruise. We had a small group, and it honestly felt like a private cruise. The drinks were amazing, and the view even better! Louis explained the history of the place as we cruised by, and it made the experience a memorable one for sure! Thank you!!

Sacred Falls Adventure - Wailua River Kayak, Hike & Waterfall Swim

Great family experience!

Reviewed by: Mike E.

This was a great experience for my wife, our 16-year old daughter and me! And our guide, Tyler, was extremely helpful, friendly and knowledgeable about the area and the various interesting things we experienced along the river and the trail leading up to the waterfall. We highly recommend this excursion to anyone visiting Kauai!

Yes, the trail is muddy, but you just have to, in Tyler's words, "Embrace the mud" and not worry about it and your experience will be much enhanced. And the falls at the end were magnificent -- my daughter and I swam up to the base of them and the winds had spray had to be hurricane-force.

My only advice is to book the early-morning tours, before the crowds begin showing up. That way, you will have the trail (and the falls) mostly to yourself, and the mud won't be as bad.

This was a great experience and is highly recommended. Thanks Tyler!

Reply from activity provider

Aloha Mike,

Nice review and correct, if you come with the mind set that it will be muddy, you will have better time.

We are blessed to have Tyler working with us.

Morning tours are definitely nice, but ending the day on the river is not too shabby either.

Thanks for sharing and thanks for making it possible and for your kind words.

A hui hou,

Micco
Head Guide.

Snuba Tours of Kauai | Small-Group Guided Beach SNUBA Diving Tour at Lawai Beach

Great experience with kids

Reviewed by: Steve

We had a great time doing this. The guys were super friendly and relaxed and nice. My brother and I had some experience with scuba, but our kids--ages 16, 13 and 11--did not. It was a quick orientation and we were in the water. We walked right in off the beach. The kids did great. My son had a little trouble being comfortable breathing through a regulator, but still enjoyed it. He just stayed up closer to the surface. The other two had no difficulty with it at all. I was actually surprised at all the different fish we saw. It's not like you're swimming with hundreds of fish all around you, but that's just not available in an outing like this. But it was a great experience that all of us enjoyed and it didn't have to be an all-day commitment.

Wailua River Kayak, Rainforest Hike & Waterfall Swim Adventure with Lunch

Amazing

Reviewed by: Joyce

The whole experience was fantastic! Adam, our guide, was super friendly and great to talk to. He was very knowledgeable.

For those planning this, the kayak trip was a little work so be prepared for that. My husband and I thought we were in great shape but we struggled a bit. It’s 2.5 miles of fast, no break, paddling. The hike was super fun. Again, be prepared to work a little. You will hike in ankle deep mud in places. It’s slippery so the walking stick (supplied) was a big help. We saw a
lot of people struggle.

The waterfall was breathtaking. Eating lunch there was surreal. Definitely worth doing!

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

A warm and welcoming crew

Reviewed by: Lesli Takasugi

This was our first time visiting the lovely Fern Grotto, and we had a wonderful time. The crew were so sweet, especially with our daughter who got into one of the local plants that made her cry and tongue swell. They performed hula and sang beautifully, playing to the children on board. We highly recommend this short river boat ride for families with young kids.

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

Fun Kauai Luau

Reviewed by: DrJPaulWede

My wife and I had a fun and entertaining experience at the Smith Family Luau. Transportation by bus was prompt from the Nawiliwili cruise pier. We were greeted with shell leis and had a quick tram tour of the gardens. My wife absolutely loved taking photos of the gardens flora. After the tram ride we watched the roasted pig be unearthed from the underground cooking pit. Then we went to the large pavilion where pre-dinner cocktails were served. I saw the crowd and said to myself “oh brother”, but the bartenders had a system set up that made the lines move quickly and getting drinks was no problem. We we called up by tables for the buffet, which also moved quickly, and the authentic Hawaiian fare was delicious! During this time we were entertained with Hawaiian music and dance. After the delicious food and drink, we walked over to the amphitheater to view the evening dance entertainment. As it was well after dark, the stage was lit and had a live band playing most of the dance numbers. We were treated to native Hawaiian, Tahitian, Philippine, Japanese, and Maori dances. After the show, we made our way to the buses and back to the pier. The entire experience took about 4 hours.

Recommendations include wearing bug spray, especially for the outdoor show, and if you would like a leisurely, extensive tour of the gardens, get there before 5 o’clock, to beat the crowds and the sunset.

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Veltra. When we got to the site, the operators mistakenly charged us for transportation, which had already been paid in the original purchase. As we were a “captive audience” at the time, I went ahead and paid it again, and would sort it out later. The next day, I received an email from Veltra stating that they caught the error, and would refund the amount to my credit card. A few days later, I received the credited amount. I didn’t have to lift a finger. Now that’s proactive customer service!

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

Beautiful experience

Reviewed by: Irene M

We were originally not going to attend a luau but decided last minute to do so as this was recommended by locals as a must do experience. The family and staff were wonderful, absolutely loved talking to the Aunties. The food was good with a variety to choose from. The show incorporated different dances representing the different backgrounds in Hawaiian culture in addition to the Polynesian beginnings. The gardens were beautiful. Definitely recommend this luau as you get not just food and a show but a chance to walk through the gardens with a tram tour to start and also to talk to the friendly staff. They all have such wonderful stories and experiences to share!

  • Too much food to choose from but must have the kalua pork!

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

Fabulous Luau on Kauai

Reviewed by: Kim in PA

Our only opportunity for a Luau was on Kauai when our ship overnighted. This was an excellent choice. Optional transportation from cruise ship, be prepared for long lines, was a great add on. You arrive in plenty of time to explore all the gardens with time to spare before the Imu Ceremony. Lots of time to find a seat in the pavilion before your table is invited to the buffet line. After you are done eating, make your way to the theater to get a good seat for the show. It's a good show, but goes on a bit too long. Make your way back to the parking lot to board your bus for the short ride back to the cruise terminal.

FUN from beginning to end, so glad we did it!

Reviewed by: Kim in PA

It was a torrential rain storm when we arrived at their location to check in for our Mountain Tubing Adventure at Kauai Backcountry Adventures. All through getting outfitted and the bus ride to the put in spot, it poured. Once we arrived and stored our belonging, as we about to get into the tubes, the heavens parted, the rain stopped and the sun came out. Staff is friendly and helpful. They do a good job of going over everything you need to know to enjoy and be safe along with what to expect. Their website also did a good job of preparing us for what to expect. We were 2 among 20 in our group and we were all laughing and enjoying the water, the ditch and the company. They take pictures along the way that you can later purchase. Everything about this tour from start to finish was awesome. It was too wet to picnic at the spot so they took us back to their warehouse which worked out great for us. Our guides, Johnny and Ryan were knowledgeable, professional and fun.
If you are looking for a unique thing to do on Kauai, this is it!
