Kayak Kauai Hanalei River & Blue Lagoon Kayak & Snorkel Adventure
Awesome adventure for our family of 4!
Reviewed by: Jamie Straatsma
My husband and two teenagers loved this kayak adventure! Our guides were very friendly, funny and calm. Jay was very informative and gave us a wonderful history lesson on the island and its culture. He did a wonderful job preparing us for our journey and guiding us through the river and ocean. We did make the journey to the farthest beach on the ocean and it was well worth it! We snorkeled with some sea turtles and enjoyed our time at the beach.
It was a great way to finish up our trip on Kauai. I appreciate all that our guides did to inform us and keep us safe as well as teach us about the island and its culture. I would highly recommend this!

Sacred Falls Adventure - Wailua River Kayak, Hike & Waterfall Swim
Rising river cancelled half the trip but not half the cost.
Reviewed by: Reid Johnson
The guide was excellent, the river and surroundings were breathtaking. Unfortunately, high winds and a rising river stopped our paddles without ever seeing the falls. Weather is unpredictable, but since we paddled twice as hard against the winds, it was exhausting. Thought there might be a discount of some kind since our 4 hr. tour only lasted 2 1/2. Better luck next time, I guess. Would do it again with better conditions.
Aloha Reid,
Man proposes and the the gods dispose!
All our guides are excellent and do a great job in not only sharing the cultural and natural history of the area, but most important keeping you safe in questionable weather.
We do offer a discount when weather conspires and abbreviates a tour. Veltra should be extending a discount; if not, you know how to reach us.
Stay well and look forward to your return.

Smith's Family Garden Luau - Polynesian & Fire Show, Dinner and Open Bar
Great luau! A little late for jet lagged kids
Reviewed by: KW
Great luau! A little late for our 3 and 5 year old (no dinner, just the show). But they slept on the benches with our jackets and we were able to enjoy the show. Next time, I would plan this later in the trip than our 2nd night so the kids could have enjoyed it more. Jet lag was tough on the little ones!

Sacred Falls Adventure - Wailua River Kayak, Hike & Waterfall Swim
A Unforgettable Adventure!!!
Reviewed by: Lana
We were so fortunate to have our guide all to ourselves. He was so informative, patient, and watchful to make sure we had the best experience. The kayaking was challenging but Fun!!, The Hike to the waterfall was also challenging!! Never crossed a small river hanging on to a rope!!! It was Amazing!!!! You haven't really lived until you have lived this Adventure!! 100% worth every minute and every penny!! This was a birthday present for our son and it wound up being a present for all of us.
Aloha Lana,
Yep a rope is always nice especially when crossing a thigh high river.
Glad you enjoyed the guide and the personal touch and we are looking forward to seeing you back.
Thanks for taking the time to share.
Stay well and active.

Kauai Beach Boys Hawaiian Outrigger Canoe Surfing Ride
So much fun!
Reviewed by: Kees
We had so much fun doing outrigger canoeing! Our instructor (sorry, don’t remember his name) was so nice. He was good at telling us what we needed to do when we needed to do it. On our first run, we were able to coast almost all the way to the beach. We went out and back I think 4 times. We did have some problems finding where we were supposed to go because the directions were a bit u clear. But we planned ahead and still got there on time. So glad we did this. We would to do it again next time we visit Kaua’i. I wouldn’t mind taking surfing lessons from our same instructor too. All in all, great time had by all.

Reviewed by: Renee
A great way to experience surfing! Perfect for 2-3 people. Paddle captain was very friendly, helpful, and able to share lots of information. As with any outdoor activity, it is dependent on weather and conditions. Unfortunately, our morning had very calm seas. We were able to catch a few good waves, so not a complete bust!

Smith's Family Garden Luau - Polynesian & Fire Show, Dinner and Open Bar
It was ok
Reviewed by: B Denney
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!

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.

Great experience
Reviewed by: wallatom
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.

Aloha Jamie,
You went on our other "Secret Tour"!
Our Hanalei Blue Lagoon is slowly getting more recognition and Jay and our other rive/ocean guides are very responsible for this trend.
Jay is great in the field and to work with and as the summer season comes up with us, often is guiding and sea kayaking the more rigorous Na Pali coast.
Thanks for sharing your kind words, as I will with Jay.
Stay active and well.
