My friends and I can't say enough good things about the staff at Outfitters Kauai. We had a blast with the staff during our kayaking, hiking, swimming, rope-swinging, truck riding. Everyone, from Rachel to Lauren to Nate were all very pleasant, humorous and overall good people. This excursion is absolutely recommended for anyone and everyone looking for an overall great time. This is absolutely the first thing that we will be looking forward to on our next visit to Kauai.

We took this tour on our honeymoon in Kauai, and we are so glad that we did. Not only it was fun but also very historical and educational. What a great way to learn and view the island that you do not see in a guidebook! We will come back with our kids (hopefully) in the future! Thank you for everything!

We REALLY enjoyed our bus driver/tour guide, Ben. He was the best. He was very knowledgeable, funnv and enjoyable.
The whole day was wonderful, except for one thing......the 3 hour wait we had to get back to Kuaui.
That was VERY annoying because there is absolutely nothing at the airport to do for 3 hours. There are no stores to even buy anything at, so unless there was an earlier flight that you could get people on, I would not recommend the package to anyone for that reason alone.
When people are on vacation they don't want 3 hours of their vacation wasted waiting at an airport. You should really try to arrange the tour so everyone is back at the airport in time for the 5:45 pm flight back to Kuaui.

This was a really fun experience! Jonathan was our tour guide and since we were the only ones booked that afternoon, it was a really private tour. We snorkeled at Hideaways Beach, which was breathless. The kayaking back was a little tough because we were tired from the snorkeling but we finally made it. I would definitely do it again!

This tour is by far the best way to see the Island. I recommend doing it the first day your on Kaui because the pilots tell you were to go and what to see. We had the owner as the pilot and he gave us terrific ideas and views of the Island. Will do this tour again.

We flew with Bruce a few years ago and had a wonderful flight. I was somewhat apprehensive since I have issuses with panic attacks, he was so kind and reassuring that it made the flight very comfortable. Kaui is such a beautiful island you get a different perspective from the air. We enjoyed Bruce's vast knowledge of Kauai from the air. He even let my husband do a little bit of the flying since he had his private piolts license. We highly recommend

We had a great time. It was actually 2nd time trying to learn surfing. We tried from my friend, but we decided to take a lesson from pros. The instructor guy was very helpful, and taught us how to read the wave and the current, some safety tips you should know, etc. After all, surfing can be dangerous, so we're glad that we took a lesson. Thanks.

The trip was nice. We had an excellent bus tour guide and on The US MO. We would have liked to have the Bowfin and Air museum included in the price. We spent too much time waiting in lines and wandering around the city, and would ahve preferred seeing more in Pearl Harbor. Overall we did enjoy ourselves.

The bus took us all over the island and we got to see everything up close. I was thankful I did not have to do any driving and could enjoy the scenery. Everything was so beautiful. I came away thinking Kauai was my favorite island. It was worth every penny I paid and I think the best of all the circle island tours. I took one Circle Island Tour on each island and Kauai was the best. The guide was very informative and I learned things about Kauai that I otherwise would not have known being out on my own. The only thing I would suggest is to plan on being really tired the next day, and just to relax the next day because you do and see so much that it tires you out.

I had a great time on this tour. We only stayed for two days so it was good that we did this tour on our first day to learn about the island. We just went back to the sights and beyond on the next day to explore more on our own. Kauai is such an beautiful, mellow, country island. People were very nice, and you can still feel that old Hawaiian way of living. I loved the Fern Grotto. The little dancing and singing on the boat was fun.
Mahalo!

Kevin was a fantastic teacher! Having never even snorkled before, it didn't take long to get comfortable in the water. Was so exhilerated after, am planning on getting scuba certified for my next trip. Smoothly run & very well explained. Loved the video and am recommending this activity to everyone.
Thanks a lot Kevin, will see you next year. Mahalo!!

The trip was listed as a short, rugged walk, but is handicap accessible. I would have liked this information ahead of time, as walking on concrete is very painful for me, and I would have taken my scooter if I had known there was a paved walk way. I would like to go again sometime, when the ferns have recovered from the damage of the 2006 Hurricane. Cruise was informative, entertaining and fun!

We enjoyed our experience at the luau. The food was very good and they were very experienced at moving a big crowd through efficiently. It was great having the Hawaiian music during dinner. The show was pretty good. We did enjoy it, but it doesn't quite compare to the show at the Polynesian Cultural Center on Oahu, which is the best. This one was good, and it tried to have different islands represented, but the numbers were all very similar to each other. Loved the fire and volcano and the dragon. It was an enjoyable evening for our family.

Our family enjoyed this short boat ride to the Fern Grotto. The Grotto itself has changed since our last trip to Kaua'i. Sit on the left side of the boat while it is at the dock (which will then be the right side going up the river). That way you can see most of the sights the guide points out on the way to the Fern Grotto. It was informative, especially for first timers. Next trip, we will probably kayak up to the Grotto.

Smith's Luau was a wonderful experience for us. I brought my daughter and 3 grandsons ages 9, 10, and 12, and we all enjoyed it. The grounds are perfect, the staff is very professional, and the show was excellent. The food was great, it was the best pig I have ever eaten. When I go back to Kauai, I will definately go back for another of the Smiths' Family Luau. Thanks for having us and sharing your beautiful grounds with us.

The Smith Luau was an overall extraordinary experience and great value. The evening begins with a tram or walking tour of Smith's Tropical Paradise. The grounds include a wide variety of birds and fish, and labelled foliage. The luau was in a covered open-air pavillion, and preceded by giving thanks for the food and asking God's blessings. The luau was served buffet style, including fish, pork, chicken and beef dishes, and a wide variety of vegetables and desserts. While eating, we were serenaded by a live band, playing traditional Hawaiian music. Following the luau, we moved to a covered open-air amphitheater for a live show, including segments depicting the many cultures of the Hawaiian islands. The staff was genuinely courteous and kind. Overall, this was a thoroughly enjoyable experience, and is highly recommended.
