Sacred Falls Adventure - Wailua River Kayak, Hike & Waterfall Swim
Fantastic tour-GREAT tour guide!
Reviewed by: Wilson Family
The kayak/hiking/waterfall tour was beautiful. Exactly what we were looking for. Tour guide Harrison was fantastic, very knowledgeable about the local flora/fauna, history. Harrison was cool with letting our 10 year old daughter double kayak with him (she didn’t want to ride with mom and dad!). Lunch sandwiches were very yummy. Tour guide even provided a chilled pineapple after the tour. Harrison made sure we all had transportation after the tour and actually went out of his way to drop us off at the beach across the highway in his own personal vehicle. 100% recommend and would use again!! Also-prepare to get muddy LOL

Liko Kauai Snorkel Cruises - Na Pali Coast Boat Tour & Sea Cave Adventure
Wonderful boat tour with experienced staff
Reviewed by: Daniel
The Napali coast boat tour was definitely worth our time and money. The 5-hour or so tour was filled with constant activities, with experienced captain and the crew. The 20-or-so person boat was comfortable with the front-facing seats and a clean bathroom. It was also newly cleaned and painted. The captain also maneuvered through the caves and shore with experience, providing good opportunities for the pictures. The tour also provided an ample time for a snorkeling towards the end. It was definitely something we would recommend.

Air Kauai Doors-Off Helicopter Flight Adventure
It was an awesome ride-
Reviewed by: Daniel
The helicopter flight was great - one of the best so far.
The staff was professional, and the facilities were new and clean. They gave us the phone harness and the wind breaker (which was essential).
The pilot - Steve - was experienced and guided through the entire flight giving us confidence.
The fly around the volcano was the most amazing of all.
The doors-off does present windy conditions on top of already windy (in addition to the lift from blades). So if you are on the edge seats, be ready to enjoy the ride with strong winds hitting your body and the face.

Smith's Family Garden Luau - Polynesian & Fire Show, Dinner and Open Bar
Best all around
Reviewed by: Kimberly Tan
We have been to several luaus on different islands. The total experience here from start to finish was excellent. The grounds are beautiful with a lot of great photo opportunities and the food was surprisingly delicious! The drinks were tasty and they kept them coming. The show was not only entertaining with traditional components but had a flare of different cultures that really added to the experience! Absolutely a must when choosing which luau to attend. I was worried when the price was significantly more affordable but wow was I ever so happy with my choice. Would definitely recommend!!

Waimea Canyon Sightseeing Tour & Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto with Lunch
Informative tour for first timers in Kauai
Reviewed by: NMP
My family and I had never been to Kauai and I wanted to book this tour as it had some fun things to do. Rosario was a great tour driver, very funny and knowledgeable and safe driver. We went to Opaekaa Falls, then went on a river cruise on the wailua river to the fern grotto (while on the boat we learned how to hula and enjoyed listening to the smith family singing and dancing hula). Then we went to Waimea canyon aka the Grand Canyon of the pacific- pictures do not do it justice. Very breathtaking. Then we went to kauai coffee plantation where we sampled amazing coffee and finally went to see the spouting horn. Overall a great tour with Rosario

Our family was a pretty big group with a mix of some older folks and young children so we chose to do this activity based on all the good reviews and it did not disappoint. We really enjoyed the hula dancing and singing along the ride. The time spent on the boat and walking to was not too long so it was perfect for our group.

Fun river cruise!
Reviewed by: Warren Mitchell
This was a really nice time. The cruise was just long enough to relax, enjoy some Hawaiian culture and see the beautiful Fern Grotto. We never felt rushed and enjoyed everything at our own speed.
We didn’t realize how big the Kauai River is. We had always pictured it as being much, much smaller.
It was also very affordable and definitely worth the time and money.

Sacred Falls Adventure - Wailua River Kayak, Hike & Waterfall Swim
Amazing Kauai Adventure
Reviewed by: Gregg M
If you are down for a decent workout plus an absolutely exceptional experience go on this excursion.
The kayak trip is breathtaking. You are paddling along more or less the Kauai jungle. Once you complete your paddle up it’s off to a beginner level hike.
The hike consists of a couple of water crossings and then being immersed in open cane like fields and then into dense rain forest. Then you begin to get peaks of the waterfall ahead.
The arrival at the waterfall is phenomenal. For us it was our first time to a Hawaiian waterfall and all the hype and what you expect to experience, well, it’s true! Bask in the beauty of the falls, go enjoy the water and feel it crashing about you, you won’t be disappointed. It was a bit chilly at first but once in it’s comfortable.
This is where you get lunch, the sandwiches were great, the cookies, those were delicious!
Once you get to spend the 45 or so minutes at the falls it’s time for the hike back. Take in the scenery, it’s truly breathtaking.
Once back at the kayaks it’s time for the 2 mile paddle back to the marina. Here’s our advice on the paddle, go easy heading out to save your energy for the paddle back. It seems there is always a head wind for the return trip, we’ve heard this from friends who did it in the Spring and we did it late June. Just expect a harder return paddle then out.
Our guide was Steve, so I can’t speak for the other guides. But he was a top notch guide. Shared great info on what we were seeing, the horticultural significance of the area and some Kauai history, you are traveling through where the Hawaiian Kings/Queens lived.
Couple of tips, if you are a mosquito attraction like my wife, bring some bug spray. Absolutely make sure you have a refillable water container, it’s hot and you are working. And, go do this excursion, hands down the most fun thing we’ve done on the islands.
Wow Gregg…you should become a professional review generator. Let me know if you ever need a job.
Seriously thanks for generating an excellent review that give potential clients a real sense of what is involved.
Having Steve as the guide is just icing on the cake on the journey to the falls and yes he is definitely "top notch".
Thanks taking the time.
Stay well and active.
A hui hou,
Micco/Head Guide

Smith's Kauai Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto with Live Entertainment
Wonderful trip
Reviewed by: Sue
After a 44 year absence my husband and I returned to the Wailua River cruise with our oldest granddaughter. Much had changed and much was still the same. The boats are bigger and covered. The music was fun and enjoyable. The cave is less accessible than it was way back then but that was due to natural consequences and the family has worked hard to create a lovely walk and viewing area. We appreciated the wonderful family involved in all aspects of the trip and learned more about the area. It was a wonderful lead into our night at the Smith Family Luau which we also enjoyed and recommend!

Kauai Fresh Flower Greeting Service at Lihue Airport
What a great welcome to Kauai!
Reviewed by: Jacque Rideout
Even though I knew the lei greeting was going to happen-it was still exciting to see our name being held up by Dan with an arm full of orchard lei's. Dan was as excited as we were to be in Kauai, he was super careful in checking to see if our 1-year old grandson wanted his lei (Mom got it) and even graciously took our family picture under the Kauai sign at the airport.
I highly recommend a welcome onto the island with an orchard lei. It made me want to kick my shoes off, grab an umbrella drink and run to the beach as fast as I could!
Thank you Dan and Kauai Fresh Flower Greeting for making this such a great beginning to our visit.

Kauai Waimea Canyon Sightseeing, Kokee Nature Walk & Coffee Tour with Lunch
Good overview of part of the island - wish we had more time in Waimea Canyon
Reviewed by: Alex
We enjoyed the tour overall but wish we had more time and one or two more stops around the Waimea Canyon. The tour takes in a few different spots across Kauai, but the real highlight is the Canyon. So it's a shame to only get a few different opportunities to stop and take photos. The tour picked us up and dropped us off promptly, and our guide Rosario told us a bit about the island and it's history, which we liked. The lunch provided was better than we expected. If we had the chance again, we would drive to the Waimea Canyon itself to explore it independently. If we had to take a tour again, we would consider this one as we felt overall it was good, if not perfect.

Aloha Wilson O'hana,
Harrison does it again, i.e. provides a classic effort, as he does on all his tours.
We are the only tour company on the Wailua that provides pretty good lunches; my favorite is the veggie.
Will share your kind words with Harrison…slowly; don't want it to go to his head.
Thanks for sharing and warning folks about the mud.
