As someone who had never been to Kauai before, I booked this tour as a way for my boyfriend and I to get acclimated to the island. We were so lucky to have Kana e, a wonderful native tour guide, as our driver and tour guide. She made the entire day so much fun, and extremely interesting. We both loved her stories of the island, of her family, and her enthusiasm. I greatly recommend this tour, especially if you can have a native guide as good as Kana e!!

We were told to be at the airport by 6 am. Flight left. 2 hours later. No representative ever met us at the airport in Lihue or Oahu. Did not receive any instructions as to where we had to go once we landed in Honolulu. Our flight back to Lihue was supposed to arrive at 7 pm. We were put on a later flight so didn't arrive in Lihue till 9:30 pm. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and pleasant. The above made for a longer day than expected. Felt we should have been told this information .

Wonderful family adventure. Tour guide on the bus was friendly and entertaining, and the guides were knowledgeable and courteous (they took great care of our five- and eight-year-old children in the tubes on the water so they felt safe and comfortable while my wife and older children could enjoy the adventure). Highly recommended. Kudos to the operators of this business.

This hike was wonderful! The waterfalls were so great! It was amazing to walk through all the different vegetation and see the gorgeous flowers and water falls. We had 2 guides that knew so much about the area and were very fun to hike with! We had a couple of asthmatics that did the hike as well so it is a great hike for everyone!

What a great Luau! It has the down home feel of family since it’s all the Smith Family clan putting it on. It is located on a beautiful site by the Wailua River with beautiful gardens and birds to walk amongst. The food was fabulous and more than you could ever eat. An open bar. Who does that?! The dinner entertainment was great and then the show!! Best show around. Beautiful theatre and stage and not just any old Hawaiian dances but something from every culture that created the Islands and all with a story to tell. Just can’t say enough! They even walk you out to the parking lot to say Aloha❤️ LOVED IT❤️❤️

the folks involved were friendly, informative and fun.
the scenery was lovely and the grotto very unique
the music on the way back and the dancing was great and even got to practice ourselves
the weather could have been better but no control over that

Great time. Good solid adventure and not too much exertion for relatively fit mid-40s husband and wife. Water was cold in February but probably feels nice in summer. Josh was a great guide- lots of interesting history and knowledge along the way. Be sure to hike in the puddles, as odd as that sounds. It has the best footing and you are going to get muddy and wet anyway.

My husband and I came to Kauai for my 50th birthday. This show was truly the highlight of our entire trip. It was worth every dime. This show provides a true Hawaiian experience from the food, the show, tour of the property, and the fern grotto river tour.

If you are looking for some great Napali Coast views from the water, look no further. This tour was the complete package with a good amount of time for snorkeling, marine life watching (dolphins, whales, sea lions), and some good ole laid back sailing. You will start in Port Allen and travel north west up the famed Napali coast. With food and refreshments along the way this is a great afternoon of sailing and taking in the sights. The water can get a little choppy out there so if you are prone to sea sickness I would recommend taking something a few hours before departure. If not it is nothing a couple of beers won't fix! I took hundreds of photos and am having even a tough time deleting the duplicates! If you have the time one day in Kauai, I would highly reccomend this tour.
Thank you so much for joining us and for sharing your great review! Mahalo and Aloha

結婚40年を記念して長年の夢であったシダの洞窟を含むツアーに参加しました。ホテルに大型のバスでお迎え。すでに車内には外国のカップルが数組。日本人は私たちだけでした。運転手兼ガイドは明るい小柄な女性。英語はわかりませんがいつも話しながら、時には歌いながら楽しい雰囲気で進みます。トイレ休憩で土産物屋に立ち寄ったり、農園のコーヒー直売店にも寄ったりと全体がゆったりとしたスケジュール。車内は羽織るものをお勧めします。

I do this event annually in Kaua'i.. Great , safe family fun.
Water, at its deepest, is 3 feet. The staff is wonderful. The best experience, in my opinion, is tubing in paradise on a rainy day! Oh. My. God! The BEST experience EVER !. Don't pass up this experience. ........ place this on your " must do "
list. Young children ( > =6, life jackets provided) and older adults ( > 60, if you can stand alone and walk 20 yards unassisted ) friendly! Hope to see you there!
Bring aqua socks or enclosed water shoes or they will be provide for a fee. Go Pro also available to be rented.

We took the sunset cruise with Lui and Jason and it was awesome. They both were super informative and friendly, the history was very cool, and the drinks were fantastic! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to do a laid back sunset cruise on Kauai.

My son is an enormous military buff. We were spending the holidays in Kauai and decided to make a day trip to Pearl Harbor. So worth it. Very enjoyable and educational. Really can’t say enough.

We enjoyed the Waimea Canyon Tour. The coach driver was friendly, funny, and informative.
The Wailua River Cruise was disappointing and boring. The driver of the boat had no enthusiasm in his voice and the visuals of the river were unimpressive. Since you can no longer enter the Fern Grotto cave, this stop is no longer amazing as it used to be.

The cruise was very relaxing and had beautiful scenery. The captain Louie and first mate/ bartender Jason were awesome. So friendly and knowledgeable. During the cruise Louie told us a lot of history. Jason made great drinks and had good conversation about Kauai. We cruised through the bay and down the river. The boat was very clean and well maintained. The only negative is that I would have liked to go down the coastline more but that’s always weather and wave depending. I would do this cruise again.

ATV experience was a first for me ,I was surprised at how comfortable I was. I thought it would be too bumpy but happy it wasn't. We had a rainy time in Kauai so we dressed for a muddy ride. So much fun was had by all. Lunch was also very good. I would suggest wearing a long sleeve shirt and the scarf or bandana around the face. Such a pretty and very informative ride the tour was very interesting. Thanks for the adventure.

I thought I already submitted my review but I’ll do it again. Louis our Captain was very fun and knowledgeable. Jason was fun and made amazing drinks. The views were breathtaking. Something different and unique to do that was affordable on the island. I have been to the island many times but have never seen the river like this. Fun movie sites and historic landmarks. Would do it again for sure!!

at the beginning of this trip we thought the doors off helicopter ride would be the best part of this trip, but after this boat ride I’m not so sure. We couldn’t have been happier with the drinks and the comedians driving the boat. Great time. Will do again!!!

There were four of us that did this cruise together. It was very relaxing and beautiful scenery the Caption Louie and first mate / bartender Jason were very personable and knowledgeable. They had a good variety of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks that were served freely during the whole cruise. I would recommend this cruise however keep in mind they only go down the river and in the bay. They do not go along the coastline. If you are looking for smooth and relaxing river boat ride then you would enjoy this cruise.

We had a group of 4 people and it was a small group on board. The boat is clean and beautiful. Louis our Captain,was very knowledgeable about the history and pointed out very cool sites along the way down the river.
Jason,his crew member was very friendly and made excellent cocktails!! Both guys made our trip memorable and the beauty of Kauai was amazing. The instructions on the description through this website were a little confusing We thought we had a shore entry. They actually drive you from the Check in spot to the port. Just a few minutes away. No big deal. But a little confusing. Would definitely recommend.

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.

Aloha Dan,
Glad you enjoyed your Wailua River Secret/Sacred Falls tour with your guide Josh. Thanks for your wise council on the trail. I think more folks have gotten injured trying to avoid puddles instead of just plowing through them and resigning themselves to wet shoes and mud.
Your guide, as all our excellent guides at Kayak Kaua'i, bring a real love to what they do and there to keep you informed, entertained and safe.
Stay paddling and hiking. Until our paths cross.
A hui hou,
Micco
Head Guide
