In spite of the downpour of rain the day of our kayak adventure (5/28), it was fun and we all had quite a workout. Our guide, Harley, was excellent in every way. Very informative, patient, skilled, and accommodating! It would have been nice if you had ordered more sunshine but then we would have been sunburned; this way, we were just wet!
Thanks again.

We had never been ziplining before but your staff made us feel very safe. Jaime was wonderful. She was so funny and knowledgeable at the same time. We had a great time and we would definately do this again if we every came back to Hawaii. We would recommend this to everyone.

My wife an I are both empty nesters (read that to mean at or near 50.) We've both been travelers and everywhere we go, we schedule events that expose us to the area we are visiting and the people and history of the area.
This event was so much fun and at no time did we feel anything be valued as being in the care and guidance of Dida and Danny.
You will meet people from all corners of the world. Eat a good low fat breakfast the morning of this event. Water is provided, and take advantage of it.
Our personal thanks to this outfitter for giving us a memory of our visit to Kauai we will never forget.

I'm from Louisiana where we have plently of places to go tubing. This is a one of a kind excursion!!! I've gone scuba diving, snorkeling with stingrays, etc and nothing compared to this.. The tour guides were very nice and fun to be around.. This is a perfect trip for families as well as children.. I would definately do this again!!

I chose Smith's Tropical Luau because I had read some previous reviews and one reviewer stated they had been to a different luau every night and Smith's was the best. I was a passenger on the NCL Pride of America and the reviews for that luau were not good and I hate nasty food. So I chose Smith's for myself and my party and let me tell you, we were not dissapointed. First of all and probably the best thing was it was not as expensive as the other luau, next the food was great everything was very good (except the purple sweet potato, it was too dry and tasteless). The staff was great, they kept coming around asking if everything was okay. Also, there was a large crowd there, maybe 500 people maybe more, but everything ran smooth and efficiently. When we arrived we were escorted to a tram that took us for a narrated tour of the plantation and it was beautiful. Then we went into the large lanai to be seated for eating. Some went to watch the roasted pig taken out of the place whe

Whether you are visiting Kauai for the first time or if you are a seasoned traveler, you will definitely want to check out Kauai Air Tour - Air Ventures Hawaii. There is no better value for your money.
The staff at Air Ventures was so helpful and courteous. Our pilot, Joel made landing in a small aircraft feeling like you were on a huge jet. It was the best landing I have ever experienced; I tried to convenience him to travel back and pilot our plane to San Diego. His pilot skills were superior; he could easily become a commercial pilot.
Air Ventures -- you offered me a once in a lifetime opportunity. I give you the highest form of recognition. Thank you for all that you have done. You can rest assured if I ever make it back to your Hawaii you will be the first business I call to book my air excursion.

I felt the grounds were lacking a bit. Kauai is much more beautiful than this tropical paradise. Been to another luau few years back and much better than this. The dancers were fabulous but felt some of the show lacked authenticity, sorta felt like everyone else was tired of it all.

I was blessed to go on the Zipline Trek yesterday morning, and had such an amazing experience. The ziplines and course were incredible, but what truly made the tour were the guides, Trevor and Nick. From the minute we got our backpacks and climbed into the van, their energy, enthusiasm and candor put everyone at ease immediately...truly setting the tone for a remarkable day.
Between Trevor's humor and charm, and Nick's great historical knowledge and easy going attitude, it was a dynamic duo that I for one was so grateful to have lead me. I am an avid traveler, and have been on many tours...and if anyone knows, it would be me, that oftentimes it is the guides that can make or break the entire "feel" of the experience. Hands down, 100%, I can confidently say that Trevor and Nick MADE this experience.
And by the end of the day, I do believe we were all a bit enraptured with Trevor especially...even down to the 15 year old swooning in the back...charmer, witty, and just wonderful. G

Our first time to Kauai and we decided to try the Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto and we absolutely loved it! it was kinda slow but very relaxing, and such beauty surrounding you how could you not like it..
I know its got some bad reviews and I cant understand why, if you appreciate the beauty of Kauai then you will love this short and sweet experience and you can get some really great pictures too.

My Mom, Sister and I went tubing, thinking that this would be a great time to catch some sun...we were very disappointed that the day was rainy. We went to the tubing anyway, and were we ever greatful that we did.
The experience that we had was very memorable...we bought a camera there and took pictures, we had so much fun!!
The staff was funny, experienced and knowledgeable. They made the drive up and back go so quickly, and the tubing, a once in a lifetime memory.
We are all "non-swimmers" so being in the water we were comfortable, being that it was shallow, and that they catered to making sure you got in and were ok all along.
The age span between Mother (57) and Daughter (29), made no difference, we all had just as much fun as the others.
Thank you for providing such a fun experience for our family!!

Kipu Zipline Safari was a blast!! The tour is packed with 7 hours of fun activities. Although little pricey, but there is no other tour package on the island that can rival the Kipu Safari in terms of excitement. The tour guides are very knowledgeable about the island and extremely friendly. They're also very careful in handling our food. However, for those of you whose ideas of fun includes relaxing and sunbathing at the beach, this trip is not for you. But, if you're interested in little adventures and learnings and don't mind getting wet and muddy, this trip is not be missed.

This was really a great Luau, in our group there were some that had seen some and others that haven't seen them at all, and we all agreed that this was the best time, even though it rained!!
Such friendly, happy people, and fun for all age groups (30-63). We brought our group pic home and hung it up on the wall, a truly good time!
Thank you Smith's Tropical Paridise Luau!! We will be back some time soon, we all hope.
