We arrived at Kauai Backcountry Adventures and were quickly greeted by a staff member. The set up was easy to follow, the instructions were clear and the process was very organized. The staff was laid back, informative and very friendly. Jamie and BJ made our experience great. They were knowledgable and eager to make sure we were having a great time (and "Bundy" is one hell of a driver). We hope to return and would recommend their company to anyone.

This was my first time on an ATV and I had a pretty good time. Usually I am not one for getting dirty and riding on an ATV but I didn't mind.
The guide was very knowledgeable and showed us how to maneuver the ATV's well. There were parts of the tour that were difficult and wouldn't recommend it for kids.

This was by far the best activity we did on the island, and we did a lot of stuff! The EcoStar helicopter made it very quiet and smooth. No bumps or drops, so no nausea from my wife! The van ride to the copter was a rougher ride than the flight! Excellent all around!

We had a great time tubing through the sugar plantation and the staff were really fun. I think this is a bit expensive for what you get, but it was definitely something I would recommend.

The Smith Family employees and family members were all VERY friendly and hospitable. The food was very average, but the show was unique to other luau shows I have seen in the past. The grounds were very beautiful and I loved how they took us on the tram to show us around and then let us wonder at our leisure to get a closer look at everything.

The Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto was enjoyable. I recommend taking the last cruise and then going to the Smith Luau.

Not really what i had expected. I found it to be rather boring. Would have really liked to see more of the Men dances than there was. Didn't really care for all the other country style dances was really looking for more of a Hawaiian, Polnysian style luau. The fire dance was cool. Think kids would find this show rather boring. The plantation was really really pretty i would recommend that you tour that.

I had such a great time on the Safari tour. I had Alex, Maggie and Adrienne as my tour guides and they were FANTASTIC! Our group laughed so much and I felt really safe having Alex and Adrienne there to explain what we were supposed to do during the zipline and jumping off Kipu falls. I had a blast and was totally pumped up after I left for the rest of the day. I would recommend this tour to everyone who's going to Kauai!
Thanks so much for the fabulous adventure!

This tour was great! Our snorkel guide Paul was very knowledgable about the island and all the creatures in the ocean. He was able to look around underwater and find things to show us that he thought we would enjoy. Would absolutely recommend as a "must go to" activity.

This is a great tour if you want to see the island and learn about the culture. This was our first trip to Kauai, so we took the all day tour (11 hours from the time we were picked up.) Very long day but it was EXCELLENT and well worth it.

I was disappointed to learn that 80% of ride would be through tunnels - I pictured we'd have some tunnels but mostly be having a nice trip through Kauai scenery. It was still lots of fun though!!
Though the guide said there was over 50 miles of irrigation ditches, but that the tour is only through 2 1/2 miles, so it's not a very long trip. There's a nature walk before hand and picnic lunch after. But for the money, I'd rather skip both those and do the irrigation ride twice, or at least have a much, much longer ride.
I was still pretty fun and I would definitely recommend this to families but it's definitely way expensive for what you get. The water is freezing cold, so be prepared.

The mountain tubing adventure is appropriately named. You find yourself navigating old irrigation channels that are now used for water reclamation. We had a group of thirteen including young teens through middle aged adults. Everyone had a great time. It is one of those experiences that is different, fun and one where you can control the pace. The staff is very friendly and fun loving. It makes for a very nice experience. I would recommend it particularly for groups.

We could not pass up the opportunity to tell you Thank You for this Great experience! The group of people who put on this Luau need a giant pat on the back or better yet a big hug. They really put on a great show and it is clear they have fun doing it. Please tell them Thank you. By the way... we really adored the little pregnant hula girl. Aloha.

We've been snorkeling before, but none were as personalized as the one we had on this trip. Our guides, Paul and Jack, were very light-hearted, funny, but extremely careful when it came to the safety of our snorkelers. You could tell they truly enjoyed being our guides, and they lived and breathed what Kauai offered. The trip was very special and personal to my wife and me, because our guides brought us to places, and pointed out creatures we would never have seen or held by ourselves. And although their jobs were to entertain and teach us about snorkeling, they were equally committed to the well-being of the sea life (e.g., the sea turtles), giving clear directions and explanations for how we were to be responsible for our actions around them.
Snacks and tips on other great sites to see in Kauai followed the swim. Thanks for the fun, Paul and Jack!
