This was my second trip and I loved it as much the second time as I did the first. I will highly recommend it to anyone who is coming to Kauai.

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!

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this event - it wasn't only a Luau, but you learned of the culture, flora, and food. The food was OUTSTANDING! The hosts gave a thorough description of the foods, and how to eat them. The pig was very juicy, and salted to perfection. And even though the Poi was bland (as it should be), it had a distinctive and very interesting taste that perked our senses. The free mai-tais didn't hurt either! : )
The show ran a bit longer than we expected, but after a few drinks, it may have just seemed longer. The quality of dance, special effects, and entertainment was high, and the fire dude rocked the house (one of the best we've seen).
Mahalo Smith's!

Very unique experience - and a great time! I would not recommend this to people older than 75 as there are a few areas where you can potentially fall out of your tube. Its a blast though - we had a lot of fun!!

Spectacular setting! I've been to many luaus before and this one has the best scenery. Well organized and excellent food! I was slightly disappointed in the show as it was lower energy than others I've attended. I didn't like the way they captured ALL the cultures (Chinese, Japanese, Phillipines) as I felt it brought the energy of the entire show down and removed itself from being "Hawaiian". Over all though - we had a great time.

We have been to many luaus on all the islands and this is one of the best. The food was plentiful and very enjoyable. The host and his father 2nd and 3rd generation we very informative and available to every one. They worked the tables and made sure everyone felt at home.
The entertainment during dinner was continuious. We even had a couple get engaged after the hula class. Very sweet.The bar service was fast and the special drinks well prepared.
The entertainment was very professional and varied dances form the different pacific islands. The special effects were just great.
Would we go back. In a heart beat.

Great helicopter tour for 1st timers to Kauai... we did this on the 1st day and got a great overview of the island. The pilot was very knowledgable and the rest of the staff friendly and helpful. They definitely had the routine at the store down and getting people to the helicopter on time. Better than expected :D

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.

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.

カウアイ島を訪れるなら絶対ナパリコーストには行ってみたかったので、今回ツアーに参加しました。
海からの眺めは本当に最高でした。大きくあいた穴がトンネルのように続いていたり、トンネルの天井部分に穴が開いていてそこに滝が流れ落ちていたりなどと、面白いポイントがたくさんあり、間近で見れて良かったです。
シュノーケリングも楽しめランチも美味しかったです。大満足のツアーです!

海の上から見上げるナパリコーストの洞窟や奇岩などは迫力満点で、絶景を堪能できました。美しい景観だけでなく、途中でイルカやクジラに遭遇したり、ウミガメや熱帯魚を間近に見るシュノーケリングが楽しめたり、とても内容の濃いツアーでした。またいつか参加してみたいです。

以前、ナパリコーストのトレッキングツアーに参加したことはあったのですが、どうしても海からの眺めも見てみたいということでツアー参加を決めました。
天候も良くクルージングは気分最高でした。真っ青な海で泳ぐイルカの群れを見たり、心地よい風を感じながら眺める壮大な景色に感動しました。岸壁や渓谷の迫力ある光景は今でも目に焼きついています。
シュノーケリングでウミガメを見るのを楽しみにしていたのですが、遭遇できなかったのは残念でした。でも、カラフルな魚たちが泳ぐ海の中の世界はきれいでした!

カウアイ島といえばやっぱりナパリコースト!大自然の造形美が見たくてこのツアーに参加しました。
当日は天気も良く空は真っ青で、海はとってもきれいでした。ナパリの何百年もかけて造られた大自然は想像以上の美しさで、はっと息を呑むような壮大さでした。
シュノーケリングは、海の透明度バツグンで色鮮やかな魚たちや、運よく海ガメも見ることができとても楽しめました。
今回のクルージングでは素晴らしい景色を堪能できましたが、ただ船に乗る時間が長いので、船酔いをする人は酔い止め薬を予め飲んでたほうが良いと思います。
It was a pleasure to have you aboard, and we are so happy to know how much you enjoyed it! Until we meet again... Mahalo and Aloha

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 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.
