Kauai Backcountry Adventures Mountain Tubing Tour with Lunch

Unique, fun and exciting adventure

Had a great time on this tubing trip with my 5 year old. Thought it would be more of a kids thing but it was really fun for the adults too. Beautiful scenery on the drive up and lots of interesting history. Tubing was exciting and tunnels were fun.

Kauai Backcountry Adventures Mountain Tubing Tour with Lunch

I personally think it's a bit overrated

Reviewed by: Chuang

The tour guide (a Hawaiian teenage girl, very energetic) is super awesome and nice, the safety tour guides also works super hard. It's the tour itself that I gave this rating. The tube would keep spinning and spinning which made me dizzy and created minor headache. I really hope that there is a way to force the tube to alway look forward. Some sort of a "1-person" short floaty canoe or kayak would have made this tour much more enjoyable. Thanks!

relaxing but watch out for spinning

Ultimate Kauai Private Island Tour with Expert Guide

Wonderful tour

Reviewed by: Family of 4

Susan was fabulous. She was so knowledgeable about the island and great with our kids (ages 5 and 7). She told us history of the island and suggestions on things to do during our stay. When our kids were getting tired and a bit cranky, she went out and got them water and popsicles. This tour was the highlight of our trip!

Reviewed by: LarryJ

Great crew. They did underestimate the difficulty of the kayaking in the ocean to the snorkeling beach. Very tough for some in my group. Otherwise great day. Food OK.

Reply from activity provider

Aloha Larry,

We try to be candid in all our tours about the intrinsic effort and matching folks to the right tour.

Yesterday, clients on the same tour, felt while they did not need a guide to get to the snorkeling beach off Hideaways, that having the guide(s) made for a richer experience.

That said your review helps others choose the correct tour.

In spite the toughness…thanks for giving us 4 stars.

A hui hou,

Smith's Kauai Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto with Live Entertainment

Amazing experience!

Reviewed by: Matt Olsen

This is our second time going to the Fern Grotto and it was just as beautiful and amazing as the first time we went 9 years ago. We booked online and it was very easy. We got to the check in site and they handed us a ticket with our name already on it and asked us to turn it in when we boarded. Right on time, they asked us to head down to the dock and board our river boat. Everyone that we encountered had a big smile and a kind word for us. They gave us a brief safety talk and we were off! Our guide going out there was very knowledgeable and talked to us about the history of the island. When we reached the Fern Grotto, they sang for us some beautiful songs and then we hiked a little way up to the grotto. We took lots of pictures and then made our way back! We were treated to some songs and beautiful hula dancing on the way back. The young lady on the microphone was so much fun! She was a jokester, and she had a beautiful singing voice. The ladies doing the hula dancing were just so beautiful to watch and you can tell they love what they do. Overall, it was a lot of fun and I highly recommend. I do recommend booking online as it will save you some time when you get there. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

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

Reply from activity provider

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.

A hui hou,

Micco

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

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.

Reply from activity provider

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.

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!
