What are people saying about Kauai

Kauai: Luau Kalamaku with Buffet Dinner and Show

Amanda_F, Aug 2026

MORE than I was expecting

I went to a Luau on the main island at 16, and it was awesome but this was completely different. I was NOT expecting that. It’s a whole production, the talent of the people who are in this show is astonishing!! The way the blend the history, with authentic heritage and theater is really amazing. At first we were really just looking for something more mellow and we wanted to get as authentic experience as possible, but this place gives you what you may for. Excellent food, free drinks, and and AMAZING show.

Kauai: NaPali Boat Tour on the Amelia K

Rochelle_M, Aug 2026

This is a must experience!

This was a truly amazing experience for our family. Our kids are 5, 7, and 15 and all had an amazing time. The crew was super friendly and very knowledgeable about the island and the sites they showed us. When it was time to stop and jump in the water, they encouraged everyone to either jump in and swim or snorkel. The captain was up on the roof of the boat helping anyone who wanted to jump from the roof into the water. My kids were bummed it had to end and wanted to go back tomorrow. Amazing! Thank you for a memorable experience Nikki, Jaz, and Captain Mike!!

Kauai: Luxury Na Pali Snorkel Experience aboard Lady Kailani

Maddie_B, Aug 2026

10/10 worth the motion sickness and not great snorkeling

We had a fantastic time with Captain Kauai and crew Jake, Jasmine, and Julian. Captain Kauai was exceptionally friendly, funny, and informative. They all truly made the experience memorable and enjoyable. The boat was so comfortable, clean and top notch. The service and boat was exceptional and felt luxurious. The views- truly amazing. Words do not do it justice. We also saw dolphins (!!) and sea turtles (!!). A side note, the weather wasn't ideal- very windy, meaning the boat ride got choppy. My wife, who gets very motion sick, got sick torwards the end, but the crew was extremely attentive and helped her feel better. We knew this was a possibility going into the experience and anyone who gets even a little motion sick should come prepared with medicine or reconsider this experience if you get very motion sick (one poor lady was sick from the get go). You're on a boat and relying on Mother Nature, after all. Also, because it was very windy, our snorkeling wasn't great. We had better visibility and saw more fish when we did shore snorkeling on other, less windy days. HOWEVER, even with the motion sickness and the less than ideal snorkeling experience, we still would rate this a 10/10. The captain, crew, the boat, the story telling and history, the service, the beautiful views, being out on the open ocean are memories we will have for a lifetime. Thank you!

Koloa Zipline in Kauai

Wendy_H, July 2026

Fun family time!

My husband, 2 young adult children and I totally enjoyed this outing. Our guides made every effort to learn our names and were always focused on safety. Any nerves I had were quickly resolved as the guides were very reassuring and encouraging! (I was worried about my hands slipping with the rain and they never did!) Three guides managed twelve of us and were personable and attentive. Josiah, Karson and Nakulu were fantastic guides.

Kauai: Luau Ka Hikina Admission with Dinner and Lei Greeting

Kathleen_Y, July 2026

Amazing

We were staying at Kauai Beachboy right next door. This luau was so convenient. There were so many different varieties of food which were all good. Was surprised at all of the entertainment (before dinner and after dinner). Mai Tai drinks were tasty. The dancers and fire dancer were amazing. Would highly recommend.

Kauai: Na Pali Coast Power Catamaran

Elizabeth_F, July 2026

I would mention about the...

I would mention about the chances of seeing dolphins or whales in the afternoon like we did is nil in the summer so, it's better to reserve for the 0700 tour. I chose not to snorkel that day because it was a little chilly and like rush-rush for a 71 yr old woman like me. I like to take my time snorkeling and just enjoying it.

Kauai Private Doors Off Helicopter Tour: Ultimate Waterfalls

Erin_N, July 2026

Absolutely breathtaking...

Absolutely breathtaking views. I was terrified at first (my husband is the one who wanted to do the heli tour) but our pilot helped put me at ease. He warned us when it would get bumpy so there were no scary surprises. He also stayed away from a cliff edge at my request bc I was scared. I am so glad I did it and would recommend that everyone should see Kauai from a helicopter.

Private Kauaʻi Helicopter Experience: Doors-Off ALL WINDOW SEATS

Melinda_D, July 2026

Unforgettable adventure

Our doors-off helicopter tour was one of the absolute highlights of our trip! The views were breathtaking, and there is nothing quite like the euphoric feeling of soaring above the island with nothing between you and the incredible scenery. Megan was a fantastic guide. She shared interesting information about the island throughout the flight and made sure we saw as many of the highlights as possible despite the windy conditions. We especially appreciated that safety was always her top priority. The entire staff was organized, prompt, and genuinely friendly from start to finish. They even gave us the option to reschedule because of the morning fog, which showed they truly cared about giving us the best possible experience. This was an unforgettable adventure, and we would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Kauai. It was an unbelievable experience we'll never forget!

Kauai: Secret Falls Kayak and Hike

Taylor_M, July 2026

Worth Every Step (and Every Muddy Shoe!)

We had an amazing time on the Kauai Secret Falls Kayak & Hike tour! Our guide, Helm, was a substitute guide, and he was absolutely fantastic. 10/10 would recommend him! He kept a fast pace but was incredibly accommodating and patient with everyone in the group, making sure no one felt left behind while still keeping the tour moving. One thing that really stood out was that Helm was thoughtful about making sure everyone on the tour was set up for success. Before we started, he had an honest conversation with an older guest about the physical demands of the tour, and she ultimately decided not to participate. After experiencing the hike ourselves, we really appreciated his professionalism. The trail can be much more challenging than it sounds, especially with the muddy conditions, and it was clear he genuinely wanted everyone to have a safe and enjoyable experience. The kayaking portion takes place on a river, so when we went the water wasn’t very wavy at all. My wife and I are in our late 20s, work out regularly, and found the kayaking very manageable. As long as you don’t tip your kayak, you likely won’t need a dry bag for most of your belongings. Our items stayed dry the entire time. The only thing you may want extra protection for is your phone, just to be safe. The hike, however, is no joke when it comes to mud! Wear shoes you don’t care about because they will very likely end up completely caked in mud by the end. There are also several stream and river crossings, some with fairly fast-moving water, so be prepared to navigate those on your own. The hike itself isn’t extremely strenuous, but it is fairly long, and the muddy conditions make it much more challenging. Almost everyone in our group slipped or fell at least once because the trail was so slick. If you have limited mobility, struggle with uneven terrain, or aren’t comfortable with a longer hike in muddy conditions, this may not be the best excursion for you. A reasonable level of fitness and good balance will help you enjoy the experience much more. The reward at the end is absolutely worth it. The waterfall is stunning, and we were able to swim, which was one of the highlights of the trip. Helm also did an amazing job throughout the tour, pointing out local plants, sharing interesting information about the area, and even calling over a bird so we could watch it up close and feed it a worm he found in the ground. It was such a unique experience and something we’ll definitely remember. A few tips for future visitors: * Eat a filling meal before the tour—it’s a solid workout. * Bring plenty of water to stay hydrated. * Pack a snack to enjoy at the waterfall since no food is provided. * Wear shoes that you don’t mind getting muddy. Overall, this was one of the highlights of our trip to Kauai. Beautiful scenery, a fun adventure, and an outstanding guide. We would absolutely do it again!

Kauai: Nā Pali Coast Zodiac Raft Expedition and Snorkeling

Scott_W, July 2026

Fun experience, fast boat, and great cave exploring

One of our more pricey activities in Hawaii, but worth it for once in a lifetime views of Na Pali. And do not underestimate that this is an adventure tour. It's also a 1-boat family run business with an owner & captain who's been doing it for 10 years, so please support. All three guides on our trip were fun, friendly, and knowledgeable of all the facts & features about the Na Pali Coast and surrounding areas. Along the way we saw a sea turtle, multiple pods of spinner dolphins, and tropical fish while snorkeling. A couple of key points: - The boat ride is fast and bumpy. Me and my older daughter sat at the front of the boat. It is awesome, but trust me that you need to hold onto the ropes 100% of the time up there or...man overboard. - Recommend motion sickness meds even if you are occasionally susceptible. - Go early when the surf is light. It's also much better for the snorkeling part of the trip. - If it's possible for your timing, go at low tide. They will be able to enter more caves overall and go deeper into them. Super cool! -

Wailua Nui Luau at Kauai Hilton Garden Inn

Regine_M, July 2026

The drinks are complementary and the blue Hawaiian and the mai ties are fantastic. I will never forget this and the food again was Divine to see The roaster pig come out of the ground was amazing and extra delicious

Kauai: Na Pali Coast Super Raft Snorkel Adventure

Kara_G, July 2026

Absolutely thrilling way to see the Na Pali Coast!

We had a great tour on the “super raft” with Ryan and Max! Ryan did an excellent job as captain navigating small spaces and rough waters and Max did a great job checking in on everyone! Some things to note: -We did the afternoon tour and didn’t see dolphins and had fairly rough water which seems typical for the afternoon. We were still able to go snorkeling and go into two sea caves (open air one and a lava tube). -Very adrenaline filled! You go so fast but you will fill every slam of the boat on the swells. We sat in about the middle (4 rows back). They explained that sitting in the front you’ll feel it most vs the back the least -The feel is more front and back vs. side to side which was actually better for my motion sickness, but there was someone who was quite sick on the tour but seem to be well attended to. -We had 24 people on our tour (out of 28 seats on our boat). It was a nice size to be able to get individual photos and be able to have some room while snorkeling -Size of the boat was nice to be able to get close to the cliffs, navigate under a waterfall (you will get soaked)! -The super raft is super fun! The last 5 mins to the dock was so exhilarating and an unexpected highlight for both of us!
