What are people saying about Kauai

Kauai: NaPali Boat Tour on the Amelia K

Victoria_P, Aug 2026

Great tour, don't miss it!

A-Mazing! The crew was incredible and the views were world class. Snorkeling left a little to be desired, I got the impression the site we stopped at was heavily traveled so the diversity of fish was a but sub par. You can see way more species and diversity off Lawai beach, but I would book this tour again in a hot minute. Highly recommend!

Kauai: Luau Ka Hikina Admission with Dinner and Lei Greeting

Dolores_d, Aug 2026

By far, the best luau of all the luaus we’ve been to!

We’ve been to about four luaus in Oahu, Maui and now Kauai. This luau, by far is the best of all. We were impressed with the food variety and quality, all the performers, emcee and staff. A covered patio with ocean view. Parking is included. We highly recommend this luau at the Sheraton Coconut Grove.

Kauai: Luxury Na Pali Snorkel Experience aboard Lady Kailani

Breathtaking Nā Pali Coast Tour — Hearing the Whales Sing Was Unforgettable!

I know this review is a little late, but I absolutely wanted to recommend this tour to anyone visiting Kauai! The views of the Nā Pali Coast were absolutely spectacular—truly some of the most breathtaking scenery we’ve ever seen. The snorkeling was fun, but my absolute favorite part was something I will never forget. Because of the time of year we went, we could actually hear the whales singing underwater while we were snorkeling! It was such an incredible, almost surreal experience. Being surrounded by the beauty of the Nā Pali Coast while listening to whales sing beneath the water was truly magical and something I’ll remember forever. Highly recommend this tour!

Kauai: Secret Falls Kayak and Hike

Kimberly_K, Aug 2026

Wonderful adventure for our anniversary!

Our guide Kai was a very warm friendly and knowledgeable native Hawaiian. He made the journey so fun and was very careful to make sure that everyone was safe. This is a local family owned business that put their hearts into their work. Highly recommend them for this amazing adventure. The hike is doable for non-athletic people but come prepared to get dirty and have hiking sandals that can drain easily.

Kauai: Luau Kalamaku with Buffet Dinner and Show

MONICA_M, Aug 2026

Must do luau

Wonderful experience. Did the train ride prior to the luau it was really worth the time we learned about the history of the plantation and different things about the island. The train stops so you can feed wild boar and horses, and a donkey which was a highlight for the kids. Highly recommend this luau and the entire experience. The show was beautiful. The food was delicious. They’re extremely organized. They have vendors on property prior to the luau that you can visit that are artisans that have beautiful handmade goods.

Kauai Deluxe Waterfall Safari: Helicopter Tour

HEATHER_K, Aug 2026

Unforgettable views from the sky of the Garden Isle

Our helicopter tour over Kauai with our pilot Ross of Safari Helicopter Tours was unforgettable! We loved seeing the island’s incredible waterfalls, the Garden of the Gods, and the spectacular coastline from such a unique perspective. The views were breathtaking, and the entire experience was a special memory for our family. We highly recommend it!

Koloa Zipline in Kauai

Shawn_R, Aug 2026

Family ziplining adventure

We had an amazing time ziplining! Jadin and Grace were our guides, they were knowledgeable, friendly and made the experience so much fun. Without question it will be a highlight of our trip to Kauai, something we will all always remember. We all got to fly on the zip lines and even got a great picture with a dinosaur. A truly fantastic time and an amazing memory for all of us. Plus we just mentioned what we were doing the rest of the day and they were quick to offer suggestions on places to stop at to make our day even better. Cannot recommend the adventure and Jadin and Grace enough! 5 stars for sure!

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.

Private Kauaʻi Helicopter Experience: Doors-Off ALL WINDOW SEATS

Tricia_P, Jul 2026

Hands down. YES, book a private doors off experience with Mauna Loa Helicopters.

For my husband’s birthday on 7/24 we decided to fly with Mauna Loa Helicopter Tours doors off adventure over Kauai. While my husband had flown before, it was my first time. I was quite nervous, but more from excitement. I was the one who chose doors off. We checked in at the NEW LOCATION at 3748 Ahukini Rd. Lihue, HI 96766. Kalei welcomed us and gave us our time to come back to get ready for our flight. She then directed us to a lounge with restrooms across the street. Preflight preparation with Kalei. First, we watched a short safety video. Next, we strapped a flotation device around our waists. Kalei had us remove our phones from their cases to properly secure them in a holder with a wrist strap. Then we waited on the front bench for our pilot. Within moments, our pilot WALT, walked over and greeted us with a big smile and a hearty handshake. After chatting with Walt, all my fears vanished. He was happy, friendly, and confident. He truly was a cool guy that you do not mind hanging out with for an hour in helicopter. He shared lots of interesting facts about the island and we had a lot of fun laughs. Walt as a pilot was gentle but effective with necessary safety information. His instructions were clear and easy to follow. Getting in and secure was remarkably easy. The flight itself was smooth. We did have some light rainfall during the flight which made for a spectacular rainbow. The entire experience was magical. If you want to know what we saw on the tour, you will need to book the tour and find out. You will not be disappointed. If you end up with Walt as your pilot, you are in great hands. Have fun! Mahalo nui loa Walt, Kalei, & Mauna Loa Helicopter Tours. We have amazing memories, and photos that will last a lifetime. PS: Wear the heavy sweatshirt you brought. With the doors off you WILL need it.

Wailua Nui Luau at Kauai Hilton Garden Inn

Breath taking! From the...

Breath taking! From the thrill of being in the (doors off) helicopter to the stunning views of the canyons, waterfalls, shoreline, and crater the entire experience was (is) exceptional. Our pilot (Reed) was FABULOUS! Knowledgeable, calming (doors off - is an experience!), kind, and above all a superior pilot. Viator is a great outfit. We highly recommend them.
