What are people saying about Kauai

Kauai: Na Pali Coast Power Catamaran

Monica_M, Sept 2026

Wonderfully done!

Our boat crew was Corbin and Manu, they were amazing! We would definitely do this again and would remind other folks to put sunscreen on again after you get out of the water if you have nice enough water to snorkel. No complaints at all about this, well communicated, well executed, well done!

Kauai: Secret Falls Kayak and Hike

Anthony_c, Sept 2026

Awesome mixed activity.

Beautiful scenery and knowledgeable guide. Learned a lot about flora and fauna in that particular Hawaiian ecosystem. I would rate it at an upper level moderate activity. Hike was strenuous with muddy/slippery trail sections and rocky river crossings. The kayaking was excellent as the guide taught us to navigate close to shore to cut down on windy conditions. Secret falls were a great reward!

Antoinette_K, Sept 2026

Put it on your must do list

Marcus gave an exceptional narration and answered all of our questions. This is an outstanding way to "see the island". The seating was roomy enough and we always felt at ease. We got to see parts of the island we couldn't see on our own. We will do it again next time. Aloha my friends

60-Minute Doors-Off MD500 KAUAI HELICOPTER ADVENTURE

An Experience of a Lifetime!

From the moment we arrived to check in at the office with the receptionist to the safety instructor who then transported us to the airport, all the staff were wonderful. Then there was our incredible flight with our amazing pilot, Mario, this experience was beyond anything we could have imagined. The entire staff was prompt, professional, friendly, and clearly very good at what they do. They immediately put me at ease and made me feel completely reassured that even an open-door helicopter tour was going to be okay! And then there are the views… it’s honestly hard to find the words to describe what we saw. The vast green mountains, turquoise waters, waterfalls, dramatic canyons, and incredible coastline were absolutely breathtaking, and Mario was the perfect tour guide! Kauai is beautiful from the ground, but seeing it from the air is something we will never forget. I cannot recommend Jack Harter Helicopters enough. This was truly one of the highlights of our trip and an experience of a lifetime. We would do it again in a heartbeat!

Kauai: Luau Kalamaku with Buffet Dinner and Show

Rebekah_C, Aug 2026

Great show!! Fun...

Great show!! Fun atmosphere. I love the story and that it's all natives of Kauai made it all that now memorable. The fires sticks were awesome. The hula dancers were breath taking. So much energy. The food was good. But overall it was the dancers that captured my heart. Thank you for a great show.

Kauai Private Doors Off Helicopter Tour: Ultimate Waterfalls

Paulette_G, Aug 2026

High above the Island

Absolutely amazing flight! We were greated by the marvelous Auntie Mei. What a warm and welcoming lady. Our pilot Sam was great! He provided lots of historical island information and was an excellent pilot. There are ample restrooms. Make sure you bring a light jacket or sweatshirt. It does get cold up there.

Kauai: NaPali Boat Tour on the Amelia K

Hana_K, Aug 2026

Nothing short of phenomenal

If you only do one thing while in Kaua’i it should be this! The views were spectacular from Jurassic park backdrops to Pirates of the Caribbean filming spots, there were a couple of waterfalls and caves. We saw hundreds of dolphins and baby dolphins. We went snorkeling and saw sea turtles. The Captain, Elijah and Jaz were so funny, welcoming and helpful! Not to mention the boat ride was just a fun and educational scenic ride. It’s worth every penny spent.

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.

Private Kauaʻi Helicopter Experience: Doors-Off ALL WINDOW SEATS

Darren_W, Aug 2026

Doors off and all window seats is the way to go!

We normally don't splurge on expensive excursions, but a helicopter tour of Kauai was on our bucket list, so we went for it. And our tour with Mauna Loa did not disappoint! It was so well worth the money! Especially the doors off experience! Our pilot Christoph was excellent! He knew a lot about different areas of the island, and he helped us feel safe. My wife and I both get a little nervous with extreme heights (hikes along cliffs and such, not flying on planes), but neither of us felt concerned at all during the entire flight. It was also fun to have music (Top Gun, etc.) playing on our headphones which we also used to communicate. I only wish we could have captured that audio on our videos we took on our phones instead of just rotor noise. Not sure how that would work, but it would be sweet! They also equipped us with strong phone lanyards free of charge, which worked great! We didn't get cold, but wearing jackets helped shield us from the strong rotor winds. So, SO glad we did this!

Jennifer_W, Aug 2026

This was the best! we...

This was THE BEST! We loved every second, it was such a blast. Captain Croy made everything so much fun! He and Peyton were super knowledgeable, we learned a lot and saw such cool things in such a fun way. This tour is worth every penny! The boat is so much fun and they had the best playlist. Highly recommend!!

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!

Kauai: Deluxe Na Pali Sunset Cruise aboard Lucky Lady

Allyson_M, Jun 2026

Great service for a fun activity!

We traveled with this tour last October. The staff were so friendly and helpful. My sister has special needs and they were so great about helping her get around and she had so much fun with them! They made the experience fantastic! The rest of the tour was also great - smooth ride and beautiful views!
