Kauai Chocolate Farm Tasting Tour

Jeff_S, Oct 2026

This was very...

This was very informative. Mason was a fantastic guide. He explained every aspect from planting to harvest. He was very detailed about the process without it being a mind numbing experience. He also is very personable and has great comedic timing and a fantastic sense of humor. I would recommend this to everyone from children to adults.

Kauai Deluxe Sightseeing Flight

Such a wonderful experience! We got to see the whole island from the air, and the flight was very smooth. Our pilot explained everything really well, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I would do it again without a doubt and would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Kauai.

Emilee_O, Oct 2026

An Absolute Must Do In Kauai

10000000/10 recommend! One of the coolest experiences I’ve ever had. The crew was wonderful, knowledgeable, and provided a perfect experience. Definitely bring an arsenal for sea sickness if that’s something you struggle with due to the rough waters. I was able to manage mine with some medication.

Kauai: Luau Ka Hikina Admission with Dinner and Lei Greeting

Brian_F, Oct 2026

Make sure you experience this Luau!

Amazing experience! The MC was knowledgeable and very helpful while inserting humor with the story. The singer was very good! Her story and the story of her daughter interacting with Elvis was beautiful. It would take a book to describe the dancers and their abilities! We were mesmerized the entire time. The flaming sword demonstration was the most impressive thing I have ever seen. The whole night was incredible. The audience was involved throughout the performance. The food was absolutely amazing!! All the food you could imagine was beautifully prepared and unlimited. We were so happy to have been there.

Kauai: Luxury Na Pali Snorkel Experience aboard Lady Kailani

Danielle_D, Oct 2026

Best Sea Tour EVER ✨

This tour was UNBELIEVABLY magical. Exceeded our expectations in every way. Captain Kaua’i, Capt. Dane, Avery, Jake & Colton were so incredibly helpful, informative, and FUN to cruise with!! The boat (Lady Kailani) was clean, luxurious, spacious, and easy to maneuver around in. The food service and quality was exceptional, and the open bar as well. Captain Kaua’i is an extraordinary captain with 20+ years of captaining experience. He shared lots of Hawaiian culture and stories, kept a sharp eye out for sea life photo ops, and was humorous and down to earth as well. He made sure everyone got ample time/views to take pictures with the Na’apli Coast and massive, lush, cliffs in the background. If you’re questioning about booking this trip, just DO IT!! ✨🤩 One of the prettiest sight seeing boat tours you’ll ever go on!

Kauai: Na Pali Coast Super Raft Snorkel Adventure

LiaSfiligoj, Sept 2026

Highlight of our trip to Kauai

Incredible experience you must do while traveling to Kauai. Select the morning times because sun is more likely, clouds usually shadowing in the afternoon. We saw beautiful coastline, went through caves, saw massive pods of dolphins, snorkeled with fish and sea turtles. The captain kept of us safe and provided interesting facts (Landon) and his first mate (Mason) was so friendly taking care of everyone onboard. Please note, the waves in Hawaii are big and the boat moves fast, so prepare if you have motion sickness. I have motion sickness bad and took Dramamine + wore ms wrist bands and had zero issue. That said, about 25% of the boat were unprepared and got sick, but the crew took care of them with water, Gatorade, snacks, buckets etc. Additionally, come in a bathing suit and clothes you don’t mind getting wet, hats that strap down, luckily they give you a dry bag but phone protection is important. Understand what you sign up for and know your limits!! This was absolutely worth it, highlight of our trip.

Kauai Private Doors Off Helicopter Tour: Ultimate Waterfalls

Sahil_K, Aug 2026

An absolute must-book!

This is a MUST for Kaua'i! The ge Round staff (shout out to Auntie Mei, you are fantastic!) and the pilots (thank you Reid!) are really great There are so many rich textures and details and stories/history of the island, and they did a great job of making it safe and comfortable and fun...the flying was so smooth, and the route and explanations were really something. Without doubt it was a crown jewel of our honeymoon. One of the most unforgettable things I have ever experienced...the best way to truly experience the unique landscape and stunning views. It also serves as a fantastic way to "whet your appetite" for going around the island on foot and by car. This experience will enrich you!

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!

Wailua Nui Luau at Kauai Hilton Garden Inn

Regine_M, Jul 2026

Best Luau in Hawaii

Kauai Airplane Tour: Na Pali Coast, Waterfalls & Window Seats

Lance_O, Jun 2026

A must-do experience when visiting Kauai.

When visiting Kauai, taking a small six-person seater plane tour is a must. There’s plenty of room to look out of both sides of the windows, offering stunning views of the coastline, including Poipu Beach, coffee farms, the Na Pali Coast, Tunnels Beach, Hanalei Bay, Princeville, and the beautiful waterfalls in the middle of the island. With so many scenic locations to enjoy, this experience is definitely worth it, especially for the price.
