What are people saying about Kauai

David_B, Jun 2026

A Kauai highlight

This was an absolute highlight of our trip. The crew and captain absolutely are first rate, the boat was super comfy, the views were incredible, and the food and drinks were plentiful (and on the house too!) One thing that pleasantly surprised us was just how hospitable and welcoming the crew were. I know they’re there for safety and to keep things moving smoothly for passengers, but they were constantly bringing around drinks, snacks, using their much more seasoned sea legs to walk around and keep everyone happy while enjoying the views. They took photos of everyone too. Truly a stellar team. Couldn’t recommend them more highly.

Kauai: Nā Pali Coast Zodiac Raft Expedition and Snorkeling

Holly_R, Jun 2026

Amazing & Unforgettable

Get ready for the ride of your life! What an adventure! I was somewhat apprehensive about riding on a high speed raft while perched on the side holding onto a rope with one hand but I read so many reviews and no one stated they felt unsafe. Neither did I! So happy we did this as a family! The weather was perfect. We did the 11am tour. Because the water was calm we were able to go in every cave and even stopped to snorkel! I just floated around on a noodle that was provided so I could enjoy the beautiful clear water. We saw several pods of spinner dolphins.. We also got lucky and saw a monk seal eating an eel on the ride back. We got back to our hotel in Lihue and had planned to change clothes and go grab dinner but all 3 of us including our 18 yr old son laid down for a short nap but found ourselves so exhausted that we just slept! Didn’t feel tired while on the raft but I guess the 30 minute fast ride back to the dock in Waimea did us in. Ha! We bought the photo package and I’m glad we did. The girl was taking pics and videos the entire time. Even took family and couple pics with the gorgeous Na Pali coast behind us. Worth the money! This excursion with Na Pali Riders is a must do!

Koloa Zipline in Kauai

Brett_M, Jun 2026

Fantastic Fun!

Our experience with Koloa Zipline was fantastic. We had an awesome group of people with us and amazing guides. Shout out to Eden! She is amazing and really helped to bring the whole experience together. We would recommend the zipline tour to anyone looking to have an adventure or family fun!

Elizabeth_D, Jun 2026

One of the best days of our lives, truly.

This was the best tour we’ve ever taken in our years and years of travel. Boat was very nice, staff, Drew and Corbin were absolutely amazing. Views were absolutely breath taking. We did get very lucky with weather conditions. One of the best days of our lives.

Kauai: NaPali Boat Tour on the Amelia K

Carol_A, Jun 2026

Great experience!

Wonderful experience traveling close to the Napili Coast, viewing sea caves, and an interesting narrative of what we were viewing. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They definitely had the safety of all passengers in their minds. There were passengers of all ages on our boat who enjoyed the experience. We would definitely book this experience again in the future.

Private Kauai Helicopter: Ultimate Waterfall & Canyon, Free Video

Joel_S, Jun 2026

What an absolutely...

What an absolutely incredible experience! We just finished a doors-off helicopter tour of Kauai, and it was truly one of the highlights of our trip. Seeing the island from the air gave us a whole new appreciation for its beauty—from the dramatic Nā Pali Coast to the deep canyons and hidden waterfalls that you simply can’t see any other way. A special thank you to Will and Kendra, who were both amazing to work with from start to finish. They were friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. They went above and beyond to make sure everyone felt comfortable, safe, and excited for the adventure. If you’re visiting Kauai and considering a helicopter tour, don’t hesitate. The doors-off experience is unforgettable, and the team made it even better. Highly recommended!

Worth the money and time!

This was an amazing way to see the whole Island! Getting an overview of the canyon and coast line was the highlight of our trip to Kauai! This was about half the cost of a helicopter ride which was a big deciding factor for our family of 5. Very friendly pilot and staff in the office.

Erik_R, Jun 2026

Extremely professional,...

Extremely professional, amazing experience, pictures don’t do it justice! A must do! Pilot Chrissy was extremely safe, checking in & providing us with lots of history & information over the island. Doors off was such a cool experience. Make sure to take a jacket like they advise you as it can be cool in some spots.

Kauai: Luau Ka Hikina Admission with Dinner and Lei Greeting

Mark_S, Jun 2026

Nice little Luau

This is a very quaint Luau. There is a little interactive poi ball twirling and drum playing event before the show. It wasn’t only popular with the kids, but for the adults as well. The staff were very friendly and the food was better than most Luau’s on Kauai. The story telling and performances were great. The performers were very friendly and interactive with the audience as well. We really liked the smaller venue. It puts everyone near the stage and I don’t think there’s a bad seat. My family had a great experience!

Kauai: Na Pali Sunset & Sightsee Boat Tour

Krystal_A, Jun 2026

Amazing Na’Pali Coast Sunset Dinner Cruise

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Na’Pali Coast Sunset Dinner Cruise We booked this sunset dinner cruise through Viator because we wanted to experience the Na’Pali Coast without doing a snorkeling excursion, and it exceeded all of our expectations. The entire tour was incredible from start to finish. The boat was beautiful and comfortable, the snacks and dinner were delicious, and the drinks were excellent—including the sunset champagne toast. Most importantly, the views of the Na’Pali Coast were absolutely breathtaking and truly unforgettable. What really made this experience stand out was the crew. Captain Jessica was fantastic, sharing interesting facts and details throughout the trip without overwhelming guests with constant narration. She kept everyone informed about what to expect and did an amazing job navigating the boat. Mickell and Jasmine were exceptional hosts. They served drinks and dinner flawlessly while also taking the time to interact with guests throughout the cruise. Their attention to everyone on board made the experience feel personal and welcoming. The water was quite choppy and the ride felt rough at times. Mickell mentioned the conditions were only about a 2/10, which surprised us because we were often sitting or holding on to maintain our position. Even so, Jessica handled the conditions expertly, and the ride remained enjoyable. My stepmom is prone to motion sickness, so we were a little concerned beforehand. Thankfully, she felt great throughout the trip, and the crew continued checking on her during the cruise, which we really appreciated. The only minor disappointment was that they ran out of Mai Tais about an hour into the four-hour cruise. Since these were one of the highlights we were looking forward to, that was definitely a bit of a letdown. Fortunately, there were still plenty of other drink options available, and while it was disappointing, it didn’t take away from what was otherwise an incredible experience. Overall, this was an outstanding experience and one of the best boat tours we’ve ever taken. If you’re looking to see the Na’Pali Coast without snorkeling, this sunset dinner cruise is an excellent choice. Highly recommended! 🌅🚤🥂

Kauai: Luau Kalamaku with Buffet Dinner and Show

Tisha_G, Jun 2026

We had a wonderful time....

We had a wonderful time. Celebrated our 25th anniversary there. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. The show was amazing! Loved to see the Hawaiian culture and even got to fance with one of the dancers. Food was good too! It is a buffet that had shredded pork, amazing white fish, and chicken for meat selection. Rice, veggies, potatoe/mac salad, fruit and a few other selections. All were very good. We came from North shore. Give yourself an hour to get there if you do that ;). We were a little late but the show hadn't started yet and there was a line. Parking was easy. Wear your Hawaiian dresses and shirts.
