What are people saying about Kauai

Kauai: Na Pali Coast Power Catamaran

Tiago_G, Sept 2026

Amazing!

What an amazing experience! The boat is spacious and not crowded as the regular zodiac rafts. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. They were also very nice to offer us an earlier tour since our original one had to be canceled because of hurricane Lowell. I highly recommend this tour. You get to see the beautiful Na Pali coast and snorkel in the Pacific Ocean!

The Beautiful Na Pali Coast

The tour was fantastic. The Na Pali Coast is one of the most beautiful places on this planet. Our Captain & crew took fantastic care of us. The Capt. was very informative about the local history, and Hawaiin legends. Very interesting. We got to see dolphins three different times thoughout the tour. The snorkeling was great. The food was so good that I over ate. Yum! It was a wonderful tour.

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: 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 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: Secret Falls Kayak and Hike

Mary_W, Aug 2026

Unforgettable family...

Unforgettable family experience! We had an absolute blast kayaking and hiking out to the secret falls, with plenty of time to relax and enjoy the water. Our guide, Corey, was awesome—he was so knowledgeable, taking the time to teach us about the local edible flowers and history along the way. Highly recommend this tour if you're looking for an incredible outdoor adventure!

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: Na Pali Coast Super Raft Snorkel Adventure

Melany_Y, Aug 2026

Best Na Pali Coast Excursion

This was hands down the highlight of our Kauai trip! We are SO glad we chose this excursion! From the moment we stepped on the boat, Captains Nono and Mason made us feel like we were out on the water with old friends. They were hilarious, kind, caring, and incredibly attentive, making sure everyone was comfortable, having fun, and feeling safe throughout the entire 5-hour adventure. They shared so much fascinating history about the Na Pali Coast and the surrounding islands and areas, which made the incredible scenery even more meaningful. And the music?! 🎶 They kept the vibes going with an awesome playlist that had everyone smiling and enjoying the ride. We loved that it was a smaller boat with only about 17 people because it made the whole experience feel so much more personal and relaxed. They provided water and light snacks, which were perfect for keeping us fueled along the way. And one of our favorite moments was stopping to snorkel! 🐠🤿 While we were in the water exploring, Nono played the ukulele and sang for us from the boat. Seriously… how often do you get to snorkel in Kauai while listening to live ukulele music?! 🌺🎶 It was such a fun and magical touch that our family will never forget. Between the breathtaking Na Pali Coast, the snorkeling, the history, the music, and especially Captains Nono and Mason, this excursion was everything we hoped for and more! If you're visiting Kauai, DO NOT skip this experience. We would absolutely do it again in a heartbeat! 💙🌴🌊

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.

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.
