Kauai Cruise Reviews

Love Kauai have been there before so we rented a car and drove to some of our favorites. ...

This is one of our favorites. The best part is coming and going, as the ship has to turn 180 degrees several times to avoid the breakwaters. Took a Princess excursion to the north shore. Saw so much and had a provided lunch at Annini Beach. Saw Puff the Magic Dragon, King Kong and old movie sites on the way to Hannalei. Our guide took us by many houses owned by the Hollywood stars. He had many ...

We had reserved an all-day HAL tour of the Wailua River to the Fern Grotto, plus a bus trip along the Poipu Coast to Waimea Canyon (the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific"). But our ship was two hours late docking due to winds, and HAL canceled the entire tour - I still don't understand why they didn't try to run part of it and prorate the cost. Left to our own devices, we booked an Uber to take us ...

Thursday - Spent the 1st day at Kauai Back country Mountain tubing. Was a unique, fun experience. They do not offer shuttle pick up (see rental car pickup hints below) so we rented a car for the day and afterwards went to Wailua Falls and then  Lydgate beach and played in the surf.

You are again docked in an industrial area. We were able to walk for less than 15 minutes to get a very nice beach. You could also take a free shuttle to a very small strip mall and then walk 5 minutes to the beach. The Waimea Canyon Tour was only okay. The canyon was beautiful, we only spent 30 to 40 minutes at two different locations to see the canyon from outside the bus. We spent 30 ...

Great HAL excursion to Waimea valley ...

Limited transportation from the pier- only 11 taxis on the entire island. Shuttle busses only went to shopping malls. We had a great excursion with Kauai Backcountry Adventures but were stressed out about making it back to the ship on time. ...

Fabulous scenery. The best place to tour by helicopter. ...

worked out well on our own. Had very long walk to end of Peer (industrial) before you can find any vendors. ...
