I have been buying surf trunks on this island for 32 years. I am super particular about what kind I…read morebuy and how they fit. This last week I have visited a few surf shops to try on shorts only to find Surly unhelpful people working there. Until today! Wow. What great service I just got at déjà vu. Super friendly people, helpful, informative. And best of all, I scored some great trunks on sale. Special shout out to. "Kimay" for her helpfulness.

We were on the NCL Pride of American and wanted a beach day…read more Within 15 minutes of walking, here we were, the beach. We rented chairs and an umbrella. We thought we would get small beach chairs. Nope, we got nice lounge chairs! The umbrella was a must as it will rain on and off. Also, it provides nice shade. We were close to restrooms, shops, and Duke's restaurant. The staff were super friendly and accommodating. We will book through them again.

Beach Boys catamaran sunset cruise…read more I arrived to the Nawiliwili Bay & Hulei'a River cruise boat slip to join the other passengers on a sunset cruise. This particular day, for whatever the reason, didn't have too many passengers. It made for a better cruise experience, in my opinion. After the normal safety briefing, we set off on the Kalapaki Kai II (smooth sailing gorgeous catamaran!) with the captain narrating the entire evening. While this was not a dinner cruise, we did enjoy a full service bar with light snacks during the evening. In my opinion, the cruise seemed uneventful and not very entertaining, but I am not necessarily interested in history, which is mainly what the captain spoke about during the cruise. He did a thorough job speaking about the Kauai scenery, fish ponds, mangrove trees, Haupu mountain range, Kalapaki Beach, the lighthouse, golf-course and Kauai's still-standing original hotel! We even watched numerous people surfing in the Nawiliwili Bay.... Can't say I'll see that anywhere else except Hawaii! The sunset was not anything to speak of the night of my cruise... but that is clearly out of our control! While I had a ho-hum evening... I will still highly recommend this sunset cruise! It was an incredibly smooth sail.... Short & sweet -- started at 5:30p and ended just as the sun set!

We did it!!! Waterfall rappelling is checked off our adventure bucket list! This was such a truly…read moreunique, exhilarating Aloha experience and more fun than we expected. Naan & Shiz were the best. We felt safe and comfortable throughout the tour. First, was a practice run on dry land. Next, we hiked down to the 30 foot waterfall in 2 separate groups of 4. Last, we hiked through a muddy trail and crossed a stream to the 60 foot waterfall!!! This is a once in a lifetime experience and a must try. We plan to make this a regular activity when in Kauai when we can do it with our eyes closed (just kidding about "eyes closed").

Katie and Matt were phenomenal guides and really created a safe space in what can be deemed as being scary to many. They furthermore create opportunities to bond and celebrate each other through the process of repelling and learning to repel, while knowing their audience and really bringing the perfect hospitality feel. This was well worth the money and the time that they give you out there - they also provide equipment and gear for you at no added cost, which has not been the case at many of the other things that we have done. They also will provide you with choices of how or where you can propel within your comfort and based on skills and teach you how to dry repel prior to actually doing it which really helps with boosting confidence - I was very fortunate and comfortable with being vulnerable and ventured through the waterfall! Cannot guarantee this to anyone, yet it made my experience very memorable and put me into a huge state of humility and peace. We will be back again and I hope it is sooner over later! I hope that people find this review invaluable as well. Cheers, Stephen

We only had our carry-ons and the clothes on our backs. My husband and I needed some clothes and we decided to stop here because it was within walking distance of the Grand Hyatt where we were staying. We had stopped at other shops and either women's suits were running $50 per piece for a bikini or more. Luckily I was able to find a two piece swimsuit from Sea Level Swim Australia here for about $70 due to a 50% off clearance sale. My husband got a discounted pair of swim trunks in the $30 range. This store saved the day because I was not about to swim in a hotel in my undies. Visited: January 2023

Nice little surf apparel shop located at Poipu Shopping Village. They sell their own brand as well…read moreas popular surf brands like Billabong, RVCA, etc. After our luggage made the flight but not us (flight issue where we ending up deplaning!), we were left without anything for 24 hours except the clothes on our backs! Came here the next morning to at least find a swimsuit to enjoy the hotel pool for the day. It was about 1.5 mi walk from Grand Hyatt. Upon arrival, I found that due to a 50% clearance sale on certain items that this was the only affordable place in the area to find stuff under $100! My wife got a swimsuit from Sea Level Swim Australia for about 80 bucks (2-piece), while I got Billabong board shorts for $30!! Great deal! And a life saver too!! They also sell t-shirts, Aloha shirts, swim cover-ups, beach blankets, sunglasses, and more!

Borrowed some sets of clubs to play at the Wailua Municipal Course…read more Clubs were okay, lots of nicks and pretty worn grips on several. Bags were in good shape. Checking them out was a lesson in patience. We arrived while another group was getting set up to go snorkeling- and that was a decent wait. The group ahead was very thoroughly trained in their gear down to "here's how you apply sunscreen".....Staff are VERY thorough and the computer system was VERY slow. So don't come in a rush brah. Returning was much quicker and easy peasy.

Super friendly and offered us some great advice on where to snorkel. Highly recommend! Mahalo!read more

We tried to book a kayak at multiple places closer to our hotel and no one would call us back. On…read moreour first call here, they answered and were very helpful so we knew we wanted to use them. Their prices were better also and they give you a ton of tips and tricks. They gave us a map and told us how to get to the rock jump after the waterfall. We noticed none of the guided tours were going that way so if we hadn't gone to Scotty's we never would have had the amazing opportunity to jump off a rock jump as a family. They also have an after hours drop off which meant we weren't on a time constraint which was great since we have kids who get tired kayaking. I wish I could give them 6 stars instead of 5 because the service was so top notch and we had not had that good of service anywhere else on Kaua'i!
