Beautiful tour of Kauai. Highly recommend. Since it was a private tour we did the Waimea Canyon, Wailua Falls

Spectacular scenery with interesting movie commentary; loved the Smith Family Botanical Gardens and Hindu Monastery especially the banyan tree there. Great lunch at new market cafe in ?Ka’apali.
See the island with a relative

A really wonderful tour. John was knowledgeable, responsive and flexible in shaping this tour as we went along. It felt like we were being shown around the island by a relative. I highly recommend doing the room tasting at Koloa run company and making all the stops as you make your way up the Wymea canyon... It will give you a different appreciation if/when you do the helicopter tour.
Amazing Adventure

John was a great guide on our adventure . He took us to some amazing locations where we got to see the most amazing landscapes and marine life. He definitely made it a special day that won't be forgotten.

We had the best time, our day with John was excellent and will be remembered for years to come. We enjoyed so many sites and took some great pictures. We ate delicious smoked chicken and enjoyed fresh brewed local coffee you can only get on Kauai. We even witnessed a marriage proposal during the tour. The island is beautiful.

Our tour guide, Alaina (sp?) did a fantastic job.
She adapted our tour to cover the places we had not yet seen and was willing to spend extra time to show us more.
When we booked this tour, we were not sure we would like it - but we definitely did.
This tour and our tour guide come with our highest recommendations!

Our tour guide provided a wonderful day for us. We were able to experience highlights of the island, learn history and have great conversation. We stopped for a nice lunch mid way through our trip which was very enjoyable. I'm glad we made the decision to book the tour otherwise we would have missed some beautiful sites.
P.S. She's a good photographer too!

Elena was a wonderful tour guide! Since it was a private tour, she could customize the places we went according to our preferences. We had a fantastic day seeing so many beautiful places! I recommend this tour to anyone who wants a good overview of the island. We went on the northern route, but if weather is rainy there, our tour guide was prepared to take us on the southern route and out to see Waimea Canyon etc. Highly recommend this tour!!!!
Had a super wonderful guide on out...

Immensely enjoyed our tour of Kauai! Our guide Jon was excellent! Very knowledgeable of the area, accommodating to our schedule and preferences. We never felt rushed and got to enjoy the sites at our pace. Jon went out of his way to ensure that we got to see wild marine animals. Upon arrival, he asked whether we would like to alter our tour. The weather was amazing for a tour of the Waimea canyon and west side of the island -so we toured there instead.
Very intimate tour. Our tour guide...

Very intimate tour. Our tour guide was attentive, professional, and delightful. The tour was tailored to our needs. Our tour guide picked us up at our resort and gave us scenic and historical information throughout We were able to ask any questions we had about Kauai and she was know.edgable in her answers. I would highly recommend this company.

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour. John was excellent - very knowledgeable about everything. We were the only people on the tour and when John picked us up he went over what we would see in this tour, which is the south side of the island or the other tour that covers the north side. We asked which one he would recommend and he suggested the north side. We saw so many things and were lucky enough to see a Monk seal, sea turtles and several wild pigs. We would recommend this to everyone.
This was our first time to Kauai and...

This was our first time to Kauai and our tour guide John was amazing!! He answered all of our questions, took us to the coolest places and was very professional and polite. He was also very knowledgeable about the history of Kauai. I HIGHLY recommend this tour while in Kauai. Thank you. :)
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
