Good alternative to ships tours

4.00The overall tour showed a number of the main highlights of the island. It would be better if the driver discussed in advance what was happening and the timing at each stop rather than arriving at a stop and then giving an arbitary time thus that we almost didnt make all the stops as too long given at earlier stops. Otherwise an excellent tour.

5.00Waimea canyon is beautiful, great waterfalls, cute goats, Kauai Coffee was fun, so many sights. Ron C., our guide, had great stories and mountains of information really made the tour come alive. Even when the fog rolled in it was beautiful.
Got to see tons of sites...

3.00Got to see tons of sites around the island with multiple stops for photos along the Waimea canyon which is a breathtaking site to behold. However there were so many stops it left little time for other places which was a bummer. Hard to visit a place and really see/learn about it if only given 15 minutes or less. Our guide Roger was ummm interesting we’ll say. At times hard to understand him from his accent and he seems a bit out there but was overall nice and very chill. Sometimes almost too chill and joked in ways that weren’t so funny such as not getting us back in time. Tour started out a bit rocky when over half the guests cancelled even though we drove all the way to pick them up and waited for them. Because the group was smaller we had to switch from the big van to a small van that was odd. Once things got going it got better. Would recommend doing an island tour just wouldn’t personally do this one again.
Our guide was awesome. ...

3.00Kauai is a beautiful island and we're so glad we visited it. Roger, our tour guide was an excellent driver, gave us plenty of time at each of the scheduled stops and kept us on schedule. The tour itauaiself would have been a bit nicer if Roger shared more facts and history about each of the sites we were seeing. Everyone should visit kauai, its a beautiful island

5.00Ronnie was our guide for this awesome day touring the island of Kauai. He picked us up and dropped us off at our cruise ship which made the experience nice. He made many stops and gave us as much or as little time at each place as we wanted. During the tour he gave great narration about the history and culture of the island.

4.00The sites visited were great and the driving was good, but the guide’s information was fairly canned and his English/knowledge base was not sufficient to answer most of the clients questions.
A great day!
