Kaleo did an amazing job, he was funny, entertaining, and engaging. The pace was great, the stops were great, the lunch was great. 10/10 would recommend any trip with Kaleo as a driver. This trip was a great value for the price and the sights are unforgettable

Ms. K !! She was the best energy and guide for this tour. She is so knowledgeable and passionate about Kauai and the culture. She made this tour worth every minute

Melissa_G

Waimea Canyon was amazing, not an easy drive which is why we took this tour. I wish we had more time to take it all in but this tour is like a taste of Kauai you spend some time at each location. You can drive back later to the best spots

Melissa G

Kaleigh is very knowledgeable and helpful. It is worth the trip if you do not like driving in winding roads to the Canyon. The Canyon is a must see

Robin_R

Our tour guides where amazing and funny. Our driver Kanae is very knowledgeable and made us feel welcome. She went beyond and told us the restaurants where the locals go to eat real authentic Kauai food

This is a great tour to see the natural beauty of the island without the hassle of driving. Took tons of pictures. Rosario was a great guide, informative & a helpful photographer! Lunch at Puakea Grill was awesome. Staff at the fern grotto tour was informative and entertaining. Highly recommend.

Marielena_C

Great way to see the island! Our bus driver/tour guide is very knowledgeable…we learned a lot of the island’s history in a few hours! I highly recommend!!! My only suggestion is to have small water bottles in the bus!

We had a wonderful day with our guide Kaleo. The Waimea Canyon was beautiful. Kaleo made the all day trip fun and informative. Loved the trip to the Fern Grotto up the Wailua River and the trip to Kauai Coffee and the blow hole. Highly recommend.

Eaton was very knowledgeable and kind, but a bit repetitive. Great driving skills. Words of advice: if you're on the minibus, sit front or back for best AC. At lunch, order cheeseburger and chips to avoid cold fries or lukewarm rice. If you have a rental car, you can do these on your own faster, but if you don't want to do the driving, this is for you as you pay for the convenience. He has a step stool for those with mobility problems.

This was a great trip and a wonderful way to see most of Kauai. Our driver, Kaleo, was amazing! We're from Ohio and he graduated from Ohio State and is an avid fan which made it all the more fun. Lots of laughs, and he was extremely kind and compassionate with me as I have mobility issues and use a walker.
