Coco was an awesome guide. She paid a lot of attention to what we were interested in doing and seeing. No cookie cutter service here. She was genuinely interested in addressing all the group's interests. As a van tour we had eight passengers. Not too big, not too small. There was a lot of really good discussion. We got to see beautiful country side, hidden scenic locations and historic cites. She is a wealth of knowledge on island history and geology, but mostly we just had a really enjoyable time. I'll do it again if I get the chance.

For almost a decade we have been coming to Kauai searching for the perfect tour. Going through big companies, recommended ones, Concierge’s, etc. but when it came down to it we couldn’t find a truly good one. But then I found Kauai soul travel and everything changed. This is the excursion I have been looking for. This was hands down the best day my family has had period in Kauai. From the get go coco makes you feel like family, I couldn’t ask for a better tour guide. She really tries to connect with each and every person. A day just hanging out with Coco would be enough but then she takes you to this amazing places that would be almost impossible to find on your own. The 8 hour trip flew by and wish we could of spent more time with coco and explore the island even more. Her knowledge about the island and the Hawaiian culture is unprecedented. Every time we come to Kauai we will be scheduling an event with soul travel and coco. I highly recommend doing a tour with Kauai soul travel even if it’s the only thing you can do. They provide a Sprinter van style vehicle with plenty of room, comfort, and cleanliness. Five adults, and two infants in. At seats and we still had over five extra seats. Please please please take the time to schedule a tour with Kauai Soul Travel, you won’t be disappointed
