This tour is fantastic and I'd recommend it to anyone visiting Kaua'i, especially if you want to get a comprehensive experience of the flora, fauna, history, and culture of the island in only one day. Noah is a wealth of knowledge, bubbly personality, and life experiences, and there was never a dull moment on the entire 7 hour tour. Because it is a private tour, Noah asked about our interests and then personalized his stories and information to the things that we wanted to know. In our case, we focused heavily on local plants and agriculture which he knew so much about and had lots of personal experiences with. He took us all over the island, stopping for countless lookout points and photo ops along the way, and sometimes taking a brief hike to a lookout, a beach, and a cave. You will come out of this tour with stunning pictures guarenteed. Noah is a fantastic story teller and has been a teacher in local schools, so his information about Kaua'i's history and culture is incredibly in depth and accurate. I probably learned more on this tour than any other tour I've taken and I would recommend it to anyone! Hands down my favorite tour from our entire Hawai'i trip.

We did a private guided tour to Waimea Canyon and the South Side of Kauai with Noah. Noah was such a wealth of knowledge, great historian and story teller, and most of all, very kind and accommodating. The entire family had an amazing time seeing and learning about Kauai's famous tourist's spots. Our experience as a family is "epic" as per our boys, definitely one for the books. Thank you, Noah, for all you're shared with us!! ❤️

Our guide Noah was wonderful. He was knowledgeable, fun, and really adjusted the experience to fit my family’s needs. I would recommend this tour to everyone, and if you get Noah as your guide, better yet!
