First let me say that we always look for a private tour so we don’t have to drive. Most guides have a general route, but will also cater to your wishes. Elena did not disappoint. Her knowledge of the history as well as the floral and fauna was remarkable. It was the best tour we’ve been on. We went at our own pace and saw so much. Our favorites were Waimea Canyon, the Spouting Horn and the Kauai Coffee Plantation. We loved every minute from the pick up at our condo door to the great lunch at the Chicken in a Barrel. We passed going to the shopping areas. We can shop another time. We wanted to see the sights and beauty of Kauai and we did

John was very knowledgeable about Kauai and knew all the great places to see and how to get the best pictures…… We batted 1000 for great shots of canyon, valley, falls, blow hole turtles, etc. Visiting the coffee plantation was a special treat for me to see how it is grown, harvested,, and roasted to cup. Also visited a couple of quaint local towns. This is a great tour which he customized to include some of our specific interests. Highly recommend.

John was our host. He was a very pleasant gentleman and was very knowledgeable about things he was showing us. We loved hearing about some of Kauai’s history and the genealogy of its early ancestors. He knew a great deal about the island’s land history and the commerce that has come and gone over time. I loved Waimea Canyon and the awe-inspiring views from the different vantage points John showed us. Kauai coffee company was a treat as well. We saw two munk seals in poipu as well as several sea turtles. The spouting horn was on full display and did not disappoint. My only complaint is this: the cost of the tour. I would have paid an easy $300 without complaint. But $540 was way too much for this tour. If the tour company wants to charge like it is a premium experience, then make it a premium experience. It was a very nice tour and we thoroughly enjoyed it. But I felt over charged for what I ultimately received.

Mahalo for your review Michael! We are glad you enjoyed our tour. Our current rates reflect a recent increase in parking and entree fees for tour companies to the Waimea Canyon State Park. Thanks for understanding.
