Kauai is a beautiful island, one of the small of the four main islands. We choose our tour with Roberts Hawaii as it is much cheaper then the tour offered by Pride of America. It is best to pre-booked through the internet as there is no private tour at the port. The tour bus driver is very knowledgeable about the place and provides interesting information and facts about the tour. Waimea Canyon is beautiful. The sight takes you back to the dinosaur time. The Waimea Canyon tour is only half a day. The tour bus takes you back to the ship for lunch before the river cruise tour in the afternoon. We went to see a waterfall before the river cruise. The river cruise is on a flat bottom boat with Hawaii songs and dances. It was a relaxing experience.
I have nothing negative to write about this tour. The guides were personable, funny and knowledgeable. We saw more than we expected to see and learned so much about the history and local lore of the island. We had a great time! Money very well spent.
Enjoyed both the canyon and river cruise, especially the Fern Grotto. Splitting the two excursions between morning and afternoon was great! It allowed us to have lunch back on the ship and gave us a break from what would have been a long, tiring day.
