Disappointing. This is not a hike, nor is there time for a hike. It is BRIEF stops for nature and LONG stops for shopping. Our driver didn't get out of the bus at our hotel, so when we figured out he was there for us, we got on. He never introduced himself (Manny) and provided almost no information about Kauai. Some of stops were neat, but most weren't. Hanging Bridge town may have been cute, but we were there before everything opened. 5 minutes would have been plenty. The next town stop was also before businesses opened and we were there for almost an hour, with junky crap stores that finally opened. Any information would have been helpful: a coffee shop recommendation, location of public bathroom, upcoming stop on the tour, drive time between stops - anything! BTW, state park restrooms mostly (not even a finger point in the direction by the tour guide), apparently never tended to-gross. Almost no information given by tour guide, brief stops at Canyon (40 minutes) and VERY long stop at coffee farm - over an hour! Also, no information given about the businesses where we were stopping. I understand that they have partnered with local businesses, and I support that, but we selected this for the nature stops, and it was really mostly shopping stops and driving. Oh, and a DVD with a chicken pecking out a song, which was funny, but I'm not sure it was meant to be.
Lunch was great and a nice location! This is a trip for the elderly, and an older man even stood up and yelled at children on the bus. It was memorable for all the wrong reasons.
