We decided at the last minute to book a jeep tour of Kauai. We are glad that we did. The day before our tour, our guide Simon confirmed the pick-up location and time. The next morning he showed up on time with fresh fruit and water. Before heading out he asked if we had any "must see" places. Because we had not toured Kauai before, we left it to him to decide where we would go. For the next 5 hours Simon took us to the Waimea Canyon Lookout, Pu U Hinahina Lookout, and the Kalalau Lookout - where we hoped to hike. Unfortunately, heavy fog rolled in eliminating visibility and our chances of seeing anything on the hike. So, Simon took us to Polihale State Park where we walked a stunningly beautiful and somewhat secluded beach frequented mostly by locals. We drove by the largest coffee plantation in Hawaii. We stopped for photos of Waipoo Falls and Wailua Falls - both spectacular! We skipped a lunch break to spend more time sightseeing and learning about the island. We had a great day with Simon. Lots of laughs! At one of the stops a couple celebrating their 50th anniversary approached us to inquire about places to visit. When we introduced our "son" Simon to them, he went right along and gave them several great ideas for their trip. He made our day very enjoyable. At the end of our tour, Simon recommended Duke's for lunch and kindly chauffeured us there. It did not disappoint - great food and drinks right at the beach! Here are a couple of things to note: The tour is 5 hours, not 6. No worries - we saw a lot in the time that we had and never felt rushed or short changed. The jeep is new and comfortable - a very capable vehicle for the terrain that we experienced. But who buys a new jeep without power windows and door locks;-) ? Just to be clear - this was an excellent tour with a great guide who is friendly, knowledgeable, flexible, funny, and kind. We highly recommend Simon and this tour.
