All Reviews for Guided Island Sightseeing Tours

Waimea Canyon is breathtakingly beautiful. You will not want to miss it while visiting Kauai and this tour was a great guide through the canyon!

First, our driver/guide Orlando was simply amazing. He was quite knowledgeable and helpful. Orlando’s sense of humor kept us relaxed and laughing. Orlando picked us up right on time. We mentioned to him we would need frequent restroom stops. Not only was he accommodating but he was very picky about where he stopped being conscious of cleanliness. Speaking of cleanliness, our vehicle was spotless and very comfortable. We loved his guidance and took him to lunch. I cannot recommend this tour more highly. When you book, be sure to ask for Orlando!

The Shaka self driving g tours are great we can do them at our own pace and they give lots of great stories, history a d legends.

This experience is a really good sightseeing tour. We covered about 1/2 of the island Kauai from the south, the west, and the north side from about 9a-4p.The places we stopped were great and the were plenty of bathroom breaks! I did think there would be more hiking involved because of the description. There is a nature trail at Koke’e State Park that is nice. Our guide was a native Hawaiian with great stories to tell!
The shops in Hanapepe were fun to shop at! We loved the swinging bridge there! And, the stop at the coffee farm was great with amazing coffee to be taste tested and purchased. You could also see the coffee beans being grown on the trees! It was a fun trip!

I had the worst experience on this tour, had to wait about an hour and a half for the driver to do a food pick up and then wasted an extra hour plus just idling at a pic nic site after everyone had finished eating their lunch, while we speeded through all the main sights and barely had time to take photos of the breathtaking Waimea Canyon!!!!! Poor timing would be an understatement. It was my last day on Kauai and wish I had found another tour company to see Waimena Canyon!

This tour was absolutely wonderful! It was my family’s first visit to Kauai and it was overwhelming seeing all the activities that are available on the island. We settled for this as a way to see a lot of the main sights and it was the PERFECT way to spend the day! We had Kana’e (sp?) as our guide and she was absolutely a joy to spend the day with. She talked stories with us, shared her culture with us and told us all the places to go for our trip! The sights were gorgeous and we recommend this to anyone who is visiting for the first time!!

The tour was at an easy pace and covered the West side of the island concluding with spectacular views and vantage points of Waimea Canyon. Our driver Rosario was thorough with explanations, local trivia, and very personable to everyone. The pickup and drop offs from the hotels were punctual. The lunch was also good as were the local stops in Hanapepe and Waimea. Each stop including those of Waimea Canyon allowed for plenty of time to use the facilities, investigate the area, and take plenty of photos. The tour bus had plenty of space, and was air conditioned and comfortable. I would recommend this tour for any visitors to the Garden Isle!

Our tour guide was one of the best parts of the entire trip. She was so informative and had such a deep love and respect for her island and also for the tourists that are visiting here and falling in love with it as well. She provided us with so much useful information and history to help us appreciate this beautiful place and took us to the best stops along the way to see the amazing canyons!

The experience was excellent. Dan is very knowledgeable and super nice! He was excellent with time and engaged our group the entire trip. He drove carefully. The food was delicious. Glad we did it! Beautiful views.

This was a great tour to get to know the history of Kauai and see beautiful views. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and fun.

We had a superb experience with our tour specially with our tour guide Domi who entertained us well. He’s excellent and very knowledgeable. We highly recommend this company and if possible look for Domi!!!

As someone who had never been to Kauai before, I booked this tour as a way for my boyfriend and I to get acclimated to the island. We were so lucky to have Kana e, a wonderful native tour guide, as our driver and tour guide. She made the entire day so much fun, and extremely interesting. We both loved her stories of the island, of her family, and her enthusiasm. I greatly recommend this tour, especially if you can have a native guide as good as Kana e!!

To celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary, we participated in a tour that included the long-awaited cave of ferns. We were picked up at the hotel by a large bus. There were already several foreign couples on board, and we were the only Japanese. The driver and guide was a cheerful, petite woman. Although she didn't speak English, she maintained a fun atmosphere by chatting and sometimes singing. The overall schedule was relaxed, with stops for restroom breaks at souvenir shops and a coffee farm's direct sales store. It's recommended to bring something to wear in the bus.

結婚40年を記念して長年の夢であったシダの洞窟を含むツアーに参加しました。ホテルに大型のバスでお迎え。すでに車内には外国のカップルが数組。日本人は私たちだけでした。運転手兼ガイドは明るい小柄な女性。英語はわかりませんがいつも話しながら、時には歌いながら楽しい雰囲気で進みます。トイレ休憩で土産物屋に立ち寄ったり、農園のコーヒー直売店にも寄ったりと全体がゆったりとしたスケジュール。車内は羽織るものをお勧めします。

We enjoyed the Waimea Canyon Tour. The coach driver was friendly, funny, and informative.

The Wailua River Cruise was disappointing and boring. The driver of the boat had no enthusiasm in his voice and the visuals of the river were unimpressive. Since you can no longer enter the Fern Grotto cave, this stop is no longer amazing as it used to be.

The female driver conducted the tour by herself and was very accommodating. Since it was in English, I had trouble understanding the meeting times at each location. Waimea Canyon was magnificent and wonderful. For lunch, we had one hour of free time to eat at any restaurant we liked, but there wasn't enough time for choosing a place, ordering, and eating, so we had to gulp down our food and rush back to the bus. Finally, at the Fern Grotto cruise, there was a hula show, and on the way back, we enjoyed singing, a hula show, and a hula lesson, which was a lot of fun. The driver didn't show any signs of fatigue and took us back to the hotel.

女性ドライバーさん一人でツアーをしてくれます。対応良いです。
英語なので各所の集合時間が聞き取れず困惑しました。
ワイメア渓谷は壮大で素晴らしいものでした。
ランチは自由時間1時間、各自好きなお店で食べるんですが、店選び・注文・食事時間でとても時間が足りず、食事は飲み込んで走ってバスに乗り込みました。
最後にシダの洞窟クルーズねシダの洞窟でフラショーしてくれて、帰りのクルーズ中では、歌・フラショー・フラレッスンが催されとても楽しかったです。
ドライバーさんも疲れた表情見せずホテルまで送ってくれました。

The guide was very good. Waimea Canyon had no clouds, and the fern grotto was several times more beautiful at this time of year.

ガイドさんがとても良かったです。ワイメア渓谷は雲１つなく、シダの洞窟も今の時期のほうが数倍綺麗でした。

it was a long day with many stops. some were worth the stop and some were not. if the tour drove straight to the canyon and then to the river, then It may have been worth the cost.

Totally not worth it. Overpriced and overrated attraction and tour

First off let me say our tour guide Rosario was fantastic!!! He gave us such a great history lesson and for us that's everything because we love history. He also has a great sense of humor. The places we got to see were pretty great as well. Waimea Canyon is gorgeous and you must see in person as photos do not do it justice. All the little stops along the way were fun. We discovered Poipu on this trip and we love it there. We will stay there next time we are on Kauai. All in all a great time, highly recommend!!!

Won was a greatbbus driver, who brought the Island to life. The canyon was a special picture taking opportunity. It is a long bus drive, but the island is bigger then you think. Great your.

We wanted to give this tour 4.5 stars but couldn't. We really enjoyed the sights and the information that our guide Steve provided. He was attentive, informative, and entertaining. One suggestion would be to have a bottle of water available for each tour guest.

Juan was a great driver and tour guide. I left a couple of shirts I purchased on the bus and Juan brought them to our hotel. Great guy!

We had a wonderful time. The tour guide is very knowledgeable and he took the effort to know everyone's name and show great customer service. The whole tour he was all smiles and friendly making you feel great throughout the tour.

Kevin was a delightful, knowledgeable tour guide! The bus was so comfortable and trip proved to give us new information and amazing views of the island. I highly recommend this tour!

It was amazing experience .Waimea is gorgeous . I like the tour Kats our driver was such fun...

Airplane ride was amazing. We were able to see parts of the island you can't via car.

It was a good way to check out some of the sites of movie scenes from Kauai. Relaxing and no stress, if that’s what you seek. Jonna was great, providing more of a local perspective and was also one of the founders of this movie tour. However note that due to recent flooding, tour won’t bring you to Hanalei Pier.

The trip to Waimea Canyon was made so much better because of our tour guide, Kevin, and his narration / history of Kauai. The canyon itself rivals Grand Canyon in beauty. The trip across the island to Wailua was also full of history and Kevin made it fun; lots of movie trivia and fun facts. The river cruise was entertaining and the Fern Grotto is breathtaking. We were also lucky enough to see a baby wild pig while walking back to the riverboat. This is one tour well worth the time and money.

This was a wonderful tour! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable, affable, and considerate.

Outstanding tour and we had a really great guide. I highly recommend. We were island hopping and this was a perfect tour.
