Ultimate Kauai Private Island Tour with Expert Guide

A Wonderful Experience and Way to See Kauai

Reviewed by: California tourists , 2023/09/25

Kevin picked us up at our hotel on time and spent the day showing us the west and south sides of Kauai. He gave us lessons in pronouncing Hawaiian words, the geology of Kauai, and history of Kauai, while driving from viewpoint to viewpoint. He was sensitive to what we were interested in and what types of food we wanted for lunch. We were impressed that he understood the weather patterns, kept a constant watch on the clouds, and was able to get us to the Waimea Canyon and Na Pali coast viewpoints at times when we could see the views.

We had a most enjoyable day and would highly recommend tour guide Kevin and The Ultimate Kauai Private Island Tour - South and West tour.

  • Viewpoint of North Shore

Bubu’s Amazing Tour

Reviewed by: Alexis, 2023/09/17

We booked the Tubing Tour as a part of our honeymoon, and had an amazing time. Our tour guide was Bubu, and she was knowledgeable and helpful about the history of Kaua’i as well as giving us helpful suggestions on where to go while we were here. The tour itself started with a bus ride through the Kaua’i scenery while Bubu entertained us with interesting facts and stories.

Kauai Backcountry Adventures Mountain Tubing Tour with Lunch

I did a lot of excursions on Kauai, and this is in my top 2

Reviewed by: BKST, 2023/09/17

I probably experienced this excursion in the one of the worst ways possible: it was overcast and rainy, it had torrential downpoured right when we arrived at the canal, I was just wearing a one-piece bathing suit (no shorts or sleeves), I'm a freeze baby, the tour guide wasn't too friendly (probably because he was called into work last minute), but despite all those things, I TRULY LOVE AND HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS ACTIVITY! I was really nervous I would be cold, but I was comfortable the whole time. Just my butt touched the water unless my husband splashed me lol. The downpour didn't last long either and the majority of the ride was under tunnels. The ride was so much fun. Our tubes sort of acted like bumper cars as the water pushed us this a way and that a way. Not only was it a fun ride, the number 1 reason why I love this activity is because it isn't just a lazy river or crazy river manmade for the purpose of tourism. The canal and tunnels were made in the late 1800s for the sugar cane plantations (now defunct). (Tunnels are checked every year ensuring safe operation!) I think it is a great way to optimize a resource that no longer has its original purpose. Of the paid excursions I did in Kauai (boat tour, helicopter tour, hula show, spiderman/superman ziplining), this mountain tubing excursion is in my TOP 2 MUST DOs.

Ultimate Kauai Private Island Tour with Expert Guide

It struggled to be too comprehensive.

Reviewed by: John, 2023/09/09

My wife and I had taken guided tours before mainly in the Carribean. On those tours, we stopped for various activities: touring a ruin, lunch on the beach, and a hike through a rainforest. Our guide, Kevin, did an excellent job trying to show us everything (and finding restrooms). The fault was not in the guide but in the attempted scope of the tour. It was six hours of driving and stopping for photos and then more driving. For instance, there were two waterfalls on the tour: One (twin falls) in the great distance and the other along the roadside (blink and you would miss it). It would be better if we could be taken to the trailhead and allowed to hike close to the falls. Or maybe with some preplanning, we could have swum at one of the beaches we stopped at. Although my wife and I are in our 60s and 70s, we are both very active. It was an introduction to the Island but we were exhausted at the end of the six hours.

Great ATV experience through rainforests

Reviewed by: Marita S, 2023/08/28

Great hosts we had, very informative about route, scenery, and hazards to watch for. The waterfall was really shorter than I expected and that day showed too much dirt in the bottom of the waterfall lagoon area. Yet Overall,it was a great experience and I would definitely recommend this tour to friends/family.

SOOOO FUN

Reviewed by: K.A., 2023/08/25

Tubing was our favorite adventure. the drive out there was beautiful and our guide shared a lot of history and info about the island. Then the tubing was so fun. I thought i would be afraid of the caves but it was fun. Lots of spinning around and bumping into each other. The pictures turned out great.

Oasis in Princeville

Reviewed by: Whitney Family, 2023/08/05

Family of four- two adult sons, enjoyed this spacious home. The bedrooms and bathrooms were comfy and each with their own amazing views. Kitchen had more than enough to cook meals and enjoy local food. Favorite spot was the patio off the living room. So lush. Private. Beautiful chickens roaming and kittens. Quiet neighborhood. Took beautiful walks. Enjoyed the nearby resort for sunset and dinner. Saturdays go to the Farmers Market. Responsive replies. Plenty of beach stuff as well. Great washer and dryer set up. Books, puzzles, and games galore. Just a lovely experience!

Kauai Backcountry Adventures Mountain Tubing Tour with Lunch

I personally think it's a bit overrated

Reviewed by: Chuang, 2023/07/31

The tour guide (a Hawaiian teenage girl, very energetic) is super awesome and nice, the safety tour guides also works super hard. It's the tour itself that I gave this rating. The tube would keep spinning and spinning which made me dizzy and created minor headache. I really hope that there is a way to force the tube to alway look forward. Some sort of a "1-person" short floaty canoe or kayak would have made this tour much more enjoyable. Thanks!

  • relaxing but watch out for spinning

Susan was fabulous. She was so knowledgeable about the island and great with our kids (ages 5 and 7). She told us history of the island and suggestions on things to do during our stay. When our kids were getting tired and a bit cranky, she went out and got them water and popsicles. This tour was the highlight of our trip!

Sacred Falls Adventure - Wailua River Kayak, Hike & Waterfall Swim

Fantastic tour-GREAT tour guide!

Reviewed by: Wilson Family, 2023/07/09

The kayak/hiking/waterfall tour was beautiful. Exactly what we were looking for. Tour guide Harrison was fantastic, very knowledgeable about the local flora/fauna, history. Harrison was cool with letting our 10 year old daughter double kayak with him (she didn’t want to ride with mom and dad!). Lunch sandwiches were very yummy. Tour guide even provided a chilled pineapple after the tour. Harrison made sure we all had transportation after the tour and actually went out of his way to drop us off at the beach across the highway in his own personal vehicle. 100% recommend and would use again!! Also-prepare to get muddy LOL

Comments from activity operators

Aloha Wilson O'hana,

Harrison does it again, i.e. provides a classic effort, as he does on all his tours.

We are the only tour company on the Wailua that provides pretty good lunches; my favorite is the veggie.

Will share your kind words with Harrison…slowly; don't want it to go to his head.

Thanks for sharing and warning folks about the mud.

A hui hou,

Micco

Sacred Falls Adventure - Wailua River Kayak, Hike & Waterfall Swim

Amazing Kauai Adventure

Reviewed by: Gregg M, 2023/06/29

If you are down for a decent workout plus an absolutely exceptional experience go on this excursion.

The kayak trip is breathtaking. You are paddling along more or less the Kauai jungle. Once you complete your paddle up it’s off to a beginner level hike.

The hike consists of a couple of water crossings and then being immersed in open cane like fields and then into dense rain forest. Then you begin to get peaks of the waterfall ahead.

The arrival at the waterfall is phenomenal. For us it was our first time to a Hawaiian waterfall and all the hype and what you expect to experience, well, it’s true! Bask in the beauty of the falls, go enjoy the water and feel it crashing about you, you won’t be disappointed. It was a bit chilly at first but once in it’s comfortable.

This is where you get lunch, the sandwiches were great, the cookies, those were delicious!

Once you get to spend the 45 or so minutes at the falls it’s time for the hike back. Take in the scenery, it’s truly breathtaking.

Once back at the kayaks it’s time for the 2 mile paddle back to the marina. Here’s our advice on the paddle, go easy heading out to save your energy for the paddle back. It seems there is always a head wind for the return trip, we’ve heard this from friends who did it in the Spring and we did it late June. Just expect a harder return paddle then out.

Our guide was Steve, so I can’t speak for the other guides. But he was a top notch guide. Shared great info on what we were seeing, the horticultural significance of the area and some Kauai history, you are traveling through where the Hawaiian Kings/Queens lived.

Couple of tips, if you are a mosquito attraction like my wife, bring some bug spray. Absolutely make sure you have a refillable water container, it’s hot and you are working. And, go do this excursion, hands down the most fun thing we’ve done on the islands.

Comments from activity operators

Wow Gregg…you should become a professional review generator. Let me know if you ever need a job.

Seriously thanks for generating an excellent review that give potential clients a real sense of what is involved.

Having Steve as the guide is just icing on the cake on the journey to the falls and yes he is definitely "top notch".

Thanks taking the time.

Stay well and active.

A hui hou,

Micco/Head Guide
