Had a great time on this adventure. We had the “island” boys as our guides and they were funny and fun. Told great stories, very knowledgeable about the island, history, and the land. Would totally recommend!!

シダの洞窟観光ツアー ワイメア渓谷&ポイプ潮吹岩&オパエカア滝 <英語ガイド>

I was able to efficiently visit all the highlights in one day. 見どころを1日で効率よく回れました

Reviewed by: Rosa

I participated in a day trip from Honolulu. Since it was my first time on Kauai Island, I wanted to visit the famous sights in just one day. Out of the 20 participants, 7 of us, including myself, were on a day trip from Honolulu. It was great that we had enough time at each sightseeing spot to explore leisurely. We also had a nice, relaxed lunch. At the end, there was an accident that caused traffic delays, and I was worried about whether we would make it back in time for our flight. However, the guide reassured us that they were in contact with someone at the main office and had arranged with the airline to ensure that if we missed our flight, we could catch the next one. I really appreciated that. They mentioned that they monitor the traffic conditions and the bus's current location, which made me feel secure knowing that the company operates with such attention to detail.

ホノルルから日帰りで参加。初めてのカウアイ島だったので、取り敢えず有名な見どころを1日で回りたくて参加しました。20人の参加者のうち私を含めて7名がホノルルからの日帰りでした。見どころ各所で充分な時間がありゆっくりと見学できたのが良かったです。ランチタイムもゆっくりできました。最後に事故渋滞で時間が掛かり帰りのフライトに間に合うかどうかハラハラしましたが、ガイドさんが本社?の人とやり取りしながら、もし万が一乗り遅れても次のフライトに乗れるように航空会社にも頼んでいるので大丈夫ですよと言ってくれたのがありがたかったです。道路の渋滞状況、バスの現在地などを会社でモニターしているとのことでした。細かいところまで気を配りながらきちんとオペレーションしている会社のようで安心です。

カウアイ島1日ツアー ワイメアキャニオン観光&コケエ州立公園ハイキング&コーヒー農園 <英語ドライバーガイド>

I had a great time on Kauai for the first time. 初めてのカウアイ島 楽しかったです

Reviewed by: どんうぉん

Waimea Canyon was clearly visible from the viewpoint.

The tour bus was comfortable, and the guide made the talk enjoyable by using videos and sound effects.

However, if I had to point out one area for improvement, it would be the communication regarding the pickup time on the morning of the tour. It was 30 minutes later than the scheduled time, which made me worried. I also tried to contact them on the landline, but I couldn't get through.

ワイメア渓谷は展望台から全体がよく見えました。

観光用のバスは快適でガイドさんもビデオや効果音を使ったりして トークも楽しかったです。

ただ一つ改善点があるとすれば当日朝のお迎えの時間連絡です。連絡時間よりも30分遅くなったため 心配していました。
こちらも固定電話に連絡しましたが通じなかったです。

Rain made better puddles to splash through!

Reviewed by: Brittany

So much fun! The views were amazing! My husband was like a kid on Christmas morning driving around in the mud. It down poured right before we left making extra big puddles to splash though. We enjoyed the puddles more than the dust. The guides were fun, engaging, knowledgeable, and made a safe and fun environment. This is very much an off road adventure. If you’re expecting a calm drive through the park, this is not for you.
