I have traveled to Hawaii countless times, but I had never been to Kauai Island, so I booked a day tour for the first time. The natural beauty of Kauai Island was very healing. Along the way, I accidentally dropped my cellphone somewhere, and I apologize for the trouble it caused to my fellow passengers and the driver.
ハワイ旅行は、数えきれないほど行っているのですが、カウアイ島に行ったことがなく、初めて一日観光を申し込みました。
自然の残るカウアイ島はとても癒されました。

We enjoyed the tour of the Big Island and our guide John was very knowledgeable and pleasant. We did not appreciate having to wait nearly an hour upon arrival at the 'Big Island' airport for a second plane to arrive with further passengers. Also, as with all other tours, MANY fewer stops at commercial places where one is expected to buy would be great. There is more of value one could do in the time than trawl shops.

Kauai Island, the last stop after conquering Maui and Hawaii Island...
I knew it was rural, but there are hardly any traffic signals!
However, the stories from our guide, Mr. Abe, who is married to a second-generation Japanese American, were fascinating.
It's a mysterious island where Shabo chickens roam freely!
I recommend it for those who want to relax.

It was our first time to visit the islands and we based out of Oahu. The flight on Go! Airlines over to Hawaii was excellent, I've been on smaller planes. Sharon our tour guide gave us a lot of history and knowledge about the islands and we were glad that we chose this tour at the beginning of our trip because every where we went after that was much better because of Sharon's explanations during the tour about the history of the islands, plants and even the hula dance. Thanks to everyone that made this tour a very enjoyable experience.

I am very grateful to my guide, Mr. Abe. Thanks to him, I was able to enjoy Kauai Island at a leisurely pace. His storytelling was also very relaxed, making the journey feel effortless. Although he had already retired once and was working again, it felt like his experience really made a difference.
I could clearly see the impact of the two major hurricanes that hit Kauai, with damaged buildings and free-roaming birds still evident today.
The fern cave wasn't very impressive, but the mini Grand Canyon was lovely.
私は阿部さんというガイドさんにとても感謝しています。
時間をゆったり作って回っていただいたので、カウアイ島を堪能できました。
お話もとってもゆったりしていらして、つかれることのない道中でした。
すでに一度は退職されており、再雇用でのお仕事とのことでしたが、そんな経験が物をいうという感じでした。
カウアイ島が2回も大きなハリケーンに見舞われ、大きな被害があったことは今も残る壊れたままの建造物や放し飼いになった鳥などでよくわかりました。
シダの洞窟はあんまり印象的ではありませんでしたが、ミニグランドキャニオンは素敵でした。

A wonderful trip brilliantly organised. Gives ample opportunity to view the beautiful island of Maui. As we have always found with all the trips, the tour guide is superb, giving us plenty of information about the island and providing lots of stops so that we can enjoy the beauty of our surroundings. A long day but well worth it.

This was a great tour, but a lot of driving. Our driver, Juan ( might be misspelled) is a native hawaiian and shared a lot of fact and fable. He played a video about how Jurasic Park was made, and as we drove around you can see where parts of the movie were filmed. We had plenty of time at each stop. I thought the fern grotto was a bit lame. The ferns were destroyed in a hurricane years ago, so the ones that were there were small. It wasnt what I expected. And there were mosquitos at the grotto. It would be nice if the driver had bug spray or something. We came back with a lot of bites. The boat ride was frustrating. It is a wide boat, with a low roof. The guide kept talking about the mountains or things on top of the hills, and most of us couldnt see what he was referring to because of the low roof. On one hand, seeing the island through a tour is a great way to learn a lot about the island. On the other hand, renting a car allows you to stop where you want to (little s

There is a lot of traveling back and forth then actual viewing spots, and because of that there was not enough time at Waimea Canyon which is the main spot of the trip. People taking half day tour should not be mixed with fullday tour, there was a lot of time lost in going back and forth droping those people, and the return flight to oahu should be planned accordingly we had to wait 2 hrs at the airport.

Me and my daughter recently did the Volcano Tour and we were lucky enough to have a wonderful, knowledgable Tour Guide by the name of Jane. I hope you relay to her once again how much we enjoyed the Tour. I have traveled 18 different countries and been on many tours but I enjoyed the casual way that she conducts her tour. She tells you what you need to know - answers all questions. She keeps you entertained full time and is very careful about what her people do and where they are. She stays with her visitors. I truthfully, enjoyed her tour better than any I have ever been on. She really is an asset to your company and good at what she does. I am really glad we took the tour as we have been to Hawaii 7 times and this is on the top of the list of what we have experienced. All other tours were good but this one was really good. Thank you and Thank Jane for such a wonderful - educational amount of entertainment you provided. Thanks again.......Audra E. LeGasse

This is a fairly biased view to the tour since the airport was absolutely terrible on both directions (NOT the tour's fault).
The guide was ok, unanimated and didn't realise he told us the same stories multiple times - I found this funny but other people were getting really annoyed about it. If you like the history of sugar cane you'll get plenty of it!
The Canyon was AMAZING! As was Fern Grotto. Everything I thought was only ok in terms of interest sake.

My husband, daughter, son-in-law, and myself went on this trip, and we had a great day. We flew over from Oahu, as we wanted to see another island, and "volcanoes" was on our bucket lists. The staff was friendly, professional, and always looking out for us. Dennis was our tour guide, and he was full of knowledge, and we especially enjoyed his coaching us on our usage of the Hawaiian language. The trip consists of a visit to Rainbow Falls, a waterfall park on the island(okay, but not awe inspiring), a stop at Mauna Loa nut factory (yum), a visit to a volcano field and a black sand beach(breathtaking), a stop at a orchid farm(they smelled divine), and finally the Volcano National Park. Don't go on this tour if you expect to see lava...all you will see is steam from vents in the park, and gasses far off in the distance. We knew this ahead of time and were not disappointed. We had a late flight, so Dennis dropped us off for a bit at a local shopping center, and then came back and to

I could not have imagined how beautiful Maui was going to be! The entire day felt magical...like I had stepped into a completely different world somehow. My boyfriend felt the same way. The guide was really up on all the facts that we would want to know as tourists not being from there...and she made it a fun day, not boring or overly talkative like some tours we have been on either.
We are already decided that we WILL be coming back to Maui on our honeymoon, and driving the road to Hana as husband and wife...we loved it THAT much! Thanks for a great day.

Nice and enjoyable day on the Big Island. We got to see quite a few different and beautiful places. The pick-up at the hotel in the morning was a little later than planned and there was some free time at the end of the day waiting for the plane back, but otherwise it was pretty well organized. Volcanoes national park is beautiful and probably unlike anything you've seen before. More time could be spent there and maybe less or skip the Macadamia nut factory, but we got to see the main spots of the park. Guide/driver was fun. Recommend this especially to first timers who don't have the chance to stay on the Big Island.

Having lived on Oahu for 5 1/2 years in the '50s and never having visited any of the other islands, my sister and I were expecting to see something different and unique. This tour certainly filled the bill and was both those things - and more! Our tour guide - Patty -was very knowledgeable about local and island history and places of interest. She stopped at more than the expected stops and we had plenty of time at each one of them to take pictures, visit any shops that were there and generally get a feel for the place. The fact that we were a small group - just 8 of us on a mini-bus - was fantastic and we turned into a group of 6 after lunch after dropping one couple off back at their Kauai hotel.
It was wonderful to see the unspoilt beauty of Kauai, much as Oahu was when we knew it and before development spoiled it. We were so happy to hear that there has been a limit put on the number of stories hotels there can have, albeit after Marriott built their 8-storey one. At lea

The morning was mostly spent in the bus, with the afternoon being more active.

This excursion was above and beyond what we had hoped for. This trip has it all beauty, adventure, romance.

The all-day tour was awesome. No time was wasted - it was fully occupied with interesting things to see. The highlight was having "Captain Rob" as our guide - he has an incredible wealth of knowledge on the geology, flora and fauna, and history of the island/volcanoes. And all comments/narration were presented in a very comfortable and "user-friendly" manner. The other guides may be equally commendable, but for us, we couldn't see how the "Capt" could be improved upon.
The only negative element in the tour was Go! Airlines - 30-35 minutes late leaving Honolulu and 35-40 minutes late returning from Hilo - please don't use them !!

This time, I visited Kauai Island for the first time. The boat ride to the Fern Grotto was a fun trip filled with singing and laughter. Many of the guides are older, making it a more relaxed tour, so I would recommend it to mature couples rather than young people. The atmosphere along the coastline felt similar to the North Shore of Oahu. It's an early start, but you'll be back by the evening, so it’s not tiring.
今回、初めてカウワイ島に行ってきました。
シダの洞窟に行く際の船の中も、歌あり笑いありの楽しい笑旅行でした。
ガイドさんなどは、お年を召されている方が多く落ち着いたツアーですので、若者よりは熟年カップルにお勧めです。
海岸線の雰囲気などは、オアフ島で言うと、ノースショアに似ている感じがしました。

This is a very good way to get acquainted with the island. If you are staying on Kauai, it is a quick way to decide where you would like to spend more time. If you are flying in and out, it is an opportunity to see something other than the island where you are staying.

This is a great 1-day activity if you are staying in Oahu and want to experience another Hawaiian island. We stayed for 10 days in Waikiki, Oahu and this tour gave us the opportunity to see Kauai for a reasonable price.

We were met at the airport by one of the tour organisers and were handed our tickets for the flight and told where to go and what to do upon arrival back at the airport later that night.
