Fabulous tour guide - Native Hawaiian Eaton shared so many insights while on tour. He is witty, kind, patient with stragglers, answered questions thoroughly, and is so knowledgeable about Kauai. He seemed to enjoy the sightseeing stops as much as we did. Thank you, Eaton for a wonderful experience.

Great 1st time experience to visit much of Kauai - This is the best way to get to see much of the island. You get to visit a number of scenic spots, have lunch in one of the island towns, and really just enjoy yourself.

2025 Summer Tour - Rosario is such a good tour guide! He also gave us free water and cookies for snack after our grotto tour. We learned a lot from him! Boat ride going to the grotto was super fun! Waimea Canyon looks like a painting! It was breathtaking! Rosario made a recommendation to go to Keoki’s Paradise. We went there for dinner the next day and ordered his recommendation - hula pie! We devoured it! Thank you Rosario!

A whirlwind tour of the island! - My wife and I had a great time on this tour! Our guide, Uncle John was very friendly and knowledgeable about the island. He shared some really cool stories with us. Loved the boat ride on Wailua River and seeing the Fern Grotto. The Waimea Canyon was breathtaking! Had a lovely stop at Kauai Coffee and saw a lovely rainbow at the Spouting Horn. Highly recommended this tour. Great way to get your bearings of the island and get some ideas for places you might like to come back.

Gave us all his local knowledge of the Island and made it fun and unscripted! Kudos to Uncle John and Polynesia Adventures!! Thank you for making this day trip so memorable!

Waimea canyon was... - Waimea canyon was beautiful better than the grand canyon. It was a clear day and the colors were brilliant! The river boat ride and fern canyon were pretty and entertaining! The kauai coffee plantation was nothing to be excited about. Our driver Eton/Ethan was very kind but the information he provided seemed a bit redundant. Folks were falling asleep as it seemed like we spent a lot of time driving.
