Amazing Tour! - This was a fantastic tour! The itinerary was perfect with so many beautiful places to stop and see and the pacing was perfect. Not too fast or too slow. Our tour guide was Sabrina and she was outstanding! Her knowledge and personality really made for an informative and fun tour. She was raised on the island and her passion and love of her home is impressive and radiates in her stories she shares along the way. Thank you for a great day on Kauai!

I would highly recommend it! - Our driver was amazing , very attentive the whole drive , very knowledgeable would provide information relating to our stops or views along our drive. I would definitely recommend, if you are flying from another island I would give yourself atleast 2 hrs from the tour end time for flight to ensure you have plenty of time.

Kauai in a day - Nice experience - driver was experienced and professional. There was a nice mix of drive time and stops, allowing for sightseeing. Bus was comfortable. Communication was excellent before tour. Only criticism, and a small one at that, is the driver could have given us an update or progression of the schedule of the next two or three stops. He went by the published schedule, but if you hadn’t committed it to memory, you would’ve had to ask. Otherwise, the tour was well worth the investment of time and money.

Scotty as Our Tour Guide/Driver - Scotty was our tour guide/driver during our tour of Kauai. We booked the tour through Carnival Cruise Lines. He told story after story about historical events of the Island as well as describing the natural beauty of the area through the lens of his photography background and insight. He was very unassuming and answered any questions we had. You could tell he was a genuine good guy and cared about our experience. We wouldn't hesitate to go on another tour with Scotty in the future!

Nice overview of the... - Nice overview of the island. The 'Opaeka'a Falls was underwhelming probably due to rainfall. I'd omit it and focus on the south/west side of the island. It's really just a scenic overlook. Our driver was very informative but we could have skipped the lecture on how we're all drinking our coffee wrong. That went on a bit too long.

Better on your own. - The tour description is misleading. The boating is only 30 minutes round trip. A lot of time in the van. So it was not what we expected. What we did see was great but I
