Just the right way to spend six seven hours touring. - Allen was terrific—knowledgeable, quick witted, flexible , aware of each character on the tour and very helpful. Frequent stops but not so many as you didn’t not want to get out of the van.

Exceptional tour of most of Kauai - Knowledgeable, friendly, fun tour guide. Spent enough time at each stop. Many restrooms along the way. Small group allowed us to set the pace. Covered the highlights of the island.

Coco is the ultimate tour guide! - Coco was an amazing tour guide. So knowledgeable and friendly, she really made an otherwise long day go by fast. The van was impeccably clean and comfortable. It also helped that we had a lively and engaged, small group. There wasn’t a question that was asked that Coco didn’t know the answer to.

Best Excursion Ever! - We originally booked through Viator for a Small group excursion but due to it not being fully booked, Coco from Kauai Soul Travel, LLC called me and offered us and another couple a semi private tour and it was delightful! Met Coco at Kauai Bakery where we purchased some malasadas to take with us to Kauai Coffee. Coco was a wonderful tour guide along the drive sharing with us all about Kauai and Hawaiian traditions and so much more! After Kauai Coffee where we spent some time doing a walking tour, purchasing coffee (and they’ll ship home) and enjoying some delicious cold Kauai Coffee and the malasadas, we were on our way to Waimea Canyon. Coco pulled over numerous times so we could get different views of the canyon and able to take pictures. Arriving at Waimea Canyon we spent time there taking pictures and enjoying the exquisite views. Coco took us to a special place for lunch called Kokee Lodge. She called ahead with our lunch orders and we found a table and our food served almost immediately - no waiting in line! That was great! Lunch was delicious and then we were on our way to see more of the Canyon. On our way down we stopped at the town of Hanapepe where we spent some time there doing the Swinging bridge and shopping and taking pictures at the Lilo and Stitch mural. All during our adventure, Coco continued to share with us about the different towns, all about the sugar cane that once thrived in Kauai, the different sites we should see and more. She recommended the Plantation Train and Rum tasting at the historic Kilohana Plantation that we weren’t aware of. Coco has been on the island for 30 years and knows so much about Kauai. My husband and I highly recommend Coco at Kauai Soul Travel for all your tour needs. Call Coco at 808-652-2247 and she will give you great ideas on what you should see during your stay at Kauai.

Great Tour, Great Guide, Great Way to See Kauai! - Excellent tour with our amazing, enthusiastic guide, Shasta! We met the small tour bus just a 10-min walk from the cruise terminal. The moment Shasta greeted us with her sparkling smile and enthusiastic "aloha," we knew it was going to be a fantastic day! This young lady is full of information, historical & current, and shared it throughout the adventure. All of the stops were wonderful, NOT crowded and the perfect spacing between them. Shasta's mom, Coco, is the other half of this excellent business. They will customize a tour, especially for you! So glad we found this excursion!
