Highlights of Kauai - We had a wonderful time with Coco. She is such a special tour guide and has loads of fascinating stories to share. We took her Westside Tour last year and once again we were wowed by her knowledge of the island. You will not be disappointed if you take a tour with Coco.

Wonderful experience - Our tour and Coco were both amazing! We saw gorgeous sights, and Coco taught us so much history along the way, gave us tips and suggestions, and took photos for us. Even our younger kids (3 and 5 years) enjoyed the tour. She also went above and beyond by giving us beach and food recommendations for our family while we were there. Highly recommend!

Unforgettable tour and cherished memories in Kauai - Coco Maria from Kauai Soul Travel deserves recognition for the wonderful experience she provided to all of us. Excellent communication from the start, punctuality in picking us up in a very nice and super clean van, extremely well organized providing us with bathroom breaks, lunch and snack, and knowledgeable/entertaining information about the places we visited. But, above all, the friendliness and comradery we experienced during this tour thanks to her. A perfect recipe for an unforgettable experience in the gorgeous places we visited. Big hugs Coco from all of us!

Malaho to Coco! - Coco made this the best excursion of the week. Even with the unpredictable weather, we did everything and more! The best part was taking a stop at Hanapepe, a treasured town where Lilo & Stitch took place. Coco was an excellent guide, very fun. knowledgeable, and hilarious. Wished I would have booked a second excursion with her, but if we ever return to Kauai, I will definitely book another excursion with her. A must for anyone who has never been to Kauai!!
