Fantastic tour of Kauai! - Ronnie was our guide for this awesome day touring the island of Kauai. He picked us up and dropped us off at our cruise ship which made the experience nice. He made many stops and gave us as much or as little time at each place as we wanted. During the tour he gave great narration about the history and culture of the island.

A great day! - This full day tour traveling around Kauai was fantastic! Our tour guide, Roger, was amazing. He provided great information on history and had nice conversation with us. He went above and beyond to make our day one to remember.

Complete and comfortable tour - We visited the island getting off the ship with pick up at the port. Our driver showed us all the main places, stopping at different points to see the canyon from different perspectives to descend towards the coast. Nice experience.

Kauii Tour - The sites visited were great and the driving was good, but the guide’s information was fairly canned and his English/knowledge base was not sufficient to answer most of the clients questions.

started really slowly... - started really slowly when a couple cancelled the tour and we waited for them. then we had questions about the tour, but the driver was hard of hearing and could not here us ask the questions. It ended very nicely with the turtles and seal we saw.

Kauai Western Side - Great tour of the western part of the island with some really interesting sites that others who’ve travelled to the island had missed: the swinging bridge & spouting horns.

Not a tour, it's a taxi service - I read the reviews for this tour before booking. The Roger that was showered with praise in other reviews is not the Roger we experienced. What he gave was taxi service not a tour. Roger gave very little background or history. Simply told us how long we had at each stop. I rated a 3 star because we did see a lot of the island which is what we wanted and paid for.
