Exquisite adventure - The tour was beautiful. A day anticipated by impending down pouring rain. The river boat crew did an amazing job navigating the impending rain. The crew shared stories and history that kept us completely interested. The live singing that serenaded us was angelic and added to the atmosphere and scenic beauty.
The culmination at Fern Grotto with the crew singing of “The Hawaiian Wedding song” was enchanting. This added aspect created a picturesque landscape and echoed throughout the surrounding landscape. Beautiful and would 100% recommend this to anyone think of taking the tour.

A lot of ooos and awes! - We loved every minute of our tour. Our guide was fun and full of information. He made the trip very interesting. The scenic tour was amazing and the knowledge that was with it was also amazing. We didn’t know so many movies were made in Kauai.

Great your - Thank you, it was a great tour to magnificent locations. Eaton was a wonderful guide, friendly, down to earth and funny.
One suggestion - the vegetarian option (a salad) could be a little bit more generous…how about giving us a boiled egg and some fries too. Everyone gets their sandwich and fries and we get a bowl of lettuce with some croutons :(

Fun way to explore Kauai! - We took this tour as first timers in hawaii on our honeymoon. My only regret was not bringing snacks and caffeine! I loved getting opportunities to see different parts of the island, including famous celebrity houses. Especially cool to see different parts of the island decades ago in movies from the 1950's. So cool. The shuttle guy even picked fresh flowers for the ladies, so sweet
