The Magical Noah's Ark Tour! - Noah made our day the best day in Hawaii and our days were all amazing. His knowledge, his stories, his perfect choices to stop, his comfortable car, his character, his music were all simply magical. Playing tunes on his ukelele was a magical touch too! Don't miss Noah!!!

Noah's Magical Day won't disappoint! - Noah was simply amazing in all ways. He was an expert of this beautiful island. His car was very comfortable. His choices to show us, look outs, meals, coffee plantation, beaches, etc, all while he filled our time with beautiful stories and wonderful music, including his playing the ukelele as we walked the path to a great view, was spectacular. Highly recommend this tour!

Amazing day with Noah - Fantastic day with Noah. He was so personable and knowledgable about the island, keeping us entertained all day and showing us the best spots. Being a private tour it meant that we could personalise the itinerary which was brilliant for our four kids. Would highly recommend!

Ukulele Serenade through the Canyon - This was one of the best tours we did during our trip to Hawaii. We booked a private tour with Noah, during one of our stops on NCL Pride of America. Noah communicated before the tour to make sure we knew the meeting point. His knowledge , information and storytelling of Hawaii and the history was top notch. He was able to tailor the tour for a couple of stops including an amazing lunch stop. He knew of the key places to stop to give us the best views as well as avoid the crowds. Waimea Canyon was spectacular and rounded the day out with seeing the Spouting Horn and finished turtles on Poipu beach. Definitely recommend this tour for people of all ages.

Noah is the best! - Noah is fantastic! There’s a reason why he has all 5-star reviews. He picked us up at the pier (we were on a cruise) and started our day with a general overview of where we were going. All along the way he told us a wide variety of stories from the historical to the personal. We stopped at various viewing/observation points along the ascent up the canyon, telling us some geological facts and figures about what we were seeing. He set the perfect pace, allowing us just the right amount of time to take photos (which he always offered to take for us). Let me say that the Waimea Canyon is spectacular. Truly pictures don’t do it justice and it seemed that one vantage point outdid the previous one. It was truly a display of the beauty of nature at its finest. We got to the top, but it was shrouded in clouds. It didn’t bother us; we chuckled and enjoyed the mist that swirled around, which was beautiful itself. We then headed down and Noah asked if we wanted to stop for lunch, which we did, so we stopped at Shrimp Station for delicious fried shrimp and French Fry plates. Next we were off to the Kauai Coffee Plantation to taste Kauai coffee then off to a beach to see if we could find some sea lions and turtles. While there weren’t any at the beach, we drove a short way down and found a sea lion sleeping on a rock and watched turtles frolicking in the surf. Great fun! Then we headed back to the ship. It was amazing how quickly the tour had gone. Noah kept us entertained the whole time and we learned so much about the island, the people, the history and culture of Kauai. Our sincerest thanks to you from your Aussie and NY friends!

Kauai's Waimea Canyon and South Side Private Guided Tour - Highly Recommend - This was the best tour of our two week Hawaii trip. Noah was knowledgeable, professional, pleasant and multi-faceted. His low-key approach had our family fully immersed in the beauty and grandeur of the island and it's history. My son (who is autistic) was very relaxed and challenged himself to moderate hikes. We would definitely book any excursion with Noah and wish him and his family the best.
