Quick one day trip to Kauai - Wonderful tour, very flexible. Arranged a helicopter tour for the kids (24 and 28 yo) and took my wife and I to see a couple waterfalls on the east side while they were aloft. Made adjustments on the fly to accommodate what we were most interested in. Very informative, one of the few tour guides that never seemed to get the least bit annoyed at the constant stream of questions from my wife (haha). Would absolutely recommend.

Best way to relax and enjoy the beauty of Waimea Canyon - I am so glad our family of 4 (2 adults, kids 15 & 17) booked this. First off, Shasta and Coco get an A+ for being accommodating. One of us got a severe sunburn, and we asked if we could re-schedule, and they very politely did. It was so pleasant to be picked up on time in a clean vehicle at our condo, and to leave the driving to Shasta, especially on the mountainous curving roads of Waimea Canyon. Yes, you could do this trip on your own, but then you’d have to concentrate on the road instead of the sights. You’d miss out on the back roads of Hanapepe, lose out on the best bakery in Hawaii, not know of the best place for an idyllic lunch past Waimea Canyon, and never follow Shasta on her secret mini hikes to the best lookouts and photo spots. You’d also miss having a dedicated person to take your family photos and entertain and educate you with Kauai trivia. They shared great ideas for us for our other days on the island, and they were perfect. Based on their recommendations , we returned to Waimea Canyon later for a hike to waterfalls and stunning views of the canyon. I decided we may only see Kauai once in our lives, and I wanted to make the most of it. Coco and Shasta definitely helped us do that. Book it and relax, knowing you are on great hands.

Waimea Canyon + Shasta = Fantastic Hawaiian Adventure - We had a great time with Shasta as our guide. She picked us up and dropped us off at the cruise pier in a roomy and spotless vehicle. First we stopped at The Spouting Horn and waited until we saw the water spout several times. Then we stopped on the way for a sweet pastry and coffee. Waimea Canyon was stunning from several viewpoints. Each time Shasta waited patiently until we were ready to move on. We had our choice for our lunch in Hanapepe, traversed the swinging bridge and even had time to shop. On the way back to the ship we stopped for delicious Hawaiian shaved ice! It was a day we will remember as one of the highlights of our trip to paradise! Shasta was friendly, personable and lots for fun! Thank you, Shasta!

Best Tour We’ve Ever Taken! - Our tour guide was amazing - very knowledgeable, sweet and helpful. We even got a call after the tour by the manager to make sure we were completely satisfied with everything. We have taken tours all over the world but this was by far our favorite.

Fabulous day with Shasta - We had a fabulous day last week with Shasta as our private tour guide. This was our first trip to Kauai (there were 4 adults in our group). She was so sweet and knowledgeable, and showed us things we would never have seen on our own. She knew the best spots to stop and view the canyon, and even found time for a stop at Kauai Coffee. AND she was a great driver - we felt very safe and comfortable in her minivan. This tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Kauai and we would highly recommend it. We truly enjoyed getting to know her and spend the day with her.

Fantastic Tour of Kauai - What a wonderful day we had exploring the Waimea Canyon and southern tip of the island! We feel a tour is the best way to really get to know the area so that you can continue to explore on your own. This tour did not disappoint in any way! Starting with a tasty treat in Kapaa and seeing some incredible sights at the Waimea Canyon, it was a very full day rich with history & sight seeing. We loved the swinging bridge in Hanapepe & the Spouting Horn was spectacular! Shasta was our tour guide & she was exceptional! I would highly recommend her!

Amazing Experience, Lovely People, Absolute Highlight - Booking a tour with Kauai Soul Travel was undoubtedly one of the highlights of our trip. Opting to go on our first full day on the island worked out beautifully. Our guide, Shasta, not only drove us everywhere but also revealed amazing sights and showcased the most beautiful vistas. Along the way, she entertained us with facts and wonderful conversation. This tour provided us with a comprehensive introduction to the island while showing us sites we probably wouldn't have seen otherwise. It allowed us to explore the diverse locales without the hassle of driving, or the frustration of finding parking. Shasta's recommendations were spot-on -- from shave ice and poke to local food trucks, every suggestion we followed was a hit. Additionally, interacting with Coco over the phone was a delight. Amazing people with warmth and positive vibes, making our family feel incredibly welcomed. Thanks to them, we've gained memories that will be cherished for a lifetime. A heartfelt thank you to Shasta and Coco!
