Tons of Fun and Lots of Laughs! - This was a great trip and a wonderful way to see most of Kauai. Our driver, Kaleo, was amazing! We're from Ohio and he graduated from Ohio State and is an avid fan which made it all the more fun. Lots of laughs, and he was extremely kind and compassionate with me as I have mobility issues and use a walker.

Perfect Tour for an overview tour of the entire island. If you can only do one, highly recommend this one. - Fantastic tour. Pacing was perfect, you get to see a great sampling of all the different environments that Kauai has to offer. Rosario was an excellent guide and did a flawless job of getting the customer the best experience out of the tour.

Highlights of Kauai - Rosario was a great tour guide. He made sure to take us to the best places for pictures. I love that we sat at a restaurant for lunch together. The buses are the best I have seen on any tour.
