Great time had by all!

Vikki_B, Jul 2023

Working as a team together. Discovering interesting new things about the island and the local people. Discovering strengths of each team member. Sharing our experiences with everyone once the game had ended. All the laughter and smiles that followed!!

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Mahalo nui loa! Great creative clues by both teams! I would love to host you for a rematch at my Hanapepe hunt or on another island- Lahaina in Maui, Kona or the Volcano Park on the Big Island or Waikiki!

Fun hunt!

Alexandra_H, Nov 2022

Although we had to cut our hunt short, we really enjoyed finding several of the items on the list. I would do this close to when you arrive. It gives you a fun way to learn lots of things you may not have known.

Response from Host, Nov 2022

I'm so glad you had fun.. lesson to others- don't let your teenage son eat the supersize bag of m&ms before you start the hunt!

The fantastic 5

David_T, Oct 2022

All of them!!!! Great way to meet people and see the city. Netting the local people & taking to them was awesome.

Response from Host, Oct 2022

Thanks Fantastic Five! Its really both fun and an honor to host guests such as yourselves.

Great little competitive activity

Vanessa_D, Jul 2022

This was a fun experience for our family of 4 (2 under 16). It made us talk to locals and step out of our comfort zone a bit. Tara was a wonderful host. She even went above and beyond to tell us a fun story as a prize when the youngest of our group (10) asked for it.

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Mahalo nui Vanessa! Thanks for doing my hunt and I am glad your little rabbit liked my story of the Jade Rabbit in The Moon!

Scavenger hunt feedback

Julia_A, Dec 2021

Talking to locals about their culture It was good. The majority of the questions were interesting to find the answers, Unfortunately this was done remotely, it took us about an hour and a half to finally get the questions on our cell phone. The reception was not good in that area where we were supposed to meet someone and no one was there but us. The host lived in Arizona. It was only two of us on the scavenger hunt we advise you to change the name because it was not a scavenger hunt as we know it. we are over 65+ years old and some of the activities was too strenuous and jumping off a pier no we could not do that. Then we were told we had to walk a mile and a half and in our condition we cannot do that. We had a really nice time but it was not worth the money we paid.

Response from Host, Dec 2021

Glad to hear you had fun talking to locals and had a really nice time! Unlike a lot of activities where you just roll up and start this activity is better to think of like bowling.. you need your correct shoes on and to get lined up for your success. In the same way you do need to make contact on whats app before the hunt. Sending your team name and photo before the game so we develop a communication style is part of the game so skipping that is not optimal. And yes, although I do tell my hunters they can drive if needed it is true this is an active and challenging hunt that normally includes 1 to 1 and 1/2 miles of easy walking. I believe being on foot is the best way to explore a new place. As my listing explains it is not a traditional scavenger hunt like any you have done before. It has creative challenges social interaction and being detectives on the hunt. I do host it remotely. I am like a game show host in your pocket. Come ready for something new!

Great Scavenger Hunt!

Kelly_H, Oct 2021

We had a great time and enjoyed learning more about the Hawaiian culture. The clues were fun and easy to follow and we learned many interesting things from the people we met! I would highly recommend this to do with friends or family. It was a good time had by all and we enjoyed making fun memories along the way!

Response from Host, Oct 2021

We had a great family experience learning about the area. We all enjoyed ourselves and learned in the process.

Thanks for allowing me to be part of your Kauai adventure!

2 hours of fun

Margaret_R, Feb 2020

Great time had by all! It brought together creativity, interaction with the locals, and fun. Every clue was very attainable by everyone- some a little bit silly. The host was great too! The only suggestion is make sure you know how to use WhatApp. I didn’t know, which made it a bit tricky at the beginning, but easy as I learned!

Response from Host, Sep 2020

Thanks for your review! Yes I always recommend to my guests to get used to Whats App the day before so we are ready to rock and roll during the hunt! PS. I now host an online game Creative Connectivity Game Hawaiian Style which can be done worldwide with friends and family for all of us missing Hawaii!

Quite Enjoyed It

Ryan_H, Jan 2020

Really enjoyed this and learned more about this wonderful place on the planet. Organized and run well, very energetic and super spiritual vibe with our host. The entire family took some goodness from it. Would recommend it to anyone.

Response from Host, Jan 2020

Mahalo nui! Your family was so fun!
