We loved the Hawaiian...

Ann_B, Mar 2024

We loved the Hawaiian legend stories that went with the sights we saw including waterfalls and the Spouting Horn!

Wonderful

John_V, Feb 2024

Had a great time with our guide Coco. I would definitely recommend touring with her. We've been to Kauai a number of times before, and Coco showed us sights we hadn't seen before.

Kauai sightseeing tour

KenythReynolds, Feb 2024

Actually the whole tour was amazing. We toured all kinds of places and each place had a story behind it to make it just that more enjoyable. Seemed like we toured the whole island but Coco gave us the inside on each every stop. Thoroughly enjoyed everything about this tour.

Great guide and tour!! Highly recommended both!!

Jeri_F, Dec 2023

Coco was amazing!! We had a fun filled tour with beautiful views, Hawaii history and great conversations. Coco was an extremely knowledgeable and entertaining tour guide. She came highly recommended and she did not disappoint. I would recommend her on this tour to anyone!! I am sure she is amazing on all of her tours!!

Fantastic tour!!!

David_D, Dec 2023

Coco our tour guide was amazing. She made you feel like family. The sights were amazing including the beaches we visited. Coco made the tour very interesting as her knowledge of the islands history made the tour very very infomative. I would highly recommend this tour!!

Horrible - no no no

Adelya_L, Jul 2023

Scammers - I booked tour for 2 adults 1 child Payed 502,62$ Last minute company change address of meet up ( telling it’s better for us -because it’s local food and beverage) Change car- from ford bus to Honda . Once I start texting - I did tyro error about my son age, I did correct it. Company told me that I am Lier. And I must pay more. Woman was rude and unprofessional. Disrespectful and annoying. Apparently this tour company work with Viator app and both gain from customers. After this accusations and disrespect obviously me and my family don’t want to to tour. So service not provided - and they still gonna take 502$. Pls don’t book with this horrible company. Because they do what ever they want. And won’t refund you. No matter if they did make changes . Your money gone. Book with respectful tour operators not scammers like this Pls see the photos.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Dear Adelya With all due respect your words are not only insulting and slandering but a reflection of your persona, and that's what readers will see. You are a hater. We have been in business now for over 10 years and strive to make the best at what we do because we love what we do. We do not scam or steal or else I'm sure we would be out of business. You purchased our tour through Viator, a TripAdvisor owned company. They act as a concierge to us. As business partners we have rights and responsibilities. They run the charges, take a commission and pay their vendors once a month. Our cancellation policies are very lenient giving travelers room to cancel up to 24 hours before the tour begins. Some companies don't offer this. After the 24 hours refunds are not possible unless you get sick or injured and have a doctors note. We are not in charge of all this rules. we have an agreement with Viator and we honor that. You were aware of the cancellation policy pre and post booking as it is described on Viator's site and on your confirmation email. The morning before the tour we sent you a friendly confirmation of the new stop and you were fine with it but proceeded to demand we seat you and your family on the front seats because it was your sons Birthday and your mom gets car seat. We told you we couldn't guarantee this until we met the other passengers. When we asked you your sons age, you lied and tried to turn it around saying it was a typo. We communicated to you that we needed to charge you the difference as he is an adult and not a child, and to bring proof of his age. You got offended at this, and your rage against us and Viator began. At no point we were rude about our request. Once you realized your dishonesty was out in the open you decide to cancel the night before the tour and demanded a refund accusing us of changing the vehicle and pick up location, and saying we were being rude to you. We kindly told you to come with us that you would have fun but you did not budge. The Viator agents tried to explain to you that nothing had changed on the tour, in the contrary we added an extra new stop that's to your benefit, but you hung up the phone on them too. We have two vehicles; a 15 pax bus we use for big groups and a 2022 Honda Odyssey for our small groups, like yours. The new pick up location is 2 mts apart from the old location. You tried to flip the issue in your favor and demand your refund on the basis of the car and new location, which was completely irrelevant. You could have come on tour. We were very welcoming and tried to make you calm down. We have so many text messages to prove it. You, in the other hand threatened us with bashing us all across social media and made a point to harass us via text for en entire day. It's always sad to see when someone lets their anger and thirst for vengeance control their actions. We did nothing wrong to you. We could have sold your seats if you would have canceled on time. It was your choice alone not to come. Hopefully you can someday learn from this experience. You can't go around life buying and booking from companies and expecting them to change the terms you agreed upon last minute because you are an entitled brat. Nothing is earned from bashing a small local business. You get more with honey than with vinegar. If you are a traveler and you are reading this, we hope you don't let this awful review deter you from booking with us. Please do be aware that any company you book a tour with on Kauai has the same cancellation policy, some are even more strict with only a 48-72 hour cancellation window. We are here to create amazing experiences for our travelers. Please reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns. Warmest Aloha to all.

Best tour of Kauai

Mary_L, May 2023

This was a great way to learn the history of the Island. Coco Maria was the coolest guide for our trip. I even got to celebrate my birthday with a free Lava Cake with our new friends😀

A relaxed approach to viewing local sites!

Michael_P, May 2023

Only had 3 couples for the tour which made it more relaxing and cozier. We all got to know each other a bit. Coco, as all the reviews we read, was an excellent host with a great approach to her tour agenda. Due to a highway closure, we had to go to a plan B routing that actually worked out quite well for everyone! Recommend this tour to everyone!

Amazing

Sara_E, May 2023

Coco was an awesome tour guide! She was personable and funny and made the day so enjoyable. She has a lot of good suggestions for local spots. She is also a great storyteller. Would definitely take another tour with her in the future!

Harker Family!

Debora_H, Feb 2023

Coco was a wonderful tour guide , if we were in Kauai longer we would book all of her island tours!!

Beautiful spots

Angela_T, Dec 2022

CoCo shared some Legend stories throughout the trip, took us to some beautiful view spots, and overall great company

Terrific day in Kauai

Shelley_B, Dec 2022

Coco was amazing! She is so knowledgeable and interesting to listen to. Not only did we learn so much about the island, we saw the most beautiful waterfalls, rivers, and beaches. Lunch was also delicious. Overall, a terrific day, even in sporadic pouring rain. Thanks Coco!

Focus On The Native Hawaiian Culture

Alfredda_L, Oct 2022

My husband and I had a great time touring the sights of Kauai while learning about its history. The storytelling could be improved to reflect how the native Hawaiians are thriving and embracing their culture.

Response from Host, Oct 2022

Dear traveler The native Hawaiians are not thriving in their own land. We were very explicit about why that is and the current issues that affect them. We gave you so much history, culture, legends, past and current, we believe perhaps you weren’t listening at all times. We are not native Hawaiians, we are locals but we always strive to make sure we educate our guests about the way Hawaiians feel about their current situation. The Menehune Fish pond was one of the sites we took you too. There we shared with you the history of that place and the importance of the restoration protect that’s being handled by Malama Huleia. We also shared the importance of the Hawaiian Homelands and the need for their expansion at the Prince Kuhio Monument. We narrated for 5 hours non stop while taking you to beautiful sites. We wish you safe travels and Aloha

Awesome tour
