Great tour guide - An outstanding tour! Adequate time allowed at all stops to view the sites and take in the beauty of the island along with a very good lunch at Chicken Barrel! However, the best part of the tour was our engaging tour guide, Sabrina! She provided detail of the history of the island, the people and their languages as well as current events occurring in the area. An outstanding guide.

Beautiful and Educational Tour - We elected to take a tour to Walmea Canyon to be able to enjoy the view and not worry about driving. This tour was excellent in many ways and the best was our tour guide, Sabrina. She was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the history of Kauai and its people and languages as well as the local towns we visited. The lunch was very good and there was adequate time allowed at all stops to enjoy the beautiful views of the island! We recommend this tour with Sabrina highly.

Waimea canyon is beautiful. - Waimea Canyon is beautiful!
Tour included a stop at Poipu beach, but it would have been nice if timing included the turtles coming ashore.
Lunch at chicken place was so-so. Chicken was dry & rice with it was terrible.

Ehh, Okay if you're bored and looking for a way to spend money. - It was 30 minutes late, didn't make as many stops, the driver wasn't that informative and was flat out wrong about some things.

Nightmare! - Our tour guide was not counting head counts of guests after each get-off-on location. Matter of fact, she left me out and drove the bus. I ran 1 mile behind her bus and screamed to stop her but she did not. I was so exhausted and almost passed out--At that moment a volunteer truck driver went after her to stop her.After that she started counting passengers.
Also, she is using a microphone either very close to her mouth or its poor quality. Also she is adding emotion that her voice is going up and down, it was not understandable what she was talking about.
Lunch was great and making many stops to see was pros.
