Great Tour!!!
Reviewed by: jbradem, 2014/06/14Heavy rain washed out the road to the Rainforest Hike area, so Devin from Aloha Kauai Tours took us on a different tour by van. It was fantastic!! Devin was extremely knowledgeable (and funny too) about the island, plants, animals and history. He made it one of the best tours we have ever been on. Highly recommended.

Hiking in the rain(forest)!!
Reviewed by: Jeannie E., 2013/07/18We thought we had signed up for the ATV's, but realized our mistake when the driver started making stops on the way to what we thought was the trip. Anyway, it. Turned out to be a great time, just different than what we had hoped for. Our guide, nick, was a wealth of information. I swear the guy knew every plant possible! I tried in earnest to stump him, to no avail. You will most certainly get wet in this trip! And the 4wd ride to get there is extremely bumpy, to say the least. I would recommend this if you are looking for something different. It didn't rain, it poured, which made it more fun. It's not a tough hike. And it was beautiful.

Wonderful Hike, Great Guide!
Reviewed by: Mr. Tufts, 2012/11/27We had a hike with Tour Guide Nick who was absolutely wonderful. Nick was super knowledgeable about Kauai, Hawaiian History, and the various plants and animals found in the rainforest. He showed us which plants were edible, which were not, and gave us tons of information about everything in the jungle. He truly made the hike all the more enjoyable for my family.
The actual hike itself was very fun too. We had wished that it had gone a little farther into the Wai'ale'ale caldera, but the hike ends where it would get much more difficult to continue walking. Hikers are still able to see some of the massive waterfalls in the distance at the end of the hike. It is a fairly easy hike, too, just bring decent sneakers and be prepared to get them muddy.
We will try and get Nick for a kayak tour when we return to Kauai next time!

Reviewed by: Charlie S, 2012/07/07The rain forest tour was so much better than we thought it would be when we signed up - our guide, Paul (who we also had on our snorkeling activity), had a great personality and had so much knowledge of the local flora and fauna - he is a true value for your staff - he made us feel welcome and provided tidbits of local knowledge that were amazing - the scenery was beautiful and we had an excellent time thanks to Paul - the interior of the island of Kauai is awesome - towering cliffs and beautiful waterfalls - a great activity overall!

Hiking Tour - Kauai Rainforest
Reviewed by: The Early family, 2011/05/03Aloha,
My husband and I really recommend this tour. Our guide taught us everything from the history of Hawai'i to the plants and animals that we came across during the hike. I learned so much and had a great time! He even taught me about my flower crown that I was wearing. I learned that my Haku Hawaiian flower crown/ lei were made from the official flower of Kaua'i which is the color purple.
This tour is a must!!!

Thank you
Reviewed by: Kathy & Joe Potts, 2010/06/08Just want to tell you that your Rainforest tour yesterday was great. Our guide Paul did a super job. He displayed a good knowledge of the rainforest, and had an easy to listen to way of communicating. Thank you for making our vacation in Kauai memorable. Hope to take another one of your tours in the future.
