Secret Kauai Waimea Canyon & Coastlines Private Island Tour with Optional Hike

Sean is the best tour guide we've ever had!!!

Reviewed by: Mann Ohana

My family (wife and 2 daughters, ages 9 & 11) ands I had an absolutely amazing day with Sean touring the west side of Kauai!! We went into the Waimea Canyon and also spent time in Hanapepe, the Kauai Coffee Plantation, the Warehouse for lunch (and shopping...), and even met some friendly chickens (Sean's friends) and enormous sea turtles on Poipu beach! A truly amazing day, all thanks to Sean! He is not only incredibly knowledgable about all things Hawaii (and especially Kauai), but he was a total pleasure to be with and chat with, and he catered to our every need (timing, logistics, tour, drinks/snacks, pics, bathroom breaks, etc.). We definitely look forward to seeing Sean again to tour the rest of the island and will for sure recommend him to everyone we know!! Mahalo!

Great experience!

The tour was a great way to see the southern part of the island and learn a lot of history about the island. Our guide, Rosario, was great. He was knowledgeable, friendly and answered all our questions. I would definitely recommend this tour.

カウアイ島日帰りツアー ワイメア渓谷観光&コケエ州立公園ハイキング&コーヒー農園訪問 <昼食付き/英語ガイド>

スタッフの対応がとてもいいツアーでした

Reviewed by: kamome1114

今回は初めてオアフ島以外の島に来てみました。
海岸やビーチには立ち寄らないツアーでしたが、いろいろな観光スポットに行けて、改めてハワイの自然の豊かさに触れました。
渓谷は絶景ですので、ぜひ見てもらいたいです。
途中、ホノルル行きの飛行機がキャンセルになり、代わりの飛行機の都合で最後の見学場所は見れませんでした。
時間もギリギリの中、ガイドさんと現地スタッフの対応がとてもよく、無事飛行機に乗れました。
ただただ、感謝しかありません。

Oahu to Kauai One Day Tour - Waimea Canyon Tour & Kokee Nature Walk with Lunch

Canyon tour

Reviewed by: Dave

Did a day trip from Oahu to Kauai. So included a couple flights, made for a long day but interesting.

Rosario (driver/leader) was quite knowledgeable, talked about his favourite things and locals, had suggestions for what to eat for lunch at the chicken in a barrel.

Very little hiking. I used this more as a rest day, traveling by bus was easy and Rosario was good with time allocations at each stop.

Stopped at the local blowhole, coffee makers, hanapepe,and various points up the canyon and the lodge at the top.

Would recommend bringing own water, not many places to get, so money for a beer for lunch, and snacks for at the lodge.

This was the first time my family joined me trying SNUBA. Doug was the best instructor and guide ever, very patient with beginners. If you have ever considered trying it, this is the place to try. Being able to see the fish and coral up close is amazing. Thank you Doug and Josh for a highlight of our trip.

Ultimate Kauai Private Island Tour with Expert Guide

A Wonderful Experience and Way to See Kauai

Reviewed by: California tourists

Kevin picked us up at our hotel on time and spent the day showing us the west and south sides of Kauai. He gave us lessons in pronouncing Hawaiian words, the geology of Kauai, and history of Kauai, while driving from viewpoint to viewpoint. He was sensitive to what we were interested in and what types of food we wanted for lunch. We were impressed that he understood the weather patterns, kept a constant watch on the clouds, and was able to get us to the Waimea Canyon and Na Pali coast viewpoints at times when we could see the views.

We had a most enjoyable day and would highly recommend tour guide Kevin and The Ultimate Kauai Private Island Tour - South and West tour.

Ultimate Kauai Private Island Tour with Expert Guide

It struggled to be too comprehensive.

Reviewed by: John

My wife and I had taken guided tours before mainly in the Carribean. On those tours, we stopped for various activities: touring a ruin, lunch on the beach, and a hike through a rainforest. Our guide, Kevin, did an excellent job trying to show us everything (and finding restrooms). The fault was not in the guide but in the attempted scope of the tour. It was six hours of driving and stopping for photos and then more driving. For instance, there were two waterfalls on the tour: One (twin falls) in the great distance and the other along the roadside (blink and you would miss it). It would be better if we could be taken to the trailhead and allowed to hike close to the falls. Or maybe with some preplanning, we could have swum at one of the beaches we stopped at. Although my wife and I are in our 60s and 70s, we are both very active. It was an introduction to the Island but we were exhausted at the end of the six hours.

Susan was fabulous. She was so knowledgeable about the island and great with our kids (ages 5 and 7). She told us history of the island and suggestions on things to do during our stay. When our kids were getting tired and a bit cranky, she went out and got them water and popsicles. This tour was the highlight of our trip!

Kauai Waimea Canyon Sightseeing, Kokee Nature Walk & Coffee Tour with Lunch

Good overview of part of the island - wish we had more time in Waimea Canyon

Reviewed by: Alex

We enjoyed the tour overall but wish we had more time and one or two more stops around the Waimea Canyon. The tour takes in a few different spots across Kauai, but the real highlight is the Canyon. So it's a shame to only get a few different opportunities to stop and take photos. The tour picked us up and dropped us off promptly, and our guide Rosario told us a bit about the island and it's history, which we liked. The lunch provided was better than we expected. If we had the chance again, we would drive to the Waimea Canyon itself to explore it independently. If we had to take a tour again, we would consider this one as we felt overall it was good, if not perfect.

Superb tour!

Reviewed by: LammyP

We thoroughly enjoyed this sightseeing tour, with driver & guide, Kaleo. He was helpful, informative and hilarious! Stories, quips and jokes all day long. We even learned how to pronounce "humuhumunukunukuapua`a"! We saw some highlights of the beautiful island of Kaua`i including the spouting horn blow hole and we were lucky enough to get a clear view of the waimea canyon, before the clouds rolled in! We had a tasty lunch at chicken in a barrell and sampled delicious coffee at the Kaua`i coffee plantation. The trail at the state park is very short and the order of the stops is different to that listed on the veltra site, but regardless we would 100% recommend this tour.

Awesome airplane tour. Great pilot/tour guide.

Reviewed by: Christine

This was a great tour and glad I chose the small airplane ride versus helicopter. Our tour guide was very informative and took note that most of us loved the waterfalls so it appeared he concentrated on this piece with extra attention. There was 6 of us in the group which was the entire plane. Two small children. Our 6 year old was extremely excited and loved the tour. She did get a bit warm in the plane towards the end. Glad we booked this tour!!!

Kauai Waimea Canyon Sightseeing, Kokee Nature Walk & Coffee Tour with Lunch

Breath Taking Views, Relaxing Ride & Delicious Lunch!

Reviewed by: Yuchen

This tour was exactly what we were looking for a full day of sight seeing, lunch and no effort on our part!!

What we experienced:
- Pick Up - we got picked up at 7:30 in the morning by the shuttle and then it went to many other hotels to pick up other passengers. Your time will vary depending on where your hotel is.
- Sights - we got to see all the sights listed on the itinerary including some extras at the beach. We saw the Monk Sealions and Turtles at the beach and that was a bonus treat! The pit stops were the perfect amount of time to hop out to take photos, enjoy the sight and then move on.
- Waimea Canyon - lots of different view points - we got to see it from all around. There was PLENTY of picture ops. This was really a hop on hop off photo tour. So don't expect any hikes or long walks. What I loved is I never had to worry about the parking situation, paying park fees, or the driving obviously. It's perfect for anyone without a car or for cruise go-ers. Even though we had a car rental, I didn't regret not having to do this drive myself. I got to nap on the way back because even though I didn't hike, it still was a long day.
- Lunch - The food exceeded my expectations after reading the reviews (I'm sure the bad experiences were during Covid times). We had huge chicken portions and it was seasoned well and cooked well. The plantation that we ate at was beautiful and relaxing so we enjoyed the lunch break a lot.
- Coffee plantation tour - nice pit stop that we wouldn't have made on our own but enjoyed the op to tag along on this tour.

Our tour guide (so sorry for not remembering his name-Italian man from NJ originally) was great. He gave good history, good info all while he was driving. He had so much knowledge and good recommendations and really funny!!

The tour was exactly what we wanted to explore a large chunk of the island - no stress and no worry on our part.
