John was our scuba expert and my two daughters and I were novices so we went through an orientation and practice dive with him. We enjoyed our boat ride to the sites and our Captain was a great guide and helped us get views of sea turtles, whales and dolphins. He also explained the coastline and made sure we got good photos! The first dive we were more focused on our breathing but still managed to see a lot of incredible fish! On the second dive we were more relaxed and able to focus on our beautiful surroundings . The sea turtles were so close we could have touched them (illegal though!) . I felt like I was part of Finding Nemo with all the fabulous fish we saw! We saw a starfish, trumpetfish, reef triggerfish, pennant butterfly fish, white spotted toby, yellow stripe goatfish, etc. It was wonderful to be in such a surreal environment . I’ve had scuba diving on my bucket list for around 40 years- We did it. I will never forget this adventure, John and the Crew from Seasport Divers that it all happen!

Great experience from checking in to touchdown landing. Pilot was friendly and informative. He made sure passengers on both sides of plane received good views. And they were spectacular views! Flight lasted about 75 minutes. Well worth the price. This tour surpassed my expectations. I highly recommend Air Venture Tours.

Learning to surf with Jared at Kauai Surf School was an amazing experience. My husband and I took our 4 and 6 year old kids for a group lesson. We all got up on the board! Jared was extremely patient with the kids and was great at explaining the process to them on land first. He was also very encouraging with the kids. This was a highlight of our trip and something the kids keep talking about. Would highly recommend!

First, our driver/guide Orlando was simply amazing. He was quite knowledgeable and helpful. Orlando’s sense of humor kept us relaxed and laughing. Orlando picked us up right on time. We mentioned to him we would need frequent restroom stops. Not only was he accommodating but he was very picky about where he stopped being conscious of cleanliness. Speaking of cleanliness, our vehicle was spotless and very comfortable. We loved his guidance and took him to lunch. I cannot recommend this tour more highly. When you book, be sure to ask for Orlando!

This experience is a really good sightseeing tour. We covered about 1/2 of the island Kauai from the south, the west, and the north side from about 9a-4p.The places we stopped were great and the were plenty of bathroom breaks! I did think there would be more hiking involved because of the description. There is a nature trail at Koke’e State Park that is nice. Our guide was a native Hawaiian with great stories to tell!
The shops in Hanapepe were fun to shop at! We loved the swinging bridge there! And, the stop at the coffee farm was great with amazing coffee to be taste tested and purchased. You could also see the coffee beans being grown on the trees! It was a fun trip!

I had the worst experience on this tour, had to wait about an hour and a half for the driver to do a food pick up and then wasted an extra hour plus just idling at a pic nic site after everyone had finished eating their lunch, while we speeded through all the main sights and barely had time to take photos of the breathtaking Waimea Canyon!!!!! Poor timing would be an understatement. It was my last day on Kauai and wish I had found another tour company to see Waimena Canyon!

My wife was reluctant to try scuba. These guys taught us we'll and quickly. They made it all so easy. They took great care of us and really made sure we enjoyed our time. We loved every minute and didn't want it to end!
The water was choppy when we went out, and I am usually not prone to motion sickness, but I did feel sick in the boat (but not underwater!). I'd recommend some good motion sickness medicine for the boat ride.

This tour was absolutely wonderful! It was my family’s first visit to Kauai and it was overwhelming seeing all the activities that are available on the island. We settled for this as a way to see a lot of the main sights and it was the PERFECT way to spend the day! We had Kana’e (sp?) as our guide and she was absolutely a joy to spend the day with. She talked stories with us, shared her culture with us and told us all the places to go for our trip! The sights were gorgeous and we recommend this to anyone who is visiting for the first time!!

The tour was at an easy pace and covered the West side of the island concluding with spectacular views and vantage points of Waimea Canyon. Our driver Rosario was thorough with explanations, local trivia, and very personable to everyone. The pickup and drop offs from the hotels were punctual. The lunch was also good as were the local stops in Hanapepe and Waimea. Each stop including those of Waimea Canyon allowed for plenty of time to use the facilities, investigate the area, and take plenty of photos. The tour bus had plenty of space, and was air conditioned and comfortable. I would recommend this tour for any visitors to the Garden Isle!

She was so informative and had such a deep love and respect for her island and also for the tourists that are visiting here and falling in love with it as well.

Had a wonderful private tour of the main attractions of the island. Simon was amazing and made the tour an absolute joy for us. We were looking for something with a pick up and drop off, as we could not manage to snag a rental car and this was perfect. Learnt a lot about the history and culture of the island as we drove around the different parts. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a lovely, laid-back and well informed tour of the island with a great guide.

We had a great time doing this. The guys were super friendly and relaxed and nice. My brother and I had some experience with scuba, but our kids--ages 16, 13 and 11--did not. It was a quick orientation and we were in the water. We walked right in off the beach. The kids did great. My son had a little trouble being comfortable breathing through a regulator, but still enjoyed it. He just stayed up closer to the surface. The other two had no difficulty with it at all. I was actually surprised at all the different fish we saw. It's not like you're swimming with hundreds of fish all around you, but that's just not available in an outing like this. But it was a great experience that all of us enjoyed and it didn't have to be an all-day commitment.

This was an excellent way to explore the ocean without having experience in scuba diving. Kevin was patient, informative, and an overall great guide. My only advice is to consider the excursion before committing. The water can be a bit rough and there is a good deal of information to consider. My wife backed out at the last minute but she was also on the fence about going in the first place. My 15 and 11 year old had a great time as did I.

We were lucky enough to get a private tour because nobody else signed up for the snuba tour that morning. The currents were a little tougher than we would’ve liked, but the experience was fabulous. Jared was a great guide and very patient. I had some trouble keeping my mask sealed and with buoyancy. He was a great coach and never lost patience. I had really wanted to see an octopus and it was clear he was looking for them and although we didn’t see one, I appreciated the effort. I would definitely go back again, and am looking forward to trying to get my SCUBA certification when I get home. Thanks Jared for such a great experience!

We had Kevin and Jared lead our snuba diving experience. They were extremely friendly and knew everyone in our group on a first name basis. My wife and I were a little nervous before arriving because we had never done anything like this before. The experience was amazing! It was easy to breathe under water and Kevin and Jared provided all kinds of tips for getting water out of your goggles, breathing, communicating, swimming, ear pressure relief and more. I would go back in a heartbeat. The tour is also led by a guide (Kevin). He points out creatures and picks them up (if possible/safe) along the way. He also swam slow to allow you to explore and not get exhausted. The guides are constantly checking on you throughout the entire trip. FIVE STARS!

Not sure how I would manage this new activity, I met a very encouraging and knowledgeable instructor who gave just the right amount of information to set me free with snorkel gear and tank in tow. I never looked back (or up). 60 minutes under water watching beautiful fish and sea creatures. My instructor nearby in case I should panic or need help (not the case), and then playing show and tell with us. Just a true joy and a great vacation memory. Thank you Kevin!
