    This private tour was an excellent way to start off our week long visit to the Garden Island. Doug provided such an informative and well paced tour of the Waimea Canyon/South & West side of Kauai. He clearly loves the island and is knowledgeable on the best scenic spots. We were comfortably driven to all the beautiful sites with commentary, captured gorgeous panoramic photos, enjoyed a surprisingly tasty meal for lunch, signed the autograph tree, and ended with a sweet treat-a blended coffee drink called a McDoug. Touring this way is ideal. Everyone gets to sit back and relax and enjoy the sights and stories instead of worrying about driving, navigation, or trying to look up everything. Highly recommend!

    We are so grateful to have found Kauai Tour Guy! Doug was a wonderful guide that took us to amazing and beautiful spots around the island. We definitely recommend the 2-day tour to see all the various sites. It's definitely worth it! Having Doug allowed is to sit back, and soak it all in without worrying about traffic, directions, or parking!

    The positive reviews for the Rum Safari sucked me in, and the experience did not disappoint! The…read moreRum Guys, Bruce and Tanji, led us on a delightful journey through Kilohana Plantation with detailed info on the history, animals, and plant life there at the plantation. We especially enjoyed touring the orchard, including the banana slap experience (!!!), and learning about different types of fruits that can grow in the Kauai climate. The rum tasting also did not let us down. We sampled different flavors of Koloa Rum (the safari and the Rum Guys are unaffiliated with Koloa Rum, which had a separate tasting room and shop on site), followed by a Mai Tai and an additional fresh cocktail. Bruce and Tanji were excellent guides and comedians, delighting my whole party, which contained a range of ages and senses of humor. My uncle was really impressed with their ability to read the room and crack exactly the right jokes to make all of us laugh. They were also incredibly informative and provided local tips on where to go (and where to avoid) next. Mahalo, Rum Guys!!

The real stars of the tour were the guides, aka the Rum Guys. They were fun, fantastic, and truly made the entire experience unforgettable. Incredibly knowledgeable, hilarious, and full of personality, they kept the energy high from beginning to end. They shared fascinating behind-the-scenes details about the rum-making process, told great stories, and made everyone feel completely at ease. If you are visiting Kauai, this is an absolute must. Best tour we went on, 10/10, and one of the most fun things we have ever done in Hawaii. Huge thanks to the Rum Guys for an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend.

My advice, don't have a strict schedule that is based around the bus times because the bus runs on its own schedule, not what is posted. Always follow where the bus is, especially on the weekends, because having to wait another 1-2 hours for the next bus is not ideal. Not much seating, but there was never not enough seats. I can see why they don't advertise the bus to tourists.

    Thank you ! We didn't get a car this trip and we took the bus, or should I say buses everywhere …read more As a Sr our fare was $2.5 round trip each. A far cry from the $130 a day + gas fee for a car. But that's just the monetary benefit. The real benefits beyond environmental or adding to the congested roads was meeting people. We talked to such wonderful representatives of the island, found new places and saw a different side of life beyond the hotel on Kauai. The drivers were kind and helpful. The passengers engaging and on one occasion a young man gave up his seat for me to sit down on a full bus. (Note that was the only time we had any problem getting a seat on the bus too! ) So I would highly recommend the bus, Am a fan and will continue to be a rider when ever we are on Island. Thank you for your service. And thank you for the wonderful App that gives schedules, directions as well as tracks where the buses are.

Bart did not share any history about the island. He only shared movie/tv knowledge. He did not share any cultural or historical knowledge. Don't waste your money or time! If you have a rental car, you can see everything for yourself. We paid for the "Ultimate Kaiya Private Tour, " which cost our family $1600.00 (with tip). The ONLY reason we tipped is because we feel it's important to support the local economy, and as I shared Bart was a nice guy. We did contact the business about our concerns, and they gave us a canned response telling us that they will tell Bart to do better. Hence the reason I am taking it to this review so that others can be warned. We feel we were dupped and that this business has unethical practices.

We'd never done anything like this before, but from the moment we arrived, the team made us feel completely at ease. During our tour, the guides mentioned that the same company that designs ski lifts across the country engineered their zip lines -- that alone boosted our confidence in the safety and professionalism of the entire setup. You can tell they take their safety protocols seriously, without sacrificing any of the fun. The tour includes five incredible zip lines with breathtaking views -- you're literally flying across the same backdrops used in movies like Jurassic Park and Indiana Jones. It's unreal. One of the highlights was the 25-foot-deep swimming hole, complete with a mini zip line that lets you zip and splash right into the water. Our daughters loved it, and honestly, so did we! A massive shoutout to our guides -- Julia, Zeek, and Ryker. They were fun, knowledgeable, and created a super positive, relaxed environment that made the entire experience unforgettable. If you're visiting Kauai and want something adventurous, beautiful, safe, and genuinely memorable, I highly recommend Outfitters Kauai. We'll be talking about this day for years.

One company kept popping-up with fantastic reviews, no matter which site was providing the reviews (Google, Yelp, Facebook, etc.). This company is located and founded in Kauai and is named Noh's Ark. Noah's Ark tours are conducted by the owner, Noah. Noah uses a Toyota Minivan. The van is fantastic with plenty of room. There was six on our tour and we never felt cramped in the van. What's great about Noah's tour is that he will customize your tour to what you want to see. Or you can leave it all in Noah's hands for what to see in Kauai. I can honestly say that Noah lived up to all his good reviews on the Internet. Noah is a fantastic guide. He has all the qualities you want in a good tour guide. He is knowledgeable about the area; he is blessed with the gift of gab, and he is a schoolteacher. What more could you want in a tour guide? Not only does he know the history of Kauai like a history teacher, but he also has plenty of stories about his personal experiences on the island. It's a great combination of information and makes your day seem like you're hanging out with one of your local island buddies. We had a great time with Noah during out tour of Kuai. Confident you will too! We all highly recommend Noah's Ark if you're on Kauai looking for a fun day of sightseeing.

    I am writing this review to warn potential customers about our encounter with a racist employees…read moreworking for this company who told my wife to "go back to India where you come from." I was driving with my family up Highway 505 to view the Waimea Canyon. Since this is an extremely windy road with lots of switch backs and sharp bends, the speed limit was 25 mph. The M. Tours Hawaii (MTH) tour bus was driving behind us most of the way up to the canyon. After parking at the first scenic lookout, the MTH bus driver started yelling at me for driving too slow. When I explained that I was driving the speed limit, her response was that I should be driving 5-10 miles over the limit. Because she was being confrontational, but I walked away (as she kept yelling at me) to join my family and enjoy the beautiful of the scenery of the canyon. Returning to our car, we noticed the MTH driver pulled into a handicap spot, the only one available at the lookout. My wife walked over to the bus and notified the driver that she had parked in the handicap spot. The MTH driver replied: "You know what? Why don't you go back to India where you come from!" This infuriated everyone in our party, but we felt we would take the high road and moved on. Then I had another encounter with the MTH driver further down the road at the Waimea Canyon Lookout: the MTH driver was yucking it up with the folks at the fruit stand retelling the story. She knew I was easily within earshot and could hear everything because she was staring me in the eyes, glaring, when I walked by. I'm disappointed in the fruit stand folks for finding the "go back to where you come from" comment so funny. One last thing I wanted to point out: the driver was smoking inside the tour bus which is illegal in the state of Hawaii. It's pretty selfish to expose your customers to second and third hand smoke, if you ask me. I did attempt to call the company and even texted the number listed on the internet but did not receive a reply. Kauai is a beautiful location with many friendly people living there, and I won't let this incident ruin my experience. But it is disheartening to know that even in paradise there will still be ignorant, hateful people. For this reason, I would think twice about using this tour company.
