From the lookout, kayakers and hikers could be seen along the trail. It's a gorgeous view. It's perfect for people to visit who have physical limitations. There are areas to picnic and a public restroom as well. Not too far from the Lihue airport and it's a short stop too. You definitely can plan time to see this before you go to the airport. You can't argue with free!

Y'all will enjoy the photos if nothing else. Aloha! In tribute to not only this one of a kind island but, the entire Hawaiian chain. As 2023 comes to a close,I am humbled by the opportunity to once again experience the unparalleled beauty of this magical place. In a day and age in which everything seems to be traveling at the speed of light,it's time to slow down and reflect on our good fortune. March 2024 Continuing my accolades of Kauai. My experience here gets better each time. After visiting Kauai in 1991 on a multi island tour,I've been back countless times. Going once a year only to be thwarted by the pandemic. Every time I go my self talk goes something like this," God I love this place and am so comfortable here. It's impossible to beat the natural beauty and people but,this is my last trip". And I continue returning. Then I " wake up" and say," what was I thinking"? It's in America,easily accessible,perfect weather. Who am I kidding. There's a reason Billionaires are buying it up. It's getting crowded," trafficie" and It's still America's true paradise. I would be remise if I didn't tell you to.... Go!

This is a beautiful island, with lots to do and see, if money is no object. It definitely is not…read morethe place to go if you are middle class, or have several people/family members in your group. The price gouging. really detracted from our enjoyment. Everything on the island is priced 3-4 times what seems reasonable. Not just talking about the expected tourist markup, not ignoring that so much has to be brought here from the mainland. Two cheese quesadillas and two iced teas for $65 in a simple neighborhood restaurant?! $265 to ride on a boat with a dozen other people? $185 per person for a zip line ride? (minors must be accompanied by a paying parent.) $20 per car and $5 for each passenger to look at the Canyon? And they add 3% to your bill if you use your credit card, so a 20% tip becomes a 23% tip. We wonder where all this money is going? the servers and other frontline workers earn typical mainland minimum wage. they'e earning huge tips from the inflated prices on the food and drink, but someone is pocketing payments for the food. As beautiful as Kauai is, we won't be back. It felt too exploitive.

Why not just put a nice USABLE shoulder there to go along with the road improvements ???

Are you visiting Kauai but don't have a car and want to see Waimea Canyon? Did you book a cruise…read moreand only have one day to see the Na Pali Coast? Maybe you did rent a car but you don't feel super comfortable driving through the canyon? Or maybe you just arrived in Kauai and you aren't familiar with the area and aren't sure where all the best places are?  If you answered yes to any of these questions, then the Kauai Tour Guy is for you!  This was our first visit to Kauai and we really weren't familiar with all the places to see and we knew we could count on Doug to show us around. After we booked our tour, he asked us what we wanted out of the day, so that he could tailor the tour to match exactly what we wanted to see. Doug was so nice and accommodating. Since we were staying right on the way to where he was taking us for our tour, he came by and picked us up on on his way. We hopped into his SUV and we were on our way!  We made multiple stops all along the canyon and Doug took us to see the most amazing sights! If we ever wanted to make an unplanned stop, he was willing to pull over and let us take our time.  Some of the highlights include: Waimea Canyon, Koke'e State Park, a "chocolate river", Cairn Garden, and several beautiful beaches.  Since his tours are tailored to each group, every tour is different depending on what you want to see, which we really appreciated. Although our tour was several hours long, Doug entertained us all along the way. He was so welcoming, personable, and funny and really made for a great day. At one stop, we decided to walk down the trail a bit and even though this isn't a hiking tour, he was happy to let us have our fun! One thing we especially liked about this tour compared to some of the other ones available, is that its a small private tour. It was just our group and Doug. We liked that we weren't in a huge tour bus with a million other people. Because it's only a small group tour, it was easier to stop whenever we wanted and to change course, like when we got hungry for lunch for example :) Doug also took some great photos of us along the way and we didn't have ask any strangers to take our photo. We highly recommend this tour, especially if you are wanting to see the stunning views of the canyon and don't have a car or prefer not to drive, if you want a personalized tour, or if you only have one day to see the best of Kauai!

He knew so much about the island and his love of it really shone through. If you're Canadian, be sure to mention it so you can connect with him through WhatsApp prior to your tour. He took us to the BEST lunch, we were all super happy with it (Tony's Catch food truck fyi) and the island is just spectacular. One thing we appreciated is that he didn't just take us to look at beautiful sites, he explained the history and significance of them. It was such a good experience. Our only disappointment was that we only had the one day and wish we could've done his second day tour! I guess we will have to visit again :) We highly recommend this!
