Getting to Harbor Mall from the cruise ship was no problem since there were multiple shuttles going to the mall (that was 5 minutes away from the cruise terminal). I highly recommend this tour and Trolley Stop Tours!!!

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.

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!

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.

It was raining when we had our tour. The boat is covered and when you're in the fern grotto there are so many overhanging trees that we didn't even feel the rain. This boat tour was very relaxing and informative. The boat moved at a slow pace - even my husband who has motion sickness was able to enjoy this boat ride. On the way to the fern grotto there are stories of places you're passing as well as Hawaiian and festive (it was the holiday time) songs. It's a family run organization and many generations are involved in this tour. On the way back home there are more songs and dances and everyone gets to learn how to dance the hula. You get to disembark the boat and take a short walk to the fern grotto. What a beautiful place! So much greenery. The only way to get to this grotto is from this boat tour, so it is a peaceful and uncrowded place. We're glad we took this tour and recommend it as a fun and low stress activity on the island. It's good for all ages. There is plenty of free parking. Free cold water is available on the boat.

Just note, if you want to do a free rum tasting, which is a separate business at the building next door, they close at 5:00p and you will need to book online for the free rum tasting, and not just walk in with no reservations. You get a tour on the train of the entire gardens and see a variety of plants and trees. The highlight was the stop to feed the animals. You throw tortillas at piggies, and feed hay to the horses, cows and goats. The horses are so friendly, they eat out of my hand. Since we couldn't get a reservation for free rum tasting, we just paid $27 or $28 for the rum tasting at the restaurant on site. The rums are superb. See separate review for the restaurant.
