Movie Tour
It's a great tour to see the inland. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and nice, so was the driver. Lots of getting off and on the bus to see the beauty of the area. Showed clips of movies and tv shows, which helped put the picture with the area.
I would do it again.

Amazing tour! Ray was our guide and Sandy was our driver. They had so much to share and Ray even added some extra Island details that was fascinating. I would book this tour again and would love to have them show us around.

Movie Tour
Overall good tour. Ray was a good narrator and friendly and helpful. Sandy was the driver and she did her job and was a safe driver. Would recommend we stay for lunch a bit longer. Felt rushed to get back and the area we stopped at to eat was very busy. Not sure why we couldn’t stay longer at Hanalei Ching Young Village because we arrived back to the hotel earlier than the scheduled time.

Princess Cruise Excursion
In Kauai we dod the Hollywood in Hawaii-Movies & Waterfalls excursion. Our Guide was Ray and the driver was Clude, both did a great job. They gave us a list of movies and shows that were filmed on Kauai, plus the larics to a song that we did a group sing to. This tour also included lunch at Kenji Burger, which was very tasty.
This tour included many stops; Wialua Falls, Ahukini Landing, Coco Palms, Opeaka'a Falls, and Kilauea Lighthouse to name a few.
The tour started in Nawiliwili headed north along the east coast of Kauai all the way to Hanalei Bay on the north shore. So beside a good Hollywood tour it is a good island tour.

Aloha Parrottdize,
Thank you for your excellent review and compliments. Ray and Clude work well together sharing their knowledge and Aloha Spirit.
