Superb Shasta
Shasta was the best tour guide! I truly loved getting to spend the day learning about Kauai, asking questions, and being with a group that had the same interests. Shasta made the tour fun, exciting, and had amazing recommendations. My favorite stop was Holoholoku Heiau and learning who Ku was. As I was leaving, I found a rock in the shape of a heart. <3

Phenomenal experience on this tour!
We had the most incredible experience on the Kaua’i Legends Tour, and it was truly made unforgettable by our amazing tour guide-Shasta! From the moment we started, she was so fun, warm, and personable—it felt like exploring the island with a longtime friend. The conversation flowed effortlessly the entire time, filled with local insight, stories, and plenty of laughs.
What really set this tour apart were the thoughtful, authentic stops along the way. We got to enjoy fresh coconut and delicious sugarloaf pineapple smoothies from local stands—such a treat and something we never would have found on our own! The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, with stunning waterfalls and gorgeous beach stops that felt straight out of a postcard.
One of the biggest highlights was seeing wildlife up close—we were lucky enough to spot monk seals and sea turtles in their natural habitat, which was such a special and memorable experience.
This tour was the perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, and genuine connection. If you’re visiting Kaua’i, this is an absolute must-do—and if you’re lucky enough to get Shasta as your guide, you’re in for something truly special!

Fun, Entertaining, Educational Tour
Our guide and driver were great! Shasta was very informative, engaging and fun! Ponahu was fantastic as well, and we learned so much about Hawaiian culture, language and historical details from a multi-generational Hawaiian native. The stops and photo ops were great as well. We loved everything about this tour!
