Gray was a great tour guide
Gray was a fantastic tour guide of the island. He’s lived there a long time and knows a lot about the history and flora and fauna. He’s funny and entertaining to boot!

NE Kauai Private tour with Orlando was great
Very enjoyable day stopping to see or quickly explore various locations on North and east side of Kauai. Orlando met us right inside the harbor (we arrived in Pride of America) and we were quickly on our way in a very comfortable car. He drove very responsibly and provided lots of information about each location and highlights as we drove. They even modified the schedule when we wanted to walk out to the lighthouse at the Kilauea Lighthouse Wildlife Refuge as opposed to just stopping at overlook. When we stopped, Orlando typically gave an overview of the area and snapped a picture of us. Very pleasant tour!

Kuaui’s 2nd to none ambassador and friendly guide … Scott … of Kuau’i Luxury Tours 😎👍
Scott picked us up at Pono Kai in a beautiful Ford Expedition and took us on a phenomenal tour of eastern shore Wailua, and Kapaa, and then north coast to Princeville and Hanalei. We floated the Wailua river up to the fern grotto with the kind and talented Smith Family. We then saw from the ridgeline overlooking the Wailua R and ‘Opaeka’a Falls. All along the tour Scott shared his love and knowledge of the beautiful sights and people of Hawaii. He is so proud of his gorgeous songbird wife Kiana! We felt welcomed and pampered as Scott took us to a fun lunch at Chicken in a Barrel Kapaa. Scott is a good friend to all he meets … highest recommendation for this gracious, caring, knowledgeable Kuau’i ambassador to visitors looking to learn about and deeply appreciate Kuaui and its people.

Great experience
You have alot of fixablity to decide what to see. Driver was very knowledgeable as to the history of the Island and it's residents. since the roads are narrow, it was nice having the driver plan the routes.

Scott G is the best
Scott G was the best! He treated us like family and was great with history, local stories and accommodations for a van with 6 grandkids.

Exceptional Tour of the Island
This was an excellent overview of the island. Our guide, Orlando, was personable and had a wealth of local knowledge about the island and the sights we saw. Highlights were an excellent Poke Bowl for lunch and seeing whales spout and breech. I heartily recommend this company and our guide.

private tour of the island but no needed as private tours you can usually go to your selections but this was just $
Really nice tour guide but I could have done the same trip with a group tour as all the places I told them I wanted to go were not provided but a great tour guide aside from that
