It was awesome. The tour guides at Kauai Island Shuttle definitely went the extra mile! I have never experienced any company operation in the tourism industry that is such attention to detail and passionate about what they do, may I add pleasant throughout. Our Guide showed us more of Kauai than we bargained for and detailed the rich history of the 5 million year island. I have been on over 100 excursions and have NEVER reviewed. I guess that says it all.

Of all the options to tour Kauai and the canyons we wanted a smaller group to tour with. John is extremely knowledgeable and got us front row parking to most places. We were able to take our time and control the pace of our stops without waiting on crowds. It was the best investment. We took this tour early in our time on the island to learn where the best places to snorkel and spend time on the rest our trip!!

Don’t hesitate to book this tour , when you read private it’s private. It was my husband and I , and our guide John . Our guide took us to places a tour bus can’t go . He knows the history of the island and is full of information and great stories. We took the tour at the beginning of our trip so we could get an idea of what else to do in the island . The Canyon was amazing , the waterfall and countless other beautiful sights .. he even stops for you to have lunch in recommended places ( not included in price of tour ) . If you really want to see this beautiful island and get to know it , don’t hesitate.

Our guide was John. He was very knowledgeable and entertaining. We didn't think we wanted the full tour, but went anyway. We were so amazed at all the things we saw and learned about. The day just flew by. He took us to the best vantage points for pictures, etc. Took routes that the tour buses can't take. We ate authentic bbq food for lunch. He took us to some excellent shops for souvenirs. Saw a monk seal and sea turtles. A real delight was the spouting horn. Loved the Poipu beach area. Our time ran over, but he didn't rush us. Everything exceeded our expectations and was the highlight of our trip. Don't miss this one.
