Great trip!

5.00We had a great time in Kauai. Great communication with Elizabeth. She picked us up right at the Cruise Terminal for our tour. We went to all the stops plus a few stops she thought we would enjoy. All the stops were beautiful Canyons, waterfalls, beaches with turtles, swinging bridge etc. Elizabeth is full of knowledge of Hawaii and very pleasant. She also provided snacks and bottled water for us. It was a great trip. We would definitely do any tour with Elizabeth and recommend this tour to everyone!

A Perfect Kauai Shore Excursion

5.00We had a truly wonderful day exploring Kauai with Elizabeth. She picked us up right at the cruise port in her very comfortable car, making the logistics seamless. The tour itself was spectacular—we saw everything from breathtaking long-range views and crashing waterfalls to unique native plants (and, of course, the famous Kauai chickens!). Lunch at Koke’e Lodge was a highlight; the farm-to-table food was fresh and delicious. To top it all off, Elizabeth treated us to her incredible homemade fresh-baked macadamia nut bread for dessert. It was a delightful, personal touch to a perfect day. If you want a stress-free, authentic Kauai experience, Elizabeth is the one to call!
Wonderful tour and an amazing tour guide!

5.00Elizabeth was amazing. An absolutely seamless and wonderful experience! Pick up from the cruise dock was perfect. We went to the designated pick up point and texted her. She met us there within 2 minutes. Elizabeth gave both of us a wonderful experience. Great information and highlights, safe and comfortable vehicle, she happily took many pictures of us and made sure that we experienced everything highlighted in the tour and returned us to the cruise dock well before sailing. I highly recommend Elizabeth and this tour. A truly memorable experience!
Excellent tour and especially our tour guide.

5.00The weather was extremely iffy the day of our tour and Elizabeth gave us options since it was pretty likely the views of the canyon wouldn’t be good. We reassured her that we were fine with chancing it and were rewarded with amazing views everywhere we went. It turned out that there was a small window of good weather and we hit it! Elizabeth was a lot of fun and extremely knowledgeable. The macadamia nut banana bread was so delicious too
Best tour of the week in Hawaii!

5.00Elizabeth is a very knowledgeable and pleasant tour guide. She was punctual and extremely informative on the Hawaiian History. Her Ford Expedition was Spotless. Her Banana Bread Blows away every other one we've tried on every Island! Very Efficient with how much you get to see in a 6 hour period.
