5.00My family and I had a wonderful day out in Kauai with our tour driver/guide Elizabeth. We were picked up on time. The vehicle was clean and comfortable. Elizabeth was a very knowledgeable and personable. She new the detailed history of the sites we were visiting, knew all the key photo op spots to stop at, knew the places to eat and to shop. It was a very enjoyable day and I would certainly book with her again and recommend her to anyone who asked me what to do in Kauai.

5.00Elizabeth was the perfect tour guide for our family. Her SUV was immaculately clean and spacious. She tailored her tour for my mom’s limited mobility, so we were all able to enjoy the sights. Elizabeth knew SO MUCH about the island’s history and geography, the whole family was engaged throughout the 5 hour tour. I am so glad I found her on Viator, I’d recommend her to anyone.
Most Amazing Tour ever!

5.00What a treat to spend a day with Elizabeth exploring the unforgettable Waimea Canyon! Elizabeth is so warm & friendly and has so much local knowledge to share. She took us to so many gorgeous spots with breathtaking views, always making sure to take the perfect photo of us with unforgettable backdrops. Elizabeth was so flexible, customizing the day to our preferences. If you want to see the best the island has to offer & learn so much along the way, go in comfort with Elizabeth.Super comfortable vehicle. The tour was so wonderful that we booked Elizabeth again 4 days later to tour the rest of the island ( Northshore tour). We feel blessed to have seen the incredible beauty of the entire island with such a lovely lady. Highly recommend!!!
Absolutely Amazing!

5.00A truly unforgettable experience! We had the absolute pleasure of touring Waimea Canyon with Elizabeth, and it was one of the highlights of our trip to Kauai. She was incredibly engaging, funny, and warm, especially with my 11 and 13-year-old kids, who were captivated the entire 6 hour tour (no small feat!). They loved learning about the island’s history, feeding the chickens, and of course, the homemade banana bread was a hit. The views were breathtaking, but what made the experience so special was Elizabeth’s deep knowledge, personal touch, and genuine aloha spirit. It felt like exploring the island with a friend. We would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend supporting this wonderful woman-owned business. Mahalo, Elizabeth, we’ll always remember this day!
Great experience!!!

5.00Elizabeth was an amazing guide! The information she passed along was thorough and interesting. Four of us went for a hike with Elizabeth. We were so happy to have a guide to navigate the trail. She was able to take us in closer to the part of the trail that was scenic and beautiful. Watching others try to navigate it on their own made us appreciate her guidance and support. The extras were the topping on the cake. Great clean and comfortable SUV, ginger lemonade and homemade banana, chocolate chip, macadamia nut bread were delicious!!!
Highly recommend!

5.00We took this tour our first morning in Kauai. It was a perfect way to start our vacation. Elizabeth was great and gave us a wonderful tour of the west side of the island. Enough history and background to give us a feel for the island and its people. She was also helpful in pointing out what we should do for the rest of our time on Kauai. As there were seven of us, I was a little concerned about fitting into one vehicle but it was very comfortable. Even the last row had plenty of leg space and it was easy to get in and out. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and the time spent with Elizabeth.
Breathtaking Views

Two unforgettable days on Kauaʻi !

5.00We had such an incredible experience with Elizabeth as our guide—professional, warm, and full of aloha. We booked two separate tours with her on different days, and each one was absolutely worth it! Every detail was thoughtfully planned, yet the experience felt relaxed and personal throughout. She picked us up right on time in a spotless, brand-new Ford Expedition that was incredibly comfortable for island cruising. You can tell she takes great pride in what she does—from the pristine vehicle to the seamless pacing and insightful storytelling. The Waimea Canyon views were jaw-dropping, and Elizabeth knew all the best spots, hidden gems, and history that brought it all to life. She kept us refreshed and comfortable all day long—we just got to soak in the beauty of Kauaʻi. If you want to experience the island with someone who truly knows and loves it, book with Elizabeth. We’re so glad we did—twice!
