What people are saying about Kapaʻa

This tour was the most fun as it took you around to many parts of Kauai, but all the fun facts the guide gave us and all the videos we watched on the tour bus made the time go so quickly. Leoni was a great driver, and Andrew was a wealth of information on the stories behind the movies, as well as the island and culture at large. It’s so important for a tour guide to be an engaging speaker with a good cadence and sense of humor, and Andrew had that in spades. And it was great that the tour was done by 2:00; you still had half a day to yourself. I highly recommend this tour.

Susan was amazing!!!! The food was terrific. She was knowledgeable. They accommodated for me being vegetarian. Great history lesson thrown in and truly magnificent food Would do again!

Wayne was very knowledgeable with many interesting facts, and entertaining as well…Claude was a very good driver and both deserved kudos for a fun experience. Mahalo

This was a great experience. Susan was very knowledgeable and made it fun. All the food was great and abundant. Would highly recommend to anyone staying on Kauai.

Great way to see the island and learn some movie history!
