This was a beautiful tour. The setup was a little weird. We met our guide at a bakery and then rode with him in his beat up truck. Guide was very nice, but conversation heavily involved anti “first world” beliefs and conspiracy theories about the government’s plans to keep the Hawaiian people down by introducing meth to Kauai (he was not Polynesian for the record). We are very open minded people and tried not to let the oddities of the tour detract from the beauty of the canyon and our otherwise very thorough tour. That said, I would not book this again.We chose to do this tour on our first full day on Kawai. My husband and I were traveling with his 82 year old parents (his mom 3 months out from a hip replacement), so we requested that the "hiking" be super easy. I spoke with our tour guide Jenny ahead of time, letting her know of the limitation...
We chose to do this tour on our first full day on Kawai. My husband and I were traveling with his 82 year old parents (his mom 3 months out from a hip replacement), so we requested that the "hiking" be super easy. I spoke with our tour guide Jenny ahead of time, letting her know of the limitations with our group and she did a wonderful job of showing us the highlights while 100% accommodating the mobility restrictions! This day was one of the highlights of our two week trip to Hawaii and all due to Jenny's outstanding treatment of all of us, especially my MIL! Mahalo!!Gorgeous scenery and birds. Easy hiking. Fantastic guide (Bright--his name)!
