So glad we hooked up with our driver & tour guide, John Mages! It was our last day on Kauai, but our flight did not leave until 11:00 p.m. Didn't know what to do all day with no transportation, so we booked a tour with Luxury Transportation and were lucky enough to get John as our driver. We knew we wanted to see the canyon, but didn't have any other ideas. John gave us a great tour of the canyon and a lot more. He had lots of ideas and sugguestions, which we took advantage of. His tour of the south and east side of Kauai was educational and entertaining. Loved hearing all his stories and sharing our life stories with him. We definately saw the Best of Kauai or as he would say "more better"! We all recommend Kauai Luxury Transportation & Tours - Thank you John. The Missouri Seven.

We did a private tour today with our guide, Domi. It was a great way to not only see the island spots but also learn a ton about the history! It was a perfect way to spend a day. Domi adjusted quickly when not only rain changed our plans but also closures due to COVID-19. This is the way to see the island!

Toured with Domi, best Guide we have ever had anywhere. Taught us a lot about Kauai and kept things fun and entertaining all day. He even serenaded us with his Eukelele at lunch. Can't say enough good about Domi and this tour company.

The late great Howard Cossell was usually the Most Loved and simultaneously the Most Hated sportscaster in his heyday. I wonder what the tour would have been like with Domo? Our leader was a polarizing figure as he had some very strong social, political, religious ideas that offended both my wife and me. It would have been one thing to drop a questionable remark here and there, but it was non-stop amplified commentary, mostly about where he went to school and who he used to date and where the original highway used to run, stuff like that. I didn't learn a thing about the history of Kauai or its geological make-up or the flora and fauna.
There were six couples on our tour and two others joined us at the concierge desk at the Bali Hai to express our displeasure. That being said there were a few people on the bus who laughed at everything he said. The closest I can come to describing him is a cross between Rodney Dangerfield and Henny Youngman ("Good evening sir. You have a lovely wife there . . . if that is indeed your wife wink wink har har har").
I would have tolerated the guide but what seemed underhanded to me was that the tour began at our hotel on a pretty rainy morning. As soon as the four couples got in the van THEN the guide called the boat tour and the airplane tour to see if they were still on, which of course they weren't, but at that point we were trapped. While the boat tour did happen the plane was cancelled, the traffic delays prevented us from going to the lighthouse, and the "local" restaurant was a crappy Mexican place.
We booked the plane trip ourselves at a later date. The boat tour is right off the main highway and is pretty silly, anyway. The lighthouse is right off the main highway. We didn't get any price break other than paying this joker to drive us around in the rain for 7 hours.
I post this after much consideration. Travel can be tiring and stressful, and expectations are often high. It is, after all, our vacation, and Hawaii isn't the cheapest place to visit. That being said I'd put this in the Rip Off category.

We had a bit of a different experience on Kauai. We booked the Land and River tour before our trip started. We later booked a River and Air tour on our cruise ship to get the helicopter ride, so we ended up with the same ground trip twice.
Domi was our driver the 2nd day. He was awesome. Highly recommended.
We had Steve on our first day. On the plus side, Steve was very accommodating. He picked up and dropped off guests at a variety of locations. He took the time to learn and remember everyone's name and where we were from. The tour locations were great, many beautiful spots.
The negatives pretty much ruined the tour for my girlfriend and I, although they might be positives for some folks. Steve took pride in being politically incorrect, making a number of racist and sexist comments throughout the trip. He made comments about how his nature might hurt his tips but he said he was too old to care.
If you are looking for a tour where half the trip is about the driver's experiences on the island, past work history, and run ins with famous people, 1/4 of the trip is about his right wing political and conservative religious views, and 1/4 of the trip is about the island, then Steve is the driver for you. The rest of the folks in our tour were pretty conservative, so they seemed to enjoy his comments about "Slick Willy Clinton", "That lying crook Hillary", "The angry Hawiians", and the like. The rest of the guests comments likely spurred Steve on more.
Personally, I take a guided tour to learn about the area I am visiting. It was a lovely area, but our experiences with Steve were definitely the low point of our 10 days on the various Hawiian Islands.
I'd give Domi's tour a 4. Steve's is getting a 2, up from a 1 only because of the beautiful spots we visited.

We were recommended this tour highly by family. They traveled with Domi and had nothing but good things to say. We had someone other than Domi, and I wouldn't recommend this tour with him (Steve? I think). During the course of the tour he made inappropriate comments about people on the tour, joked that an asian man was named "George" because it was easier, he made inappropriate and offensive comments about Muslims when we saw people with headscarves on the tour, and overall was unpleasant. If you do this tour, specify you go with Domi. If he is unavailable, don't go

The tour was wonderful and each site beautiful, but not enough time was allowed for true enjoyment of any. More time could have been spent at the sites instead of the "Junk Shop."

Domi is great! He picked us up from where we were staying and then we picked up more passengers. Along the way to the Fern Grotto part of the tour, he told us a lot about the history of the island. As a local, he was very informative.
After the Fern Grotto tour, we drove through Kapaa' and had a fabulous lunch. We then proceeded north on our tour. We stopped at Domi's house and we were able to feed his pig! Domi also gave us guava from his own tree.
Domi was so friendly and funny. I love how even though we had a schedule to keep, he wasn't rude or trying to rush us. Instead, he allowed us to enjoy our adventure and took pictures of us along the way!

We have been coming to Kapa'a, Kauai for years and at least once a time went to the morning presentation. At the presentation Domi talks about his tour. Have had several conversations with him and even been to his house to feed his pet wild boar, Omar. Finally took his tour today and my wife and I loved it. Told of all his favorite local food places, history of Kauai and myths and folklore of Kauai. It's at least 5 hours and worth the money and time.

Our guide for the day was John. He arrived on time to pick us up when we arrived in port. Because it was raining on and off he asked if we minded being flexible with our day (route) and we assured him it was fine. He was personable, professional, and, a great driver. We made all the stops we hoped to, and a few unexpected ones, and the rain showers only enhanced our day by giving us some beautiful rainbows to cherish as memories from our perfect day!

Do you pick up at Nawiliwili port? NCL Pride of America
Yes, we can pick up passengers at the ABC Store who are coming in on the Pride of America. It is a 5-10 minute walk out of the port or you can take a free shuttle.
