About
I've spent the past 17 years assisting thousands of grateful guests, exceeding their wildest expectations while I steered them toward the best of everything that Kauai has to offer. Now I have tailored all of my research and experience into my updated Kauai Top Picks List of 2023 activities and adventures for you to make the most of your time and money during your visit. The list gives you 24/7 online access to my guide for island-wide options like the perfect venues for romantic walks, blissful massage, the finest restaurants, unsurpassed hikes with breathtaking views, bountiful botanical gardens or simply time to unwind and take in the sweeping scenery during your unscheduled leisure hours. I update the list regularly with local pop-up activities, festivals and other current events. No one can pay to be on my list - they have to earn it. The list evolves as the cream rises to the "top." - Mahalo

Contact Stephanie 1 month out prior to your vacation. She will hook you up with the best recommendations and reservations on the island. Easy to work with and professional. Made our trip way better than it would have been without her advice.

We just had our first Hawaiian Christmas on Kauai. We could not have asked for a better trip! Stephanie was an awesome host. She went above and beyond to make our Christmas special by personally fitting our beautiful AirBNB condo with lights, candles and other Christmas decorations. Stephanie also recommend local favorites such as the farmers market in Hanalei. On Christmas she recommended an absolutely stunning beach walk for us. Our Kauai Christmas was perfect because of Stephanie!! She is extremely knowledgeable and very responsive. I highly recommend using Stephanie to help plan your vacation on Kauai.

We unexpectedly used Stephanie for a last minute trip to Kauai last month. It was the best decision I made! She was so responsive! She had a ton of great ideas for my family and I to do while we were there. My children are ages 10 and 7. Everything she recommended was age appropriate and we just got so much more out of this trip than we did the last time we visited Kauai. She told us about the best best waterfall hike, the best family friendly beach, what restaurants she likes and the best of all was the boat ride we scheduled through her. We made so many amazing memories on this trip. I can't wait to go back. By the way, all of her advise is at no cost!

Contact Stephanie as soon as you start planning your Kauai vacation. She will make it perfect! Stephanie quickly assessed my families’ personality and provided a daily planner for “our” best of Kauai. Amazing inflatable raft tirp – booked! Restaurants – booked! I would not have known to do this prior to leaving. The daily planner had many different ideas and down time so we could just chill. Loved It. Stephanie even offered up her BBQ so we could have an evening at the beach. Does anybody really go above and beyond anymore? Stephanie does! She truly is passionate about helping people have an amazing time on their vacation.
With so many awesome pieces of advice to make each adventure perfect Stephanie helped us fall in love with Kauai. Stephanie – Thank you so much!

Our first time to Kaua'i and we were looking for help to make sure we saw the best of what the island offered and not just from a tourists perspective. Stephanie provided us with so many wonderful options catered to our group (age appropriate and adventure level appropriate!). The options included once in a life time experiences as well as local flavor, hidden beaches, and many, many tips. We did nearly everything she suggested and we had the most fabulous time. We will 100% be back to the beautiful Garden Island and we will certainly recommend Stephanie to anyone we know who plans to go!

Four years ago, we visited Hawaii and spent 5 days on Kauai. Stephanie was amazing! The hikes, SUP excursion, helicopters without doors, and dinners she suggested and arranged were awesome. Now that we are planning another Kauai trip for our 30th anniversary, we can’t imagine planning the trip ourselves without Stephanie’s help. Thanks Stephanie!

We had never used a Trip Advisor before, but man are we wondering what we have missed out on with previous vacations. Stephanie knows the island surprisingly well, and gave us an incredibly detailed itinerary that we followed to a T.
Our suggestion would be to just do what she suggests. We scratched one thing from the original itinerary, and we were kicking ourselves because we heard about it several times on the island.
Thank you, Stephanie, for making our anniversary trip the best trip we have ever been on. If you are wondering if you should use her for your trip to Kauai, do yourself a favor, and quit wondering. She is the best!

Stephanie was wonderful. She has excellent knowledge of the activities, vistas, beaches, hikes and other activities across the island and was able to arrange a catamaran ride and ATV tour for us that were wonderful. We had a group of five and all of us enjoyed our stay. She helped with anything and everything we needed and all at no cost. She was very friendly and responsive to our needs and questions. We would highly recommend taking advantage of Stephanie's services to arrange a great experience on your trip to Kauai!!

Stephanie made sure every detail of our trip was perfect, right down to the hour. Our family of seven was traveling which included our children in their mid-20's. She went above and beyond hearing the needs and wants of all of us and incorporating them into a trip we all deemed the best ever. We are so grateful to have been recommended to Stephanie. She's incredibly competent, knowledgeable and friendly. If you want the inside scoop only someone who has lived in Kauai for a long time can provide, reach out to her. You'll be glad you did!

As far as the volcanic cloud, Kauai is pretty far away and did not give us problems. We were there 1 week ago.
Stephanie did a great job of matching our physical ability to our tours. I felt all were fun but also not too challenging for us. And yes - she has a website for contact.
And you need to add the Waimea Canyon to your list

I would love some feedback on the tubing excursion. How long is the trip? Is it worth the price? The island is one of our cruise stops. Would another excursion be better?

I didn't try tubing but we loved kayaking up and then hiking to the falls. It was gorgeous!
