I own my own business and am the only tour guide so I can ensure a quality experience to every guest. I am licensed by the State of Hawaii Public Utilities Commission to give tours and am fully insured according to Hawaii’s requirements. There is a big difference between experiencing Kauai by a large group motor coach tour and our exclusive Private Tour.
2. Aloha! My wife and I moved to Kauai in 1981. For the first 8 years on Kauai I was a helicopter tour guide. As a hobby I produced the first video souvenir of Kauai’s helicopter tour in 1983. By 1988 I had produced other video souvenirs and had the opportunity to turn my hobby into a business. I started a local television channel called KVIC-TV, the Kauai Visitor Information Channel. I ran my own production company until retiring and becoming a caregiver to my parents a few years ago.
Last year I went to work for a local tour company and have enjoyed sharing my years of experience and knowledge of this incredible island with guests from all over the world. I now enjoy the privilege of sharing my island with visitors in a more personal way with my own business specializing in private tours and with small groups up to 6 people.
3. Visit white-sand beaches like Kee Beach, Anini Beach and Hanalei Bay. Stop at scenic overlooks, visit ancient taro fields over 800 years old, explore ancient trails built by Kauai’s first inhabitants and cruise through the Princeville Resort Area for a feel of modern island luxury living.
A number of my stops include information about movies filmed here. Enjoy a seemingly endless supply of the most beautiful vistas on the planet.
We will cruise through the Princeville Resort Area for a feel of modern island luxury living and visit the historic pier on Hanalei bay used extensively in the movie “South Pacific”.
On the east side catch views and hear the legends of Nounou Mountain known as Sleeping Giant. You can also explore the Wailua River area where you will visit the Hikinaakala Heiau in Lydgate Park, Holoholoku Heiau, Polihau Heiau and admire the stunning scenery of Opaeka’a Falls.
4. Discover the historic leeward dry side of Kauai where Cpt. Cook first set foot in Hawaii in 1778. At the end of the road in Kokee we visit one of Hawaii’s most breathtaking scenic overlooks of the largest valley of Na Pali, Kalalau. It was once home to over 5,000 Hawaiians, a spectacular valley full of history.
We’ll stop at the Kokee Museum for a glimpse into the unique world of the tropical rainforest of Kokee. Then it’s off to scenic overlooks of Waimea Canyon nicknamed the Grand Canyon of the pacific by Mark Twain. (some historians dispute whether he actually came to Kauai or not)
In Waimea town we’ll see the well-known Captain Cook Monument and visit an old Russian fort, Fort Elizabeth. Then we are off to the largest coffee plantation in the United States, the Kauai Coffee Company where we can sample a multitude of their different varieties of coffee.
