5 hrs Kauai Easy Side Tour with Coco - We had a wonderful sight seeing 5 hrs Kauai tour with Coco on March 30th, 2024. What a beautiful and full filling this tour was! Coco told us the history of the Island and in details described every site we stopped by. We saw waterfalls, historically archeological sites, the harbor, the beaches, the mountains…we’ve learned a lot!
Coco is charming, easy going, history knowledgeable tour guide !
Those 5 hrs together flew by pretty fast.
We traveled by a comfortable, spotlessly clean van, so the rain we caught with part of the trip did not affect our fun time with Coco.
We strongly recommend the tour and our amazing guide Coco.

Great scenery, stories, and laughter on the short and sweet! - Coco was such a great tour guide. She made my wife and I feel right at home and part of her family with all the stories of the legends of Kauai and island history on the short and sweet tour. She recommended other things to do on the island and she did not disappoint! Her wealth of knowledge and professionalism is the reason why I highly recommend booking a tour with her. My wife and I will be going back to one of her other tours the next time we come to Kauai.
