Kauai tour August 9,2024 - We had “Cousin Larry” pick us up in Lihue at the Pride of America cruise ship dock. He gave us a list of most if not all the movies that were at least partially filmed on Kauai and showed us clips of the movies while visiting the sites. Great knowledge and ability to talk with everyone.

Great tour! - This was a great tour. Our driver, Larry did a fantastic job narrating the trip and identifying the areas where the movies were shot.
Loved that he was super friendly and very knowledgeable about the local areas.
Will definitely recommend this tour to my family and friends.

Spectacular scenery - The Waimea Canyon was one of the most beautiful sights we have ever seen - the contours with green on bright red were spectacular. The guide, the organisation and the coach all made it a special occasion. The guide went out of her way to make sure that we made the best of the day. We particularly enjoyed hearing about her rugby playing days.?enjoyed hearing about her We were also lucky to share the tour with an especially enjoyable group of people. We were never rushed. Perfect.

Great experience - We took this tour and really enjoyed it. Our kids (11, 9, and 6) did get bored at times as many of the movies are older, but the bus is well air conditioned so it was a comfortable ride for all. The tour takes you to many different parts of the island, so I'm glad we did it when we still have 5 days left on our trip and have time to visit some spots we learned about on the tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly.

Easy going sight seeing in Kauai - Eaton was a great tour guide - we stopped and saw many beautiful overlook views on our way to the Waimea Canyon. It was also nice that the bus picked us up along the way and dropped us off. We had a very tasty lunch at Chicken in a Barrel (provided with tour) on a nice cottage/lodge. We also ended the tour with Kauai Coffee.

Not my favorite tour - The tour could be shorter or stop and give more time. 90 minutes for a self bought lunch in Hanalei was not ideal for what was expected. Drive by scenic areas were nice yet would have preferred more movie stops. Guide was well informed
