The Island of Kauai had a long run producing sugar cane, but that has faded along with the government subsidies. Now, the island is seeing the land being converted to coffee plantations. But back in 1965, this site of a former Sugar Mill was designated as a Historic Place. 20 years later, this monument was built to commemorate the history of the area. The monument includes contributor plaques as well as six informational plaques that tell all about the sugar industry and local history. But the eye-catching focus of the monument is the full-sized depiction of numerous sugar mill workers cast in bronze by artist Gordon Fisher in 1985. The native people are shown performing certain tasks, some standing, some seated. It is a beautiful piece dedicated to capturing the look of the island people at the height of the sugar trade.

Mona & Isaiah, were phenomenal. They were knowledgeable, personable, and funny. They kept the mood alive and bumping and I LOVED their genuine way to connect with each group. The tour definitely showed us another level of an experience to the island. The experience was surreeal in the 4 points that you get to explore with the group you are placed with. Everyone becomes a team and a unit. Each point becomes more elaborate than the next. The first with the eye opening beachfront that doesn't feel like any other. So secluded and one of a kind. The next few points are one of a kind as well. I think the experience is what you make of it. The drive alone is a video game like experience of leveling up to keep up with the group. But in the end it becomes the 3 hour experience you hang with your crew. I think each group should have a name to bond the groups forever. I want to call ours as default Jurassic Frank! (Frank is the rooster that lives very comfortably in the last man made lake spot. Please, remember to say hello to him and his many accomplishes that give you a lot of genuine love. If you are patient you will catch a little fish on the far left front of their pier.) Loved this AVT tour and I can't wait to return for another round of the island.

Since there were an odd number of us, she gave us her single kayak so I was able to use that on the way out and then switched with my brother on the way back. It was really nice to basically have that private tour! Unfortunately because of the rain and rising waters, we weren't able to do the hike & waterfall portion of the trip but the kayaking along the river was really nice and enjoyable. Mikayla did take us out of the kayaks and show us some of the surrounding area and shared with us information about the different plants. It was fun! We only got a downpour on the way back for the marina for about 10min but that was part of the experience! We didn't eat breakfast before and do actually the length of time worked well for us. We left around 7:30am ish and made it back around 9;30am. The company refunded us 50% since weather made the hike portion impossible. Totally recommend bringing food though if you do the full thing:) and bring shoes good for hiking. Mikayla was friendly and helped get my two siblings (who hadn't kayaked before) adjusted and paddling in a straight line rather than zigzagging across. She was a great guide and would definitely recommend her! We learned a lot. And she gave us more recommendations around the island for the rest of our trip.

The playlist on board was spot on, setting the perfect vibe. I wish I could find it on Spotify! Despite the weather, the views were breathtaking, and getting a little drenched just added to the adventure. The food was delicious, especially the smoked pork, salad, and fresh fruit, and my husband loved the mai tais. Even without the sunset, the whole experience was magical. After chatting with other travelers, I'm convinced we had one of the best tours available. especially after talking to a couple at our hotel pool who had paid more than we did and only got snacks limited alcohol.
