The positive reviews for the Rum Safari sucked me in, and the experience did not disappoint! The…read moreRum Guys, Bruce and Tanji, led us on a delightful journey through Kilohana Plantation with detailed info on the history, animals, and plant life there at the plantation. We especially enjoyed touring the orchard, including the banana slap experience (!!!), and learning about different types of fruits that can grow in the Kauai climate. The rum tasting also did not let us down. We sampled different flavors of Koloa Rum (the safari and the Rum Guys are unaffiliated with Koloa Rum, which had a separate tasting room and shop on site), followed by a Mai Tai and an additional fresh cocktail. Bruce and Tanji were excellent guides and comedians, delighting my whole party, which contained a range of ages and senses of humor. My uncle was really impressed with their ability to read the room and crack exactly the right jokes to make all of us laugh. They were also incredibly informative and provided local tips on where to go (and where to avoid) next. Mahalo, Rum Guys!!

Everyone at Trolley was super friendly, and our tour guide Laki was a native Hawaiian who gave us amazing insight into Hawaii while we rode around in an air conditioned van. He provided the straight scoop on the culture on the islands from someone who lives and grew up there. Getting to Harbor Mall from the cruise ship was no problem since there were multiple shuttles going to the mall (that was 5 minutes away from the cruise terminal). I highly recommend this tour and Trolley Stop Tours!!!

Using the bus is an amazing and cost-effective way to get around Kauai. The maps are easy to figure…read moreout and all the drivers I had were friendly. My advice, don't have a strict schedule that is based around the bus times because the bus runs on its own schedule, not what is posted. Always follow where the bus is, especially on the weekends, because having to wait another 1-2 hours for the next bus is not ideal. Not much seating, but there was never not enough seats. I can see why they don't advertise the bus to tourists.

Thank you ! We didn't get a car this trip and we took the bus, or should I say buses everywhere …read more As a Sr our fare was $2.5 round trip each. A far cry from the $130 a day + gas fee for a car. But that's just the monetary benefit. The real benefits beyond environmental or adding to the congested roads was meeting people. We talked to such wonderful representatives of the island, found new places and saw a different side of life beyond the hotel on Kauai. The drivers were kind and helpful. The passengers engaging and on one occasion a young man gave up his seat for me to sit down on a full bus. (Note that was the only time we had any problem getting a seat on the bus too! ) So I would highly recommend the bus, Am a fan and will continue to be a rider when ever we are on Island. Thank you for your service. And thank you for the wonderful App that gives schedules, directions as well as tracks where the buses are.

Bart did not share any history about the island. He only shared movie/tv knowledge. He did not share any cultural or historical knowledge. Don't waste your money or time! If you have a rental car, you can see everything for yourself. We paid for the "Ultimate Kaiya Private Tour, " which cost our family $1600.00 (with tip). The ONLY reason we tipped is because we feel it's important to support the local economy, and as I shared Bart was a nice guy. We did contact the business about our concerns, and they gave us a canned response telling us that they will tell Bart to do better. Hence the reason I am taking it to this review so that others can be warned. We feel we were dupped and that this business has unethical practices.

I am writing this review to warn potential customers about our encounter with a racist employees…read moreworking for this company who told my wife to "go back to India where you come from." I was driving with my family up Highway 505 to view the Waimea Canyon. Since this is an extremely windy road with lots of switch backs and sharp bends, the speed limit was 25 mph. The M. Tours Hawaii (MTH) tour bus was driving behind us most of the way up to the canyon. After parking at the first scenic lookout, the MTH bus driver started yelling at me for driving too slow. When I explained that I was driving the speed limit, her response was that I should be driving 5-10 miles over the limit. Because she was being confrontational, but I walked away (as she kept yelling at me) to join my family and enjoy the beautiful of the scenery of the canyon. Returning to our car, we noticed the MTH driver pulled into a handicap spot, the only one available at the lookout. My wife walked over to the bus and notified the driver that she had parked in the handicap spot. The MTH driver replied: "You know what? Why don't you go back to India where you come from!" This infuriated everyone in our party, but we felt we would take the high road and moved on. Then I had another encounter with the MTH driver further down the road at the Waimea Canyon Lookout: the MTH driver was yucking it up with the folks at the fruit stand retelling the story. She knew I was easily within earshot and could hear everything because she was staring me in the eyes, glaring, when I walked by. I'm disappointed in the fruit stand folks for finding the "go back to where you come from" comment so funny. One last thing I wanted to point out: the driver was smoking inside the tour bus which is illegal in the state of Hawaii. It's pretty selfish to expose your customers to second and third hand smoke, if you ask me. I did attempt to call the company and even texted the number listed on the internet but did not receive a reply. Kauai is a beautiful location with many friendly people living there, and I won't let this incident ruin my experience. But it is disheartening to know that even in paradise there will still be ignorant, hateful people. For this reason, I would think twice about using this tour company.
