Top Kauai Private Sightseeing Tours

Must do on Kauai! I surprised my kids with those FUVs on Christmas day. We had SO MUCH FUN! Even better is that a preplanned tour was included if you wanted to follow it. It was perfectly set up through Google maps. We could follow easily with absolutely no issues. Vehicles are easy to operate and feel safe. Trunks are lockable which is a great plus. Overall the hit on our 2 week Hawaii vacation.

Our tour of Kauai with Noah was absolutely wonderful and the perfect way to begin our time on this magical island. The views of Waimea Canyon and the Nā Pali Coast were breathtaking, and Noah made them even more special by weaving in engaging anecdotes about the island’s history and what life is like as a local. Noah was also incredibly thoughtful and flexible, offering different options to keep our three teenage sons engaged, which we truly appreciated. One of the absolute highlights of the day was seeing sea turtles, an unforgettable experience for all of us. The ukulele music was loved by everyone and added such a warm, authentic touch to the tour. Thank you, Noah, for creating such a welcoming, informative, and memorable first day on Kauai. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the island.

We only had a short time in Kauai, and this tour was exactly what we wanted to see. Elizabeth was so kind and friendly. She picked us up and got us to the canyon first because there was a chance for rain that day. It ended up being a beautiful day, and Elizabeth made sure we got to see it all! We stopped for lunch at The Lodge and it was the perfect authentic lunch we had been wanting. She even surprised our son with a birthday cake since she knew we were celebrating with this trip! We felt so thankful to have selected this tour with Elizabeth because she knows so much of the history of Kauai and the Waimea Canyon. Highly recommend this tour to anyone coming to Kauai!

Unforgettable experience! Our pilot Gray was fantastic—friendly, communicative, and made the ride feel smooth and safe. The doors-off option is absolutely worth it for the incredible views. We went mid-morning, but I’d love to do it again in the late afternoon to catch golden hour. The photos and videos are truly postcard-worthy. Highly recommended and worth every penny!

We had a great time learning all about Kauai from John on our canyon tour. We started our day being picked up from our hotel in Poipu and checking out Poipu beach where we saw a monk seal coming on shore for his day of basking in the sun. We then ventured out to the Kauai Coffee Company where we were able to taste a bunch of coffees that are made on the island. After the coffee pick-us-up, we travelled through a couple of small towns before heading up to the Waimea Canyon. Words do not do justice for the incredible scenery that we were able to experience. From a old canal waterfall running through the red Mars-like dirt, to overlooking the ocean from the very top of the Kalalau Lookout, the views were stunning! After the canyon, we headed back to Waimea and had lunch at Island Taco (HIGHLY recommend). We stopped at a tiny little town of artists and Lilo and Stitch where we walked across a very old suspension bridge. Our final two stops along the way were at the spouting horn and back near our hotel where we watched sea turtles playing in the surf! It was a great day all the way around. John was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable and we highly recommend this as a way to start your vacation in Kauai!

My wife and I had a great time hiking to see some waterfalls and the Queens bath with Zane. We learned about some of the local plants and flowers of the islands. Would recommend this to anyone wanting to get out for a hike to see the beauty of Kauai, plus have some great pictures taken by Zane as lasting memories!

Koah was our pilot during our flight through Kauai. He provided us with valuable details about the history of the island and he was reassuring about what to expect during the flight. He made us feel safe. This was an incredible adventure to say the least. The Na Pali coast is a must see. Aerial views were absolutely spectacular and breathtaking! We have used Viator in the past and they do not disappoint with great tour offerings and customer service. I highly recommend this tour offered by “Wings over Kauai” but most of all flying with pilot - Koah. Thank you.

We rented a van and did our own tour in Maui and it was miserable. We were constantly navigating and researching food options or next stops and had never explored the area. It felt frustrating and a total waste of time. Shaka guide is a curated experience with clear step by step directions, music along the way and local and historical stories to keep you informed and entertained. The best part was setting our own pace and picking and choosing our stops and/or hikes.
