Traveler Reviews

This self-drive tour was an excellent way to see the island. I saw some of the most breathtaking sites I've ever experienced on this drive. Took about 4 hours. Make sure to leave early because you don't want to go down the mountain at night.

We couldn’t get the App to work properly. There wasn’t enough time to reach out for support since we already left in our venture.

Great way to explore the island on your own if you have a car! The pins are a little off but still able to find most of the destinations. Would highly recommend as a full day trip!! Especially if you do some of the hiking!

Such a cool thing to do honestly. You drive yourself through the south shore of Kauai, while your guide talks over the bluetooth of your car, straight from your phone. It tracks your phone through GPS and has certain spots that once you drive over, the guide begins to talk. He talks about various things. He could either give you a little history of the island of even talk about something you will see as your passing through. It offers you little detour options, which we didn't take on the way up. But we did do them all on the way down. If you're a big Disney's Lilo and Stitch fan, make sure you stop by "old town Hanapepe" which is the home of lilo and stitch. They have some cute paintings and shops with merch that has the characters on it. (it's just after the hanging bridge). Few issues with the tour, sometimes the "markers" were off and the guide would tell us about things too late or as we were already passing them. For example, he told us about a lookout that's "just after mile m

The history of the island and the lovely scenic views. It was a great way to explore the island. The audio was on point. And also taking the added routes (which were by choice) I recommend ???? ??
