    We had a wonderful time enjoying the local eateries that we visited during this tour. Susan was a delight and took great care to ensure we were taken care of and enjoyed our time. We loved ending the day at the farm, drinking tea and learning more about the wonderful healing powers of what this island has to offer.

    This was an amazing experience! Our tour guide, Susan, has lived on Kauai for decades and was very generous in sharing information. Not only on the places we visited, but Kauai in general, especially restaurants. We have a new appreciation for Kombucha - delicious, not the vinegary stuff I've had in the past. I never would have tried Saiman unless I went on the tour, it was a delicious experience. The mahi mahi burger and beef burger were sooooo delicious, and the Shave ice was one of the best. Tour was very well organized and smoothly run. DO take this tour, and arrive hungry! Definitely something we'll do again!
