Andrew the guide is clearly passionate. We are just as passionate. His anecdotes are great, we had a great time. The pick-up system is well done, no worries. There is something for everyone, all eras of cinema, it was great! The stop in Hanalei leaves plenty of time for lunch before continuing the day.

My partner Martin and I loved the tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and he had a great sense of humor. The tour is a wonderful way to seek Kauai and learn about new and old movies filmed in Kauai. Thank you for the fun day! ~ Kelle G.

Great. Unfortunately the weather was not the best for viewing the canyon, but that is beyond earthly control.
