    West side Kauai tour .. beautiful
    Kelly_P
    , May 2022
    Great tour with Coco, she is a wonderful & knowledgeable tour guide. The tour highlighted the amazing & beautiful west side of the island, Waimea Canyon. Additionally there were several other stops that introduced us to Kauai’s local coffee, local bakery with island specialties & local specialty shops with locally made products. Recommend this tour!

    Coco was the best! She’s friendly and very welcoming. She has such a great sense of humor that we laughed so much during our tour! It was nice that this tour was in a smaller group, it was cozy. She was very knowledgeable of the culture and had great stories and information to share. I felt like we started out as strangers and felt like we were families by the end of the tour. That’s how much Coco made us felt so comfortable. Thank you Coco for such an amazing time!

    We learned so much about the history of the island; an all encompassing ethnicity bakery, how coffee is harvested along with tasting the coffee grown here, waterfalls and canyons, how the island was formed, along with local folklore. Coco makes the tour relaxing, much laughter and also great food at the Lodge in the State park. This is a great way to spend a day. Great value and fun too

    The tour introduced us to magnificent nature’s wonders of da Westside of Kauai. The views were just breathtaking. Coco shared with us her immense knowledge about the island’s history and made valuable recommendations about other places worth seeing, must do activities or restaurants which cannot be omitted. Besides, she made us all feel that we were welcomed and warmly cared for. It was just wonderful experience.

    Unforgettable experience with Coco the soul of Kauai Soul Travel
    Jennifer_S
    , Nov. 2021
    Best day ever!!! My husband and I had been on the island for a week already, I personally thought we had seen so much of the island with kayaking/hiking, the ATV adventure, the botanical garden tour, and also having a rental car we had explored what I thought was the majority of the island, so I wasn’t sure I would enjoy this tour, but OMG was I wrong!!! Coco was amazing, her island energy was infectious, she took us first to the coffee plantation which blew my mind!!! A totally beautiful place with so much history. Coco made it fun with some trivia that we all enjoyed as we embarked onto our next point of interest, every stop was breathtaking, and all the knowledge that Coco shared was AMAZING!!! Then when we got to the Koke’e Lodge for lunch, where I enjoyed the avocado toast and my husband the loco moco, and upon the suggestion from Coco to try the Lilikoi Chiffon pie, we were happily fed and loved all the food!!! And the added bonus of getting 10% off our check…whoop whoop!!! This tour was hands down was the best day of our trip!!! Coco who is also the owner of Kauai Soul Travel is truly a delightful person who ensured we were all informed as to what happening and shared so much of the history and Aloha spirit, the van had picked up a piece of metal in the tire, and I can only imagine how stressful that would be but Coco ensured we all were informed and safe at all times!! Even with the tire, Coco was aware of the other couples evening plans and ensured even with the tire, we all got back in time for dinner luau plans. The tour was even better then what was described when we booked!!!! I am so thankful for the amazing day that Coco provided for us!!! This tour is so good, a couple who had been on this tour earlier in their trip had booked it again for the day we went!!! In my opinion that speaks volumes about how amazing it is!!! I strongly recommend this tour to anyone, it’s a beautiful way to see the island, with an amazing guide!!! Mahalo Coco and A hui hou

    Waimea Canyon and certain parts of West side of Kauai tour
    Neha_S
    , Nov. 2021
    So I would like to say first and foremost the tour guide Coco Maria is awesome and very knowledgeable about the area and you can see she has a passion for what she does! The reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because the overall experience of what we were expecting was less and especially for the price of the experience. We did a similar tour of places in Maui a few years back and you felt more immersed in the experience. I think it’s based on expectations- what the descriptions stated on the various websites and how it was “sold to you” versus what the tour ended up being. I would kind of compare this tour to a “hop on hop off tour” with commentary. You go to various places- take pictures of them and then hop back on and hear more about the area. If that is what you want/expecting than you will love this tour.
