    Drift, the restaurant there, is a great find. The cocktail menu (and bartender) is excellent and the sandwiches (we all got a different one) were very very good. They get a lot done in a limited space.

    We were so happy we booked the Kauai Local Favorites with Aletha! She did a wonderful job of creating an opportunity for us to cook and learn about local culture. My dad has celiacs, and Aletha did a very thorough job of ensuring that every thing he had was gluten free and avoided cross contamination. Next time we are on the island we will definitely take another of her classes!

    A MUST stop for the serious jewelry buyer of Authentic Niihau jewelry and beyond. This is a stunning store (don’t let the outside deceive you). It is beautifully appointed and the jewelry staff was extremely knowledgeable about not only its beautiful collection of authentic Niihau jewelry but it’s many other beautiful possessions. I found true “Aloha Spirit” in every salesperson we interacted with.

    When visiting Kauai- you must book with Tab and his company! Best experience ever! Go where the goats go! You will see the true beauty & learn history & cultural traditions of Kauai. I’ve hiked with Tab on two separate holidays and without doubt I’d book with him again. The hike is personalized to your ability. I recommend micro spikes for your hiking shoes ... for hiking shoes - either water proof or i specifically got hiking shoes for the water this way you can get behind and in the waterfalls easier. It rains so be prepared ... just expect it’s island surrounded by water. We went hiking & camping from the beaches to the mountains. Also great to remember there are no dangerous critters so hiking is fearless. I definitely recommend going with a guide due to the flash or quick change in river flow. Pack lite and go far. Tab and crew also offer drone footage so you will always have video of the amazing landscape you uncovered by foot. Top Notch!

    We can't imagine a better guide than Jeffrey Courson. It was a pleasure to get to know him during our full day together in August 2021. He clearly observed and listened to our preferences and limitations, and made choices on the fly that gave us the peak experience of an already peak-of-a-lifetime trip. We got into the depths and heights of the remote backs of the Waimea canyon, whole forests to ourselves. Only with a guide can you get a fully immersive experience like that and make the most of your considerable efforts and expense in getting yourself to Kauai. Jeffrey also advised us on what not to miss during the rest of our trip, and every tip was spot-on. We even talked some philosophy and life experiences - lots of kindness and laughter. We'll always remember what a wonderful day we had with Jeffrey.

    Charlie taught me (middle aged guy) and my two teenage sons to surf in 30 minutes. None of us had ever surfed and he got us all up on our boards right away. He was fun, helpful, hands-on, punctual, polite and positive. A great morning in Poipu!
