[FOR UP TO 7 PASSENGERS, private tour, includes Waimea Canyon State Park Fees]
This tour starts by heading directly to the Waimea Canyon on the west side. On the way there, we will stop to stretch our legs and take a look at the Hanapepe Valley overlook. At Waimea town, we will begin our ascent into the canyon. We will stop at about 1800 feet for our first view, stop at a miniature waterfall for pictures, take a short walk on a nature trail with native Hawaiian plants where you can stand at the very edge of the canyon, and then on to the main canyon viewing area. From there we will head to the top stopping to see the Waipo'o Falls on the way. At the very top we will view two different vantage points of the Kalalau Valley from 4700 feet down to the ocean. On the way back down, listen to a historical tale about the Kalalau Valley. Lunch. Then to the south side for Spouting Horn and Poipu Beach where we will be on the lookout for turtles and the Hawaiian monk seals.

If you hate beautiful scenery, learning about Kauai and having a great time with an outstanding host, do not take this tour! Otherwise, Noah is your man. He has an encyclopedic mind on many subjects and is very accommodating to your needs. A day filled with breathtaking beauty, history and fun! And there is a special surprise that I’m not going to spoil. Take this tour!

Noah is an amazing guide. His vast knowledge of Kauai, its culture and its history made this trip great. We have taken tours all over the world, and this was one of the very best. Noah is a local and he is not affiliated with a large tour company. If you tour the canyon and the south side without him, you have truly missed a great experience.

Noah was an incredible guide for the day. He greeted us with Kauai cookies and was a wealth of knowledge about the island and its history. We did this on our first day in Kauai and it was a wonderful orientation with several amazing photo ops. His stories and ukulele play were very memorable. Best way to see Waimea Canyon and the south side

Noah was the best host/guide to Kauai. He knew so much about the history and beauty of the island. The weather did not cooperate for a good visit to the top of Weimea canyon due to heavy cloud cover, but he took us to so many other wonderful places and on a breathtaking hike along the beach. It was a really great way to see so much of this beautiful island in one day.

Noah was awesome. He was on time to pick us up and is very knowledgeable in Hawaiian culture and history. Was very patient and allowed us to enjoy the scenery for as long as we wanted. He was a very safe driver and his vehicle was clean. He is an excellent story teller and has a great passion for Hawaiian culture. A special treat for us is when he pulled out his ukulele and played for us.

Noah was very accommodating and knowledgeable, personable. Waimea Canyon is stunning, and we stopped at many different points for photos. At Poipu Beach we saw a monk seal and green sea turtles. Also stopped at a great breakfast truck for amazing coffee and sandwiches, Porky’s for lunch—awesome pulled pork grilled cheese sandwich with onions and pineapple, and a Dirt Shirt store. Would highly recommend!

Our Hawaiian journey reached new heights with Noah's Ark Kauai Touring Company – undoubtedly the best tour of our trip! Spanning approximately 7 hours (6 hours of captivating exploration and a leisurely 1-hour lunch break), this experience left an indelible mark on our hearts.
Noah's meticulous attention to detail was evident throughout. His assistance in capturing precious family photos showcased his thoughtfulness and added a personal touch that made us feel truly cared for.
A masterful storyteller, Noah effortlessly wove the tapestry of local history, transforming each location into a living, breathing chapter of Kauai's rich narrative. His artful use of local artist music further enriched the experience, immersing us in the island's vibrant culture.
Prepare to be enchanted, for Noah's surprises are endless. His musical prowess came to light as he serenaded us with an intimate ukulele performance, sharing a deeply personal tune that resonated with our souls.
Lunchtime was a delight as Noah guided us to an exquisite pulled pork haven at the base of the awe-inspiring Waimea Canyon. This thoughtful gesture showcased his commitment to providing a truly remarkable and well-rounded experience.
We relished ample time to bask in the beauty of each location, uncovering hidden gems and lesser-known spots, all thanks to Noah's expert guidance. His familiarity with the locales, effortlessly navigating without GPS, and his camaraderie with park personnel showcased his intimate relationship with the island.
Noah's door-to-door service, made possible by his exclusive cruise terminal permit, was a game-changer. Unlike conventional taxi or ride-sharing services, his personalized approach elevated our comfort and convenience to new heights.
Noah's exceptional communication skills shone through as he patiently addressed our inquiries prior to the trip. His open dialogue and willingness to assist were truly commendable, setting the tone for an outstanding experience.
The accolades continue as Noah generously shared recommendations for our next-day exploration, guiding us toward local hiking trails and snorkeling havens. A genuine local expert, his insights were invaluable.
A rating of 6 out of 5 stars feels insufficient to capture the brilliance of Noah's Ark Kauai Touring Company. In a heartwarming embrace of diversity, Noah offers Japanese-speaking tours, making this experience accessible and inviting for a wider audience.
To anyone yearning for a curated and unparalleled Kauai experience, Noah comes highly recommended. His genuine passion, impeccable storytelling, and commitment to excellence make him the ultimate guide. Without hesitation, I will be urging all my friends to embark on this journey with Noah, a true maestro of Kauai's wonders.

The scenery is beautiful. A private tour was an excellent option for six in our family ranging in ages from older to young.
