We had an amazing time with Doug. He picked us up from our resort and his car was comfortable for the 3 of us. He was very friendly and knowledgeable of the island.

We went on the 6 hr Waimea Canyon tour and it was amazing. Doug stopped to point out great places for photos and things to see. We ate lunch at this unique farm to table cafe and the food was delicious. The Canyon was beautiful and then we stopped to drink some coconut water from a guy on the street and we also went to the largest coffee plantation/store. We love coffee and we got some amazing blends that we took home with us.

Doug gave us some dinner recommendations and some things we need to see and do. One of those was to try the shave ice with ice cream on the bottom and it was amazing. So overall we would highly recommend Doug!

				My group of six had a great time with Doug. We did the Waimea tour. Doug is fun, a treasure trove of information and knew exactly where to go to get great pictures and see great sights. I give my highest recommendation! All of us quite enjoyed our time with Doug! Like they say in New Mexico, eeee bro, it was all good!

				We had an excellent day in a very comfortable air conditioned Toyota sienna with Doug as our tour guide. Doug is very knowledgeable and gave us the lay of the land which was most helpful since we've never been to Kauai before. We went to the west side of the island which is quite windy and often narrow roads. We felt safe the whole time with Dog driving. We were glad we were not driving this road ourselves because it allowed us to relax and enjoy the beautiful scenic views. We highly recommend booking a tour of Kauai with Doug.

				Booked the Waimea Canyon 6-hour tour and had an unforgettable day! Doug is very knowledgeable about the island's geography and history which greatly enriched the experience. It was a pleasure to have Doug handle the driving, allowing us to relax and take in the spectacular scenery. If you are considering booking with Doug, do not hesitate – he will provide an exceptional experience. Mahalo Doug!

				Definitely made the right choice with Doug. His knowledge was excellent. The small group tour highly recommended as he structured tour to avoid the bus crowds and had parking privileges at each spot. Thanks Uncle Doug, love your work. Mahalo

				Doug (The Kauai Tour Guy) was magnificent. His knowledge of the history (including the movies and TV) and geology of Kauai was extensive and we learned a huge amount. His stories were highly entertaining. This was a guided tour with a wonderful (and much appreciated) personal touch. And the food recommendations were great. Thank you so much.

				We had an incredible day touring the north shore with Doug. He is very informative and entertaining. We learned a lot about the history of the island and its culture. Took us to beautiful places we never would have found on our own and gave us great recommendations for other places to visit and things to do the rest of our stay on Kaua’i. Definitely worth it. Thank you Doug!!

				Doug was a very knowledgeable and lovely guy! His car was super clean and he took us everywhere we wanted to go. He was very humorous and gave us some great recommendations throughout our day with him for various things to try and buy. Would definitely come and see him next time we're on the island! My family truly enjoyed your company!

				We took the Waimea Canyon tour with Doug, the Kauai Tour Guy, in mid May 2024. We had a great tour! There were 6 of us, so a private tour. We were comfortable and able to get into small spaces, avoiding the big tour buses. Doug is quite knowledgeable on the environmental aspects of the island. Lunch was in the park and was quite tastey. We even added a stop at Kauai Coffee roasters…ask for a McDoug coffee! We ended the tour at Koala Heritage Trail/Spouting Horn Park to see the amazing coastline. I definitely recommend this and would do the tour again!

				We encourage the two day adventure in order to experience the whole island and see the nuances of each location. Doug’s concierge level hospitality created a warm and welcoming atmosphere inside and outside the van. He covers geology, flora, fauna, and culture. Warning: There will be a quiz, and there are prizes. 🤙

				We had two fantastic days on the island with Doug. He is a cheerful and friendly guy who knows a lot about the island and he took us to the most beautiful places. If you book a tour with Doug you get value for your money and plenty of time to look around. We would recommend him to everyone! Menno & Roy

				My husband and I were so impressed with Doug's breadth of knowledge about Kauai: geography, history, customs, horticulture, and more. He was so personable; there never was an awkward moment. He also took the best picture of us from our entire trip. We can't wait to book again next time we are in Kauai

				We had an amazing time touring Kauai with Doug! He was funny and shared many island stories and facts. He was even eager to take photos whenever we asked. And we asked a lot, as he took us to many amazing and beautiful sites! We will definitely book with him again on our next trip to the island.

				Doug was great! He was very informative and fun to spend the day with on the beautiful island of Kauai. He provided insights and took us to locations the big tour companies can’t or won’t, and he answered all our questions no matter how crazy they seemed. He was also extremely accommodating, as the night prior, we requested adding friends who we met on our cruise to the tour. He is one of the reasons why we will no longer book tours with the cruise lines. His local and personal touch made it special. Mahalo, Doug!

				Doug made this tour a fantastic experience. He loves the island and explained the history and significance of the beautiful spots he took us to. We learned so much! Our group of 6 loved his tour and would highly recommend it. Our only regret is not having the time to do his second day tour:) Book it, you won't regret it!

				My husband and I have visited Kauai many times and have driven to the North Shore. Yesterday, we went with Doug and had a totally different experience. Doug is full of historical information, insight into living on Kauai and is passionate about everything aloha. Beautiful sights, great information and leave the driving to the Kauai Tour Guy. Mahalo from Bob and Alison from the 9th Island 🌴

				Doug was wonderful. All of the food places he took us were personal favorites of his. Good choices for food. As he took us from place to place, he told us about the history, about local traditions, if, and when we should come back to a certain place, and personal antidotes. On our next tour to Kauai, he will be requested and we will pass his information along to all of our friends and family.
