North Shore Tour

The North Shore Tour from Waikiki was fabulous, with great narration and lots of wonderful stops. I can’t wait to use the app again on another trip.

Kauai North Shore Tour

This was a great tour and resource. We found places and saw things you would never find by yourself (IMHO). The stories and history were also very entertaining. A must if you have not been here before.
