We enjoyed our tour with Doug! He was knowledgeable, fun, and worked with us to see the best sites during our time together. He even accommodated our growing teenager’s “snack stop.” Highly recommend Doug to anyone interested in small, personal tour! Mahalo, Doug!

Aloha, I’m Doug, the Kauai Tour Guy. I’ve lived on Kauai since 2007 and during that time I drove school, public transit and tour buses until the opportunity for starting my own business of becoming a tour guide on Kauai came along. My passion for photography, geography, history and the culture of Kauai is evident on my private guided tours of Kauai as I drive visitors like you from around the world. My private tours start when I pick you up from your accommodation, airport or directly from the cruise ship! Join me as just you and your party enjoy a Kauai day trip of fun experiences as I show and share Kauai with you like a local and of course leave the driving to me. A hui hou aku!
My 5-Hour Kauai Tours
Perfect For Those with Limited Time
Cruise ship passengers with limited shore time or island tourists with only half a day this is an ideal tour for you. We will see a lot in 5 hours. You can choose the exciting Waimea Canyon tour to explore the southwest side of Kauai and its breathtaking scenery. Or, check out the lusciously green North Shore tour with gorgeous tropical landscape, famous Kauai waterfalls and some of Hawaii’s best beaches. Whatever you decide, you won’t be disappointed.
See What My Guests Say About My Tours!
We had a great time on Doug’s tour. He is very personable and gave us many relevant facts about the different sights. He was well versed in the historical, geological, and ecological aspects of the island. He knew all the best places to make great photos. Doug’s tour was the highlight of our trip and I would recommend his tour to anyone.
He was very knowledgeable about the island and gave me great ideas for what to do my next visit. Also, Doug was very personable.
We had an awesome tour with Doug seeing the North side on one day and the Waimea Canyon on the other. We had certain things we wanted to see and saw them all along with with other sights Doug added in. We really liked how it was our own personal tour. Doug was a great tour guide and we really enjoyed our time. Mahalo!

Travelling in a tourist bus is not for us, so having Doug show us around was a perfect day. He is knowledgable and gave us a lot of background about his island home. The Waimea Canyon was superb, and the rainbow eucalyptus an asked for special side trip. Thank you Doug for putting up with us. Five star day. Diane.

Thanks Doug for showing us an amazing time around Kauai! Our family was doing a day trip to Kauai and so we needed to find a tour that could show us most of the island in a short amount of time.
Doug was a great tour guide! Punctual and respected our time. We opted for a shorter than usual tour and he was able to squeeze in many beautiful sights! Very knowledgeable on island history and gave some great tips on restaurants and locations to see for the rest of our trip! Highly recommend!
We had a wonderful experience with Doug! We enjoyed a great 10 hours (split into 2 days). This personal tour was the best choice for us with my husband’s handicap. We were able to go at our own pace, easy in and out of Doug’s SUV with great conversation along with his wealth of knowledge. Thank you, Doug, for a trip we will never forget!!

Who Is The Kauai Tour Guy?
And How Did He Come To Kauai?
Aloha! My name is Doug, and I am the Kauai Tour Guy. Kauai tours are my passion, and people are always curious about how I came to live on one of the most beautiful islands in the world. After working as a florist for over 20 years, I had the opportunity to come on a business trip to Kauai for a flower show… click the button below to read more and how I ended up here. I hope you join me on one of my tours and you fall in love with Kauai like I have over the ears.
The Ride-Not a Big Bus
My tours are small, private, and safe. If you are looking for a comfortable ride around the island of Kauai, and don’t want the Big Bus tour you are in the right place. My Toyota 4Runner is perfect for sightseeing and exploring at any pace. Whether we do the Waimea Canyon 5 Hour Tour, the Hanalei North Shore and Eastside 5 hour tour, you can rely on The Ride to take you to the best Kauai has to offer!
