Aloha Bruce goes deep and gets specific about Kauai tours on this Wednesday, August 31, 2022, Hawaii Vacations Podcast.

Bruce starts off with a restaurant review focused on J. Dolan’s Pizza Pub in Chinatown and their new location in Kahala. Bruce says it’s the best pizza in Hawaii. “I probably inhaled that pizza in about three minutes!” He says the new Kahala location is larger and more airy and open than the Chinatown location and that it is always packed with customers. Bruce also mentions a donut shop and locally sourced storefronts in the new Kahala strip mall.

On to the subject of Kauai tours and enjoyable activities to book on the Garden Isle. First up is Secret Hawaii Tours, the only private tour available on Kauai’s south side, or Gold Coast. On to the Na Pali Coast, Bruce mentions Blue Ocean Adventure Tours and discusses highlights the trip offers, like dolphin sightings and remote sea caves.

High-speed rafting (“You’ll get a little bit wet!”) with Holo Holo Charters is another highlight. Holo Holo also offers a dinner cruise, and Bruce says now is the best time to book a dinner cruise because of ideal ocean conditions. Bruce then moves on to Blue Hawaiian and other helicopter tours along the Na Pali Coast.

A Hollywood movie tour is up next, which goes to locations made famous in blockbuster franchises like Jurassic Park. “It’s great for families,” Bruce says. Guided biking tours of Waimea Canyon are also popular, and Bruce offers some specific highlights certain tours offer.

Aloha Bruce suggests that planning Kauai tours should include a trip to Kauai’s North Shore and Princeville and Hanalei. Bruce mentions the Princeville Botanical Gardens, which offers guided tours and homegrown chocolate.

Bruce wraps this episode with an invitation to listeners to the HAT travel support group on Facebook and to engage with local businesses by booking with locally owned and operated Hawaii Aloha Travel.
