Of course the more time we have, the more you can take your time and the deeper into nature we can go. If you are unsure of your speed and ability as a hiker, or need pick/drop off from your accommodations, please book our Half-Day or Full-Day Kauaʻi Adventure so you will have even more time to explore at your own pace (in most cases your tour can be extended, and the price can be adjusted accordingly after your tour, if you let us know during the tour).
Please keep in mind that tour durations begin when you meet your guide until you part ways. If you need a pick up or drop off this extra driving time, including traffic, should be incorporated into the duration of tour you select. If this is an issue for you, you may want to select a tour area closer to where you are staying. In most cases your tour can be extended even longer, and the price adjusted proportionately after your tour, if you let us know during the tour.
