The Kaua‘i Mai Tai Tour

Looking for the best mai tai on Kaua‘i? You Bettah Rum is a guided mai tai tasting tour that visits four handpicked bars and restaurants across the island — one handcrafted mai tai per guest at every stop, shared pupus along the way, and round-trip transportation so nobody in your group has to drive.

It's a relaxed, island-paced afternoon: about four hours from pickup to drop-off, small groups only, and $189 per guest. All guests must be 21 or older with valid photo ID.

What the rum tasting tour includes

• Four stops at Kaua‘i's best mai tai spots, one handcrafted mai tai per guest at each
• Round-trip transportation in a comfortable, air-conditioned ride
• Shared pupus at select stops
• A local guide who knows the island's rum, its bartenders, and its stories
• Mocktail options for guests who'd rather skip the rum
• Tips for restaurant staff included; driver gratuity appreciated but never required
