What Are Our Guests Saying About Us?
"My passion for travel comes from learning about other cultures and meeting local people. Some tour companies try to hard to provide that experience and it feels touristy. At Kushi Waira's the Kanari community truly works together to provide guests an authentic experience while raising money for a good cause. I chose the day tour plus the overnight experience-- stay overnight if you can, it really deepened the experience as local children came to visit, and we played games and helped prepare dinner."
