Begin your private excursion by meeting your guide at the Kauai pier in Nawiliwili Harbor and then taking a scenic drive on Kauai’s west coast through Waimea Canyon–the Pacific’s version of the Grand Canyon. This picturesque route leads you to the Hanapepe Lookout, where you’ll get to take in the breathtaking views of the lush, green terrain of Hanapepe Valley, that attracted Steven Spielberg to film part of Jurassic Park at this very location. Next, travel to the center of Hanapepe to view the historic Hanapepe Swinging Bridge, a suspension bridge, built at the turn of the 20th century that enabled locals to cross the nearly nine feet-wide Hanapepe River.

Continue your tour to the iconic Waimea Canyon lookout, where you’ll get unobstructed views of the Waimea Canyon that’s spectacular and camera-ready for the perfect Insta-worthy photos. Next, head to the Spouting Horn blowhole, where you’ll get to hear the hissing sounds of this popular attraction that releases water as high as 50 feet into the air from the powerful waves that channel via a natural lava tube. Legend has it that the hissing sounds you hear and powerful spew of water from this epic blowhole are from the breath of a giant mythical lizard that once guarded the coastline and now lays trapped in the natural lava tube. Conclude your tour with a scenic drive through the Eucalyptus tree-lined highway of Tree Tunnel before returning to the pier at Nawiliwili Harbor.

Departing from the pier for your Kauai Luau tour, you will be transported to a location for a memorable Luau experience featuring the best of traditional Hawaiian dishes and local favorites, as well as entertainment highlighting Polynesian culture.

The Luau honors the traditions of Polynesia and includes a delicious dinner with a wide variety of local delicacies, desserts, and cocktails. Following the feast, guests are treated to the lyrical sway of the Hawaiian Hula and the fiery emotion of the Samoan fire knife dance.

Experience Polynesia through song and dance of different cultures and embrace the “spirit of aloha.” Afterward, you will be driven back to the pier.

Called “The Grand Canyon of the Pacific” by Mark Twain, this fascinating Waimea Canyon tour in Kauai offers spectacular views that rival it’s mainland cousin yet with an island personality all its own. For example, a stop will be made during the excursion to see the Spouting Horn. The Poipu surf channels into a natural lava tube and releases a huge spout of water during large swells. Listen for the hiss and roar; local legend tells of a great lizard that long ago got stuck in the tube.

The actual canyon is bursting with ever-changing color, yellow ginger, and eucalyptus trees. Kauai’s own mokihana berries grow up to 3,500-foot elevation. We take you up to 3,400 feet to the canyon overlook and provide a visual history commentary along the way. A short walk from the transportation takes you to the overlook.

Waimea, located on the western end of Kauai, offers a rich history and plenty of adventure. The town’s claim to fame: it marks the spot where Captain Cook first set foot on Hawaiian soil in 1778.

On the return drive, you will pass through Old Koloa Town. Established in 1834 and situated in the heart of Hawaii’s first sugar cane plantation, quaint old buildings have been carefully renovated and restored and are now home to unique shops and restaurants. As you drive by, your guide will share fascinating stories about life in the plantation era.
