Waimea Canyon, Wailua River & Fern Grotto Tour

Choose this tour and get ready to immerse yourself in Kauai's extraordinary natural beauty, starting from the moment you arrive!

Your adventure kicks off at Waimea Canyon, often referred to as "The Grand Canyon of the Pacific." This impressive gorge stretches over 10 miles (15 kilometers) long and approximately 1 mile (1.6 kilometers) wide, offering stunning views of its deep valleys and vibrant red soil surrounded by lush vegetation that will truly enchant you.

Next, we visit Opaekaa Falls. This peaceful waterfall, standing at 151 feet (46 meters) tall and 40 feet (12 meters) wide, is among the largest and most accessible falls on the island. Interestingly, the name "opaekaa" translates to "rolling shrimp" in Hawaiian.

Our following destination is the famous Spouting Horn Blowhole, a must-see spot known for its dramatic water sprays crashing against the lava rocks. Don’t miss the breathtaking views from the Hanapepe Valley lookout point, where you can gaze over the lush landscape filled with greenery and wild sugarcane.

Then, we’ll embark on a serene 2-hour boat ride on the Wailua River. Upon disembarking at Fern Grotto, you will enjoy a short walk through a tropical rainforest to a unique fern-filled cave. As a traditional Hawaiian wedding song serenades you, we’ll conclude our tour before transferring you back to the airport for your return to Oahu.

After approximately 13.5 hours, we will say our goodbyes, leaving you to continue your Hawaiian journey.

Kauai Movie Adventure Tour

If you’re a cinema enthusiast, this tour is tailored for you! Get ready to explore iconic filming locations from various Hollywood blockbusters.

Upon arrival in Kauai, we dive straight into the itinerary, starting at Ahukini Landing, known for scenes featured in the 1963 film "Donovan's Reef," starring the legendary John Wayne.

Next, we'll visit Lydgate Beach, a spot familiar to film buffs as it served as a backdrop for the classic film "Blue Hawaii" starring Elvis Presley.

Then we move on to Kapaa Town, which played a role in the 1993 classic "Jurassic Park." While much of the film was shot in Oahu, the lush landscapes of Kauai contributed to its prehistoric charm.

We will also stop at Kealia's lookout point and the picturesque Kalalea Mountain, the latter affectionately known as "King Kong's Profile" for its striking resemblance to the iconic character.

Our tour will take you to Princeville, a location that influenced the animated film "Lilo & Stitch." Finally, we’ll conclude our journey in Hanalei Town, where the Oscar-winning movie "The Descendants" was filmed, allowing you time to enjoy lunch as well.

Capping off at about 13.5 hours, we will return you to the airport for your journey back to Oahu.
