Embark on an unforgettable journey through Kauai’s natural wonders and cultural delights. This full-day adventure combines scenic river and road experiences, treating you to some of the island’s most legendary sights.
Board an air-conditioned motor coach for a picturesque two-hour drive to Waimea Canyon. As you pass through Lihue, the island’s main town, and charming small towns like Oma’o, Kalaheo, and Hanapepe, you’ll feel the anticipation build.
Arriving at Waimea Canyon, stand in awe before the breathtaking beauty that unfolds before you. Mark Twain aptly dubbed this geological wonder the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific." From a lookout 3,400 feet above the canyon floor, marvel at the dramatic red and brown volcanic slopes contrasting with lush green vegetation.
Back on the road, your adventure continues. Explore many of Kauai’s must-see attractions, including the Spouting Horn blowhole. Listen to timeless Hawaiian legends about its origin and witness the spectacular geyser of sea water when the tide is right.
Enjoy a delightful buffet lunch at a local restaurant, refueling for the next part of your journey.
Capture memorable photographs at Opaekaa Falls, a dramatic 151-foot waterfall framed by the Makaleha Mountains and a restored Hawaiian village.
Next, embark on a riverboat cruise up the famed Wailua River. Known for the Fern Grotto, this trip is ideal for those interested in Hawaiian music and the traditional hula dance. Don’t miss the live performance of the enchanting "Hawaiian Wedding Song."
As you make your way back to the ship, reflect on the intriguing places you’ve experienced. This active full-day excursion immerses you in Kauai’s natural beauty, small-town charm, and vibrant culture.
Please note:
There is uneven terrain and gravel pathways at Fern Grotto, this tour is not meant for guests with mobility issues. Wear comfortable clothing and shoes, sunglasses, sun protectant and a hat.
