Waimea Canyon Tours

Waimea Canyon And Fern Grotto

A black Polynesian Adventure tour bus by the ocean.

Kauai offers an array of natural wonders and unique adventures, and this immersive tour highlights the must-see attractions. Begin your journey at a scenic lookout, where you'll gaze across the valley at Opaeka'a Falls, one of Kauai's largest waterfalls, named for the opae (shrimp) that once inhabited its turbulent waters.
Next, board a spacious, open-air boat and cruise down the Wailua River, surrounded by miles of lush trees and tropical plants. As cool breezes lull you, the captain shares stories of ancient Hawaii when the riverbanks were lined with Hawaiian heiau (temples). Stroll along a paved path to the fern grotto, a natural lava rock cave draped with ferns. This popular wedding backdrop features entertainers who will serenade you with the Hawaiian Wedding Song.
Enjoy a full-service, dine-in lunch at Puakea Grill, where you can choose from a pre-fixe menu featuring fresh, local produce.
Continue your journey through Kauai’s countryside, ascending a vast mountain via a winding, tree-lined road to reveal what Mark Twain described as the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific." The immense cliffs and deep gorges of Waimea Canyon are breathtaking and will leave a lasting impression.
Finally, visit the sprawling Kauai Coffee Plantation to learn about the coffee production process, from initial blossoming and harvesting to final roasting. Sample the exclusive line of estate-grown Hawaiian coffees while basking in the warm sun.

Waimea Cayon And Kokee Tour

Waimea Canyon and Koke'e Adventure booking offer.

Journey through the heart of Kauai’s countryside, where you'll ascend a vast mountain via a scenic, tree-lined road to reveal what Mark Twain aptly described as the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific." It's hard to believe that the immense cliffs and deep gorges of Waimea Canyon could exist on an island—you'll be mesmerized by its scenic beauty long after your vacation.
Next, watch the ocean waves propel jets of water through lava rock at the Spouting Horn Blowhole, an iconic natural wonder. In the quaint town of Hanapepe, surrounded by sugar cane fields, enjoy the view of Hanapepe Valley from the lookout.
Venture down a nature trail in Koke’e State Park for an easy hike surrounded by native Hawaiian flora and fauna. The first portion of the hike is a gradual uphill stroll for about 30 yards before it levels out, hugging the contours of the hill. Listen for the lyrical chirping of the rare red 'apapane or i’iwi birds as they sip nectar from the blossoms on the native trees.
Peer at the expanse of Waimea Valley from Puu Hinahina lookout point and visit the newly unveiled King Kaumuali‘i Statue at Pa‘ula‘ula, more commonly known as the Russian Fort.
Lastly, you'll be welcomed at the Kauai Coffee Plantation near the coast. Take a stroll through the coffee orchard that leads toward the ocean, where you can see the entire coffee process, from initial blossoming and harvesting to the final roasting. Sample the exclusive line of estate-grown Hawaiian coffees while relaxing in the warm Hawaiian sun.
Embark on this unforgettable journey through Kauai’s breathtaking landscapes and rich cultural history!
