Ultimate Kauai Experience 55-60 Minutes
Explore Kauai's unreachable beauty. You will see the Na Pali Coast, Wailua Falls, Waimea Caynon and Mount Waialeale while learning about the history and legends of the island.
Tour Waimea Canyon, known as the " Grand Canyon of the South Pacific." It is truly a spectacular sight.
Mount Waialeale has an average annual rainfall of about forty feet and is known as the wettest spot on earth. Most of the mountain rain drains into the nearby Alakai Swamp, home to several rare species of birds and plants.
Wailua Falls is known as Fantasy Island Waterfalls for their cameo appearance weekly in the television series of the same name.
The legendary Na Pali Coast has dramatic cliffs chisled by time to a razor sharp beckoning. This sight is spellbinding no matter how many times you see it. This is the home of the legendary Bali Hai as seen in the 20th Century Fox movie, South Pacific.
Flight Includes: Ground briefing, personally narrated tour, complimentary coffee, air-conditioning, choreographed CD music through rich stereophonic headsets with volume control. You can purchase the pilot-narrated video of your actual flight on DVD.
