✈️ Oahu to Kauai - Waimea Canyon, Wailua River & Fern Grotto

Escape to another Hawaiian island for a day on this all-inclusive tour. From Oahu, fly over to Kauai and journey to Waimea Canyon, known as the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific." It is one of the world’s most inspiring geological wonders, featuring expansive peaks, valleys and deep gorges. The Waimea Canyon Lookout offers scenic views with its striking red soil covered in greenery. Later, enjoy lunch on your own in historic Old Koloa Town, surrounded by its charming atmosphere.

Then cruise down the Wailua River on a narrated 2-mile ride on an open-air boat, down a meandering freshwater river amidst a lush rainforest jungle. At the end of the Wailua River, walk through a tropical rainforest to Fern Grotto, a fern-covered lava cave. Listen to the melodious, live performance of the Hawaiian wedding song as you enjoy the verdant surroundings.

The tour then continues on to Opaeka'a Falls, a 151-foot waterfall that flows over basalt from volcanic eruptions millions of years ago. Witness nature’s raw power at the Spouting Horn blowhole. And finally, sample estate-grown Hawaiian coffees at Kauai Coffee Estate, the largest coffee farm in the U.S.
