Waimea Canyon Sightseeing Tour Features

Waimea Canyon Waterfall Aerial Kauai Feature

A Canyon Years in the Making

Waimea canyon is a vivid reminder of the impressive power of mother nature. Volcanos, earthquakes and erosion have created dramatic variation in the landscape over hundreds of thousands of years. The 3000-foot deep canyon’s natural beauty and size is awe-inspiring, including the waterfalls that are visible in the distance.

An Immersive Tour

Journey through the heart of Kaua‘i’s countryside where you’ll ascend a vast mountain via a meandering road engulfed by trees and endless fields to view Waimea Canyon. Feel the spray as you watch jets of water launch through lava rock at the Spouting Horn Blowhole. Cross the famous Hanapēpē Swinging Bridge. Stroll through the Koke’e State Park surrounded by native Hawai‘ian flora and fauna. Top it off with a coffee sampling from the Kaua‘i Coffee Plantation. This tour immerses you in some of the best experiences that Kaua‘i has to offer.

Description

Begin your day of exploration with a pickup from your hotel or condo on Kaua‘i for a drive out to Waimea Canyon and the South coast of Kaua‘i. The Grand Canyon of the Pacific is the ultimate destination on the island and the central location of the day's adventure. This amazing geological feature is over 3000ʻ deep, 10 miles long and a mile across. One of the largest, most dramatic canyons in Hawai‘i. The sheer scale of this canyon is a monument to the geological power that carved these islands out of the water in the first place.

Drive through historic towns and visit Spouting Horn Blowhole along the Southern Coast as well. The day is spent enjoying scenic overlooks, unique historical sites, natural phenomenon and listening to wonderful stories that your guide will share.

Return to your hotel at about 5:30 pm after a full, satisfying day immersed in Kauai's history and beauty. The Garden Isle is one of the most beautiful in the world, and we make it easy to come out and see its beauty for yourself.
