Our tours are lead by a small local family owned business with over 20 years of experience in the field. This is not your ordinary tour. We crafted this experience as if we were going on it. We believe in quality over quantity, and we want to deliver more than what you dreamed of. Make sure to let us know if you want to customize your experience. Our tours support small Kauai owned businesses.

Our excursion visits several lookouts at the famous mini Grand Canyon of the Pacific, the powerful Spouting horn, the breathtaking Kalalau Valley lookout (weather permitting), and charming Hanapepe town. Enjoy freshly made treats at a local bakery (optional), and locally sourced lunch up in the mountain.

Take the day off from driving and see Kauai through local eyes.

We offer free hotel (south and east only), airport, and harbor pick up and drop off. Guests coming from the north meet us in Kapaa in a central location TBA. Contact us direct if your party is larger than 5.

    Spouting Horn

    Our day begins with a visit to the Spouting horn in Poipu. This stunning natural beauty is the product of a now extinct volcano; a water blow hole that can reach heights up to 20 feet. Experience the power of nature as the water spouts like a geyser. On our way out of Poipu, we will drive through the famous Tree tunnel.

    This beautiful verdant valley is the perfect preamble to the Waimea Canyon. It is partially owned by the Robinson family and the home of Jurassic falls. We will stop here for about 5-10 minutes to take pictures.

    Waimea Canyon State Park

    Waimea Canyon State Park is one of Kauai's natural wonders, known as the mini Grand Canyon of the Pacific. Marvel at this geological gem from various lookouts as we ascend the mountain to about 3800' in elevation. We will get out of the van in various locations for amazing picture ops. Majestic beauty at its finest!

    Koke'e State Park

    We will continue to ascend the mountain past the Waimea Canyon State Park to explore the high forest of Kokee. Here you will visit the breathtaking Kalalau Valley lookout (weather permitting) the largest valley of the famous Napali coast. We will also stop for lunch at the Kokee Lodge, originally built in the 1930s as a hunting lodge, now a restaurant serving tasty food made with locally sourced ingredients. Note: We only take groups of up to 6 people to the Kalalu Valley lookout because the roads are not optimal or safe for our larger vehicle.

    Hanapepe

    Last on our journey is a visit to the charming and historic town of Hanapepe. Step back in time and take a walk across the famous swinging bridge, built in 1912. This is a good town to seat down and watch people go by while enjoying some fresh squeezed lemonade, and/or shop for some wonderful souvenirs made in the state and by local artisans. For Disney lovers, this is the town that inspired the original film Lilo & Stich.

    45 minutes Admission ticket free
