Description
This unforgettable journey offers the legendary beauty of Kaua‘i’s most iconic sights. Begin with a short, scenic flight from O‘ahu and immerse yourself in the grandeur of Waimea Canyon, often called the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific.” From the Waimea Canyon Lookout, marvel at the vibrant greenery, striking red soil, and dramatic cliffs that make this geological wonder truly extraordinary.
Next, visit the impressive 151-foot ʻŌpaekaʻa Falls, a cascading waterfall flowing into a hidden pool and celebrated for its “rolling shrimp” namesake. Capture the perfect photo and soak in the lush surroundings of one of Kaua‘i’s most beloved natural treasures.
Experience the power of the Spouting Horn Blowhole, where crashing waves surge through lava rock. This striking location is a photographer’s favorite and is steeped in Hawaiian legend. According to legends, the coastline in this area used to be guarded by a giant lizard or mo’o. This lizard would attack and eat anyone who came close to its territory. They say you can still hear the lizard roar through the blowhole!
Take in the broad views of Hanapēpē Valley, first explored by Charles Wilkes in 1840. From the lookout, enjoy sweeping views of a rich, fertile valley framed by rugged mountains.
Relax on a narrated two-mile open-air boat ride along the Wailua River, a serene journey immortalized in Elvis’ Blue Hawai‘i. Arrive at the enchanting Fern Grotto, a natural rock cave adorned with vibrant ferns, serenaded by the hauntingly beautiful Hawaiian Wedding Song.
Explore Old Kōloa Town, where you can browse charming shops and enjoy lunch on your own.
