This six-hour driving tour takes you to the best official and "unofficial" overlooks of Kaua'i's natural wonders.

Kaua'i's lush vegetation, tall waterfalls, and beautiful beaches make it a popular destination - in fact, it is nicknamed "The Garden Isle." You'll stop at Waimea Canyon, Kaua'i's "Grand Canyon", and the Nā Pali Coast, a serene stretch of coastline with towering, rugged sea cliffs. Along the way, your guide will "talk story" about Kaua'i's history and culture. The tour includes some short hiking options so you can stroll through Kaua'i's beautiful backdrops.
Travel east to west from “Sunny Po‘ipū” through Hanapēpē, a once-agricultural town now thriving with local art and charm, before reaching historic Waimea, one of the first areas believed to have been settled by Polynesian explorers. From sea level in Waimea, we’ll journey across the island’s lush interior, winding steadily northward along the rim of the spectacular Waimea Canyon.
At each overlook, step out to feel the refreshing rush of cool mountain air and take in the canyon’s bright colors and dramatic cliffs. If you’d like to stretch your legs, your guide will choose short, scenic trails that suit your comfort level. The adventure culminates with breathtaking views of the world-famous Nā Pali Coast on Kaua‘i’s North Shore — offering some of the most beautiful scenery in all of Hawai‘i.
