• Hanapepe Valley Lookout - The journey begins at the lush Hanapepe Valley, a perfect introduction to the Canyon. Partially owned by descendants of a missionary family, this valley is rich in history and natural splendor. Although not visible from the road, Jurassic Falls is hidden deep within this valley.
• Hanapepe - Next on the itinerary is a visit to the delightful and historic Hanapepe town. Travel back in time by crossing the iconic swinging bridge, built in 1912, savor pastries and drinks at a local bakery, and explore the local art galleries and souvenir shops. For Disney enthusiasts, this town inspired the film Lilo & Stitch.
• Waimea Canyon State Park - Waimea Canyon State Park is one of Kauai’s treasures, often called the mini Grand Canyon of the Pacific. There will be three stops, including the main lookout at 3,400 feet elevation. Experience the Canyon from different perspectives and catch a distant view of the Forbidden Island of Niihau. Many stories will be shared, and stunning photos will be captured.

Majestic beauty at its finest!

• Waimea - Around 12:30-1 pm, the tour will proceed to the picturesque Waimea Plantation Cottages, established in the early 1900s during the sugar plantation era. Overlooking the blue Pacific Ocean and surrounded by tropical trees, enjoy a delicious lunch at the renowned Chicken in a Barrel, featuring the largest beer wall on the island. After lunch, there is an option to take a leisurely stroll through the beautifully landscaped property to visit Waimea Bay, one of the few black sand beaches, and Captain Cook’s first landing site in Hawaii.
• Kauai Coffee Company - Post-lunch, prepare to explore the enchanting world of coffee at the largest plantation in the USA, Kauai Coffee Co. Sample a variety of roasts for free at the visitor center, wander through the coffee tree garden, and shop for a wide selection of the freshest beans at their gift shop. Not a coffee fan? Enjoy ice cream or a cold beverage at the snack shop.
• Spouting Horn - The adventure concludes with a visit to the stunning Spouting Horn, an extinct lava tube transformed into a water geyser. Be amazed by nature’s power as waves crash on the shore and water surges through the tube like a geyser. The guide will share the legend of the site, complete with sound effects. As the tour returns to the starting point, it will pass through the famous Tree Tunnel, planted in 1912.
