This tour captures the very best of the "Garden Isle" of Kauai –
visit Waimea Canyon State Park and then enjoy a tranquil boat cruise
up the Wailua River to Fern Grotto.
Waimea Canyon is one of Kauai’s top natural attractions. At over 10
miles long, 3,000 feet deep and one mile wide, the canyon is also known
as the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific." From the lookout point you’ll
enjoy spectacular views of the canyon’s multi-colored rock walls and
cascading waterfalls. Look closely and you may even see a mountain goat
navigating the steep rock walls with ease.
Later, you’ll enjoy a tranquil boat cruise up the Wailua River, the
only navigable river in all of Hawaii! Framed by lush vegetation and
mangrove at its banks, the boat tour offers plenty of scenic views and
great photo opportunities. The highlight of the boat tour is Fern
Grotto, a fern-covered lava cave. Because of the cave’s excellent
acoustics, music is often being played in it.
This tour also takes you to other Kauai attractions, including
beautiful Opaeka'a Falls and Spouting Horn, a lava tube at the ocean’s
edge that shoots water up into the air when the ocean forces water into
it.
