Kauai Private Waimea Canyon and Culture Tour

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.

What to expect:

Duration: 7 hours

Hanapepe Valley Lookout

Kaumualii Hwy, Hanapepe, 96741, Hawaii

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.

10 minutes

Hanapepe

Hanapepe, Hawaii

Time to step back in time and visit Historic Hanapepe town, revitalized after World War II and turned into an artsy haven. Here you will be able to enjoy some fresh made local pastries and beverages, walk the swinging bridge that crosses the Hanapepe River, built in 1912, visit some art galleries, and shop for locally made souvenirs and crafts. If you love Lilo and Stich, this is the town that inspired that film. Hanapepe is an authentic town full of historic charm, unlike any other on Kauai.

50 minutes

Waimea Canyon State Park

Waimea Canyon Dr, Waimea, 96796, Hawaii

Get ready to marvel at the mini Grand Canyon of the Pacific, the highlight of our day and one of the most beautiful places on Kauai. We will be making 3 stops here including the main lookout, and more. We will have ample time at each location to take amazing pictures of different angles of the Canyon. Bathroom stops will be available throughout most of the park.

Koke'e State Park

Kokee Rd, Hwy 550, , Kekaha, 96716, Hawaii

We will continue to ascend the mountain past the Waimea Canyon State Park to explore the high forest of Kokee. Weather permitting (Not guarantee) you will marvel at the breathtaking Kalalau Valley lookout, the largest valley of the famous Nepali coast. We will stop for lunch at the Kokee Lodge, originally built in the 1930s as a hunting lodge. Their food is made with locally grown ingredients and it tastes like home.

1 hour, 40 minutes • Admission Ticket Included

Spouting Horn

South Shore, , Poipu, Hawaii

Last but not least in our agenda, we will visit 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.
