Every day we tour the island of Kauaʻi to explore every angle and attraction of “The Garden Island.” From exploring deep rainforest valleys in raw jungle terrain or scaling majestic waterfalls on a steep cliffside, your guide will help you get some real-life experience as you go off-trail and challenge yourself alongside our hikers, sharing their knowledge, the knowledge you can only gain from living on Mama Gaia’s most stunning island paradise! 

When you’re exploring Kauai, there’s no better way to spend a few hours than hiking with the giant! This hike takes travelers on an adventurous 2-3 hour climb up one of the most identifiable and well-known points in Kaua’i. You’ll get energized for your next stop by conquering this 960 ft elevation gain; Afterwards, take a moment to explore the crumbling ruins near its summit before descending that vista that locals call The Sleeping Giant.

If you’re on Kaua’i and want a quick hike, then Nounou Mountain is your friend! This hike will take you to the top of Sleeping Giant, where gorgeous views and myths about how it got its name. There is an option for adding in a little more time through caves when booking. If you do that option, there is no need to hire for transportation back as we leave from the tour!

After a grueling hike/climb up the giant mountain, you’ve reached her head with sweeping views of our stunning coastline. Your reward for conquering the steep ascent is a refreshing dip in one (or more!) of her many waterfalls. This small dose of aloha will punctuate the adventure and invigorate weary travelers before continuing down to sea level; however, if this isn’t enough to entice your adventurous side or just a little too much for you, after all, that climbing – no worries! You don’t have to partake, but it adds about 4 hours onto the tour times, so be sure you’re famished beforehand as we stop at one of several tasty local restaurants to refuel! Take a hike, marvel at the scenery, and take it all in with a refreshing dip beneath a cascading waterfall. This tour is not for beginners but offers sweeping views of the majestic landscapes you’ve come to know on Kauai! And trust us, it’s worth every step.
