Kauai Highlights Tour – Waimea Canyon and Beyond
See Kauai’s rugged beauty and local character in one unforgettable day. This small-group sightseeing tour is led by a locally owned, family-operated company that’s been sharing the island with visitors since 2013. You’ll explore the dramatic south and west sides of Kauai, including Waimea Canyon, Spouting Horn, historic towns, and more — without doing the driving yourself.

What This Tour Is Like
Settle into a comfortable, air-conditioned van and let your local guide handle the roads while you enjoy the views. Along the way, you’ll hear stories about Kauai’s history, culture, geology, and everyday life — the kind of insights you don’t get from a guidebook.
This isn’t a crowded bus tour. With small groups, the pace is relaxed, the vibe is personal, and you’ll have time to take in each stop.
Tour Highlights & Stops
You’ll visit a curated set of top Kauai locations on the south and west sides of the island:
Waimea Canyon (“The Grand Canyon of the Pacific”)
Take in sweeping views from multiple scenic lookouts. Deep red cliffs, lush valleys, and dramatic ridgelines make this one of the most photographed places in Hawaii.
Spouting Horn Blowhole
Watch ocean water surge through a natural lava tube and blast into the air. It’s one of Kauai’s most famous coastal features.
Kauai Coffee Company
Walk the grounds of Hawaii’s largest coffee estate and sample locally grown coffee.
Hanapepe Town
Stroll through this historic plantation-era town known for art galleries, charming shops, and the iconic swinging bridge.
Local Bakery Stop
