Kauai Waimea Canyon & South Shore Excursion. Small Group

About this activity

Kick back in the comfort of our clean-air condition vehicles as we take you on a journey to enjoy the highlights of Kauai's South and West. Marvel at the power of nature at the Waimea Canyon and the Spouting horn water geyser, enjoy free samples at the largest coffee orchard in the US, walk to the Bay where the first Western explorers set foot, visit charming and authentic Hawaiian towns, and shop for locally made souvenirs.

Our tours are lead by a mother and daughter owned business with over 20 years of combined experience. This is not your ordinary tour. We crafted this experience as if we were in your shoes. We believe in quality over quantity; our groups are small not to exceed 13.

Take the day off from driving and let us show you Kauai through local eyes.

The main Canyon lookout is closed for restoration until December 2025. The Canyon is about 15 miles long and 2 miles wide, therefore you can still enjoy phenomenal views from many spots as you go up the Canyon road.
