Professional Tour Guide
Description:

This Kauai adventure tour will take you on a scenic trip around Waimea Canyon State Park. Waimea Canyon is over 10 miles long and over 3,000 feet deep and a mile wide, and is often referred to as “The Grand Canyon of the Pacific.” The canyon was formed by erosion and the collapse of the volcano that formed the island of Kauai. This popular tourist attraction provides a wilderness area with many hiking trails and beautiful vistas and breathtaking views.

The scenic drive along route 580 provides outstanding views of the Wailua River. We will make several 5-10 minutes stops for photo opportunities and restroom breaks providing for chances to stretch your legs and enjoy the natural beauty of the “Garden Isle.”

Waimea Canyon Tour Highlights:

  • Explore Waimea Canyon: (10 Miles long, 1/2 mile deap) - Millions of years of lava flows
  • Hanapepe Lookout 
  • Koloa Sugar Mill* and Queen Victoria's profile* (drive through)
  • Nawiliwili Harbor 
  • See south coast resorts and Coco Palm 

We will also visit Kauai’s “biggest little town”, Hanapepe Town. This little town was very busy during WWII and the 1950’s with GI’s and sailors training. This little town was also used as a location for many shows and films.

We continue our sightseeing adventure continues along the southern coast on our way to Poipu, a beautiful resort getaway and the home of the Spouting Horn. This natural wonder occurs when water rushes in under the lava shelf and bursts upward through a small hole in the surface.

As we conclude our scenic adventure tour, we head back to the Wailua River for your relaxing Wailua River Cruise (admission included)! This is the ONLY river boat trip in Hawaii! The trip up the historic river takes about 40 minutes one way on a long flat-bottom boat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Click on the red "Book It" button and make a request. You will receive a confirmation usually within hours. If it is not available you will not be charged and we'll help you find an alternative date or similar tour.
H Tours Hawaii is a "one stop shop" for all the best activities in the Hawaiian Islands. Since we work with many providers, reservations are necessary. WE HIGHLY recommend making reservations, as many activities are at a discount when you reserve in advance. Some providers even charge higher for those "walking in" because they know chances are you're not going to walk away. Finally, a reservation ensures you have a space on the tour. Trust us you don't want to spend so much time and money to come to Hawaii and then miss out on an activity because they were booked out!
Choose the tour you are interested in, click the red “Book It” button adjacent to the tour information, and complete the booking form.
Most companies, if not all, require you to call them if you're trying to book something 2-3 days in advance. Do you really want to be spending your valuable time in Hawaii calling around to desperately find something that is available to do? While we can usually accommodate most last-minute bookings, we highly encourage those that are checking out our website far in advance to book 2-3 weeks prior to desired date. You never know if there's a convention, special event, or an increase in overall visitors in town, and it would be a shame if the activities that you want to do are sold out because you waited until the last minute. Basically, if you know you want to do it, just book it!
Most companies have a set of centrally located hotels that they do pick ups from. This makes the pickup process short so you can start the tour as soon as possible! When you get to the booking page, select the hotel you are staying at. Your confirmation email will have the pickup location which will either be your hotel, or somewhere within 5 minute walking distance.
Gratuity is never required but if you enjoyed your experience, a tip is always greatly appreciated!

Easy way to see highlights of Kauai
Overall:
The tour of Waimea Canyon and boat trip on Wailua River was highlight of our visit to Kauai. We would not have driven to this part of the island ourselves. There are many switchbacks best left to a professional driver. The canyon views were stunning. The boat trip included some entertainment by the Smith family who hosted the tour. Our only concern was that the van driver who narrated the trip did ... morenot articulate well, so we missed some of what he was saying.

Fantastic Guide!...Great Way to See Kauai!
Overall:
We booked the half day trip to Waimea Canyon. Since our group was small (only 6 people) they put us in a van instead of the buses which meant we were able to go past Waimea Canyon up to the Kalalau lookout to view part of the cathedral cliffs of the Napali Coast which is not typically part of the tour. Juan was our tour guide and he was amazing. He shared lots of stories and history about the culture ... moreon the island. Though most of the places we went you can drive on your own, it's the stories and experiences he shared that really made the trip what it is.

Waimea‡ Canyon and Wailua River Tour
Overall:
This tour was a great way to see the beautiful island of Kauai, its vast scenery, many beaches, and movie locations. We were fortunate to have taken a plane tour of the island the previous day and this was enhanced by the land tour. The Canyon was so special and though the road up and back was very steep, we felt very safe with our driver Sam. When we stopped at a golf club for lunch, Sam entertained ... morehis guests with a serenade of the ukulele. We were further treated on the Wailua River Tour with singers, hula dancers and again, the ukulele. The Fern Grotto destination was amazingly beautiful. This was a long tour and Sam worked very hard to share his knowledge and love of the beautiful island of Kauai. My only dislike was that we spent time at a large tourist/souvenir destination and bypassed the coffee plantation, which most travellers would have preferred.
