Waimea Canyon and Wailua River Tour [K1]
Enjoy a day filled with the beauty, legends, and saga of the, "Garden Isle"! On this Kauai tour you will enjoy a day filled with the lush beauty, legends and saga of Hawaii's "Garden Isle." Journey to the majestic Waimea Canyon, which Mark Twain called, "the Grand Canyon of the Pacific". Over 10 miles long, and almost 4,000 feet deep this marvel was formed by erosion and the catastrophic collapse of the volcano that created Kauai. Waimea Canyon State Park encompasses 1,866 acres and is a popular tourist attraction on the island. It provides a wilderness area with numerous hiking trails.
 It can be accessed from Waimea on Hawaiʻi state road 550, which is 18 miles long and leads up to Koke'e State Park. The island of Niihau, only a short distance west of Kauai at that point, can be clearly seen from the highway. You will see Spouting Horn and the south coast Poipu Resorts, Koloa Sugar Mill, Queen Victoria's profile and Nawiliwili Harbor. Your journey continues with a cruise along Wailua River to the famed Fern Grotto. See the cascading Opaeka`a Falls, the birth stones, and Coco Palms featured in the famous Elvis Presley movie, Blue Hawaii.

Well worth the time. It was obvious that our tour guide loves her job. She was enthusiastic, funny, and was always offering to take photos of us at the stops. It was interesting to see how many 'countries' and other locations Kauai was used to portray. Reviewed by: M. K., USA, July 2009

Me and my daughter, on our trip to Kauai, went on the Waimea Canyon, Wailua River, and Fern Grotto Tour (all activities on the same tour). The guide was so nice and the stops were gorgeous. Not only that, but the guide took his time and wasn't rushing. For the cheap price we got, or for any price, we got amazing value and a memory we will cherish forever! If you go to Kauai, this is a MUST SEE!
