See the best of Kauai on a 6-hour driving tour and a riverboat cruise to the Fern Grotto. Admire the view from your air-conditioned vehicle’s large windows and visit waterfalls, beaches, a lighthouse, and a bird sanctuary while you learn about the history and folklore of the island from your friendly guides.

Admire East Shore beaches, mountains, waterfalls and heiau’s (sacred ancient Hawaiian sites) with plenty of photo opportunities along the way. Board an open-air boat on the Wailua River and enjoy performances by Hawaiian musicians and hula dancers during a 2-mile cruise to the Fern Grotto. Take a short nature walk through the rainforest to the grotto, a geological wonder where ferns grow upside down from the roof.

Next visit the Kilauea Lighthouse and Wildlife Refuge to spot a variety of seabirds like the Layson albatross, boobies, tropic birds, and Hawaiian geese (open Wednesdays, we visit the Lookout Mondays).

Back on the road, see exquisite North Shore spots including Anini Beach, Taro Fields, the Hanalei Bay, Sleeping Giant, and historic Waioli Church. Learn about sugar cane fields and old plantations as your knowledgeable guides tell tales of Kauai’s past. Hanalei is temporarily closed due to road closure. This is the only tour that combines all these attractions in one day.
