After a quick flight, your small-group mini coach tour begins at Opaeka‘a Falls, where water tumbles 151 feet into a lush valley. Then, take in sweeping views of taro fields and the towering emerald mountains from the Hanalei Valley Lookout.

For lunch, enjoy time on your own in Hanalei Town, a charming North Shore community. Choose from a variety of local eateries, including Tahiti Nui, featured in The Descendants. While in town, browse unique shops and stop by Lydgate Chocolate’s tasting room to sample handcrafted chocolates made from Kauai-grown cacao.

Step into Kauai’s deep-rooted traditions at Poli‘ahu Heiau, an ancient Hawaiian temple, and visit the Birthing Stone, a sacred site where Hawaiian royalty was born. These historic locations provide a powerful connection to Hawaii’s past.

Upgrade Your Experience: Kauai Eco Adventure Helicopter Tour
Before returning to Oahu, elevate your journey with a once-in-a-lifetime helicopter tour. With over 70% of Kauai inaccessible by road, the island’s most breathtaking landscapes can only be fully appreciated from the air.

After your land tour, you’ll be dropped off at the heliport for a mandatory 45-minute safety briefing before taking to the skies for an awe-inspiring aerial adventure. Glide over towering sea cliffs, deep emerald valleys, and cascading waterfalls as you fly above Manawaiopuna Falls (famously known as “Jurassic Park Falls”), the stunning Waimea Canyon, and the dramatic Na Pali Coast.

Weather permitting, your pilot will take you to Mt. Wai‘ale‘ale, one of the wettest places on Earth, where you’ll witness lush rainforest-covered peaks and 3,000-foot waterfalls plunging down sheer cliffs—a truly unforgettable finish to your Kauai adventure.

Following the helicopter tour, it’s just a short walk to the Lihue Airport for your return flight to Oahu.

With expert guides, seamless transportation, and an itinerary packed with Kauai’s most stunning sights, this ultimate land and sky adventure is the best way to experience the Garden Isle in a day.
