Kauai Waimea Canyon & South Shore Excursion. Small Group

We will pick up some fresh made pastries to go and enjoy at the Kauai Coffee Company (3rd stop on tour). If you never tried our famous malasadas, aka Portuguese donuts, this will be your chance. They also have an array of other sweet and savory pastries.

Our adventure continues to the south side of kauai with a drive through the famous Tree Tunnel planted in 1912. In Poipu we will visit the beautiful Spouting Horn, an extinct lava tube that became a water geyser. Marvel at the power of nature as the waves crash on the shore and water rushes through the tube like a geyser. Your guide will share the legend of the site, sound effects and all.

Next in our journey is a visit to the magical world of coffee, Kauai Coffee Co., the largest plantation in the USA. Time to eat your pastries and sample delicious and free coffee at the visitor center. During your visit you can also take a stroll through the coffee tree garden, and shop for a wide selection of the freshest beans at their gift shop. Don’t like coffee? Enjoy an ice cream or cold beverage at the snack shop.

Waimea Canyon State Park is one of Kauai's natural wonders, known as the mini Grand Canyon of the Pacific. Marvel at this geological gem from various lookouts as we ascend the mountain. We will get out of the van at 3 different locations to take pictures of different angles of the Canyon, including the main lookout at 3400' elevation. Take the day off from driving. Breath the fresh mountain air. Majestic beauty at its finest!

Cottages built in the early 1900's during the sugar plantation days. Overlooking at the blue Pacific Ocean and many tropical trees, we will enjoy delicious lunch at famous Chicken in a Barrel, with the largest beer wall on island. After lunch you will have the option to take a leisure stroll through the beautifully landscaped property to visit Waimea Bay, one of our few black sand beaches, and Captain Cook's first landing place in Hawaii.

Last on our journey is a visit to the charming and historic town of Hanapepe. Step back in time and take a walk across the famous swinging bridge, built in 1912. This is a good town to seat down and watch people go by while enjoying some fresh squeezed lemonade, and/or shop for some wonderful souvenirs made in the state and by local artisans. For Disney lovers, this is the town that inspired the original film Lilo & Stich.
