About Roberts Hawaii Shore Excursions - Wailua River Cruise & Fern Grotto Afternoon Tour
Drift into the peaceful beauty of Kauai on an afternoon journey along the Wailua River, the longest navigable river in all of Hawaii. The gentle boat ride follows a freshwater river framed by tropical greenery, with songs and stories of the old Hawaii adding meaning to the scenery along the way.
Step ashore at Fern Grotto, a fern-fringed lava cave that forms a natural amphitheater and has long been a popular setting for weddings. The tour also visits the Opaekaa Falls lookout point, where one of Kauai's most beautiful waterfalls drops 151 feet into a hidden pool below.
