About Oahu to Kauai - Waimea Canyon, Wailua River & Fern Grotto
Fly from Oahu to Kauai for a full day that combines canyon scenery, historic towns, river cruising and some of the Garden Isle's best-known landmarks. The day begins at Waimea Canyon, where deep valleys and layered red and green cliffs stretch across one of Kauai's most dramatic landscapes.
From there, continue to Old Koloa Town for time to explore and enjoy lunch on your own before heading to the Wailua River. A narrated boat cruise carries you inland through the lush valley, followed by a short rainforest walk to Fern Grotto, a natural lava rock formation covered in tropical ferns.
The tour also includes stops at Opaeka'a Falls and Spouting Horn before visiting Kauai Coffee Estate for a tasting. After a full day of sightseeing, return to the airport for your flight back to Oahu.
