About Oahu to Kauai - Waimea Canyon, Wailua River & Fern Grotto
Fly from Oahu to Kauai for a full-day inter-island tour featuring Waimea Canyon, Wailua River, Fern Grotto, Spouting Horn and Kauai Coffee Estate.
Trade Oahu's bustle for Kauai's wild landscapes on this seamless, all-inclusive day trip. A quick inter-island flight delivers you to the Garden Isle, where Waimea Canyon—dubbed the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific"—unfolds in layers of red and green from a dramatic lookout point. After photos and commentary, the tour rolls into Old Koloa Town for lunch on your own amid plantation-era storefronts and shaded banyan trees.
The afternoon shifts from cliffs to calm water on a narrated cruise up the Wailua River. At the head of the valley, a short stroll beneath rainforest canopy leads to Fern Grotto, a lava cave draped in hanging fronds where musicians serenade visitors with the Hawaiian Wedding Song.
Next stops include Opaeka'a Falls, Spouting Horn blowhole and a tasting of estate-grown brews at Kauai Coffee Estate—the largest coffee farm in the United States—before your return flight to Oahu.
