Kauai Day Trip: Waimea Canyon, Wailua River from Oahu

Early morning pickup in Oahu takes you to the airport for your 45-minute flight to Kauai. Upon landing, your guide meets you in an air-conditioned van and you set off on your island adventure. Visit majestic Waimea Canyon, the biggest canyon in the Pacific. From the lookout, get breathtaking views of the canyon’s deep green valleys and rugged cliffs. Continue by van to the coast. Driving past Poipu Beach, stop at Spouting Horn Park, an ocean blowhole where the sea surges through a hole in the rock shelf. Further along the highway, Mount Ha’upu is said to sport a likeness of Queen Victoria’s profile on the mountainside. Your Kauai adventure wraps up on the east side of Kauai with a cruise along the Wailua River. As you glide down the 2-mile (3.2-kilometer) river to Fern Grotto, your guide points out gorgeous Opaekaa Falls and Wailua Falls.
