Waimea Canyon Tour
Waimea Canyon - the Grand Canyon of the Pacific - is a geologic masterpiece. Carved by wind and rain over thousands of years, the canyon is ten miles (16 km) long, over 3,500 feet (900 m) deep, and a mile (1.6 km) wide. Waters descend to the river from Mount Wai’ale’ale, one of the wettest spots on earth, with an average rainfall of over 400 inches (10 meters). Panoramic views from the spectacular Kalalau lookout make this tour unforgettable.

- If you have a late flight departure the Waimea Canyon Tour is an excellent option for your last day on Kauai. For a truly magical ending to your vacation, you can add a sunset Na Pali dinner cruise.
- On Thursdays and Fridays hundreds of cruise ship passengers visit the canyon. The large tour buses only go to the first overlook, so they don’t get to see Kalalau Valley.
