Hollywood has long had a love affair with the beautiful island of Kauai. The film version of “South Pacific” was even responsible for giving the north shore’s pinnacle the name Bali Hai. Elvis and his hit movie “Blue Hawaii” led to the popular tradition of the Hawaiian Wedding Song and put the Coco Palms Resort (and the entire island) on the map! Some of the biggest Hollywood blockbusters have been filmed here … Raiders of the Lost Ark, Pirates of the Caribbean, Jurassic Park, Six Days and Seven Nights, The Descendants, Just Go With It, and the new TV show The River … the list goes on and on and on … and on!
Kauai’s lush tropical setting features beautiful rainforests, breathtaking ocean-side cliffs, and sparkling sand beaches. In stark contrast to Kauai’s lushness is Waimea Canyon State Park. Thousands of years of volcanic activity, earthquakes, and erosion have created a dramatic variation in the landscape. Waimea Canyon, “The Grand Canyon of the Pacific”, is the showpiece of this tour and offers amazing views of the remote western coast of the island. The 3500 foot deep canyon’s beauty and size is awe-inspiring, including the waterfalls visible in the distance. Blue sky, glowing red rocks, and brilliant green foliage combine for a study in color and contrast. The canyon rim is home to unique native tree ferns and koa forests, with temperatures noticeably cooler than at sea level. The Fern Grotto can also be added to this tour.
The most popular day trip to another island is for visitors to fly to Oahu to visit Pearl Harbor to see the Arizona Memorial, the USS Missouri Battleship, the USS Bowfin Submarine, and the Pacific Aviation Museum.
The best way to visit Pearl Harbor from Kauai is to do a fly-drive package. You get round-trip airfare from the main airport in Lihue on Kauai to Honolulu, and the use of a rental car for the day. Tour Pearl Harbor ( Pearl Harbor is very close to the airport, and the rental car attendant will give you a map and directions to get there.) See Waikiki Beach … Enjoy the freedom of planning your own day and save money compared to structured tours.
On this unique tour, you will visit the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, explore Mauna Loa, the world’s largest volcano, and Kilauea,the world’s most active volcano. You will also visit the town of Hilo, Rainbow Falls, Queen Lydia Liliuokalani Gardens, and see amazing natural formations, including the Kilauea Iki Steam Vents and the Thurston Lava Tube. Learn about the chronological life of the volcano at the Jaggar Museum, and view the overlook of the Halema’uma’u Crater.
