Full description

Experience the beaches of East Shore, the striking geology of Fern Grotto and lush North Shore. This tour shows you the spectacular sights of Kauai. Follow your guide for a journey on land and water. Your day starts as your tour guide picks you up on Kauai's North or East Shore. The comfortable, air-conditioned touring van offers large viewing windows on all sides for you to admire the beaches, mountains, and waterfalls.

Arrive at the Wailua River and step aboard a spacious open-air riverboat for a leisurely journey to the Fern Grotto.

A short walk through the rainforest brings you to one of Kauai's geological wonders, where ferns grow upside down in a natural amphitheater of lava rock – the perfect location to be serenaded and entertained by Hawaiian musicians and hula dancers. 

Continue your journey to other spectacular sites on the North and East Shores of our beautiful Garden Isle.

We had an amazing day with Domi. He taught us more about Kauai in one day than we could have possibly imagined. We also enjoyed hearing all of his life lessons as well. He really took the time to make sure we understood every spot we visited and different points along the way. A great day and a tour I know our family will talk about for years to come!

One of the most diverse tours in Kauai. We have traveled by both boat and the car around the most beautiful terrain in Kauai (waterfalls, river, beaches). Calvin, the guide, is great narrator and he keeps things interesting. 6 hours flew by really fast.

The tour was the complete opposite of what I thought it would be. I came away with wonderful images of Hawaiian history from the point of view of one whose family lived it, as well as incredible views of this beautiful island. I will remember with joy the whole day and Do Mi's running commentary! Thank you for such a terrific day!
