What To Expect

Kalapaki Beach

Your first stop is Kalapaki, home to a pristine white beach and some impossibly calm water, thanks to a sea wall which keeps the waves at bay.

Grove Farm Sugar Plantation Museum

Get a dose of Hawaiian history at the Sugarcane & Grove Farm, where you'll learn about how this cash crop forever altered the course of Hawaii's future.

Old Koloa Town

Get a glimpse into the past at Old Koloa Town, a quaint little village dating back to the days of sugar plantations.

Poipu Beach Park

Why settle for one beach when you can have two in one spot? Poipu Beach consists of two sandy crescents forming a double beach, and is a perfect spot for swimming, snorkeling, and much more.

Russian Fort Elizabeth State Historical Park

Up next is a truly strange historical landmark: a Russian fort left over from a failed invasion attempt! Get to know the story behind it as you explore this peculiar piece of history.

Niihau - The Forbidden Island

You'll then pass Niihau, also known as The Forbidden Island. This privately-owned island has been forbidden to visitors for generations.

Puu Hinahina Lookout

For the best look at the Waimea Canyon, proceed to the Pu'u Hinahina Lookout. Here, you'll have the chance to snap some photos that are guaranteed to make your friends jealous!

Waimea Canyon State Park

If you want to actually trek into the canyon itself, you'll come next to the Waimea Canyon Trails, offering incredible hikes for all experience levels--as well as plenty of extra viewpoints!

I enjoyed listening to stories of the history of Kauai. I wouldn't have known as much about Kauai or been able to find many of the stops on the tour. It made my solo trip enjoyable and I was able to learn along the way.

Thank you so much for your feedback, Luisa! I’m delighted that my tour of Kauai added to your learning and that you enjoyed it. I also have 100 other self-guided tours for other parks, scenic drives, cities, and historic sites in the US — hopefully, you’ll get the chance to try them next time! Also, just to remind you, the tour you bought is yours for a lifetime. So, you can listen to it at home or on your next visit.

You have to follow the pre instructions for this and as long as you do it’s great. Really cool to drive without a group of folks and spend as much or as little time at a place as you want. I’d recommend researching Waimea and all the hiking trains along the coast before this. There are spots you’ll want to get to before 11am and if you’re wanting to hike this is a full day experience. If all you want to do is drive and stop for a pic or 2 you can do it in 2-3 hours.
