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!

Kalalau Lookout

One of the last lookouts on your tour is the Kalalau Lookout, offering spectacular views from the highest point accessible by road on the whole island.

Excellent history along road to Waimea Canyon, and stories made what we were looking at along the way more meaningful. Definitely worth the money!!!

After successfully opening and testin the app the night before the planned trip, the app wouldn't start when I tried opening it the next morning of my trip, claiming I didn't have sufficient Wi-Fi to open it. I had to abandon the trip, and I missed all the points that was supposed to take me to.

Joe, that sounds super frustrating! It's very unusual for the app to act like that. The good news is that tours are valid for a year! If you're still around Kauai, give it another shot, starting from the location provided in the app. No Wi-Fi is needed for the tour itself. If not, our support team (separate from Viator) is here to help with app setup – shoot them a message! You can also contact me directly ASAP if you'd prefer. Let's get you on that fantastic Na Pali Coast tour!
