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!

This self-drive tour was an excellent way to see the island. I saw some of the most breathtaking sites I've ever experienced on this drive. Took about 4 hours. Make sure to leave early because you don't want to go down the mountain at night.

We couldn’t get the App to work properly. There wasn’t enough time to reach out for support since we already left in our venture.

Hi Darlene, I’m sorry to hear that! We also have an extensive FAQ in case of calling, emailing, or chatting with us isn’t possible.

Great way to explore the island on your own if you have a car! The pins are a little off but still able to find most of the destinations. Would highly recommend as a full day trip!! Especially if you do some of the hiking!

Response from Host

Thanks for this review! A full-day trip is definitely a good idea since there’s just so much to do on this beautiful island. And thank you for your feedback about the pins, we’ll have our team look into this and update the positioning!
