About Polynesian Adventure Tours – Oahu to Kauai – Waimea Canyon & Koke’e Valley
A short island-hop flight carries you from Oahu to Kauai, where eucalyptus groves give way to towering cliffs and the vivid reds and greens of Waimea Canyon. Waterfalls ribbon distant walls while shifting sunlight reveals why Mark Twain hailed this chasm as the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific."
Cool forest air greets you in Koke'e State Park, where you can purchase lunch at the rustic lodge before tracing an easy trail beneath koa and 'ohi'a trees. After soaking in canyon views from Pu'u Hinahina Lookout, watch surf explode through lava rock at Spouting Horn, wander the historic Hanapepe Swinging Bridge, stroll windswept Kekaha Beach, and sample fresh brews at Kauai Coffee Plantation—all woven together by stories from your knowledgeable guide.
