Kauai Tour includes the Waimea Canyon and Wailua River. Kauai remains a
memorable secluded Hawaiian place that has been called "an island for
the senses." We'll see the incredible Waimea Canyon, take a cruise on
the Wailua River to the romantic Fern Grotto (admission included) in
addition to enjoying the many other stunning scenic attractions of this
beautiful island.
This fern-fringed cave is only accessible by a leisurely ride up the
Wailua River on a boat. The dewy emerald grotto, complete with the soft
strains of Hawaiian music. This is a great location for a wedding.
Birth Stone
The Birth Stone when struck sharply, a note would resonate over the
entire Wailua Valley. Royal Hawaiian births were announced this way in
the old days.
Opaeka'a Falls is about 1.3 miles from the start of Route 580. Some say
there are shrimp in the pool beneath the falls, emerging from their
hiding places at night. You can hear them crackling as their claws open
and close. The best view is from the path along the highway. Don't
forget to take a picture.
The Hanapepe Lookout provides a fantastic view of rolling green hills,
quaint farms, and lush vegetation create a dazzling views. This
untamed, exotic area was the perfect setting for Steven Spielberg's
blockbuster thriller Jurassic Park.
Kalalau Lookout (weather permitting)
Keahua Arboretum is home to mango, monkey pod, eucalyptus trees. The
streams are filled with fish. Its a great place for a picnic. Bring
your swim gear and take a dip.
Waimea Canyon
Ten miles long and about 3,600 feet deep, Waimea Canyon was described by Mark Twain as the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific." One memorable image of the canyon that will remain with you, beyond the incredible scale of it all, is the rainbow of colors that dance along the canyon peaks. From the last two lookouts there are spectacular views into Kalalau Valley, one of the most beautiful sights on the island.
Russian Fort
In 1815 the Russian doctor, Georg Scheffer, arrived in Hawaii to gain trading privileges from King Kamehameha, who had created a kingdom incorporating all the islands of Hawaii. The Russian went to Kauai, nominally under the control of King Kaumualii, to salvage Russian cargo being held in Waimea. Once on Kauai, Scheffer gained the confidence of King Kaumualii when he promised the king that Czar Nicholas would help him to break free of Kamehameha' rule. Kaumualii allowed Scheffer to build a fort near Waimea and two others near Hanalei. However, Scheffer did not have the backing of the Russian Czar and was forced to leave Kauai.
Russian Fort Elizabeth eventually went under the control of Kamehameha supporters and years later was used to put down a rebellion by Kaumualii's son, George Prince Kaumualii. It is the only remaining Russian fort in Hawaii.

Water, forced into a lava tube by the surf, gushes into the air making
an eerie hissing noise. The ancient Hawaiians believed that Kaikapu, a
lizard goddess, was trapped by a clever fisherman in the lava tube and
the hissing is the sound of her angry roar.
