THE BEST KAUAI ACTIVITIES & TOURS TO DO

Best Things To Do When Visiting Kauai!

Kauai is known as the Garden Island for its lush greenery and diverse landscape, Kauai boasts many natural wonders and sights you will not find in the rest of the Hawaiian archipelago. It’s the oldest and smallest of Hawaii’s main islands, and in contrast, the size of the island makes it a convenient choice to venture for a short day trip, or even a few days, from another island. The dramatic geography of Kauai ensures you plenty to see.

Explore everything from the striking sea cliffs of the Na Pali Coast to the emerald valleys and waterfalls of Waimea Canyon. Snorkel the remote shores of Ni’ihau, Hawaii’s “Forbidden Island,” and zipline over jungle canopies. Learn about Hawaiian history and culture through mesmerizing dances at one of our luaus. And see parts of the island unreachable by foot on our helicopter tours.

Whether you are looking for a relaxing vacation, a family adventure, or a romantic getaway, Hawaii Tours has exclusive Kauai tours and activities for every occasion. Explore the Garden Isle and experience the beauty and diversity that make Kauai a top destination for thrill-seekers, as well as those looking to slow things down.
