Top 10 Best Things to Do in Kauai
Na Pali Coast Snorkeling Tours
Bounding over the waves on a hard-bottom zodiac raft or cruise boat, these tours take energetic spirits to some of Kauai's top snorkeling destinations. Explore sea caves along the Na Pali Coast or take an extended journey to the waters off the shore of Niihau, the forbidden island.
Waimea Canyon Tours
On the west side of the island of Kauai stands beautiful Waimea Canyon, a vast 3,500-foot deep canyon famous for its spectacular panoramic views of steep cliffs, rugged valleys, and breathtaking peaks. Views from the summit can stretch for miles, earning this island gem the title "The Grand Canyon of the Pacific". A variety of sightseeing tours will lead you to this beautiful landmark and its favorite scenic spots for the most picturesque vistas.
Kauai Luau Tickets
Find the best luau in Kauai with HawaiiActivities.com's selection of top-rated luaus. Enjoy an evening of traditional Polynesian dances, live music, and a thrilling fire-knife show. All luaus on Kauai include an open bar and a Hawaiian dinner buffet with local cuisine.
Kauai Mountain Tubing Adventure
One of Kauai's most popular attractions, jump in an inflatable tube and float down the irrigation flumes of the former Lihue Sugar Plantation. Fun for all ages, just sit back and be led by the current through tunnels and canals hand-dug by old plantation workers.
Kauai Helicopter Tours
Explore Kauai by Air! Helicopter rides are one of the top things to do on Kauai. Only less than 20% of the island is accessible by land. If you want to see the untouched wilderness of Kauai you must try out one of these top-rated island helicopter tours. Soar over Kauai’s top attractions and hidden natural wonders including Na Pali Coast, Waimea Canyon, Wailua Falls, Hanapepe Valley, Hanalei Bay, Mt. Waialeale Volcano and the majestic 400 ft. Manawaiopuna Jurassic Falls.
Sunset Cocktail Cruises
At sunset, the shadows play a game as they dance over the folded surface of the cliff faces along the Na Pali Coast. On the opposite side of the island, fading daylight paints the shimmering resorts and pristine beaches of Poipu in gold. With the waves lapping gently and a cocktail in hand, sunset sailing and cruises from any departure point on Kauai offer friends, family and couples the chance to enjoy something magical together.

Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto
Only accessible by boat along the Wailua River, Kauai's Fern Grotto is a natural formation of lava rock that has accumulated a spectacular assemblage of fern, moss and other vibrant flora. This natural curiosity has attracted visitors for years, and river boat service offers an affordable method of transportation with the added benefit of local Hawaiian music. A great stop to add to any Kauai trip.
Kayak Tour & Outrigger Canoe
