These tours from Oahu to Kauai represent some of the best Hawaii island hopping packages available to the Garden Isle. With great restaurants, luxury hotels and lots of modern convenience, Honolulu is a great place to set up a base for your vacation, but Kauai has points of interest that are completely unique and make a day trip from Kauai to Oahu more than worth the effort. These Kauai excursions allow you to experience a Waimea Canyon tour through an impossibly steep landscape of carved gorges rimmed with green and a Wailua River cruise, winding up Hawaii's only navigable river to a mysterious wall of living brush known as Fern Grotto. Your Kauai sightseeing journey will also bring you Hanapepe Valley, one of Jurassic Park's Hawaii film locations, as well as Opaekaa Falls and other top Kauai attractions.
Please Note: Prices are subject to change due to overage fees. If any overage fees should arise after the time of booking, you will be given the choice to either cancel or proceed with your booking.
Pro Tip: Bring a rain coat, poncho or umbrella. Kauai is well-known for its lush, tropical environments, which you're sure to enjoy on this tour, but the reason plant life grows so abundantly is because Kauai is also one of the wettest places on earth.
