Feel yourself slip into the friendly, laidback personality of the Garden Island as you visit North and East, and South and West Kauai.

The North and East region covers everything north of Lihue and the airport. This includes the town areas of Kapa'a, Princeville and Hanalei. You can easily spend a whole day exploring this area, its beaches, and the famous Wailua Falls. Kilauea Lighthouse, the northernmost point of the island, will give you amazing views, and it's a refuge for birds and a variety of marine life.

The South and West region includes Waimea Canyon and the Kalalau Lookout. But there are also many great beaches and artsy communities. This part of the tour will also take you driving under a Tree Tunnel of 500 trees, that are over 100 years old, and to see Spouting Horn, the island's most famous blowhole.

Did you know that the Russians nearly came to rule Kauai?! The audio guide will share that story, and many more with a different commentary for the outward and the return journey, to keep you entertained during the whole tour.
