Also known as the Grand Canyon of the Pacific, your visit can be as relaxing or as strenuous as you want. You can check out different overlooks, plan a picnic or go on a hike!
Take a Helicopter Tour
Must Do:
70% of Kauai is unreachable by land, so a helicopter helps see beautiful scenery like Napali Coast, Waimea Canyon and Manawaiopuna Falls – which is seen in the film Jurassic Park.
The peak season to spot a humpback whale in Kauai’s warm waters is December to April. One of the best spots for viewing these gentle giants is the Kilauea Lighthouse on the North Shore.
Visit the Kilauea Lighthouse
The lighthouse is 52 feet tall and is surrounded by the Pacific Ocean and rugged cliffs.
