Kauai's Waimea Canyon and South Side Private Tour

I have been doing this tour for nearly ten years now and I have had some really epic days with guests seeing rainbows, whales, the Hawaiian pueo owl, turtles, seals, big surf- the list goes on. I think the reason that people like the tour is that I'm a friendly people person and enjoy sharing my deep respect for the island with others. I have called Kauai home for nearly twenty years. This tour takes you to all the crucial must-see gems of Kauai's south and west shores including the canyon where we take some walks to see stunning views of the canyon and see native plants that were used by the Hawaiians for many things. Listen to three historical tales. Keep your eyes open for wild goats, chickens and pigs. Taste various types and flavors of coffee and eat at one of the best restaurants, local spots, or food truck. Be assured you will be taken to stellar spots for taking photos of both scenery and yourselves. I may even sing and play the ukulele for you : )

- We start by heading directly to the Waimea Canyon on the west side. On the way there, we will stop to stretch our legs and take a look at the Hanapepe Valley overlook. - Passing the old Russian Fort and the statue of Captain Cook in Waimea Town, we will begin our ascent into the canyon. - We will stop at about 1800 feet for our first view, stop at a miniature waterfall for pictures, take a short walk on a nature trail with native Hawaiian plants where you can stand at the very edge of the canyon, and then on to the main canyon viewing area. - From there we will head to the top stopping to see the Waipo'o Falls on the way. At the very top we will view two different vantage points of the Kalalau Valley from 4700 feet down to the ocean. - On the way back down I will tell a historical tale about Kalalau and we will stop in Waimea Town for lunch. - Then to the south side for Spouting Horn, Poipu Beach (monk seals)
