About this tour

See Kauai beyond the big-bus route on a private Waimea Canyon tour, with a knowledgeable guide and scenic stops across the island. Take in photo-worthy views of Waipo'o Falls, then admire the dramatic coastline from Kalalau Lookout. The journey also visits the Poipu Beach resort area, where you can see Spouting Horn and may spot sea turtles or a Hawaiian monk seal.

Along the way, discover local landmarks including Kauai Coffee Company and the Captain Cook monument. Travel by private vehicle, with pickup and drop-off available at Nawiliwili Harbor, Lihue Airport, and hotels in Poipu, Lihue, Kapaa, and Wailua. Guests staying in Princeville or elsewhere on the North Shore should meet in Lihue. Bottled water and juice are provided, and the tour operates in all weather, so dress for the conditions.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.97 from 218 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Kauai
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 9.2. Top 4% in Kauai means it ranks in the top 4% of tours in Kauai by this score.
