About this tour

Trade Oahu’s city scenery for a day of riverside views, waterfalls, and historic towns on Kauai. This Oahu Kauai sightseeing tour pairs roundtrip flights with guided transportation, so you can explore another Hawaiian island without arranging the travel yourself.

After arriving in Lihue, meet your local driver-guide and head to Opaekaa Falls for waterfall views. Then board Smith’s boat for a cruise along the Wailua River to Fern Grotto. Continue to Old Koloa Town, where you can browse local shops and choose your own lunch spot. The route also includes Kauai Coffee, Hanapepe Town, and Historic Waimea Town, with your guide sharing stories about Kauai’s history and communities. Bottled water and local treats are provided, and the day ends with a return to Lihue Airport for your flight back to Oahu.

The Oahu Kauai sightseeing tour runs Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Lunch is not included, and flight schedules, stop order, and timings may vary. From October 5, 2026, Waimea Canyon and Spouting Horn are temporarily excluded because of storm-related road closures. Book your island day trip and discover Kauai by air, road, and river.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 3.68 from 8 reviews. We place that rating among all GetYourGuide 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 Oahu
  • 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 6.6.
