Round out your day with an unforgettable evening at Kilohana Plantation's 60-acre orchard and agricultural park. Savour a delightful buffet dinner and watch a spectacular 45-minute main show chronicling an epic sea voyage between Tahiti and Kauai along one of the longest sea roads of Polynesia.

Day 3

Kauai: Full Day Tour with Fern Grotto River Cruise

Experience the beaches of East Shore, the striking geology of Fern Grotto, and the lush North Shore. This tour shows you the spectacular sights of Kauai. Follow your guide for a journey on land, and by water.

Your day starts as your tour guide picks you up on Kauai's North or East Shore. The comfortable, air-conditioned touring van offers large viewing windows on all sides for you to admire the beaches, mountains, and waterfalls.

Arrive at the Wailua River and step aboard a spacious open-air riverboat for a leisurely journey to the Fern Grotto landing.

A short walk through the rainforest brings you to one of Kauai's geological wonders, where ferns grow upside down in a natural amphitheater of lava rock - the perfect location to be serenaded and entertained by Hawaiian musicians and hula dancers.

Continue your journey to other spectacular sites on the North and East Shores of the beautiful Garden Isle
