Discover Kauai & Luau

OVERVIEW

Discover Kauai’s natural beauty, sacred history and cultural traditions on a full-day journey that concludes at Luau Kalamaku. Travel along the coast to Hikinaakala Heiau, an ancient place of worship for Native Hawaiians. Continue to Opaekaa Falls, one of Kauai’s notable waterfalls, before passing through Lihue and the town of Koloa, recognized as the birthplace of Hawaii’s sugar industry. A featured stop is Waimea Canyon, where exposed volcanic rock creates dramatic layers of red and brown across the landscape. Take time to appreciate the sweeping views and capture photographs from the lookout. Later, arrive at historic Kilohana Plantation for a traditional luau celebration. As torches blaze, hula, energetic fire dancing, story and song recount the ancient Polynesian voyages that brought the original Hawaiians to these islands.
