Opaeka'a Falls Scenic Drive & Poipu Beach

OVERVIEW

Discover Kauai’s iconic east and south shores on a three-hour adventure that captures a trio of the Garden Isle’s most stunning natural landmarks. Travel by bus to majestic Opaeka’a Falls, where a 151-foot cascade of water plunges into the lush Wailua River Valley. This iconic spot is a photographer’s dream, with no hiking required. Next, drive through the enchanting Tree Tunnel, where rows of Norfolk pines form a canopy overhead before unwinding at the shores of Poipu Beach, once hailed as the “Best Beach in America” by the Travel Channel and famous for sea turtle sightings. Swim or snorkel (bring your own equipment) in crystal-clear waters or bask on the golden sands. Return to port after creating lasting memories of the island’s iconic beauty.
