Our morning will start early with a hike on the Kalalau Trail with gorgeous views of the Pacific Ocean and Waimea Canyon. Hiking the entire trail would take 3-5 days, but there’s a 4-mile (roundtrip) hike along the Na Pali Coast Trail that our group will do. This spectacular hike will take us through a lush jungle setting to a dry dirt trail with extraordinary views and possibly to the beach (depending on weather) or to a stunning waterfall. While this hike is only 4 miles, it does have elevation ups and downs (1,131 feet), so be sure to get in shape to hike steep inclines and declines. This hike is rated as Moderate.

After returning from the hike, we will make a stop at Hanalei Bay for some swimming and relaxing. Snorkeling gear will be provided, but if you have your own favorite gear that you’d like to bring, please do so.

Accommodation: Villa near Poipu Beach
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Today we will hit the freshwater of the sacred Wailua River and take a relaxing 45-minute kayak ride surrounded by a lush jungle. We will leave our kayaks and do a guided nature hike (approximately 1 mile) to a gorgeous waterfall where you can swim, hike more, or just relax.

After kayaking back out, we will make a stop at the Koloa Rum Company for a tour and tasting, then go back to our condo to relax then off to the gorgeous Poipu Beach for some swimming and snorkeling. If we are feeling up to it and the weather cooperates, we will do a flat 4-mile roundtrip hike along the stunning Mahaulepu Heritage Trail at sunset. This trail is rated as Easy.

Gently flowing waters will carry you down the former irrigation system of the Lihue Plantation that traverses this magnificent, remote landscape. We'll have beautiful views of the towering mountains surrounding us as we float through the flumes and tunnels along the waterway. 

After our tube experience, we will grab some shave ice and head back to our villa for a relaxing afternoon to enjoy some time at the beach.

Today we will be viewing the Na Pali Coast from the water in an adrenaline pumping ride aboard a Zodiac boat. We will be exploring caves, waterfalls and secluded beaches along the Na Pali Coast. We might even see dolphins or whales! Our tour will include a stop to do some snorkeling to explore the beautiful sea life below.

Following the Zodiac boat ride, we will make a stop at the Kauai Coffee plantation for some coffee tasting and shopping. Then we will return to the condo to relax and get ready for an authentic Hawaiian Luau! No Hawaiian vacation would be complete without a luau. You will be served delicious Hawaiian cuisine and be entertained by native dancers.

Accommodation: Villa near Poipu Beach
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner (Luau)

This morning those who want to see the last sunrise before we depart will rise early and say aloha (did you know that “aloha” means both “hello” and “goodbye”?) to the resting sea turtles on Poipu Beach. We will pack up our things and leave our gorgeous villa. 

Most flights leave Lihue in the evening, so we should have some time to ride bikes along the Kapaa bike path on the east side of the island (near the airport). The length of the bike will depend on flight times and how energetic people are feeling after the week.

You should plan to book your departure flight no earlier than 3:00pm, but we will accommodate all departure times.
