Description

Explore Kauai’s stunning landscapes and rich cultural history while visiting iconic movie locations featured in Hollywood films. This small-group mini coach tour blends breathtaking scenery, Hawaiian traditions, and behind-the-scenes moments from some of the world’s most famous movies. As you travel, your local driver guide will share stories of the island and show film clips at each location, bringing Kauai’s cinematic history to life. Begin your adventure at Opaeka‘a Falls, a spectacular 151-foot waterfall, before stopping at Ahukini Landing, a dramatic coastal pier where waves crash against rugged cliffs. Both sites have served as scenic backdrops in multiple films. From the Hanalei Valley Lookout, take in panoramic views of emerald taro fields and misty North Shore mountains—one of Kauai’s most photographed spots. Enjoy a relaxing break with lunch on your own in Hanalei Town, home to charming local eateries and the famous Tahiti Nui, where The Descendants was filmed. Stroll through the town’s quaint shops and take in the stunning views of Hanalei Bay. Step into Hawaiian history at Poli‘ahu Heiau, an ancient temple once used for ceremonies, and visit the Birthing Stone, a sacred site where Hawaiian royalty was born. These culturally significant sites provide insight into Kauai’s deep spiritual roots and traditions. Conclude your journey with a visit to Lydgate Chocolate’s tasting room, where you’ll sample handcrafted chocolates made from Kauai-grown cacao. This sweet ending perfectly complements a day filled with natural beauty, history, and cinematic magic. From towering waterfalls to legendary movie sites, this tour offers an unforgettable look at Kauai’s landscapes, culture, and Hollywood connections.
