Kauai Eastside Waterfalls & Local Grinds-Small Group Tour
Overview
The Kauai Waterfalls and Local Grinds is the perfect mix of stunning natural sites, history, local food tasting, and a dash of humor. We call it short & sweet! This not a food tour but rather a wonderful melange of visiting scenic sites on the east side of Kauai and tasting various foods along the way.
Take the day off from driving while our expert guides show you the magic of our island unfold every step of the way. We will visit waterfalls, archeological zones, indulge in the local cuisine, and more.
This is a mother and daughter owned business with over 17 years of guiding experience on island. Your purchases on this tour support locally owned mom and pop shops.
Our Groups are small and intimate, and our vehicles are comfortable and air conditioned.
We look forward to creating memorable experiences with you.
