Private Kauai Eastside Waterfalls & Local Grinds
Overview
The 5.5 hour Private Kauai Eastside Waterfalls and Local Grinds tour is a perfect mix of beautiful natural sites, history & local food tasting.

Enjoy the ride on our clean air condition vehicles while we share with you the stories of our islands, mixed with a dash of humor. You will visit waterfalls, a beautiful beach park, archeological sites, and taste locally made pastries and chocolate.
