Transport and a local snack are included; priced per group, with lunch and any entrance or parking fees extra. 4.84 from 45 reviews at €893 per group/vehicle for 6h–7h. In our comparison: #7 of 11 in Island Sightseeing & Movie Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below). ## Overview This tour is private and fully customizable - hike as much or as little as you want in the time we have. If you would prefer more of a driving tour to spectacular lookouts instead, we can do that. Accessible only by foot, our 6 - 7 hour Waimea Canyon & Nāpali Cliff Top Hike is designed to give you amazing views thousands of feet above the ocean! While these hikes can be muddy, you will be amply rewarded for your effort with sweeping views of Waimea Canyon and the most dramatic middle sections of the famous 17-mile-long Nāpali Coast – from unique vantage points that can only be accessed from the cliff top ridges of Kōkeʻe State Park. Our mission -"sharing Kauaʻi’s beauty with aloha”- was forged in love and respect for this island’s abundant mana (life energy). Our local guides take you to some of their favorite spots, the places they enjoy exploring in their free time. We hope to inspire understanding, respect, and reverence for these sacred, often fragile, environments. ## Before you book - Meeting point: We will meet in the large parking lot… - 8 start times: between 06:00 and 13:00 - Food included: see what is included - Wheelchair accessible: operator-marked - Strollers OK: infants accepted **Pickup:** No hotel pickup: everyone meets at the start point ## Key facts - Price: from €893 per group/vehicle - Duration: 6h–7h - Rating: 4.84/5 from 45 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: Kauai Hiking Adventures - Group: Private tour, your party only - Guide languages: English - Start times: 06:00, 07:00, 08:00, 09:00, 10:00, 11:00, 12:00, 13:00 - Booking: mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-11-07 ## Reviews 4.84 from 45 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 96% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 43 of 45. - 5 stars: 43 (96%) - 4 stars: 0 (0%) - 3 stars: 0 (0%) - 2 stars: 1 (2%) - 1 star: 1 (2%) ## What's included - Private transportation - Specialty Equipment Some extra safety equipment such a trekking poles, gloves, extra packs, ponchos, and shoe traction devices may be available. - Fresh local surprise Fresh local snack or fruit surprise.
