Roberts Hawaii Shore Excursions - Journey to Waimea Canyon
This tour is only available for cruise ship passengers. The dates provided line up with Pride of America's schedule
In stark contrast to Kauai’s lushness is Waimea Canyon State Park.
Over thousands of years earthquakes and erosion have created dramatic
variation in the landscape. Waimea Canyon, the "Grand Canyon of the
Pacific," is the showpiece of this tour and offers one of the best views
of the western coast of the island.
Along with the ever-present natural beauty of Waimea Canyon State
Park, historical and cultural spots provide a touch of romance to the
tour. There are the remains of the early 19th-century Russian Fort, Fort
Elizabeth and Old Koloa Town, a historic plantation town now known for
its shopping and dining.
Tour Highlights:
- Koloa town – from some of the oldest buildings in Hawaii to the rich history of Hawaii’s first successful sugar plantation, discover how this main port of entry was a favorite among the whaling fleet
- Spouting Horn*– one of the most photographed spots on Kauai, with ocean water spraying like a geyser up to 50 feet in the air
- Queen Victoria’s profile – Haupu Mountain range offers a profile of the British Queen Victoria
- Hanepepe Valley Lookout* – a picturesque view of the lush tropical valley, a former Hawaiian taro farming community with some of the taro patches still being farmed today
- Waimea Canyon* – known as “the Grand Canyon of the Pacific,” this natural wonder was carved out by the Waimea River and the collapse of a volcano
