Overview

Embark on a breathtaking journey through Kauai’s dramatic landscapes on this self-guided driving audio tour. Wind through the awe-inspiring “Grand Canyon of the Pacific”, delve into lush valleys, and ascend to ocean vistas of the Nā Pali Coast—all while listening to immersive storytelling about the island’s geology, culture, and legends.

Enjoy total freedom: start anytime, pause to hike canyon trails or Waipoʻo Waterfall, sip local Kauai coffee, cross the charming Hanapēpē swinging bridge, and explore artisan shops—all at your own pace.

With offline GPS navigation and lifetime access, you’ll experience both must-see highlights and hidden gems without the constraints of group tours.

Sorting, ranking, and search results

Activity name

City Boat Tours wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
