Overview

The Kauai Waterfalls and Food Tasting is the perfect mix of stunning natural sites, history, local food tasting, and a dash of humor. We call it short & sweet!

We will take you on a in depth journey of Kauai's Eastside. Take the day off from driving, relax and marvel at the beauty of Kauai while our expert guides show you the magic of our island unfold every step of the way. We will visit 2 waterfalls, a local bakery, a chocolate tasting room, a beautiful beach park, and an archeological site.

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.

Cool Hawaii 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 Cool Hawaii 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.
