We'll come face to face with Hawaii's most famous waterfall - Manawaiopuna Falls - on Kauai. This elite helicopter tour will take us to a privately-owned valley, home to Manawaiopuna Falls (better known as "Jurassic Falls"). Our pilot will land the helicopter near the base of the waterfall, shut the aircraft down and personally escort us over a small footbridge and along a jungle pathway to the front of this nearly 400-foot (122-meter) waterfall. Once at the waterfall, we will have the opportunity to feel the mist on your face, take awesome pictures or just enjoy the power and beauty of this magnificent waterfall while our knowledgeable pilot talks about the flora, fauna and geological attributes of this area.

For Join us on 7 exhilarating ziplines beginning at our original Treehouse Zipline Course. Each line on this tour is different - single lines, tandem lines, Zippel over a waterfall, ride over rivers and across Kipu Ranch. And once you're all done warming up, it's time to fly high above Kauai on Hawaii's longest zipline.

We'll spend the morning sailing through paradise along the emerald and crimson patchwork Na Pali Coast. Towering sea cliffs, misty waterfalls and otherworldly lava tubes provide a backdrop for our seafaring adventure. We'll get ready to spend our morning on one of 2 sleek 55-foot (17-m) catamarans - Spirit of Kauai and Spirit of Akialoa. The breeze off the water will drive our vessel through the salty air as the captain takes us to his favorite snorkeling spots.

Visible only by air or by sea, the stunning cliffs of the Na Pali Coast are even more spectacular at sunset. We'll enjoy a delicious dinner as the sun sinks below the horizon. We'll sail along Kauai's dramatic Na Pali Coast, with views of sea cliffs, waterfalls and lava tubes.

We'll fall in love with Kauai in record time on this guided showcase of "The Grand Canyon of the Pacific" that also highlights Nawiliwili Harbor, Hanapepe Lookout, Spouting Horn and many more of the island's most beautiful natural formations.

We'll watch as the evening dims and then relights with poi ball twirlers and fire knife dancers. A lavish buffet will await us in an evening that captures the gambit - from the quiet intimacy to the stunning display of sight and sounds. Nestled in a 35-acre (14-ha) manicured pasture, Gaylord's Restaurant Kilohana sits at the end of a winding driveway. When we enter we will see the paintings of Ethel and Gaylord Parke Wilcox that line the walls. The luau celebrates the triumphs and struggles of the Hawaiian people - culminating in word, music and the hypnotic light trails of a fire dance.

We'll learn to shred killer waves during a small-group lesson of no more than 3 fellow wave riders. We'll prepare for a 90-minute session on Hawaii's most forgiving waves in Hanalei or Wailua. We’ll slide into our Quicksilver rash guard t-shirt, hop on our beginner surfboard and we will put our trust in this local surf legend who’s been hitting the waves around the world for more than 40 years.

We'll travel deep into Kauai's verdant interior as we follow the gentle Wailua River. We will explore the many intriguing sites along its winding path, such as the Fern Grotto, where the enchanting Hawaiian Wedding Song is often performed. The Grotto has the distinction of being one of the most romantic places on Kauai. After visiting the Fern Grotto, we’ll continue to the sacred Hikina Heiau ("Temple of Refuge") and Maiae Heiau, where the early Polynesians came to worship. We'll also visit the royal grounds of Coco Palms and the magnificent cascading waters of Opaekaa Falls.
