Narrative

Start your adventure stress-free as you're picked up from your Waikīkī accommodation for an inter-island journey to the stunning "Garden Isle" of Kaua'i. After a short, scenic flight from Honolulu, you’ll be greeted by your local guide, who will lead you on a day filled with breathtaking scenery and iconic movie locations.

Your cinematic journey begins as you travel to the towering cliffs of Jurassic Park, where the majesty of Kaua'i’s coast comes to life. Feel the awe of standing where dinosaurs once roamed in the world of film. Next, you'll visit the picturesque Hanalei Bay, the backdrop for South Pacific’s Bali Hai—its sweeping views of emerald mountains and deep blue waters feel like stepping into a postcard.

The adventure continues to the stunning Wailua Falls, made famous by the classic Fantasy Island. The waterfall's twin cascades drop dramatically into a lush valley, providing the perfect photo opportunity. From there, experience the thrill of Huleia River, featured in Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, where action-packed scenes were brought to life in the jungle landscape.

Midway through your day, enjoy a delicious lunch at a local eatery, sampling the flavors of Kaua'i. Refueled and refreshed, the tour takes you to the historic Coco Palms Resort, where Elvis Presley filmed Blue Hawai'i, its iconic coconut grove still standing as a testament to the golden age of film.

Your final stop brings you to the serene beaches where Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides filmed its tropical scenes, offering a perfect end to your cinematic tour. These sands and Kauai’s unspoiled beauty make for an unforgettable experience.

As your day ends, you’ll be guided back to Lihue Airport for a smooth return flight to O'ahu. Once back in Honolulu, enjoy convenient transportation back to your Waikīkī accommodations, where you can reflect on your day spent exploring the movie magic and natural wonders of Kaua'i. Every detail is expertly handled, allowing you to relax and immerse yourself in the beauty of Hawai'i’s most film-friendly island.
