Tour or drive yourself?

Three tours name Waimea Canyon directly: Waimea Canyon and Waterfall Adventure (about €169), Waimea Canyon and Kōkeʻe State Park (about €167) and Journey to Waimea Canyon, Spouting Horn and More (about €168). The Day Tour with Kalalau, Waimea and Poipu (about €214) adds a cruise or airport pickup.

The two movie tours, Movie Locations Tour (about €153, seven hours) and Highlights and Movie Sites (about €151), focus on film sets including Jurassic Park locations. The East Side and North Shore tour for waterfalls and beaches is about €356.

If you are comfortable driving, the canyon is a simple self-drive from Lihue. A tour makes more sense for the stops you would not find alone, or if you do not want to rent a car for one day.

Good to know: Driving to Waimea Canyon yourself takes about an hour to 75 minutes from Lihue (Hawaii Guide), so a tour mainly pays for the guide, the stops and not having to drive. The group tours cost about €151 to €214; the private custom Waimea tour costs about €966. On 30 October 2026 Kōkeʻe Road was closed until further notice, with access only to the Waimea Canyon Lookout, so check the DLNR park notices before you book.
