   Visit this once an impressive fort, with 20 feet high and 17 feet wide walls that shaped like a star
   
   Pāʻulaʻula State Historic Site, formerly known as Russian Fort Elizabeth, preserves a fascinating chapter of Kauaʻi’s history. The site is currently closed for construction, but you’ll hear its story and significance as you pass the area on the tour.

3. Tappa 3 · 15 min

   Here in Waimea Town, there are some local places to shop and eat.
   
   Stop by if you need a quick snack for the road, but other than that we suggest you skip this spot for now and save it for your return trip. We’ll guide you back, we promise!

4. Tappa 4 · 5 min

   If you’ve been to Hawaii, you’ve probably seen a few waterfalls, but this waterfall is particularly unique.
   
   It runs through Kauai’s red dirt instead of lush green jungle which is what you normally see. Stop by for a quick picture and then continue into the park.

5. Tappa 5 · 15 min

   While you're on the trail, check out the interpretive signs that describe the native plants.
   
   The trail is actually named after a rare, exotic plant -- the iliau or Kaua'i greensword -- that is found nowhere else in the world but here on Kaua'i.
   
   This stop is within Waimea Canyon or Kōkeʻe State Park. Any required park entry and parking fees are paid separately directly to the park and are not included with the Shaka Guide tour.

6. Tappa 6 · 15 min

   This stop is within Waimea Canyon or Kōkeʻe State Park. Any required park entry and parking fees are paid separately directly to the park and are not included with the Shaka Guide tour.
   
   This is the first of two lookouts of Waimea Canyon. This lookout has some of the best views on a clear day.
   
   Stand atop the lookout to take in the expansive views of this natural wonder.

7. Tappa 7 · 5 min

   We’ll guide you to pull into a small parking lot for a view of an 800-foot waterfall that cascades into the canyon.

8. Tappa 8

   This is the second of the two lookouts for Waimea Canyon. Here at the end of the parking lot is the trailhead for Canyon Trail.
   
   The trail signs are a little confusing, so read the description under Hiking in our app Highlights before hiking.
   
   Puʻu Hinahina offers expansive views of Waimea Canyon and the surrounding landscape. The Puʻu Hinahina parking lot is currently closed, so do not stop unless official signage indicates safe, legal access. If access is unavailable, continue along the tour route to the next viewpoint.

9. Tappa 9 · 1 h

   Here is our first major hike for the day! The trail starts at the parking lot, and you’ll travel about ¾ of a mile through lush jungle to a spot called Cliff Viewpoint.
   
   This stop is within Waimea Canyon or Kōkeʻe State Park. Any required park entry and parking fees are paid separately directly to the park and are not included with the Shaka Guide tour.

10. Tappa 10 · 20 min

    The lodge and museum at Koke'e are located at a small plateau in the mountain. The lodge is a sit-down restaurant with decent food if you are hungry.
    
    If you are lucky, sometimes they have live music! At the museum, there is a display of native plants, animals, and birds.

11. Tappa 11 · 15 min

    Here you will find your first view of the glorious Na Pali Coast.
    
    However, don’t be upset if dense fog prevents you from seeing any views. It’s typical at this altitude.
    
    Try waiting it out a few minutes as the fog tends to come and go in waves.

13. Tappa 13 · 10 min

    Their shave ice comes in a wide range of tropical and traditional flavors. We recommend getting one of their combos with vanilla or macadamia nut ice cream. Their small size is plenty big enough to share.

14. Tappa 14 · 20 min

    At the base of the mountain, just past the old swinging bridge is a hidden gem that reveals a fascinating part of Kauai's past: the Menehune Ditch.
    
    You might be thinking to yourself, what’s so cool about a ditch?
    
    Well, we’ll tell you the story of the Menehune who constructed this ditch thousands of years ago.

15. Tappa 15 · 20 min

    In 1778, Captain Cook became the first Westerner to discover Hawaii.

16. Tappa 16 · 30 min

    Here in Hanapepe, there are a few quaint art boutiques, restaurants, murals, and an interesting little bookstore called Talk Story.
    
    In fact, it’s the westernmost bookstore in the United States! Feel free to stop anytime as we do a quick drive through the town.

17. Tappa 17 · 5 min

    If you’re interested in checking out a cool swinging bridge, there's one in Hanapepe. Look for the sign when you're walking around town.

18. Tappa 18

    Hanapepe is only a few minutes from Lawai, where you started the tour. We’ll guide you back in that direction with a fun story about Kauai's "state bird" along the way.
