Whether you need a ride around town or want to go on a fun tour of Kauai, you can count on Polynesian Adventure Tours to come through for you. They travel around the island all day on set routes to ensure everyone can get where they are going without fanfare. Their comfy black and white charter bus stands out from the crowd, letting you know just when your ride has arrived.
In order to hop on board the Polynesian Adventure Tour adventure, however, you do need to have a reservation, which is easy to make online. During signup, you can get a single ticket or the island hopper pass, which offers a full day of unlimited rides that let you easily explore the island at your leisure.
Once you sign up for the Polynesian Adventure Tour, the shuttle services make it easy to travel between the airport and Kapaa, Poipu, Koloa, and Princeville hotels plus all the major attractions in between. Along each predetermined route, there are stops at several destinations at the times listed on their schedule. Their most popular stops include Poipu Shopping Village, Old Koloa Town, Kilohana, Coconut Marketplace, Kapaa, and Kukui Grove.
You can take one shuttle from the airport to your hotel, and then grab a different shuttle to your attractions of choice after getting settled in. Then, perhaps jump on a different shuttle to another attraction for a few more hours of fun. After you’re done having a great time, you can get another shuttle ride back to your hotel to finish off your day. You’ll just need to be at their pickup locations at the assigned time to catch your ride back.
Beyond that, you can go to the Luau Kalamaku or take a fun tour of all the movie filming locations on the island. To kickstart your tour, they’ll pick you up at your hotel at the given time, and then take you on the adventure of a lifetime. All along the way, you get to see scenic landscapes and waterways plus learn all about the history and culture of Kauai. At the end of your Polynesian Adventure Tour, you’ll end up back at your hotel once again, filled with delicious food and a lifetime of awesome memories.
