About Waimea Canyon

The 'Grand Canyon of the Pacific' stretches 14 miles long and up to 3,600 feet deep. Erosion has carved dramatic red, orange, and green layered cliffs through volcanic rock. Multiple overlooks provide sweeping views, while hiking trails descend into the canyon. One of Kauai's most iconic natural attractions.
