Island Helicopters Waterfall Tour
margaretpparker Says: My husband I took the Waterfall Landing Tour with Island Helicopters in early January. We know Kauai very well, but, still, I was stunned with what I saw. Wow! As we wound our way into the upper reaches of Hanapepe Valley, headed towards our landing at a truly spectacular...
kellinwood Says: If discovering the history of Kauai and the Hawaiian Islands is your thing then there is probably no better place on the island to do it compared to the Kauai Museum in Lihue. Once inside you will be directed to watch a 30 minute video introduction on the islands and they...
kellinwood Says: This is an easy waterfall to visit since there is no hiking involved -- you just drive right up to it. The day we visited it was raining pretty hard and the falls were full of muddy water. This is a good rainy day activity when in the Lihue area of Kauai.
aznaphrodite Says: We took Blue Hawaiian Helicopters’ Kauai Eco Tour at 10 am. When you check in, you are weighed and the employees decide your seat in the helicopter by weight. We watched the safety video and then they called our names, forming us in groups of 6 for each helicopter. We were...
tripstakepeople Says: There are 3 good options for hiking the Napali Coast - 1. Do the entire 22 miles in and out of Kalalau Beach. This requires an overnight at least - look into permits and weather before you go, 2. day hike into Hanakapiai Falls (2 miles to Hanakapiai Beach, and another 2...
Etoile2B Says: The Garden Isle of Kauai is filled with verdant foliage and flowing waterfalls. One of the most famous of these falls is Wailua Falls. It gained celebrity when it was featured in the opening credits of the popular American television show, Fantasy Island. These falls are a...

Hamura Saimin: Best saimin and good lilikoi pie!
Hopkid Says: The saimin here is the best because everything is made to order and on the premises. You can get the chewy noodles in broth with a variety of toppings including fish cake (kamaboku), green onion, won tons, etc. It's also a fun lunch counter atmosphere reminiscent of the...
mrandmrsdevlin Says: The location of the restaurant was great, right on the beach. Small menu, but pretty good food. It has a very corporate feel to it though... Really good fish tacos.

Etoile2B Says: Lihue Airport is a small, semi-open air airport and the major point of entry for the island of Kauai. There are a small number of flights directly between Lihue and the mainland but a majority of visitors will have to change planes in Honolulu to get to Kauai. If you are...
derats Says: The best way to get around Kauai is by rental car, as many of Kauai's best sights can only be reached by independent transport.Kauai has a bus system, it goes from Hanalei to Kakeaha, they have stops all along the main highways, but they aren't well marked.Kauai Bus --...
Lihue Shopping Center: Where to Find Just About Everything
Etoile2B Says: Across the street from the Costco in Lihue is the largest shopping center on the island. Here you will find a Long’s Drug Store, a large grocery store, a Macy’s (department store), a bank as well as many other retailers and small restaurants. This is a great place to stock...
Etoile2B Says: If you are staying in a vacation rental and are planning to cook some of your own meals, or just need to pick up some snacks and toiletries it’s easy to do your bulk grocery shopping in Lihue, right after you land, before you venture on to your final destination city on the...
This warning applies no matter...
kahiwa Says: This warning applies no matter where you travel. Don't leave your valuables in the car, no matter how short a time you'll be gone, or even if you think no one will break in. There are thieves who target tourist cars since they're left unattended at scenic areas and they...
derats Says: Fern Grotto, nature's attraction is the Wailua River itself. Hawaii's only navigable stream. Along this route is the Fern Grotto, a tourist institution of glitz, hype and beauty rolled into one.As you head upriver in large motorized barges, the crew tells legends of the area...
kahiwa Says: Travel light. You're in a tropical area, so you won't be needing cold weather clothes. The climate in Hawaii is very tropical, and casual. On Kauai especially, there are few opportunities to 'dress up', so unless you're going to attend a wedding or formal event, don't even...
ABC Stores. These things are...
Avryle Says: ABC Stores. These things are located like every block in Honolulu and a little more spread out on Kauai. As everyone who's been there or lives/d there knows, they're the one-stop shop for all your tourist junk. However, something I discovered, is that their alcohol is a hell...
kahiwa Says: If you're into hiking, consider taking a half-to-full day walk to Hanakapiai Beach. You drive all the way to the end of the road on the north shore of the island, at Haena Beach Park. Park your car (at your own risk) on the side of the road, and you will see the trail head...
Explore the island. It has a...
kahiwa Says: Explore the island. It has a lot of scenic beauty, so you should take your time and literally stop to smell the roses (and all the other tropical flowers along the way). If you're looking for something that the locals do, ask around and find Hamura's Saimin. Saimin is a...

derats Says: Kauai is the Garden Isle, the scenery is breathtaking. From the mountians to the sea it is one beautiful view after another. An absolute must is just to look around you. Kauai is the first place that I ever set foot on American soil. Who could ask for a better place for...

Q: That pretty much is the question. Someone mentioned Public Transport here. What kind of public transport is there?
A: I've never seen any while on Kaua`i and several different Google's revealed nothing. I even searched gohawaii.com and found nothing. Doesn't look like there is much...

Lihue - Capital of the Garden Isle
We have joined my family twice in rented homes on the north shore of Kauai in Haena. The area is a really great place on the main road past Hanalei towards the end of the road where the Na Pali Coast...

Lihue's like the most happenin' town on Kauai- interpret that however you will. The island is reknowned for it's tropical beauty and not for it's nightlife.
