Hiking the Kalalau Trail

    This is probably the most famous hike in Kauai. The trail goes for 11 miles and leads you to Na Pali Coast; the views along the way are simply beautiful. One needs a permit to go past the first 2 miles (it is assumed that you'll be camping if you go farther). At the end of the trail lies Kalalau Beach and above it the beautiful valley that you can see from the top of Waimea Canyon Drive at the Kalalau Lookout.

    Outriggers in Hanalei Bay

    We stayed right on Hanalei Bay, so every late afternoon, we would watch the local outrigger club doing their training. An outrigger is 45 feet long, weighs 400 pounds and is manned (or womanned) by a crew of six. The trick is not to paddle with 6 paddles, but to move in complete synchronization so the six paddles act as one paddle.

    These crews had it down pat. They were so smooth and beautiful to watch as the sun set over the Pacific.

    We went trolling for Marlin, Tuna, and Ono. We were lucky enough to each catch an Ono! Amy got a big one, about 45 pounds, Susan's was big too at about 30 pounds. WHAT A THRILL!!!

    Hana pa'a Charters - "4 person shared"... only we were lucky enough to be the only 2 people on the boat... so it was like a personal charter! Our boat was the ONLY boat in the harbor to catch anything that day!

  • There are guavas everywhere. Ring a doorbell if there's one and ask the owner if you can have some. Locals are generally very generous.

    Sail the Na Pali Coast

    Captain Andy's Sailing
    Adventure
    by rcargo
    After seeing the Na Pali coast by trail a few days earlier, and by helicopter the day before, we still had to see this one of a kind landmark from another angle, the ocean! Sailing aboard a modern 55 foot catamaran (those prone to seasickness, beware!), the trip takes about 5 hours in all. During this time with "Captain Andy's Sailing Adventures" you'll sail about half way up the Na Pali coast while enjoying wine and snacks. The view from here is even more stunning as the cliffs are so steep and high you literally can't see where they end. If the weather is fairly calm, on the way back you'll anchor and spend some time snorkeling. While fun, if you are used to snorkeling in crystal clear, reef strewn waters (such as the Caribbean), this won't be the highlight of your sail. However, the experience of Na Pali alone is worth the trip.

    Note 1: The cost of this trip is advertised at US$129. However, many of the hotels and other attractions on the island seems to have special offers, so shop around and you might find this trip for as low as US$75.

    Note 2: This sail could possible be listed under a "tourist-trap" activity, and perhaps it is, but for good reason. Tourist trap or not, the scenery and experience is worth it no matter how you're traveling.

    Bathing suit for snorkeling (all snorkel gear is provided), and some warm clothes as the sea breezes can get a little chilly.

    Fishing from the pier near the airport. We caught several Bone Fish here. Talk to the locals, they will teach you how to set up your rig.

    Bring your rods, they have plenty of cheap fishing tackle in all the grocery stores.

    Trolling for anything that bit the hook! We got a Mahi and three small Tuna.

    It was my first Tuna that I caught!

    Boat is loaded with the equipment and the mate was very friendly and helpful.

    Unfortunetly, we don't golf, but we heard many good things about the golf course at Hyatt Regency. The hotel guide boasts that the world's greatest golfers have played here - like Tiger Woods. It was designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr.

    The golf course has spectaular views, as does the entire property. If you are a golfer this hotel will be a dream come true!
