kellinwood Says: A.K.A. The Grand Canyon of the Pacific. This is a "must do" activity when visiting Kauai. Drive to the town of Waimea and turn up Waimea Canyon Drive (one block past Island Taco on the right). Stop at all of the turnouts and lookouts on the way up. The canyon and waterfall...
kellinwood Says: The lookout offers a spectacular view of the Napali Coast as seen from the top of a canyon looking down towards the ocean. It can take a while to get there since it is at the end of the road as you drive counter-clockwise around the island, but its worth the trip. The view...
Etoile2B Says: A visit to the sleepy little village of Waimea is a nice pit stop on the way up to or down from the majestic canyon. Stretch your legs and take a walk through town. Near the water is a small park and a pier. I don’t recommend the beach for sunbathing or swimming as the sand...
malianrob Says: We came here to to see what was here. Basically, its not much to see just a bunch of ruins. Rocks really and a bunch of chickens.We had the jeep so that was cool because there was alot of area around here, not at the fort but nearby, where we went 4X driving.There is alot of...
malianrob Says: I came up here twice and I wasnt able to see anything because of the fog. But usually you would be able to see waterfalls and the valley below. This place is called the Grand Canyon of the Pacific and from what I hear its impressive.
April1985 Says: Mark Twain called this the "grand canyon of the pacific" . I have to say, this canyon is very grand . It is one of those natural wonders that blows your mind ! It was so peaceful and serene. It is located on the western shore of Kaua'. This canyon is about 10 miles long, and...
lesaandbill Says: Hawaii is incredible if you like to trek...but this was a great place to go. At the end of the day...we got a nice, cold ice cone from the local shop in town on our way back to waimea cottages...a perfect day.
Waimea Plantation Cottages: Not a typical hotel
lesaandbill Says: This resort is completely different than most touristy hotels. It's not a typical resort with fancy restaurants and man-made statues..it's real. It's right on the beach..and you feel like you're right at home. The cottages used to be a plantation...so they're nothing...
kellinwood Says: Its a nice enough place with friendly service, but you get one big taco with too much cabbage and onion in the filling. I'll be looking for an alternative if I ever come back to Waimea.
Kauai Granola: Granola and Snacks
Etoile2B Says: On the main drag though town, across the street from the Shrimp Station, is a charming little store that sells yummy granola and cookies made on site. The prices are reasonable and the woman who runs the place is sweet. The granola and cookies make for yummy snacks to take...
Jo Jo's: Jo Jo's Hawaiian Shaved Ice
Etoile2B Says: Jo Jo’s is written up in every guidebook as the best Shaved Ice on the island. One thing you should know about me, I love my Hawaiian Shaved Ice. I don’t have much of a sweet tooth but I go gaga for Shaved Ice. That being said, I’m no connoisseur. I couldn’t tell what set Jo...
Shrimp Station: Yummy Canyon Pit Stop
Etoile2B Says: The Shrimp Station is a little takeout joint near the start of the highway that takes you up Waimea Canyon. This cheap, yummy little restaurant serves delicious local fare and specializes in, you guessed it, shrimp. Order at the window and take a seat on the patio and enjoy....
April1985 Says: My family and I took a bus tour around this island , because we wanted to see the sites . This bus had listed on the brochure that we would see a russian fort. We all thought, OKay , this should be interesting . We passed it going about 50 miles per hour , and the bus guide...

The main reason we went to Waimea was to see Hawaii's "Grand Canyon", Our bad luck though, all we saw from the lookout was fog. I drove up there two times but the weather wasnt on our side. I was so...
