Top 5 things to do

Waimea Canyon in Kauai / Līhuʻe
01

Waimea Canyon

Drive into Waimea Canyon and stop at high-elevation lookouts before adding a hike if you want more time outside the car. The layered canyon scenery shows a very different side of Kauai's interior.

Na Pali Coast in Kauai / Līhuʻe
02

Na Pali Coast

Make time for the Na Pali Coast by trail, boat, or a permitted viewpoint. The steep green cliffs and remote shoreline are one of the clearest reasons to build outdoor time into a Kauai week.

Hanalei and the North Shore in Kauai / Līhuʻe
03

Hanalei and the North Shore

Explore Hanalei and the North Shore for beaches, taro fields, and time in the small bay town. The area combines scenery and a relaxed place to stop without turning the whole day into a single activity.

Wailua River in Kauai / Līhuʻe
04

Wailua River

Get onto the Wailua River by paddle or cruise and move through tropical scenery from the water. It is a different way to experience Kauai's landscape than another beach or driving day.

Poipu coast in Kauai / Līhuʻe
05

Poipu coast

Spend time along the Poipu coast for beaches, shoreline walks, and sunset viewpoints on Kauai's south side. It is an easy area to keep flexible around swimming, walking, and a slower afternoon.
