    Good tips here... For about 20 years I made a living selling fun to tourists here on Kauai. If you don't leave some time to do absolutely nothing then you will miss Kauai's best. Smell the air, savor the breeze, count the stars, listen to the ocean, feel the warm sand... relax, this isn't Disneyland.

    I just spent a week on Kauai. One of my favorite places in the world. I spent lots of time in Hanalei Bay & Tunnels.
    I definitely preferred the north side of the island. Hanalei Bay definitely has a small town vibe. I saw many of the same people multiple times during the week. I want to go back.

      There really isn't a bad time. The winter has bigger waves for surfing, Jan-early March is good for whale watching, Spring is great, I love the summer and the smaller waves, Fall has fewer visitors and smaller crowds. It's really a year around destination.

    • @kauaiwithanne3134
      @kauaiwithanne3134  Год назад +2

      You used to be able to rent them at the Hawaiian Village and do a self guided tour. That place has closed, so I'm not sure it's an option if you want to rent them right on the Wailua river. There are less convenient places to rent kayaks if you can transport them there.

    These are your 25 best? More than 3/4 of this was tourist trap stuff. If you're only going to these things you're truly missing out. Also, I had Chicken in a Barrel and it's far from great and affordable. Worst BBQ, I've ever had. Also, there wasn't one beach on this island that was suitable for swimming. The ones you mentioned on the north shore have extremely rough surf.
    With all due respect, there are FAR better places/activities in Kauai then this.
