Activities
A Kauai vacation can offer it all! An outdoor adventure sailing the Napali Coast or ziplining above Kauai’s lush valleys. A romantic escape to amazing beaches and luxurious resorts. A cultural journey discovering authentic hula, exploring Hawaiian fishponds and learning about Kauai’s most historic places, or maybe just a quiet horseback ride in the pastures of Princeville.
Transportation
Kauai’s main airport is Lihue Airport (LIH) in southeastern Lihue. Many airlines now offer non-stop service to Kauai. There is also the option of flying into Honolulu International Airport (HNL) on Oahu first and then heading to Kauai. Ground transportation on Kauai includes rental cars, hotel shuttles and taxis. Several companies provide guided tours aboard motor coaches, mini-buses, vans, 4-wheel drive vehicles and limousines. Shuttles and tours are also available, though stops will be limited. Kauai also has limited bus service, but if you’re planning to really explore the island, it’s best to rent a car to keep your schedule flexible. Kauai's a circular island and one major highway nearly circles it, beginning in Lihue and going north, Kuhio Highway (Hwy. 56) goes to Kee Beach past Hanalei. Going to the West Side, Kaumualii Highway (Hwy. 50) travels to Kekaha. Every major rental car company is represented here.
Food & Drink
Dining on Kauai ranges from fine cuisine in world-class resorts to local favorites in the island’s small towns. You can sample Hawaii Regional Cuisine at various restaurants including Merriman’s Poipu or Roy’s Poipu Bar & Grill on the South Shore. Peter Merriman and Roy Yamaguchi are two of twelve original chefs behind the Hawaii Regional Cuisine movement and both have been recognized by the James Beard Foundation.
