• Kauai - With audio guides providing commentary based on GPS location, travelers can customize their own itinerary along the tour routes to suit their interests and schedule.

Alternatively, use the trip planners for recommended half, full, or multi-day itineraries.

Here are some highlights:

• Ha’ena State Park - This park marks the end of the road on Kauai’s north shore. Popular activities include visiting Ke’e Beach, Tunnels Beach (also known as Ha’ena Beach Park), and hiking the Kalalau Trail, which is the starting point for overnight hikers and campers heading to the Na Pali Coast.

Due to limited parking, reservations for parking or shuttle service are required to access the park.

• Anini Beach - Located between Kapa’a and Princeville, Anini Beach is a top choice with its sandy shoreline and typically calm waters. Shady trees make it perfect for a long beach day.
• Hanalei Bay - This crescent-shaped bay features a nearly two-mile-long beach, surrounded by lush mountains and taro farms, offering a safe swimming spot.
• Hanapepe - A charming town with preserved historic plantation-style buildings and a vibrant artist community.

Art galleries and shops offer local souvenirs, including Niihau shell jewelry. Don’t miss a walk across the Hanapepe Swinging Bridge.

• Hanalei - Known for its relaxed surfer vibe, trendy cafes, and stores. Capture a photo of the pier with Namolokama’s rain-sculpted face in the background.
• Kealia Beach - Just north of Kapa’a, Kealia Beach is ideal for swimming in protected areas when the surf is calm.

It’s also a great spot to watch surfers or relax under a shady tree overlooking Kapa’a Beach.

• Kapaa - The liveliest town on Kauai’s eastern side, offering numerous dining options and authentic Hawaiian snacks. Enjoy wandering the stores or savoring a shave ice.

For the energetic, rent a bike and ride the 8-mile Kauai multi-use path along the coastline.

• Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge - Home to the Kilauea Lighthouse and a variety of seabirds. The refuge and Lighthouse are closed Sundays and Mondays, but the views remain accessible.

Reservations are required to visit Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge.

• Koke’e State Park - Extend your drive beyond Waimea Canyon to Koke’e State Park, reaching the end of the road.

The Kalalau Lookout offers stunning views of the Na Pali valley to the ocean, weather permitting. Pu’u O Kila provides different but equally magnificent views.

The Koke’e Natural Museum, a small rustic facility, showcases regional treasures and natural environment displays. Snacks are available here.

• Kilauea Lighthouse Trail - This restored, century-old lighthouse on cliffs above the Pacific Ocean offers breathtaking views and photo opportunities.

As a wildlife refuge, it hosts a variety of seabirds. The refuge and Lighthouse are closed Sundays and Mondays, but the views are still accessible.

• Poipu Beach Park - Known for Hawaiian monk seals, referred to as ‘dogs of the sea.’ Kauai is the best island to see them, especially at Poipu Beach and North Shore coves like Tunnels.

Seals rest on the beach after feeding, and as a protected species, it’s important to give them space and follow signage.

• Na Pali Coast State Park - Featuring spectacular scenery, the Na Pali Coast State Wilderness Park is accessible via challenging hiking, kayaking, or helicopter tours.

Note: Reservations are required for parking, shuttles, and overnight hiking via Ha’ena State Park on the Kuhio Highway.

• Poipu - The most popular resort area on Kauai’s south shore, known for its dry weather and three top sandy beaches: Kiahuna Beach, Poipu Beach Park, and Shipwrecks Beach.

Climb Makahuena Point for views or explore westward beaches for the Spouting Horn blowhole. Poipu offers excellent dining and shopping.

• Princeville - The largest resort area on Kauai’s northern shore, overlooking Hanalei Bay, with top hotels, restaurants, and golf.

Hideaway Beach is a charming cove, but the path is steep, and ocean conditions can be tricky. Princeville is a base for exploring the North Shore.

• Lihue - Kauai’s historical and commercial hub, offering authentic Hawaiian history and unique Kauaian cuisine. Kalapaki Beach, in front of the Marriott, is family-friendly and calm.

Continue past the cruise ship terminal to visit the Menehune Fish Pond, built by legendary ancient Hawaiians.

• Tree Tunnel - A stunning gateway to Kauai’s South Shore, featuring 500 Eucalyptus trees. Drive through the Tree Tunnel en route to Koloa and Poipu.

Gifted by pineapple plantation owner Walter McBryde in 1911, they survived Hurricane Iniki’s 145 mph winds.

• Wailua Falls - Just a 10-minute drive from Lihue, this iconic waterfall features two streams dropping 80 feet. The best view is from the parking area.

Photo Tip: Arrive early to capture rainbows in the waterfall mist.

• Waimea Canyon - Known as the Grand Canyon of the Pacific, Waimea Canyon boasts a stunning landscape shaped by volcanoes, earthquakes, and rain.

There are four must-see viewpoints along the canyon road, with additional spots for private views.

Tip: Visit in the morning for clearer views, as clouds often form in the afternoons.

• Spouting Horn - Located west of Poipu, this famous blowhole shoots water up to 50 feet through a lava tube.

A large car park and viewpoint offer great views, and humpback whales can be spotted from December to May.
