For visitors to Kauai, we generally find that this is not the first visit to Hawaii, and the visit will be filled with plenty of down time. However, the age-old question of “What to do on Kauai” still needs to be answered.
Kauai, as the least developed of the islands, features tours and activities that take place outdoors, with the island’s natural features providing the most amazing backdrop, and showing off the oldest island in Hawaii.
The most popular place to visit is the Na Pali Coast, and visiting the massive sea cliffs that stretch for 14 miles can be done in a number of ways. Many visitors enjoy the sites from the comfort of a state of the art helicopter, taking in views that are only found high in the sky. You can also enjoy the scenic coast on a Sailing Tour, or Sunset Dinner Cruise. Sightseeing on Kauai is incredible, and one of the top sites to see, aside from the Na Pali Coast, is Waimea Canyon, stretching for as far as the eye can see.
Though sightseeing on the island is top notch, adventures are everywhere on the island, and you can choose from great activities like ATV tours, surfing, kayaking, horseback riding, zipline tours, and Scuba Diving. Al great options, and all guaranteed to make your time on the island incredible.
Once the sun starts to set, the island quiets down considerably. Each resort and town features plenty of great restaurants to try, so be sure to ask around for recommendations.
Of course, the top thing to do at night is to attend an authentic Hawaiian luau. Kauai’s most famous luau is the Smith’s Family Luau, operating nightly for 50 years, on some of the most beautiful land on the island. You can even combine the luau with a cruise up the Wailua River for an even more amazing evening.
