Things to do
Kalalau Lookout
Located on the same road as the Waimea Canyon. Just keep driving up the mountain and you will get to Kalalau Lookout. Popular lookout point for picturesque panoramas over the Kalalau Valley & the ocean.
Pu’u o Kila Lookout
Passing Kalalau Lookout you will get to Pu’u o Kila Lookout. The view is slightly different than the previous lookout, and it’s just fun to reach the “end of the road” right?!
Helicopter Tour
A helicopter tour is the best way to see the island of Kauai. With over 70% of the island being inaccessible by land, you'll see areas that can only be seen from the air. You'll also have better views of many parts of the island. Highlights of most helicopter tours on Kauai include Jurassic Park Falls, the Hanapepe Valley, Waimea Canyon, the Na Pali Coast, the Hanalei Valley, and Mt. Waialeale. Most tours last between 50 minutes and an hour, though some companies offer longer tours that are usually accompanied by a stop. Our favorite company is Mauna Loa Helicopter .
Opaeka'a Falls
Mauka on Highway 56, right around mile marker 6, you'll cross over Wailua River. If you're heading north, make sure you're in the left lane as the right splits off onto its own unique little bridge. You'll be looking for Kuamo'o Road (Highway 580) on the mauka side of the highway. Head up Kuamo'o Road until you see a pullout for Opaeka'a Falls on your right, shortly before the second-mile marker. From this overlook, you can get a spectacular view of 150+ foot Opaeka'a Falls. The falls are at their best in full sunlight (late morning usually). So if you visit on a cloudy day, definitely try to return at a sunnier hour. Best of all, the falls are flowing year round.
Kayak Wailua
The paddle upstream to the trail head where the kayaks are secured is about 45 minutes. You carry your dry bag and cooler the short 35 minute walk/hike to Secret Falls.
Queen's Bath
Queen's Bath is a unique tide pool on the island of Kauaʻi, Hawaii. The pool is a sinkhole surrounded by igneous rock.
Luau Kalamaku
The Luau Kalamaku is an unforgettable evening filled with a lavish island buffet and a truly immersive and interactive show. You’ll also be able to explore the many shops and experience the cultural demonstrations that bring the Hawaiian traditions to life.
Tunnels Beach
Tunnels Beach (Makua) is the ultimate snorkeling and scuba divers beach. This crescent shaped bay is fringed by palms and Ironwood trees. The golden sand beach has a backdrop of lush jungle and mountains making this a picture perfect beach.
Ke'e Beach
Kee, located at the end of the road on the north shore of Kauai, is one of the most spectacular beaches in Hawaii, with views of the Na Pali coast.
Waimea Canyon Lookout
Driving up to Waimea Canyon is a must. Waimea Canyon is also known as the Grand Canyon of the Pacific, is a large canyon, approximately ten miles long and up to 3,000 feet deep, located on the western side of Kauaʻi .
Hanalei Bay
Hanalei Bay is the largest bay on the north shore of Kauaʻi island in Hawaii. The town of Hanalei is at the midpoint of the bay. Hanalei Bay consists of nearly two miles of beach, surrounded by mountains. In the summer, the bay offers excellent mooring for sailboats, stand up paddle boarding and swimming
