One of our absolute favorite things to do on the North Shore. 8-mile round trip hike through the jungle to swim under a 400ft waterfall. Advance reservations are now required for all visitors. Go to the state park website for reservations and information - https://www.gohaena.com If you're interested in doing the hike, they open up reservations 30 days in advance.
Without a road encircling the island, many of Kauai’s most stunning sights are inaccessible by land. From Na Pali Coast to Waimea Canyon to the actual deep jungle “Jurassic Falls”, there’s so much to see. With so much to explore, a Kauai helicopter tour is truly the only way to experience all of Kauai’s most epic scenery. There are many helicopter tour companies on island and pros and cons to the different aircrafts. We personally love “doors off” tours.
Charming beachside community on Kauai’s East shore. Cool shops, killer food trucks other great spots for eats.
