Question

Answer

Semi formal resort wear! Color suggestions: magenta, orange, golden, dark green, dark blue, pink, (tropical print)

Question

What should I pack?

Answer

The weather will be warm ( 80s and humid) Swim suit/swim shorts Reef safe sunblock - Hawaii has a ban on two ingredients: oxybenzone or octinoxate. Please check labels before packing! There are lots of reef safe brands out there like Alba Botanica, Sun Bum, Hawaiian Tropics etc. Athleisure/athletic wear like shorts, yoga pants, biker shorts, sneakers. Highly suggest bringing along Tevas or Chacos (adventure/hiking sandal) these are perfect for hiking, waterfalls, beach excursions ( a lot of beaches in Hawaii are rocky ). Hat/sun hat Fanny pack/crossbody bag/backpack for hiking/excursions Light jacket, light rain jacket - Kauai is known for having little sprinkles of rain. We are going in dry season but if you venture to North Shore there is a higher chance of it sprinkling in the rainforest. You also just have the beach breeze in the evening so light jean jacket, or linen shirt is great!

Question

Do I need reservations for any of the beaches/Na Pali Coast trails?

Answer

Please note that all of Kauai's beaches are public except Ha'ena state park, a reservation is required. Here you can visit anicent taro fields, Ke'e beach and the trails to enter the Na Pali Coast/waterfalls. Reservations must be made in advance. Reservations can be made here: https://gohaena.com/

Question

What info do you have on camping?

Answer

If you plan on camping you will need a permit/reservation - I would plan this in advance as they sell out fast. Permits / reservations can be obtained here: https://recreation.kauai.gov/wbwsc/webtrac.wsc/search.html?module=RN&search=yes

Question

How is cell service?

Answer

Cell service can be very spotty on the island, if you make reservations for anything I highly suggest printing them or just taking a screen shot of them on your phone to show at the gate/entry. Also if you notice you have no service turn on airplane mode so you don't drain your battery, you will want to save batter for all the amazing photo ops!
