For many, vacationing on Kauai is the culmination of much time spent dreaming and planning. And while planning the details of a much-anticipated island getaway can at times feel overwhelming, it doesn’t have to. Consider these factors when planning your Kauai vacation!
What to Do in Kauai
Beach days are in order when vacationing on Kauai, home to countless pristine white sand beaches. Whether you prefer to lounge along the shoreline and soak in the views or participate in water activities such as surfing, boogie boarding, snorkeling, or stand-up paddleboarding, among others, there are many ways to stay entertained on your day at the beach in Kauai. More ways to enjoy the water include taking a dolphin or whale watching boat tour or booking a fishing excursion. Kauai also boasts a large number of hiking trails which lead to waterfalls and scenic views. Other land-based activities such as golfing, horseback riding, ziplining, and ATV tours all provide options to add to the itinerary. With shopping and dining options also on the scene, Kauai truly does offer something for everyone!
How to Get Around Kauai
Kauai offers a public bus system that is an inexpensive option for getting around, with fares that are just $2 per trip or $5 for a one-day pass. With most stops offering pickups just once per hour, travelers who opt to use the Kauai Bus should have a flexible schedule. There are also some sites that are not included in the bus route. For ultimate flexibility, consider renting a car for your Kauai vacation. Kauai rental cars tend to book up quickly and should be booked in advance prior to arrival. With a little planning, getting around Kauai is fairly simple.
Where to Stay in Kauai
Forgo the large chain hotels in favor of local boutique condos and villas. These offer a more local, personalized feel and are often more budget-friendly while still offering up a host of amenities. Although Kauai is a relatively small island, location is also a factor when deciding where to base your stay. Staying along the island’s east coast provides easy access to beautiful white sand beaches, island activities, and the largest assortment of shopping and dining options. This also makes a great jumping off point for excursions to both the north and south shores as day trips.
