This is a list of my favorite things to do/see in Kauai (in no particular order)
1. Waimea Canyon
Waimea Canyon, Waimea, Kauai
Beautiful drive up there and a priceless view from many different lookout points.
2. Poipu Beach Park
Poipu Beach Park, Poipu, Kauai
Nice beach to snorkel and soak up some sun!
3. Smith Family Luau
Smith Family Luau, Kauai, Hawaii
Good food and good show - the grounds are absolutely beatiful!
4. Liko Kauai Cruises
Liko Kauai Cruises, Waimea, Kauai
We went on a Na'pali tour (breathtaking!) and made a stop to snorkel!
5. Ke'e Beach
Ke'e Beach, Kauai, Hawaii
On the North side of the Island, where Na'Pali begins.
6. Poipu Plantation Resort
Poipu Plantation Bed and Breakfast, Poipu, Kauai
Stay in the honeymoon suite!
7. InterIsland Helicopters
http://www.interislandhelicopters.com/about.htm
Helicopter Tour of the whole island, with a stop for lunch at an unaccessible waterfall! There are no doors on this helicopter - exhilarating!
8. Kalalua Lookout
Kalalau Lookout, Kauai, Hawaii
Picture perfect view - if it isn't too foggy! It was when we visited.
9. Jo Jo's Shave Ice
The BEST shave ice on the island. I got coconut, guava, and mango with vanilla ice cream on the bottom - perfection! It is in Waimea, so grab some before or after going up to the canyon.
10. Kayak Wailua River / Hike to Secret Falls
First you kayak up the river, then you stop and take a hike to Secret Falls. There are a few different Kayak companies that you can take.
11. Opaekaa Falls
http://www.hawaiiweb.com/kauai/html/sites/opaekaa_falls.html
Beautiful falls - they say it is not accessible, but we found our way to the bottom! It was quite a hike, but there was a rope to help you at certain points. The directions to do so were in the Ultimate Guide to Kauai - the directions aren't perfect though...you have to kinda look around and find your own way. Quite an adventure but it pays off when you get to take a swim in the falls and get a breakthtaking up-close view.
12. Queen's Bath
Queen's Bath, Princeville, Kauai
Nice warm water, a great view of the ocean, plus you can even bring your snorkel equipment because there are some fish in it!
13. Roy's Poipu Bar & Grill
Roy's Poipu Bar & Grill, Poipu, Kauai
Expensive but delicious!
14. Keoki's Paradise
Keoki's Paradise, Koloa, Kauai
Nice ambience and good fish!
15. Snorkel Bob's
http://snorkelbob.com/cgi-local/SoftCart.exe/?E+scstore
Offer snorkelling equipment - convenient drop-off whenever you are ready (even if its is before or after hours). You can rent for the whole week if you want!
16. Na Pali Coast
Na Pali Coast, Kauai, Hawaii
Absolutely beautiful!! Must See!!
17. Spouting Horn
Spouting Horn, Lawai, Kauai
Neat to see - there were a few sea turltes here when we went, too.
