Best Things to Do in Kauai
Kauai is an excellent destination for an outdoor enthusiast, whether you're looking to hike and kayak, or swim and relax on the beach. The island's traveler-recommended activities include exploring the Na Pali Coast and Kalalau Trail, or hiking through Waimea Canyon. Getting to know the fabulous beaches is also a must; Po'ipu Beach or Kalapaki on the south coast can't be missed. The north coast's Hanalei Bay and Hanakapi'ai Beach are also nice.
