Let’s Go
Plan Your Kauai Tour Day
Kauai is easier to plan when you stay aware of the coast you are visiting. Na Pali, Wailua, Poipu and the North Shore each need their own timing.
Poipu Base
A good base for beach time, snorkeling, luaus and South Shore dining.
Na Pali Day
Book Na Pali boat tours early in the day when ocean conditions are often calmer.
Wailua Route
Kayaking, waterfalls, river scenery and nearby cultural stops are easier to plan in the same Wailua area.
North Shore Plan
Allow extra time for scenic drives, beaches, overlooks and changing weather.
