My tours are exclusively private as well, which means it will only be your group in the car!

See What My Guests Say About My Tours!

Know more about the island of kauai.

Kauai is the fourth largest island of Hawaii and driving it around for one day is not possible. However, you can still enjoy the island even when you have limited time. You’ll only need to create an itinerary that will enable you to go to various places. To ensure that you make the most of your time while you are in Kauai, you can call me to arrange a tour for you.

I offer 6-hour tours of the North and Southwest sides of Kauai. The Waimea Canyon tour allows you to explore southwest Kauai with its breathtaking scenery. Or, see the lush green areas on the North Shore tour as well as famous Kauai waterfalls and some of Hawaii’s best beaches.

Kauai has a special place in the hearts and minds of many visitors because it is one of the oldest Hawaiian islands. It also is the greenest among the islands of Hawaii, covered by mountains and forest. It is not surprising that Kauai has become a popular destination for tourists.

My tours are perfect for passengers on a cruise ship with limited time at port or tourists who only have half a day on the island. If you are thinking of visiting the island, I can help make your stay more memorable and hassle-free with my tours. You will enjoy the ultimate experience in this beautiful place. Also, learn about some amazing hidden gems while you explore this paradise.

Only if you think he went above and beyond your expectations. In America, tipping is a way of acknowledging a job well done. In general any person in a hotel, a cab/taxi/uber, airport, a dining table will be working for tips and they are greatly appreciated. I think of a tip like applause. You pay to go see a performance and your tip is the applause, and who doesn’t love a standing ovation? You can google appropriate tipping but for me a $20 tip per person, per day would be a suggested tip for me or any guide you use anywhere for a personally guided tour like I give, if you are so inclined.

The island of Kauai has many beautiful sights and natural wonders that will suit any taste. You can either relax, explore or dive into adventures while you’re here. There are a wide variety of Hawaiian activities on the Island, the best one will depend on what you enjoy the most. Surely, you’ll get to experience it in Kauai!

Kauai is the ideal place for people of all ages. Adults will love the natural wonders, and kids will enjoy exploring mountains and beaches alike. From relaxing to new adventures, Kauai has much to offer every visitor.

The North Shore is a great place to see natural waterfalls and enjoy all that Kauai has to offer from the shoreline as well as some good food. The Waimea Canyon offers you a chance to experience a majestic view of Kauai waterfalls, like the beautiful Waipo’o Falls. You will also be able to see what it feels like on top of a mountain with breathtaking views stretching out into infinity before your eyes.

On Kauai, there are innumerable unforgettable activities and attractions. The wonderful culture, people, and foods are a great bonus! You may be wondering if there is one particular place that you must visit while on the island. It all depends on your personal preferences and desires.

Below are 7 things you should not miss in Kauai according to Travel Channel .

1. Waimea Canyon

Visit Waimea Canyon Drive for many wonderful lookout points. You’ll get your picture-perfect moments from the overlook. If you’re looking for something even more impressive, take one of the trails that wind throughout the valley offering even bigger views.

2. Allerton Garden and Lawai Bay

If you want to get beautiful views of the south, consider Law Beach. The beach backs up to Allerton Garden and features great sunsets.

3. Na Pali Coast

The fifteen-mile Cliffs coast offers awe-inspiring views sprawled out along the coastline. You may also see whales while you view this natural wonder.

4. Hanalei Bay

If you’re visiting Kauai, a must-see is the Hanalei Bay on the northern coast. The beach provides ample space for day-trippers, snorkelers, and sometimes even surfers.

5. Farmers’ Markets

Farmers’ markets are abundant on the island and great for a fun walk from town. Sheets of fresh fruit like local pineapple await you there.

6. Acai Bowls

Make sure to try the perfect tropical treat that will make your mouth water. It’s a fruit-filled bowl that is Instagram-worthy.

7. Trying Poke

Poke is a traditional Hawaiian meal. It’s a bit like Sushi in a bowl. The number of poke varieties available is overwhelming, but you can choose by how you prefer your ahi.

The best way to experience things with your Kauai tour is by talking with me about your interests so we can plan a tour for you .

There are many activities on the island of Kauai. The number one activity is just exploring this beautiful place. You’ll get to see a variety of natural wonders, experience incredible adventures, enjoy delicious food and culture and so much more while you explore this paradise.

Other popular activities include hiking (with or without waterfalls), watching dolphins, helicopter tours over Napali Coast, scuba diving, or snorkeling at any of the amazing beaches on the east side like Tunnels Beach or Ke’e beach. If you want something different from your typical tropical vacation then try paddle boarding in Anini Beach Park. The place is suitable for beginners attempting to do this for the first time. You can even do this while enjoying the views and spotting tropical reef fish, eels, seahorses, eagle rays, green sea turtles, and different types of fish.

Another great activity is a visit to any farmers market, where they sell fresh produce, flowers, honey, and homemade items like jams & jellies, pickles & relish, and locally made crafts. These markets are open daily and are great places to explore the culture while enjoying fresh fruit usually source by locals directly from the region.

That is a question that I always get from clients. The answer to how many days in Kauai depends on what you want to do and see while you are here. You will probably need at least two full, consecutive days if your plan includes exploring the Napali Coast by boat or helicopter tour. You would also need more than one day if your plan includes taking in the sights and enjoying more than one activity or adventure on this big island.

I recommend a minimum of three days for any first-time visitor to Kauai. As for me, it’s best to try to stay a week on Kauai as it gives you time to get out and explore things at your own pace without rushing around too much from one place to another. That is my personal preference though! Your mileage may vary depending upon what exactly are your plans when you visit.

When you have limited time though, know that I offer tours where you can still enjoy Kauai in just six hours . We will maximize your stay and make sure that it will still be remarkable. Kauai is an amazing place for anyone looking for outdoor adventure, relaxation or even just time catching up with family and friends. So enjoy yourself while experiencing what Kauai has to offer.

The best time to visit Kauai is from April to June and September to November. In the off-peak months, the weather is still very comfortable without as many tourists around. The weather from September to November is equally beautiful with fewer tourists and more events and festivals. Since it’s the low season airfare and hotel rates drop during this time. Prices are slightly more expensive during the peak season, they become cheaper after the peak season ends and before families begin their summer travels. But any time of year can be a great time to go as long as you plan ahead and pick your activities wisely based on weather conditions for a given month or day.

It’s also important to check out weather conditions before your island adventure. This is for you to know what type of activities you can do and what clothing to bring with you. You don’t want to get caught off guard without the proper gear, especially if it is raining! Places to bookmark in your weather app would be Waimea, Poipu, Kapaa and Princeville.

Only on the tours originating from the cruise ships do I combine the tours but I do offer a premium private tour for those wanting the privacy and attention not found on the motor coaches from the ships.(See Kauai cruise ship passenger tour) . I also go where the motorcoaches don’t go on the Waimea Canyon State Park tours.

Warm sunshine and gentle rains are ideal conditions for a healthy green environment. While Hawaii is well known for its sunny, dry weather, Kauai’s climate includes periodic showers that provide the island with the necessary moisture.

Whether you are visiting during the winter or summer, sun exposure should be a consideration when planning your Kauai vacation. Poipu and Waimea on the Southside are ideal for sunny days. The driest areas on Kauai are the southern part of the island, like Poipu or Waimea and Kekaha. But even if rain showers pop up from time to time – these tend to pass quickly through with sunshine returning soon after.

However, it’s always best to check the forecast or ask locals for advice. Spending hours taking safety measures like researching the weather is all worth it. Even if there is rain on one side, it can be dry and sunny just a few miles away! So do your research in advance to ensure that weather conditions are perfect for what you plan to do while visiting Kauai.

Kauai has relatively mild weather year-round with warm temperatures, trade winds, and little seasonal temperature variation. But there is a rainy season that runs from November to March which can sometimes extend into April depending on how the seasons progress in Hawaii.

Rain is beneficial to the island environment by providing moisture for growth and replenishing groundwater. The rain in Kauai provides various benefits that tourists also enjoy. The rain makes the beautiful waterfalls flow and refreshes the flowers to make them bloom. Also, a rainbow may also appear after some showers.

The best way to tour around Kauai is by car . Driving through all four corners of the island will give easy access to different locations. It is also a great sightseeing opportunity.

There are many public buses on Kauai and they are affordable. However, they don’t always go to most of the tourists’ destinations. Buses stop near hotels and the airport, but attractions, such as Napali Coast, can be difficult to reach without a car. You can also check the public transportation schedule if you wish to try this option. They have detailed info included with per adult fee, seniors and kids get a discounted rate. It is surely another level of experience to explore a place with its public transportation.

Another way to get around Kauai is by booking guided tours with companies like mine. I understand that a lot of tourists do not have much time to do all the research on where to go or where to rent a car. That’s why I started my company, to make sure everyone can still have the chance to explore the beauty of Kauai even with a limited time. I want everyone to feel what I did and why I moved here. Everyone deserves the chance to experience what Kauai has to offer.

I’ll bring you to the spectacular places on the Island while giving insights about Kauai with interesting stories. Kauai Tour Guy is all about convenience and enjoyment. If you are looking for the best way to get around Kauai, then book a tour with us right away!

Hiring a tour guide is beneficial in many ways. With limited time, you will not have to spend it checking where to go or how to get there. You can sit back and relax while I drive you around the island showing what Kauai has to offer at its best. If you are the driver you do not want to miss out on the beautiful scenery because your eyes should be on the road.

Below are just a few of the reasons why you should hire me:

Flexibility Since I offer private tours , you can choose the places you want to go to, and which ones not to. I do have pre pre-arranged itineraries for Waimea Canyon and the North Shore , but you can let me know if there is a special request. I’ll surely give my best to accommodate it whenever possible.

Affordable tours at a reasonable price point You may be thinking that doing the tour on your own and renting a car is much cheaper than hiring a tour guide. Truth is, considering the convenience a tour guide offers, the expense is much less. You surely don’t want to end up finishing your limited time in the island trying to figure out the routes around the island or researching where to go, much less getting lost.

Saves Time When you hire me, you’ll save so much of your time. Time is important, not only do I arrive on time but I also make sure your tour is convenient and packed with great destinations. You also don’t need to spend time learning or figuring things out on your own. You can always let me know what interests you and I can always give sound advice or arrange it when needed.

Useful Insights All places have distinct traditions, having me as a tour guide ensures that you know these. It’s always best to learn and pay respect to the culture of the locals. This way you’ll be able to value the experience even more.

The best area for your stay while in Kauai will always depend on your purpose of stay and the activities you wish to do. You’ll have to identify below to make sure you get the accommodation that suits your needs:

• Budget Knowing your budget will help you filter out your searches. There’s no need to check on accommodations that are out of the budget. It’s either a waste of time or ending up booking something that is out of your allotted budget.
• Travel Destination This is very important as it will save you a lot. You surely don’t want to book a room that is far from public transportations when you don’t have a car with you. You’ll end up wasting a lot of your time and money. Also, if you wish to spend more time in a certain city then it’s only reasonable to book a stay there than to the next city.
• Number of Companions If you are traveling with a family, you might want to book an apartment or hostel where you’ll have access to the kitchen. However, if it’s just you or if you are a couple with a few days’ stay then paying for a hotel can be worth it.
• Activities Of course staying in a place where your activities are, is always the best way to go. You will not have to think about getting around and it’s more cost-efficient this way as well. This can be helpful especially when you are going on an adventure or if there’s something that requires physical exertion like hiking trails.
• Accommodation Expectation It’s important to check on your preferences. If you are the type who likes a certain comfort then make sure that whatever accommodations you book have everything as per your expectations. Budget and expectations usually do not match, sometimes you have to compromise one.

Once you have all these details with you, then you can start your search. You can also check on  Kauai’s Hotel reviews prior to booking your stay.

Kauai Travel Guide: The Facts

• Kauai’s Mt. Wai’ale’ale is the wettest spot on Earth, averaging 450 inches of rain per year.
• With a coastline of 111-miles, Kauai has more accessible beaches than any other island.
• Over 90% of the land on Kauai is used for Conservation and Agriculture and 70% of the island is inaccessible by foot.
• Chickens run wild on Kauai after Hurricane Iniki destroyed many of the chicken coops. You will get an early start in the morning as the roosters may wake you up.

• Kauai Coffee is the largest coffee plantation in the United States
• You cannot drive around the island. The Na Pali Cliffs and Waimea Canyon make it nearly impossible to build a road to connect west Kauai with the North Shore.
• Kauai is the oldest of the main Hawaiian Islands. Once rising more than 10,000 feet above sea level, Olokele Volcano has since eroded down to two main peaks — Waiʻaleʻale (5,148 feet) and Kawaikini (5,243 feet).

Kauai Travel Guide: Geography

Kauai, the Garden Isle, is Hawaii’s fourth-largest island. Like all of the Hawaiian islands, there are two sides: a leeward side and a windward side. The leeward side of the island is drier and the windward side is wetter. 

The island is divided into four main regions: the East Side (including Lihue), the West Side, the North Shore, and the South Shore. 

Also known as the Coconut Coast, the east side is home to groves of coconut trees (hence the name), and is the most populated area of the island. Sights here include the town of Kapa’a, the Wailua River, and ʻŌpaekaʻa Falls. If you’re looking for slightly cheaper accommodations, you’ll find some better value hotel deals on the east side.

There’s plenty to keep you busy in Kapa’a and around Lihue !

The west side feels like you’re miles away from everyone else on Kauai. Gone are the big resorts and traffic. Instead, you have dry landscape, very small towns like Hanapepe and Waimea, and some must-see sights. The most popular attractions here are Waimea Canyon and Koke’e State Park.

North Shore

Escape to the beauty of the north shore. This is truly an experience. The jagged cliffs, lush landscape, and beautiful beaches are dramatically breathtaking. Summer here is ideal and the charming town of Hanalei is bustling. Winter brings significantly more rain and large waves.

Two towns you’ll hear mentioned often on the North Shore are Hanalei and Princeville. Princeville is located on a bluff overlooking Hanalei Bay, but you’ll need to drive across Hanalei bridge to reach the town.

When you’re planning your trip, be sure to check out our list of the best things to do in Hanalei.

South Shore

Picture perfect beaches and the best resorts are located on the sunny south shore. You’ll find famous Poipu Beach here as well as historic Koloa Town. And don’t forget Spouting Horn and the Maha’ulepu Heritage Trail. 

This is a great place to stay, especially in the winter months, if you’re hoping for a beach vacation where you can walk from your accommodations to a swimmable beach. In Poipu, there are also plenty of restaurants to enjoy, lots of places to snorkel, and activities galore. It might not be as green and as lush as the north shore, but it has more mild weather year-round.

Check out our favorite things to do in Poipu to help plan your trip.

What’s the Best Time of Year to Visit Kauai?

While you may be visiting from a place that has four seasons each year, in Hawaii there are just two: summer (kau) and winter (hooilo). Summer runs from May to October and winter lasts from November to April. 

As with all the Hawaiian islands, the lowest prices, best weather, and smallest crowds are during the shoulder seasons of September to mid-November and March to May. But one thing to note is that Kauai has warm weather year-round but it does get significantly more rain than the other islands.

You can check out the average rainfall by month and average temperature by month for Hanalei (north shore) and Poipu (south shore). It’s easy to see that Hanalei consistently gets more rain than Poipu all year and is a bit cooler as well.

If you are planning to visit outside of the summer months, staying on the North Shore will mean a lot more rain and rough ocean conditions. If you decide to visit Kauai outside of the summer months, you might want to plan your stay on the South Shore for your best chance of sunny skies and calmer ocean conditions. 

We dive into this more and help you pick the best time to visit Kauai .

Our favorite month to visit Kauai is September. It checks all the boxes for the cheapest time to go, great weather, and it’s less crowded. 

If you can’t get away during the school season, then late May and June are good times to go during the busy season.

And if you’re curious about ocean temperatures and conditions, we have good news. The ocean temperature is always between 75 to 80 degrees, year-round. That means you can swim comfortably in January and in June.

But aside from temperature, consider waves. During the summer months, you can usually find calm water in many places around the island. The exception is if there is a storm (or remnants of a storm) passing by or if the island is getting a south swell. 

In the winter, north swells can bring choppy water and large waves to the north and east sides of the island, while Poipu and the south shore stay a bit calmer. 

This site from the Hawaii Department of Health gives a great overview of when you typically see swells in what areas of the island. 

Kauai Travel Guide: Getting to Kauai

There is one main airport on the island, Lihue Airport (LIH) , which welcomes overseas and inter-island flights. Located on the south-east side of the island, it’s approximately 50 minutes from Princeville on the North Shore, 25 minutes from Poipu on the South Shore, and 10 minutes from the Royal Coconut Coast resort area on the east side.

Renting a Car and Getting Around Kauai

Should you rent a car on Kauai? Most likely, yes. While Kauai does have a bus system and has uber and taxis, renting a car makes traveling around on your vacation easier. 

Our favorite tip for anyone visiting Hawaii is to book with Discount Hawaii Car Rental . When we travel inter-island or we have friends in town, we use them 95% of the time. They offer the most competitive rates, they work with national agencies, you don’t have to pre-book, and you can cancel at any time. We also have some great local companies listed on our rental car recommendations page. 

For the most part, the roads on Kauai are well paved and easy to navigate with any type of car — no 4-wheel drive required! Though if you want to rent a jeep…it really is fun. 

Lihue Airport (LIH) is located in the capital city of Li’hue. In a centralized location, it is easy to hop in a rental car and head south to Poipu (25-minute drive) or north to Princeville and Hanalei Bay (45-minute drive).

Kauai Travel Guide: Where to Stay on Kauai

Think of Kauai as a compass when considering where to stay:

The most popular resort areas are Poipu (south shore) and Princeville (north shore). They have the best beaches and activities nearby. 

For the best year-round weather, look to Poipu and the South Shore as these beaches stay relatively calm during the winter months while the North Shore gets the big surf. 

There is so much more to consider so take a deep dive before you book your accommodations:

If you’re searching for the perfect hotel or vacation rental, we have you covered. Our Where to Stay database is where we post reviews of our favorite resorts on the island. You can search by price or type and we’re adding to it every week!

Some of our favorites that we love to highlight are:

• Kiahuna Plantation Resort: condos right on Kiahuna Beach — a gorgeous spot!
• Koloa Landing resort : our favorite hotel on the south shore
• Poipu Kapili: great gardens and just a short walk to the beach
• Waipouli Beach Resort : our pick for the east side

Should you stay in a hotel or vacation rental on Kauai?

Go for a hotel if you’re looking for the traditional resort experience with big pools, nearby beaches, and restaurants within walking distance. Opt for a vacation rental if you want access to a kitchen, are looking for space, or are looking to save money. 

We routinely stay in both. We’ll book a vacation rental for the majority of our stay so we have access to a kitchen and a little more space for the kids. Then we’ll treat ourselves to a great resort for a few days to enjoy the pool and other amenities. This has been a winning combo for us recently. 

If you’re still not sure what you want to do, we break down the difference between choosing a hotel and a vacation rental in Hawaii .  

What part of Kauai should you stay on?

Most visitors to Kauai plan to stay in one of three areas: Princeville (on the North Shore), Poipu (on the South Shore), or the Royal Coconut Coast (on the East side). Where you decide to stay will depend on the time of year, the vibe you’re going for, and your budget. 

We help you make sense of this big decision with our full where to Stay on Kauai guide . 

If you’re coming with kids, check out of list of the best family friendly resorts on Kauai . And if you’re coming to Kauai for your honeymoon, don’t miss our favorite honeymoon resorts . 

How Many Days Should You Spend on Kauai?

How much time do you have? Kauai isn’t a large island but there is a lot to do and see so deciding how long to stay can be a challenge. 

According to Hawaii Tourism Authority data, visitors spend an average of 8 days on the island. Ideally, spending at least a week on Kauai will give you time to balance relaxation with adventure. If you’re island-hopping while in Hawaii, you might feel comfortable visiting Kauai for a few less days but make sure you prioritize your time to see all that you want to (we help you do that in the sections below!).

Read more about why we think a week on Kauai is a good idea . And don’t miss our Hawaii packing list as you’re getting ready to go.

Honestly, there is so much to do on Kauai, check out our list of the top things to do on Kauai before you decide how long you want to stay.

The Best Beaches and Snorkeling Spots on Kauai

When you are heading to Kauai, you’re in for a treat. The island has plenty of beautiful beaches to choose from, including our favorites: 

• Ke’e Beach: Yes, heading to this beach requires a lot of advanced planning (in the form of a reservation ), but it’s worth it. This is our favorite beach on Kauai for summer swimming thanks to the crystal clear water and the stunning cliffs as a backdrop. The start of the famous Kalalau trail departs from here, but you’ll also need another permit to access that hiking trail.
• Poipu Beach: This south shore beach has been named one of the best in America, and we don’t disagree. Golden sand crescents make this a beautiful spot for beachgoers and snorkelers. Plus, with plenty of parking, heading here is enjoyable.
• Makua (Tunnels) Beach: This beach is stunning, especially in the summer. It’s also a very popular snorkeling spot. But parking here is very limited. Your best bet is to arrive early and park at Ha’ena Beach and make the walk to Tunnels. Ha’ena Beach has a larger parking lot, lifeguards, and showers.

We have a few resources to help you pick the best beach on Kauai.

• The 10 Best Beaches on Kauai: stunning spots you don’t want to miss!
• The 9 Best Beaches on Kauai for Swimming
• The 7 Best Beaches on Kauai in the Winter
• Top Kauai Snorkeling Spots
• Our 7 Favorite Kid-Friendly Kauai Beaches

And if snorkeling is high on your to-do list, check out our five favorite snorkeling spots on Kauai and our favorite snorkeling tours on Kauai . 

Remember that while the beaches in Hawaii are beautiful, they are not without risk. Currents, dangerous shore break, and changing ocean conditions make swimming in any ocean dangerous. Practice beach safety by swimming on beaches with lifeguards, obeying lifeguard flags, and when in doubt, don’t go out. This website has more excellent information to help keep you safe.

• Waimea Canyon: The Grand Canyon of the Pacific makes for a fantastic day trip. Take a view, enjoy the views, and don’t forget to keep driving up the road to Koke’e State Park. On a clear day you can get a stunning Napali Coast view.  
• Ha’ena State Park: Whether you’re coming for hiking or the beach, this state park offers it all. While you do need reservations to get in, it’s worth the effort and is high on our list of can’t miss experiences.
• Poipu Beach: two crescent-shaped beaches come together to welcome sea turtles at sunset. We recommend going during the day as there is snorkeling , surf lessons , and 20 more things to do in Poipu .
• Waterfalls: Kauai has some beautiful waterfalls all over the island. Check out this list of our favorite Kauai waterfalls .

The Best Tours & Activities on Kauai

While we embrace DIY travel, there’s something to be said for a great tour when you’re in Hawaii. Not only are you supporting a local business, but you’re getting time with a guide who truly knows the island. Whether they’re teaching you the history of the islands during a canoe tour or they’re educating you on marine life during a snorkeling trip, a good tour experience can stick with you for years. 

• Napali Coast Snorkel with Holo Holo Charters : Take in the beautiful Napali Coast and snorkel off the coast of the forbidden island, Niihau on this snorkeling day tour. 
• Mountain Tubing Adventure : Head into the backcountry with this very popular tour, tubing down a former irrigation system. 
• Wailua River Kayak Tour : Enjoy kayaking and a hike up the Wailua River to a waterfall. 

We’ve done the hard work for you by finding the best of the best tours on the island. Here’s a sampling of our favorites to get started, but don’t forget to check out our full list .
