Do you guys know anywhere that accepts unopened food donations? (preferably Princeville or Hanalei area) we will be on Kauai in a few weeks and always like to donate any unopened/ unspoiled food at the end of the trip
Reposting this from a previous comment with some amendments - My wife and I have been to Kauai 12 times in the last 15 years, and were there last in May of 2023. This video is extremely informative. As someone that has been pretty much everywhere on the island, a few things to add from our experience: One, if you want lots of sunny days on your vacation, stay on the south side of the island. The north shore is quite beautiful, but you will absolutely get rained on more. Two, as they noted and I cannot emphasize this more - eat lots of local food! Village Snack Shop and bakery in Hanalei has awesome lunch and excellent pie! In Lihue, the best mac nut pancakes in the world and outstanding oxtail soup is in the diner at the Tip Top Motel. In Kapaa, we love Pono Market. In Koloa, the Koloa Fish Market and the walk up window at the Sueoka grocery store are both great. Three, make use of the excellent farmers markets that happen pretty much daily somewhere on the island - particularly if you are staying in a house or condo that has a kitchen. The expensive sugar loaf pineapples are worth it. Trust me. We also stock up a bit at Costco in Lihue on the way from the airport to our condo. Four, some of the best hikes anywhere in the world are on this island. There are a lot of websites like alltrails that have plenty of info on them. One of my favorites is the Awa'awapuhi Trail. Five, consider making a donation at the humane society. They do amazing and tough work on the island. You can also take a dog out for the day - donation required - which is a lot of fun for both you and the dog! Six, the coffee plantation is a nice place to visit for an afternoon. They also have ice cream for sale. Seven, the Hanapepe Art Night is a fun time along the main street in town, a chance to see some local art and shop some local stores. The Talk Story bookstore is particularly great! Kauai is beautiful and the people who live there are lovely and welcoming!
When I went ot Kauai, I got a hotel on the east side, to be more “central” to the north and south. But the current was strong there, pushing you down the coast. I did a Napali coast boat tour, going into the sea caves was amazing and a turtle was checking me out while snorkeling. Also, did a helicopter tour around the island - although pricey, it was absolutely amazing! Did a hike to the top of the cliffs on the Napali coast, which has spectacular views.
There is no mild waters on Kauai. Kalapaki Bay may be the one exception, but a large S E swell changes that. Anahola Bay would be my second suggestion, but onshore winds will add to the power of that shore. Kauai is the drowning capital of Hawaii.
@@toddf7582 Kauai is a natural beauty. The shore is dynamic, to put it mildly. I'm glad you had a safe trip. Come back soon. I love west Maui. The water is protected by the islands of Molokai and Lanai . In fact the calm waters stimulate visitors to attempt to swim distances of 1/4 mile off shore and more !!! Maui is the shark bite capitol of Hawaii and the enticing waters may be the reason. Have a look, next trip.
Went there this February for 1 yr wedding anniversary. It's such a tropical lush island. Everyone is so friendly. So many vegan options too!! Took the tubing, allerton garden tour & much more thanks to your videos 🙌 saw the monk seal, turtles, pigs, & whales just by walking around. & 🐓 all over the place❤
My wife and I love Kauai and it is our favorite Hawaiian Island. I really like both of your energy and the travel tips you provide. Keep up the good work. You make me want to plan the next Kauai trip for sure.
Kauai Island is my favorite place in the world 🌎 that's for sure .I lived 35 years in Kauai Island. I left Kauai Island in 2023. September.But I can return if a strong desire to return
I was there last year with my friend. I love it there. So relaxing and the beach is beautiful ❤ This island isn’t busy. It's quiet and no major traffic jams.
After 7 trips to Kauai I would highly recommend staying on the north shore. 10x as beautiful. They also have a Napali tour that leaves from hanalei. You’ll have to make one long drive your whole trip and that’s to go to Waimea
@@priscillaghartey3239that is where we stayed in October. Great resort and they were in the middle of completing many upgrades which should be completed now
I’m going in a few weeks and we booked with a tour out of Waimea. I intentionally did this so we could then spend the remainder of the day in the Waimea area, stop by the state park to see the canyon lookout. And on the way back, hoping to catch the sunset at Poipu beach. What’re your thoughts?
A major do is stay in poipu or Kapaa area as they’re pretty accessible to anywhere. 2 major don’ts are don’t rent a car from budget there, beyond terrible. The other is don’t cross the road assuming drivers are gonna stop when they’re supposed to, I’ve seen people get hit.
We planned our Maui trip thanks to your channel and website and will be doing the same for our upcoming trip to Kauai in August. You guys make traveling easy :)
We’re planning a return trip to Kauai later this year. Again, thanks for all the super helpful info and insight you guys provide and please know that your desire to share your experiences is very much appreciated. 🤙🌴🌺🍍🏄♀️
Recommend Lydgate chocolate farm, just inland from Kapa’a. We skipped the tour and just did the chocolate tasting- wow- the chocolate covered macadamia nuts are amazing!! Great gift to take home and they pack it in a container with ice packs.
Thanks for all your great videos, Jordan and Erica!! We are currently here on Kauai, on this Good Friday, and have done a lot of your recommendations! One thing we’ve also done is the free Hula Show at Coconut Marketplace! (On Thursday at noon) They did an excellent job of singing, the hula girls and even a flame thrower and it was free!! (Enjoyed Jo Jo’s Shave Ice, which you recommended too😊) Thanks for all the informative videos!! Mahalo!!😎🏖️🌴Kevin and Gwen from MN 😉
Aloha Gwen and Kevin from MN, have a wonderful time on Kauai! I'm glad our recommendations are coming through for you. Thanks for sharing the free hula show at Coconut Marketplace. I love when the shopping centers offer free shows and activities. Enjoy the rest of your trip! More shave ice to be had.
Kayak Kauai is highly recommended for a great experience. Also, the first two miles of the NaPali Coast Trail to Hanakapi'ai Beach is a great hike and a beautiful beach to explore but do not swim there. Reservations are required from the DLNR or take the shuttle as was suggested (I haven't tried that yet). My favorite farmers market is at Kauai Community College, Saturdays, 9:30am - 1pm.
AAAAAHhhhh! I thought I was set on the Big Island for my trip in October but Kauai looks amazing as well..... also seems smaller and more intimate.. I'm tying to escape the hustle and bustle and people (lol) in my daily life in Los Angeles..... hmmmmm
Great video. I went to Maui last October and planning to visit a different island this October. I can stay at the Westin princeville with my points. I stayed at Westin Kanapali last year and it was amazing. We did the Haleakala and the road to hana tours. I was torn between Maui and Princeville this year. I guess Kuaui it is. 😊
Love all your videos and blogs! They are organized so well, and the fact that you give multiple ideas is wonderful. We've watched just about everything you have on Kauai, but one thing I see missing is what to do on that final day when you're waiting for an evening flight. For example: where do we store luggage? Also, is there a place to take a shower and get ready for the flight that charges by the hour or is reasonable (besides YWCA)? Would love to see those ideas touched on, as it's the last day that's so troublesome. Thank you so much for all that you do and for the beautiful experiences you've highlighted. Mahalo
Please, whoever is reading this, don't miss out on Tunnels Beach. I remember watching a video in which you guys mention the beach being more than you expected, and not in a good way. However, I would strongly advise EVERYONE who visits Kauai (especially the North Shore) to go visit Tunnels / Cannons and snorkel or swim. That place is beyond beauty, and it hosts one of the most picturesque sunsets on the entire island. I understand we're all different, and you folks have a kid, but there must have been something TERRIBLE that happened to you guys there to not mention Tunnels Beach! 😂
Thanks for sharing! We love going to Tunnels and we share it in other videos. The snorkel spot is known for strong currents so we give a safety warning when we talk about it. It’s off limits in the winter.
Thanks for this. We plan this August 2024 and we’re excited. We will be staying at Kiahuna area. What’s a good hike trail location that will end up to a beautiful beach for swimming right after an easy to moderate hike? 🤙🏼
I am setting up a channel on TH-cam, called 62 or better. I want to address the issues of folks that I’ve retired, don’t have to work anymore, and want to do fun things like go traveling. I want to do a series of TH-cam videos on our 14 day trip through the Panama Canal. I have an iPhone 13. I have TH-cam wireless microphones made by Lonzie. What other equipment should I take with me on my cruise?
Good luck on the new channel! Keep it simple on equipment for your first videos. The microphone and good sound quality is the most important thing. But also the hardest, especially when filming outside. Our sound can be improved.
Love your channel! I do have a question. If we wanna move to Hawaii but we're heat intolerant, and love the rain, where would have the coolest summer? Also are there any luxury or newer and safe suburbs with great neighborhoods and great schools?
Hi guy, love your content, what do you think is the best island to visit with family in late May early June? On somewhat of a budget. lol, no such thing in Hawaii I know.
NOAA data says 75 degrees is the coldest it gets. See our article here for data: thehawaiivacationguide.com/best-time-to-visit-hawaii/#the-best-time-to-go-swimming-in-hawaii
Hi! Thank you for such an informative video! I am traveling to Kaua'i soon so I wanted to ask about the May weather conditions there. Anything I should prepare for? Lots of rain? Anything helps!
Usually it is the start of the dry season but they are getting a late storm this week. See here for visiting in May thehawaiivacationguide.com/hawaii-in-may/
As a first time vistor to Hawaii do you recommend Kona or Kauai? Im torn in between both. My husband and I will be traveling together for the first time in a long time. Its pretty much a honeymoon we never got lol.
This Hanalei departure tour is a catamaran which makes for a nice trip. It is pricey compared to Port Allen options. thehawaiivacationguide.com/activities/napali-coast-from-hanalei/
We are leaving this Friday for 10 days in Kauai. We were looking at excursions and could not believe how expensive they were!! Is there a lot you can do without signing up for excursions? We snorkel a lot and don’t feel we need to book snorkeling….can we just plan things on our own? Thanks!!!!
Yes, there are a lot of free or low cost things to do! Our itineraries are 95% free or a parking fee for the excursion days. You can also explore our things to do articles for Kauai, like the one below. We like to recommend doing one tour for the local and unique experience. We list our favorite snorkel spots on Kauai. Explore our website for more. thehawaiivacationguide.com/things-to-do-on-kauai/
When there is a rainy season November and December is it raining all the time? Day and night? Every day? We have an opportunity to travel there but in November and December … now I am a little bit worried
Rains can be short and warm. Stick to the south shore of the forecast is a lot of rain. See our article for details thehawaiivacationguide.com/hawaii-in-november/
I like flying Delta and found that the 12 day period from 9/4-9/16 was the cheapest 2 weeks of the year. Not sure what your budget is, but maybe it's worth a look.

Do you guys know anywhere that accepts unopened food donations? (preferably Princeville or Hanalei area) we will be on Kauai in a few weeks and always like to donate any unopened/ unspoiled food at the end of the trip
Reposting this from a previous comment with some amendments - My wife and I have been to Kauai 12 times in the last 15 years, and were there last in May of 2023. This video is extremely informative. As someone that has been pretty much everywhere on the island, a few things to add from our experience:
One, if you want lots of sunny days on your vacation, stay on the south side of the island. The north shore is quite beautiful, but you will absolutely get rained on more.
Two, as they noted and I cannot emphasize this more - eat lots of local food! Village Snack Shop and bakery in Hanalei has awesome lunch and excellent pie! In Lihue, the best mac nut pancakes in the world and outstanding oxtail soup is in the diner at the Tip Top Motel. In Kapaa, we love Pono Market. In Koloa, the Koloa Fish Market and the walk up window at the Sueoka grocery store are both great.
Three, make use of the excellent farmers markets that happen pretty much daily somewhere on the island - particularly if you are staying in a house or condo that has a kitchen. The expensive sugar loaf pineapples are worth it. Trust me. We also stock up a bit at Costco in Lihue on the way from the airport to our condo.
Four, some of the best hikes anywhere in the world are on this island. There are a lot of websites like alltrails that have plenty of info on them. One of my favorites is the Awa'awapuhi Trail.
Five, consider making a donation at the humane society. They do amazing and tough work on the island. You can also take a dog out for the day - donation required - which is a lot of fun for both you and the dog!
Six, the coffee plantation is a nice place to visit for an afternoon. They also have ice cream for sale.
Seven, the Hanapepe Art Night is a fun time along the main street in town, a chance to see some local art and shop some local stores. The Talk Story bookstore is particularly great!
Kauai is beautiful and the people who live there are lovely and welcoming!
Thanks for sharing those great tips and places to eat!!

We find that the Waipouli Beach Resort is the perfect place for us. Central location, well equipped units. Just a beautiful place!
We agree! It will be in our video in a couple of weeks.
This is right one time cuz I arrived to Kauai a few days ago! Don't have a car but getting around alright..😅

Great video. Would you recommend Helicopter tour in Kauai? If yes, any recommendations on what provider
Our Kauai helicopter recommendation had the best safety record on the island but they had a crash last week. So, I’m afraid not.
We’re a family of five. That’s an expensive shuttle for Haena state park. Any suggestions for larger families?

Quick question. October 10-19 on Kauai fur the fam ( because it has best VRBOs ). North or South ?
You could do either. Rains usually don’t come till later on the north shore. They are both gorgeous! Splitting hairs
What is the name of the trail at 9:03
My wife and I are going in January!
Yes
I would like to know as well...😮
At 9:02, it was the Maha’ulepu Heritage Trail. At 9:03 it was the hike to secret falls off the Wailua River. Have a wonderful trip in January!

@@meathook2448 thank you
I agree about airfare prices. Almost 3x higher than what we usually pay. Hoping for a sale soon…
rental car prices have been going up too, and not due to demand or a lack of cars...
We jurt got two roundtrip tickets for $640 total ($320 a piece) from LAX, so not too bad. 🤷♀️
Make sure to try local foods? That's all you should eat.
