Exploring KAUAI, HAWAII in 4 DAYS! A NEW Travel Itinerary Challenge Series
In the second video as part of our Travel Itinerary Challenge series, we explore Kauai, Hawaii in 4 days and try our best to eat, see, and do as many things as possible based on a prepared itinerary list!
~~~~~~
If this is your first time viewing our videos, welcome and thank you! For some background about this series:
For our first ever visit to the State of Hawaii, we embarked on a 4-island hopping adventure! After visiting Oahu, we spent 4 days exploring Kauai, also known as the Garden Island.
( In cased you missed the Oahu Itinerary Challenge video, check it out here )
With this trip to Hawaii, we wanted to chronicle our adventures visiting 4 different islands in a new Travel Itinerary Challenge Series to share our experience doing, eating, and seeing a number of attractions in a set amount of time.
In our years traveling together, we found our travel style involves cramming as many things into an itinerary as our body can handle. We plan a rough itinerary or list of things we want to do, see, and eat at our destination.
Below is the original itinerary we set out to complete. In our Itinerary Challenge Series, we will see how close we get to checking off each item on our list.

Kauai Travel Tips: 9 Things to Know Before You Go
Things you NEED to know BEFORE you travel to Kauai Hawaii. Kauai is the oldest and smallest of the four main the Hawaiian Islands. It has a population of just 70,000 people. Elevation ranges from sea level to just over 5,000 feet. Kauai is home to the world's wettest location, Waialeale, which receives over 450 inches of rain annually - that's almost 40 feet! All that rain means lots of waterfalls
Only three percent of Kauai has been developed. It’s called the “Garden Isle” but it’s very country. You won’t find big cities or a lot of people on Kauai. You’ll find plenty of lush jungly wilderness to be explored though (we’re talking scenes straight out of Jurassic Park).
Lots of microclimates: You can go from the wettest place on Earth to a near-desert in 20 minutes
And a TON of chickens. There are more wild chickens on Kauai than any other Hawaiian Island largely thanks to “Iniki,” a category 5 hurricane, which hit the island in 1992.
The north shore is the lushest and prettiest of the island. It’s also the rainiest. (Princeville)
South side is the sunniest with good swimmable beaches, (Poipu)
East Shore has the Airport (Lihue)
West Shore relatively Un Developed (Na Pali Coast)
2 - Weather:
Temperatures range from the lower 50's in Kokee State Park to the upper 80's along the South shore. Kauai is considered to be semi-tropical and is home to a variety of micro-climates depending on your location around the island. In some places you'll need a light jacket, while in others a bathing suit is more than enough. It is also very common to be in rain one minute on Kauai, and in full sun the next.
Quite Windy -- 15-25 MPH Winds
3- Beaches:
Many of Kauai’s beaches aren’t swimmable.
dangerous currents, rip tides, and hammering surf.
conditions everywhere will be calmer in the summer months
On the north shore, big surf in winter but is calm in summer
Hanalei Bay -- 2 mile crescent bay (good in summer)
On the east coast, there’s a nice lagoon at Lydgate beach.
Kalapaki beach in Lihue - nice local beach
South Shore swimming is good at Poipu beach
South Shore gets its waves in summer
4- Hotels:
Everything is more expensive in the resort areas.
St Regis Princeville (swankiest resort area)
Grand Hyatt and Sheraton in Poipu
Marriott by the Airport in Lihue
5- Transportation:
Get a rental car -- it’ll probably be banged up
You’ll find the cheapest gas in Lihue/Kapa’a.
It can take forever to get around.
One road around the island (almost)
2-3 hours from one end to the other
Be aware of driving times when planning outings.
congestion around Lihue and Kapa’a during morning and evening commute times.
One lane bridge (North Shore): The local custom is to let 5-7 cars go at a time.
6- Shopping:
Costco in Lihue near the airport as well as a Safeway grocery store chain.
And if you need a pharmacy/drug store, that would be Longs
4 ABC Stores
7- Food:
Casual Attire is OK pretty much anywhere. Shorts and flip-flips are where it’s at. If you want to be really dressy, an Aloha shirt and Khakis.
Lots of places are just “take out” -- eat picnic style
Many places are breakfast and lunch only and close at 1:30 or 3pm.
The big resorts have fancy restaurants, and prices to go along with it
Duke’s restaurant at Kalapaki -- get the famous Hula Pie!
Eat where the locals eat, plate lunches, Asian Food
8- Big Attractions
9 - Hiking:
Pack water shoes for hiking. Many of the trails on Kauai are muddy or will require you to cross streams. It’s much easier if you do not have to worry about keeping your hiking boots clean and dry. Bring a map.

Waimea Canyon (Hawai) Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about destination Waimea Canyon in Hawaii.
Waimea Canyon is located on Kauai, the fourth largest island in the Hawaiian Archipelago.The scant canyon landscape is in stark contrast to the dense, tropical rainforests and remarkable variety of plants in the southern part of the island. Due to the spectacular canyon and its immense dimensions this wonderful region was named, 'The Grand Canyon Of The Pacific'.In spite of the desolate landscape, the red earth and rock gives much of the island a warm and captivating ambience. The timeless beauty of the volcanic landscape and the constantly changing colours of the terrain are an intriguing sight. However, Waimea Canyon is not only famous for its beautiful rocks and deep canyons, numerous waterfalls are also part of its appeal.The picturesque Waimea Road travels toward the interior of the island to the most outstanding vantage points as well as to fascinating walking routes such as the Kukui Trail. The steep road and its narrow curves lead to a special attraction, the outstanding and more than one thousand metre high Waimea Canyon Lookout. Waimea Canyon is unique and unspoiled, a true natural wonder and also a precious treasure that reveals the geological history of the splendid island of Kauai.
