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.

Capt. Andy's Na Pali Sunset Dinner Cruise
An overview video of Capt. Andy's classic sailing adventure touring the Na Pali Coast. This trip was amazing, but also very rocky. It was great seeing this side of the island, and I would totally recommend taking on this tour.

Anahola on Kauai is the gem of Hawaii but OK there are a lot of natural treasures here - just don't tell anyone about this secret beach as most people don't know about it.
Any questions ask me.

KAUAI AS WHY 07.16
SUMMER ESCAPE TO KAUAI
KickYoFace+Wawaleigh.
Featuring: Mt. Waialeale is the second wettest spot on earth. The Tree Tunnel is a beautiful canopy of Eucalyptus trees and creates a natural gateway to Kauai’s South Shore. Queens Bath is a unique tide pool that was used for what it sounds like; it was a royal bathing place to wash off the stress located in the luxury community of Princeville. The Na Pali Coast, provided by Kauai Sea Riders brings you to the famous coastline that is truly majestic, featuring emerald green pinnacles and open sea caves towering along the shoreline. Red Dirt WaterFall located in Waimea Canyon also called The Grand Canyon of the Pacific provides panoramic views of the colorful valley. Take a heart-skipping stroll across the Hanapepe swinging bridge. Mountain Tubing by Backcountry Adventures runs through some of the most beautiful and remote land on the island. Wailua Falls is a double-tiered waterfall and if you're lucky, the sun will be at the right angle, and you'll get a beautiful rainbow extending out from the base of the falls in the mist. Spouting Horns Blowhole in Poipu. And last, we were able to attend the The Pacific Missile Range Facility Barking Sands Stars & Stripes Freedom Celebration featuring Local Band known as Rebel Souljahz (FREE) concert standing on the beach under an Arched Rainbow above us. ALOHA!

Dolphins on Kauai's Napali Coast - Filmed aboard Makana Charters
Kauai's spectacular Napali Coast is more than just stunning scenery. It is also home to diverse marine life all around in the waters beneath our boats. In this video, we see two different types of dolphins : The well-known Bottlenose Dolphins, and the Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins.
While we do not guarantee dolphin sightings on our trip due to the fact that these are unpredictable wild animals, we can say that a large majority of our trips usually have at least one sighting of a dolphin pod.

Spectacular Oceanfront Vacation Rental at Tunnels Beach on the Island of Kauai!
This beautiful home, called Kahelelani is located in Haena about ten minutes from Hanalei. Kahelelani in Hawaiian means Pathway to Heaven, and certainly the minute you arrive you will feel like you are on your way there.
Kahelelani has three bedrooms and three baths plus an open loft style sleeping area with 2 queen beds. The home can sleep up to 12 people. The open floor plan lends itself to family gatherings around the counter bar or perhaps enjoying dinner on the lanai as the sun sets over the ocean.
The interior has high ceilings that are accentuated by beautiful native hardwoods. There are three bedrooms on the main level with a spacious loft upstairs area that can serve as a fourth bedroom complete with its own full bath.
Kahelelani is equipped with all the amenities you would expect including an outdoor shower and a hot tub right on the beach. Imagine relaxing in the hot tub under the stars with the ocean waves crashing around you.
If you want to stay in an affordable beachfront home far away from the crowds of the south shore, come and experience Kahelelani....

Captain Andy's Catamaran-Dolphins-The Best Views of Kauai-Westin VS. St. Regis-Cousin Chronicles
This video is about Captain Andy's Catamaran-Dolphins-The Best Views of Kauai-Cousin Chronicles. Captain Andy's was awesome! The food was amazing thy offerered unlimited drinks both alcoholic and non alcoholic. The staff was super helpful and the views were breath taking. This was definately a great way to get some good view of the isalnd! Westin Vs St. Regis. Both hotels were amazing! For families I would probably always choose the westin because they have a full kitchen, multiple bed rooms, and all the comforts of home! The St. Regis has the BEST views I have ever seen and I love they have the extra little touches like the slippers and the multiple room cleanings!
