Kauai
Content: Kauai is one of the most beautiful places on earth. We have never seen a more Neverland/fiaryland/Peter Pan island ever in our lives like this. If you are going to Kauai don’t go for the food, entertainment, or night life, go ready to hike, explore, and get dirty! The hiking, boating, and natural free experiences you can find here are endless if you have the courage. In this travel guide we suggest our favorite hikes, Na Pali boat experience, and lodging ideas.

Day 1 - 9 May 2022
Waimea Canyon State Park
Content: 1. Drive around Waimea Canyon The Waimea Canyon is incredible and has SO many hikes and view points.It is an extremly long road and I suggest to go ALL the way up it to the top! ALSO, I suggest you not pay for the view points that are there but go find your own view points nd hidden hikes/paths.
Location: Hanalei
Day 1 - 9 May 2022
The Dolphin Restaurant
Content: This popular seafood stop is known locally for the freshest cuts of seafood and its nostalgic riverside ambiance. This world class sushi lounge has a large variety of delicious seafood. I suggest going at sunset for an amazing view!
Hanalei Colony Resort
Content: Hotel lodging: Hanalei Colony Resort- This lodging was incredible, we also highly suggest if you are a content creator to ask for a promotional/content creation discount. This hotel is run by a traditional crowd that want to get more into Instagram marketing and will give discounts off there most amazing waterfront rooms if you create content and marketing ads for them. (We got 75% off the nicest room in the Resort because of our content creation during the trip.) We also suggest renting our a camper style van to explore Kauai. We rented our van off of Facebook marketplace. Some days you will be driving all day to get to parts of the island so it is nice to have a big area to nap/eat/relax in while the other person drives.

Nā Pali Coast State Wilderness Park
Content: 2. Na Pali Coast Boat Tour with Blue Ocean Adventures THIS is one of my favorite things I have ever done in my life! The Na Pali Coast is incredible to hike around, helicopter and BOAT around. Going through the tunnels and swimming around the iconic heavenly view is a once in a life time experience. I suggest Blue Ocean adventures because theywere so fun and it was great to get up close and in the tunnels and caves!

Day 4 - 12 May 2022
Polihale State Park
Content: Polihale state park is a beach on the Western side of Kauai. It has a lot less foot traffic than the other beaches on the island, so if you’re looking to be more isolated this beach is for you! The downside is that the waters have strong rip currents, so the public isn’t allowed to swim there. But the large sand dunes on the beach can reach up to 100 feet high, which create amazing viewpoints!
Location: Princeville
Day 4 - 12 May 2022
Puu Poa Beach
Content: Located just North of Hanalei Bay Resort are the two beaches called Puu Poa. Theres an offshore reef just past the water, so these beaches are generally safe to swim and snorkel during the Summer. During the Winter, the water turns into some of the best surf rides that Hawaii has to offer!

Hanalei Bay
Content: 5. Hanalei, Princeville, Kapa’a, and North Shore towns Hanalei is a small town on the North Shore. Hanalei, Princeville, and Poipu town have great shopping & restaurants. I suggest going to the Chinese Market. Explore around this area! We suggest staying here as well and love Hanalei Conoly Resort and Cliffs at Princeville! @hanaleicolonyresort
Wailua Falls
Content: This 80 foot drop looks more like 200! The locals say that the rainfall dramatically effects the size and appearance of the falls from further up the mountain, but it hadn’t rained that day and I can still say the falls were enormous! The falls are a step off the beaten path and are located at the end of the Wailua River.
