Kauai is known for its Napali coast - it is unlike any other Hawaiian island. I highly recommend doing a couple of activities to see the iconic mountains, but one of our favorite was seeing it by sea! The views were amazing and we were able to get pretty close to the coast, seeing the mountains from a very unique angle!

The consistent theme throughout this page will be all the various ways you can explore the world-famous Napali coast! We decided to take an hour plane ride over the island, which took us very close to a few of the iconic waterfalls from the movie Jurassic park! I highly recommend this as a half-day activity :) You can also do a helicopter ride, which is arguably more popular, but definitely pricey! I think both would be wonderful choices

Our favorite day on the trip was our excursion with Holo Holo Charters from Kauai. We absolutely loved the entire day. To start, all of the guides were very friendly and attentive, ensuring that everyone on board was safe and enjoying themselves. We took an ~1.5 hr catamaran ride over to a snorkel spot on the Napali coast. We were then docked on the Napali coast, allowing everyone to get in the water and explore! The entire time, food and beverages were available (alcoholic and non-alcoholic). I cannot say better things about this tour and if you take one of my recommendations, let it be this one!

Let’s be honest. Many of us go to Hawaii, or any tropical location, to relax and enjoy the scenery. In my opinion, there is no better way to do this than to take a sunset stroll on the beach!! Or sunrise, if you are an early bird, though that is not me on vacation LOL

If I have reached my target audience, a few of you (I hope) must be fans of the hot girl walk. It is such a great way to get outside and explore the area that you are visiting! Bonus - in Kauai, the trees are stunning! I loved our morning walks and highly recommend if you want to get your day started with a little sweat :)

If you haven’t gotten the memo yet, the Napali coast is incredible and is the main reason we chose to go to Kauai over the other Hawaiian islands for our most recent trip. There are tons of different hiking trials of various length and difficultly across the mountain range. We only had time to do one hike, but I would LOVE to go back and do them all
