Kauai

Pros: the best places take a little work to get to, but payoff is usually great
Cons: need to dodge the more obvious tourist traps

Despite development, a lush wonderful place - this first time visitor found HER Kauai in the little things of everyday exploration. My husband and I traveled here in August, and we have different travel experience goals - he's a "macro" person - loves ...

Pros: some beautiful places
Cons: expensive

We visited Kauai in May 2003. I was lured by images from Spielberg's Jurassic Park. The beauty seen in the movie is easily witnessed throughout the island, but the actual movie sites are difficult if not illegal to reach. We did drive to the site of...

Pros: The music just added that extra touch.
Cons: Not one!

You just have to save your money and take a helicopter ride on the Garden Island. As the ad for Will Squyers Helicopter tours states, "See Kaua'i On A Higher Level".

The first thing you notice is the native Hawaiian pilot doesn't wear shoes...

Pros: Beautiful, Relaxing, Slower Paced, Nice Beaches, Awesome Shave Ice
Cons: Some beaches too dangerous to swim

I was in Kauai last month(March) and it was one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. Everything was so green, the flowers are so bright and colourful and the water is the bluest of blue. There are roaring waterfalls to see especially during the...

Pros: Beautiful lay-out, well-designed, friendly service
Cons: A bit pricey

My favourite hotel on Kauai without any doubt is the Hyatt Regency on Shipwreck Beach near Poipu. As one of the more upmarket resorts on the island, the Hyatt hotel is designed like a plantation or resort built in the thirties or forties. Not higher...

Pros: Best place on the island!
Cons: Geckos are all over the hallways! But it IS kind of cool though ;)

I traveled to the Island of Kauai last spring and had a blast! The entire trip was fun, encluding all of the time at the hotel, which most find boring. I stayed at the Kauai Beach/Outrigger Hotel on the western side of Kauai.
This hotel features 3...

Pros: Spectacular Beauty
Cons: None

We took a non-stop United Airlines flight from Los Angeles to Lihu'e Airport on Kaua'i. You have to rent a car to get around this beautiful island that is less commercialized and not as developed than some of the others. As you drive around you will...

Pros: Lots of fish, water often calm and warm
Cons: Rocky bottom - wear fins or aqua socks

I've been to Kauai twice, for 10 days the first time and 15 days the second time. This gave me plenty of time to explore most of the beaches on all corners of the island. The BEST beach to snorkel on really depends on the time of year, and on the...

Pros: Best vacation you'll ever have
Cons: Plane rides always suck...especially if you're traveling late at night (nothing is open in the airports)

First off, let me tell you, Kauai is the best vacation place I have ever been to! My entire trip was fun (well...maybe not the planes and 6 hour layovers at midnight) but other than that,...

Pros: Waterfalls & Roy's Poipu Bar & Grill
Cons: Narrow roads, everything closes early

Kauai was fantastic! Beautiful waterfalls, adventurous nature/jungle hikes & free off-the-beach snorkeling were the most wonderful parts of the island. My wife & I went on a week long vacation to Kauai Island in May. We stayed at the Kauai...

Pros: beautiful, not too touristy
Cons: could be too relaxing

Now, this is in no way meant to brag, but I have been going to Hawaii almost every year of my life. I have visited the islands of Maui, Oahu, Hawaii, and Kauai. Kauai is, by far, my favorite island. It is the only place I where would actually consider...

Pros: wonderful scenery, not too built up
Cons: not great for kids

We visited several Hawaiian Island during our Honeymoon and I can honestly say that Kauai was my very favorite. It is by far the most romantic, quiet, laid back island, with the exception of Lanai that still offers an abundance of great sightseeing and...

Pros: nature
Cons: not that much to do

Kauai has many beautiful aspects, the northern shore beaches are full of beauty, the spontanteous waterfalls, rivers and mountains. It was unfortunate that the Na Pali Coast wasn't easily accessible and most of the movie sites were mainly accessible by...

Pros: nice views
Cons: long drive from the North, no good restaurants

After having explored the North and East coasts of the island in depth, I decided it was time to head to the West. At the time, I...

Pros: Absolutely beautiful, and lots to do!
Cons: Flawless

For spring break my family, a friend and I, went to Kauai for 1 week. It was perhaps the best vacation ever. Along with everything to do, it is the most beautiful location ever!

On the northern side of the island, Hanalei Bay, we were on...
