When you’re overdue for a great getaway and Kauai is top of mind, hitting the skies in pursuit of an island adventure is priority number one. That said, having a plan in place for making the most of your time on the island is only to your benefit! The following are a few things to consider before putting your Kauai vacation plans into motion.
Give Yourself at Least a Week to Explore
Kauai is a breathtaking island known and loved for its sprawling canyons and vast mountains paired with stunning beaches and impossibly blue waves. It’s also home to a variety of amazing museums, historical stops, eateries, tour options and more. That means that when you’re planning your Kauai vacation, you’re going to want to give yourself a least a week minimum to enjoy it all. There’s no reason to rush yourself when an island getaway is the goal. To that end, plan to enjoy anywhere from 7 to 10 days at the least in order to make the most of every well-deserved moment you have available.
Rent a Car to Get Around
Kauai may not look vast on a map, but upon arrival, it doesn’t take long to realize just how beneficial it is to have a rental car available to get around. Many of the landmarks, beaches, and destinations you’ll want to take time to explore aren’t necessarily close to one another. Renting a car in advance provides peace of mind knowing you’ll be able to access those places you’re excited to discover and can do so on your own timeline when planning a trip to Kauai.
Bring Your Hiking Boots
Compared to the rest of the Hawaiian Islands, Kauai hosts the most hiking opportunities around. That means that you’ll definitely want to pack those hiking boots when you’re headed this way. From beach trails to routes that take you up towards mountain tops, the hiking on Kauai is one-of-a-kind and definitely not to be missed out on while you’re here!
Make Time to Visit All Three Areas of the Island
It’s easy to think of Kauai as a singular destination but in reality, it’s broken up into three distinct sections. To make the most of your journey, you’re going to want to plan time to visit them all. The North, East, and South shores of the island all host their own ambiance and even weather patterns. Planning time to enjoy each and packing the corresponding weather-appropriate apparel to match promises to make your experience that much more enjoyable.
