  • If you’re like me you often hear that Kauai is the best of the Hawaiian Islands-the must see island. And that it takes a full week or more really do it justice. But if you don’t have that kind of time, you can see most of the highlights in just three days, and I’ll show you how I did just that. I'll show you here I stayed, ate, hiked, drove, kayaked, sailed and what I love most about this spectacular, easy to navigate, friendly Hawaiian Isle.
    This video is specific, detailing my three-day itinerary. It's intended to give you an idea of how much you can see in do in just a few days on Kauai. I am not paid to endorse or promote any of the companies I recommend in this video. I had good experiences with them. But that doesn’t guarantee you will. Guides, meals and weather conditions vary. Do your research. Read reviews. And then don’t second guess your decisions. In paradise there’s no time for that.
    If you find it helpful, subscribe to my channel, Newsocracy. You’ll find other Hawaii videos there, including Pearl Harbor, Surfing 101, Zip Lining Maui and many more.
    As always, apologies for any mispronounced Hawaiian words. It’s a beautiful language, I wish I spoke it better. I’m Jim Albritton, mahalo for watching.

    I would recommend a boat tour of the Na Pali coast departing from the North shore instead of the South shore. When you depart from the South shore you see a lot of coastline that is NOT the Na Pali coast while on your way to see what you paid for. Boat tours from the South shore often don't get to reach the northernmost regions of the Na Pali coast before they have to turn around. If you depart from the north you see it all.

    I was born and raised on Kauai. Went to St. Catherine's in Kapaa, then Kauai High School. I - and my family - have gone back quite a few times, first to visit family, and as we grew older we just stayed at a condo in Princeville. Two of my aunts lived across the road from Hanalei Beach, near the pier , so we spent many summers there staying with them for a couple of weeks.
    I really enjoyed the video and wanted to express my thanks. My daughter and her family are going to Princeville later this year.

    Very nice coverage of what you were able to see in just 3 days. We have been 3 years in a row for 10 days each, and still feel like there is a lot to see!! The only thing I would have for SURE done differently was your sunset on the beach. To miss the sea turtles at Brennecke Beach is a huge mistake!!! Thank you for sharing.

      I'm the opposite of the turtle whisperer. I've never seen them anywhere I've gone to look, including Turtle Bay Resort. In the video, the snorkeling portion of the Napali tour, they were said to be there. I saw nothing. Oddly, very large fresh water turtles do somehow get through an iron fence and into my pool at home.
      I have to be on a beach at sunset at least once. I wish I'd been there all three days. Thanks for watching!

    Thank you for this video... Its so informative, well organized and well narratated. Ive watched many, but most from young, active individuals with lots of hiking...we are not so young anymore, so I was doubting there would be much for us to do...your experiences fit out expectations. Please can you add a link on your airbnb or some in the surrounding area, it fits our bill. Thank you again.

    • @newsocracy

      Thanks Aimee! So glad it is helpful. Like you I'm less interested in beautiful young people running on beaches in slow motion than actual ideas and details that help me plan my trip. Here's the airbnb link: www.airbnb.com/rooms/23541588?guests=1&adults=1&s=67&unique_share_id=66055398-9bc0-4cbd-812a-5e5ac6d07e62. The host has two places there and there are several other hosts renting in that complex. I've been to Hawaii many times, but this was my first time to Kauai. You won't be disappointed. Very easy to get around and I don't think anything I did would qualify as "hiking."
