    When I went ot Kauai, I got a hotel on the east side, to be more “central” to the north and south. But the current was strong there, pushing you down the coast. I did a Napali coast boat tour, going into the sea caves was amazing and a turtle was checking me out while snorkeling. Also, did a helicopter tour around the island - although pricey, it was absolutely amazing! Did a hike to the top of the cliffs on the Napali coast, which has spectacular views.

  • @grailing5031
    @grailing5031 3 місяці тому +7

    After 7 trips to Kauai I would highly recommend staying on the north shore. 10x as beautiful. They also have a Napali tour that leaves from hanalei. You’ll have to make one long drive your whole trip and that’s to go to Waimea

    Went there this February for 1 yr wedding anniversary. It's such a tropical lush island. Everyone is so friendly. So many vegan options too!! Took the tubing, allerton garden tour & much more thanks to your videos 🙌 saw the monk seal, turtles, pigs, & whales just by walking around. & 🐓 all over the place❤

    A major do is stay in poipu or Kapaa area as they’re pretty accessible to anywhere. 2 major don’ts are don’t rent a car from budget there, beyond terrible. The other is don’t cross the road assuming drivers are gonna stop when they’re supposed to, I’ve seen people get hit.

    Kayak Kauai is highly recommended for a great experience. Also, the first two miles of the NaPali Coast Trail to Hanakapi'ai Beach is a great hike and a beautiful beach to explore but do not swim there. Reservations are required from the DLNR or take the shuttle as was suggested (I haven't tried that yet). My favorite farmers market is at Kauai Community College, Saturdays, 9:30am - 1pm.

    Thanks for all your great videos, Jordan and Erica!! We are currently here on Kauai, on this Good Friday, and have done a lot of your recommendations! One thing we’ve also done is the free Hula Show at Coconut Marketplace! (On Thursday at noon) They did an excellent job of singing, the hula girls and even a flame thrower and it was free!! (Enjoyed Jo Jo’s Shave Ice, which you recommended too😊)

I want to do a series of UA-cam videos on our 14 day trip through the Panama Canal. I have an iPhone 13. I have UA-cam wireless microphones made by Lonzie.
