Cruising Kauai

Kauai, Hawaii

-Also known as the Garden Isle of the Hawaiian archipelago, for it is covered in lush tropics.

 

The island of Kuaui is very small and crazy beautiful, with only one main road.  Yet, this tiny island has a ton of things to see and do, besides just relaxing and taking in the splendor.

Some people may be completely satisfied lying on the beach every day.  But my Brother and I decided we wanted to do something a little adventurous. Luckily, there was a moped rental right across from our hotel.  They were great though, it rained off and on the first day we had them so they let us keep them one more day at no extra charge.

While renting the mopeds my grandmother asked my brother and I if we wanted a gps, we both died of laughter while saying no. There is literally no possible way we were going to get lost. Again there is only one main road with the occasional side roads.  Off we went, cruising Kuaui.

 

 

Riding around this beautiful place with the smell of ocean everywhere, I found my feeling of freedom. We took many side roads, and rode the entire day.  We did manage to get lost.  But it was okay.  The scenery gave me all the feels, seeing things such as Wailua falls, and the mountain known as the sleeping giant.

I find it difficult to put the beauty of this island into words.

Good thing I took pictures to speak them for me.

Getting to Kuaui

There is an airport in Lihue, and many west coast cities now have direct flights to the island.  Check Hawaiian Airlines, Alaska Airlines, or United, for flights from anywhere along the western US.  You can find and book flights for any of these through our Skyscanner link in the footer of this article!

If a direct flight matching your schedule or price range is not available, you can fly into Oahu or Maui and get a shuttle flight to Lihue.  The prices will vary with the seasons.

Staying in Kauai

There are resorts in several locations that are popular with visitors.  We were very happy with our stay at  Banyan Harbor Resort in Lihue.
