Kauai offers many activities and there is something for everyone here. You are able to explore the natural beauty of this “Garden Isle” with several activities. Visitors are encouraged to check around for favorite local activities and events. Please don’t just rely on hotel and tourist staff to suggest things to do.
The Aloha spirit of friendliness and openness to strangers makes it easy to ask the locals what they recommend. It is simple and very inexpensive to engage in almost any activity on the beach. Rental shops for snorkeling, diving, kayaking, surfing, and windsurfing equipment are everywhere. All large resort hotels offer snorkeling and other equipment on site.
Do not dismiss guided tours. There is much of Kauai that you simply cannot discover on your own in a short period of time, no matter how adventurous you are. There are many local companies that do an excellent job of personal attention without that feeling of a big tour group. Many tours have limited group sizes and the guides are friendly and very knowledgeable.
Many of the more popular activities and the smaller tours can book up weeks in advance so it is a good idea to schedule and book a few things prior to your arrival.
