JuneThompson Posted January 2, 2012 #1 Share Posted January 2, 2012 We are on Pride of America and the only port we have left to find a tour in is Kauai. I know this is last minute, but with christmas and shopping and everything, time just flew by. Anyone have a suggestion for me for Kauai? Is there maybe a beach or something we can go to if we can't find a tour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Travelicious Posted January 3, 2012 #2 Share Posted January 3, 2012 If you rent a car, I would highly recommend either Poipu or Anini beach. They are completely different, but both beautiful. I'm going to spend a day at each on my next visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gentlemancruiser Posted January 5, 2012 #3 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Kauai is very beautiful island. We did a helicopter tour and it was one of the best things we've done. We used Sunshine Helicopters and they were excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GinaLondon Posted January 5, 2012 #4 Share Posted January 5, 2012 We did an island tour of Kauai and loved it. The island is really pretty and this was a nice tour to sit back, relax and enjoy the view. We saw a lot of the island as well as took a riverboat ride. We had considered a helicopter flight, but honestly it was so expensive and the flight so short, that we crossed it off our list. Not sure what your budget is, but i think we spent around $130 each for a 6 hour tour. If you like signtseeing, Kauai is a great place for it. we went on http://www.hawaiicruiseexcursions.com/KauaiIslandToursHawaii.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipmaster Posted January 6, 2012 #5 Share Posted January 6, 2012 My take of Kauai is rent a car and drive the Canyon and if you have enough time stop at blow hole, the coffee plantation and the canopy and on the way back stop by the falls, there are several closer to port. Or if you got deep pockets do a helicopter tour then the drive on the south side. All beaches there are good, but Kauai I don't think are standout to make it a point to visit.

gentlemancruiser Posted January 6, 2012 #6 Share Posted January 6, 2012 If you really want a beach experince there is one very famous beach on Kauai. You will need a car to get there. It's in Hanalei, and it is where the move South Pacific was filmed, many of the locations from the film are recognizeable. The Waimea Canyon is also a good spot to visit.

debster818 Posted January 6, 2012 #7 Share Posted January 6, 2012 We are looking for suggestions for our 2nd day in Kauai. We are there overnight till 2:00 (I think). Anything would be appreciated. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gentlemancruiser Posted January 7, 2012 #8 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Rent a car and drive up to Hanalei Bay, it is a very beautiful town and beach area that is great to explore. It will take about 45 minutes to drive there from the pier at Nawilwil. The beach has a nice swimming area and picnic tables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
