Mickael Marsali shares a presentation discussing the top 4 things to do in Kauai.

1. Top 4 Things To Do In Kauai

2. The oldest island in the Hawaiian
chain, Kauai is a beautiful vacation
destination with luxurious beaches
and breathtaking sunsets. If you’re
looking for a destination with more
natural beauty than showy tourist
attractions, Kauai is the place for
you.

3. Outdoor enthusiasts from all
around the country and the world
head to Kauai for once-in-a-
lifetime experiences. Whether
you’re looking to swim, hike, kayak
or relax on the beach, Kauai has
something for you. Here are some
of the best things to do in Kauai:

4. Na Pali Coast

5. Kauai may be a pricey destination,
but the beautiful views you get
when you’re hiking the Na Pali
Coast are priceless. This 15-mile
expanse of steep, rocky coastline is
so beautiful that a trip to Kauai is
incomplete without visiting it.

6. While the Na Pali Coast is a
beautiful hike, it’s also very
strenuous and should only be
attempted by experienced hikers.
If you choose to view the coast by
renting a kayak or catamaran,
expect to have to navigate the often
rough waves of the north shore.

7. A helicopter tour is most likely the
best way to view Na Pali, though it
is pricey. If you drive to the end of
route 550, you can get a wonderful
view of Na Pali’s cliffs.

8. Kalapaki
Beach

9. If you’re a traveler who prefers to
go off the beaten path, head to
Kalapaki Beach. This beautiful
beach is often overlooked by a lot of
tourists. Because of its hospitable
tides, Kalapaki Beach attracts a lot
of local surfers.

10. If surfing isn’t your thing, you can
take a swim at Nawiliwili Bay,
where the beach is sheltered by
points and breakwaters. There is
also the option to rent a kayak or
sailboat, or even to take a
catamaran cruise.

11. Waimea
Canyon and
Koke’e State
Park

12. If you visit Kauai, you need to visit
Waimea Canyon and Koke’e State
Park. Often called the “Grand
Canyon of the Pacific”, this deep
gorge is 10 miles long, one mile wide
and about 3,5000 feet deep.

13. Whether you want to hike down
one of the trails or drive through
the canyon and make a few lookout
stops, there are many ways to
experience this stunning canyon.
Make sure to go on a clear day so
that you can see the canyon’s
vibrant colors and get maximum
visibility.

14. Kalalau Trail

15. The Kalalau Trail is truly a life-
changing experience, but it’s not
for beginners. This 11-mile hike will
take you through rocky inclines,
red mud and raging streams. If
you’re an experienced hiker who
has the endurance to make it
through, you should definitely hike
this trail.

16. The paths are challenging and the
scenery is rugged, but once you’ve
completed the trail you will have a
sense of accomplishment. Just
make sure to wear some sturdy
hiking boots and some clothes you
don’t mind getting dirty.

17. If you’re an adventurous traveler,
Kauai is the ideal travel destination
for you. A trip to Kauai is bound to
provide you with exhilarating
experiences that you won’t soon
forget.
