Hula Planet:What To Do In Hawaii

After we dined at all those great Kauai restaurants on this recent trip , we really needed to burn off some of the calories. Fortunately, Kauai is loaded with excellent activities that were fun, educational, relaxing, and adventurous. Here are the activities that tried and enjoyed on this trip. Na Pali Coast Sail Tour – We took Captain Andy’s Na Pali Snorkel Adventure which was excellent despite the fact that the conditions didn’t allow us to snorkel. The scenery of this coast line is simply amazing. Our boat captain was Captain Trent and he was hilarious and entertaining. We’ve taken a lot of boating tours in Hawaii, and Captain Trent was the best. So, if you go, ask for him. Watch for a full review of this tour. Hiking – We decided to hike the first two miles of the Kalalau Trail along the Na Pali coast. This was our second time attempting it. Oh boy, it is a challenge! We were there on a particularly muddy day which made it much more difficult. Unlike the last time , we were a little more prepared by eating a nutritious breakfast and we brought a picnic. Biking – We rented bikes from Kauai Outfitters and biked along part of the Koloa Heritage Trail . You can drive to the trail points if biking the entire 10 miles seems a bit too daunting.

We took this tour with Kayak Kauai and they were excellent. Watch for a full review in the future.
