Кауаи

Како аудио водичи пуштају коментаре на основу ваше ГПС локације, можете креирати сопствени итинерар дуж руте(а) обиласка како би одговарао вашим интересовањима и распореду. Или можете користити наше планере путовања за наше предлоге полудневних, целодневних или вишедневних рута. Неки од многих најважнијих догађаја наведени су у наставку;

Државни парк Ха'ена

Државни парк Ха'ена је у суштини крај пута док се возите око северне обале Кауаија. Три најпопуларније ствари које треба видети и урадити на крају аутопута Кухио је да посетите плажу Ке'е, или плажу Тунелс која се такође назива Ха'ена Беацх Парк, и да прошетате стазом Калалау. Ово је такође стаза за ноћне планинаре и кампере који се крећу ка обали На Пали. Због изузетно ограничене доступности паркинга, морате или резервисати паркинг место или користити услугу превоза да бисте приступили парку.

3

Плажа Анини

Између Капа'а и Принцевиллеа постоји неколико одличних плажа за истраживање, а плажа Анини је једна од најбољих, са пешчаном обалом и вода је скоро увек мирна. Постоје сеновито дрвеће које ће вам помоћи да уживате и у дужем дану на плажи.

4

Ханалеи Баи

Ханалеи је благи залив у облику полумесеца са плажом дугом скоро две миље, окружен бујним планинама и фармама тароа. Одлично и безбедно место за пливање.

5

Ханапепе

Шармантан град испуњен очуваним историјским зградама у стилу плантажа и снажном заједницом уметника. Једно од најбољих места за преузимање локалног сувенира је из уметничких галерија и продавница са накитом од шкољки Ниихау. Или прошетајте преко моста Хапапепе.

6

Ханалеи

Град има опуштену атмосферу сурфера са модерним кафићима и продавницама. Пожелећете да фотографишете пристаниште на главној плажи са кишом извајаним лицем Намолокаме у позадини.

7

Кеалиа Беацх

Дуж стазе и северно од Капа'е налази се плажа Кеалиа, која је добра за купање у заштићеним подручјима, све док сурф није превише груб. Али ово такође може бити добра плажа за посматрање сурфера ако је оток крупан. Или се препустите опуштању и пронађите сеновито дрво са погледом на плажу Капа'а да бисте одспали!

8

Капаа

Капа'а је отприлике најживљи град на источној страни Кауаија. Постоји много места на којима можете уживати у оброку или аутентичној хавајској ужини и лутати продавницама, или нашим омиљеним - узмите лед за бријање. Ако се осећате мало енергичније - изнајмите бицикл и возите се вишенаменском стазом Кауаи која покрива 8 миља обале и није нимало напорна.

9

Килауеа Поинт Натионал Вилдлифе Рефуге

Светионик Килауеа је такође уточиште за дивље животиње и видећете низ морских птица у том подручју. Уточиште и Светионик су затворени недељом и понедељком, али и даље можете уживати у погледу чак и ако немате приступ главним садржајима. Резервације су сада потребне за посету националном резервату за дивље животиње Килауеа Поинт, где се налази светионик Килауеа.

10

Државни парк Коке'е

Продужите вожњу изван кањона Ваимеа да бисте ушли у државни парк Коке'е и завршили путовање до краја пута. Видиковац Калалау је најпознатији, а ако су облаци љубазни, имаћете изванредан поглед све низ сликовиту долину На Пали до океана. Последњи видиковац је Пу'у О Кила, и такође има величанствен поглед, иако нуди различите аспекте. Природни музеј Коке'е је мали рустикални објекат који чува благо из региона и такође приказује природно окружење. Вреди заустављања и грицкалице доступне овде.

11

Поипу Беацх Парк

Различите културе широм света називају их „морским псима“, а хавајски превод лабаво одражава то за домаће хавајске фоке монахе. Кауаи је најбоље од острва да их видите. Плажа Поипу и увале дуж северне обале у близини места као што су тунели су уобичајена места за њихово уочавање. Фоке се вуку на плажу да се одморе након храњења и да избегну предаторе у води. Као заштићеној и угроженој врсти важно је да им дате простор и да поштују све ознаке.

12

Државни парк На Пали Цоаст

Неки од најспектакуларнијих пејзажа почињу на крају пута на северозападном крају острва у државном парку дивљине На Пали Цоаст. Не можете возити на обалу На Пали, али јој се може приступити изазовним планинарењем, вожњом кајаком или разгледањем одозго уз хеликоптерске туре. Напомена: Ако улазите преко државног парка Ха'ена на аутопуту Кухио (после Принсвила), имајте на уму да се сада морају резервисати унапред за ограничене паркинг тезге, шатлове за дневне посетиоце и ноћне планинаре.

13

Поипу

Поипу је најпопуларније одмаралиште на јужној обали Кауаија, делом зато што његова локација избегава већину влажног времена које ствара острво. Али такође, постоје три најбоље пешчане плаже на острву једна поред друге: плажа Киахуна, плажа Поипу Беацх и плажа Схипврецкс. Попните се на рт Макахуена Поинт за поглед. Или наставите ка западу дуж плажа до пробушеног рога. Поипу такође има одличне могућности за ручавање и куповину.

14

Принцевилле

Принцевилле је највеће одмаралиште на северној обали Кауаија и налази се на рту са погледом на залив Ханалеи. У њему се налазе неки од најбољих хотелских објеката у региону, ресторани и голф. Плажа Хидеавеј је лепа мала увала за истраживање, али стаза је стрма и незгодна, и будите веома опрезни са условима океана. Принцевилле делује као база за истраживање остатка северне обале.

15

Лихуе

Најисторијска област и центар комерцијалних активности Кауаија су Лихуе и Навиливили. Ово су сјајна места за доживљај аутентичне хавајске историје и неке јединствене кауајске хране. Испред Марриотт-а налази се мирна јавна плажа Калапаки погодна за породице. Пратите обилазак и наставите поред терминала за крстарење да бисте посетили рибњак Менехуне, који су изградили легендарни древни Хавајци.

16

Ваилуа Фаллс

Смештен на само 10 минута вожње од срца Лихуе је најпрепознатљивији водопад у Кауаију. Два тока воде драматично падају преко пада од 80 стопа. Нема потребе за пешачењем, најбољи поглед је директно са паркинга. Савет за фотографије: Дођите рано ујутру да бисте ухватили дуге које сијају из магле водопада.

17

Споутинг Хорн

Пратите обалу неколико минута западно од Поипуа да бисте посетили најпознатију рупу на Кауаију. Гледајте како Споутинг Хорн пуца у торањ од воде до 50 стопа у ваздух кроз природну цев од лаве. Постоји велики паркинг и видиковац до рупе или можда можете видети грбаве китове током децембра - маја.

18

Kauai

As the audio guides play commentary based on your gps location, you can create your own itinerary along the tour route(s) to match your interests and schedule. Or you can use our trip planners for our suggestions on half, full or multi day itineraries. Some of the many highlights are listed below;

19

Ha'ena State Park

Ha'ena State Park is essentially the end of the road as you drive around the north shore of Kauai. The three most popular things to see and do at the end of the Kuhio Highway is to visit Ke'e Beach, or Tunnels Beach which is also called Ha'ena Beach Park, and to walk the Kalalau Trail. This is also the trailhead for overnight hikers and campers heading to the Na Pali Coast. Due to the extremely limited parking availability, you must either reserve a parking space or use the shuttle service to access the park.

20

Anini Beach

There are several excellent beaches to explore between Kapa'a and Princeville and Anini Beach is one of the best, with a sandy shoreline and the water is almost always calm. There are shady trees to help you enjoy a longer day at the beach too.

21

Hanalei Bay

Hanalei is a gentle crescent shaped bay with a beach nearly two miles long, surrounded by lush mountains and taro farms. A great and safe place to swim.

22

Hanapepe

A charming town filled with preserved historic plantation style buildings and a strong artist community. One of the best places to pick up a local souvenir is from the art galleries and shops featuring Niihau shell jewelry. Or take a walk across the Hapapepe Swinging Bridge.

23

Hanalei

The town has a relaxed surfer vibe with trendy cafes and stores. You will want to take a photo of the pier on the main beach with the rain-sculpted face of Namolokama in the background.

24

Kealia Beach

Along the path and just north of Kapa'a is Kealia Beach, which is good for swimming in protected areas, so long as the surf isn't too rough. But this can also be a good beach to watch surfers if the swell is running. Or give in to relaxation and find a shady tree overlooking Kapa'a Beach to take a nap!

25

Kapaa

Kapa'a is just about the liveliest town on the eastern side of Kauai. There are many places to enjoy a meal or an authentic Hawaiian snack and to wander the stores, or our favorite - grab a shave ice. If you're feeling slightly more energetic - rent a bike and ride the Kauai multi-use path which covers 8 miles of coastline and isn't at all strenuous.

26

Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge

The Kilauea Lighthouse is also a wildlife refuge, and you will see a range of seabirds in the area. The refuge and Lighthouse are closed Sundays and Mondays, but you can still enjoys the views even if you cannot access the main facilities. Reservations are now required to visit Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge, where the Kilauea Lighthouse is located.

27

Koke'e State Park

Extend your drive beyond Waimea Canyon to enter Koke'e State Park and complete the journey to the end of the road. The Kalalau Lookout is the most famous, and if the clouds are kind, you'll have a superb view all the way down a scenic Na Pali valley down to the ocean. The very last viewpoint is Pu'u O Kila, and also has magnificent views, though it offers different aspects. The Koke'e Natural Museum is a small rustic facility that holds treasures from the region and also displays about the natural environment. Worth a stop and snacks available here.

28

Poipu Beach Park

Different cultures across the world refer to them as 'dogs of the sea' and the Hawaiian translation loosely reflects that for native Hawaiian monk seals. Kauai is the best of the islands to see them. Poipu Beach and the coves along the North Shore near place like Tunnels are common places to spot them. Seals drag themselves up onto the beach to rest after feeding and to avoid predators in the water. As a protected and endangered species it's important to give them space and obey any signage.

29

Na Pali Coast State Park

Some of the most spectacular scenery starts at the end of the road on the North West end of the island at the Na Pali Coast State Wilderness Park. You cannot drive onto the Na Pali Coast, but it can be accessed by challenging hiking, kayaking or viewed from above with helicopter tours. Note: If you are entering via Ha'ena State Park on the Kuhio Highway (past Princeville), please note reservations are now required to be booked in advance for the limited car parking stalls, shuttles for day visitors and overnight hikers.

30

Poipu

Poipu is the most popular resort area on Kauai's south shore, partly because its location dodges most of the wet weather that is generated by the island. But also, there are three of the island's best sandy beaches all side by side: Kiahuna Beach, Poipu Beach Park and Shipwrecks Beach. Climb onto the headland of Makahuena Point for the views. Or continue westwards along the beaches for Spouting Horn blowhole. Poipu also has excellent dining and shopping options.

31

Princeville

Princeville is the largest resort area on the northern shore of Kauai and sits on a headland overlooking Hanalei Bay. It's home to some of the region's best hotel properties, restaurants and golf. Hideaway Beach is a nice little cove to explore, but the path is steep and tricky, and be very careful of the ocean conditions. Princeville acts as a base for exploring the rest of the North Shore.

32

Lihue

Kauai's most historical area and center of commercial activity is Lihue and Nawiliwili. These are great places to experience authentic Hawaiian history and some uniquely Kauaian food. There is a family-friendly, calm public beach called Kalapaki, in front of the Marriott. Follow the tour and continue past the cruise ship terminal to visit the Menehune Fish Pond, built by legendary ancient Hawaiians.

33

Wailua Falls

Located just an easy 10 minute drive from the heart of Lihue is the most recognized waterfall in Kauai. Two streams of water drop dramatically over a 80 foot drop. There's no need to hike, the best view is right from the parking area. Photo Tip: Arrive early in the morning to capture rainbows beaming out of the waterfall mist.

34

Spouting Horn

Follow the shoreline for a few minutes west from Poipu to visit Kauai's best known blowhole. Watch Spouting Horn shoot a tower of water up to 50 feet into the air through a natural lava tube. There is is a large carpark and viewpoint to the blowhole or perhaps catch sight of humpback whales during December - May.

81

Poipu

Poipu is the most popular resort area on Kauai's south shore, partly because its location dodges most of the wet weather that is generated by the island. But also, there are three of the island's best sandy beaches all side by side: Kiahuna Beach, Poipu Beach Park and Shipwrecks Beach. Climb onto the headland of Makahuena Point for the views. Or continue westwards along the beaches for Spouting Horn blowhole. Poipu also has excellent dining and shopping options.

82

Princeville

Princeville is the largest resort area on the northern shore of Kauai and sits on a headland overlooking Hanalei Bay. It's home to some of the region's best hotel properties, restaurants and golf.

Note: If you are entering via Ha'ena State Park on the Kuhio Highway (past Princeville), please note reservations are now required to be booked in advance for the limited car parking stalls, shuttles for day visitors and overnight hikers.

Poipu

Poipu is the most popular resort area on Kauai's south shore, partly because its location dodges most of the wet weather that is generated by the island. But also, there are three of the island's best sandy beaches all side by side: Kiahuna Beach, Poipu Beach Park and Shipwrecks Beach. Climb onto the headland of Makahuena Point for the views. Or continue westwards along the beaches for Spouting Horn blowhole. Poipu also has excellent dining and shopping options.

167

Princeville

Princeville is the largest resort area on the northern shore of Kauai and sits on a headland overlooking Hanalei Bay. It's home to some of the region's best hotel properties, restaurants and golf. Hideaway Beach is a nice little cove to explore, but the path is steep and tricky, and be very careful of the ocean conditions. Princeville acts as a base for exploring the rest of the North Shore.

168

Lihue

Kauai's most historical area and center of commercial activity is Lihue and Nawiliwili. These are great places to experience authentic Hawaiian history and some uniquely Kauaian food. There is a family-friendly, calm public beach called Kalapaki, in front of the Marriott. Follow the tour and continue past the cruise ship terminal to visit the Menehune Fish Pond, built by legendary ancient Hawaiians.

169

Wailua Falls

Located just an easy 10 minute drive from the heart of Lihue is the most recognized waterfall in Kauai. Two streams of water drop dramatically over a 80 foot drop. There's no need to hike, the best view is right from the parking area. Photo Tip: Arrive early in the morning to capture rainbows beaming out of the waterfall mist.

170

Spouting Horn

Follow the shoreline for a few minutes west from Poipu to visit Kauai's best known blowhole. Watch Spouting Horn shoot a tower of water up to 50 feet into the air through a natural lava tube. There is is a large carpark and viewpoint to the blowhole or perhaps catch sight of humpback whales during December - May.

Kauai

As the audio guides play commentary based on your gps location, you can create your own itinerary along the tour route(s) to match your interests and schedule. Or you can use our trip planners for our suggestions on half, full or multi day itineraries. Some of the many highlights are listed below;

172

Ha'ena State Park

Ha'ena State Park is essentially the end of the road as you drive around the north shore of Kauai. The three most popular things to see and do at the end of the Kuhio Highway is to visit Ke'e Beach, or Tunnels Beach which is also called Ha'ena Beach Park, and to walk the Kalalau Trail. This is also the trailhead for overnight hikers and campers heading to the Na Pali Coast. Due to the extremely limited parking availability, you must either reserve a parking space or use the shuttle service to access the park.

173

Anini Beach

There are several excellent beaches to explore between Kapa'a and Princeville and Anini Beach is one of the best, with a sandy shoreline and the water is almost always calm. There are shady trees to help you enjoy a longer day at the beach too.

174

Hanalei Bay

Hanalei is a gentle crescent shaped bay with a beach nearly two miles long, surrounded by lush mountains and taro farms. A great and safe place to swim.

175

Hanapepe

A charming town filled with preserved historic plantation style buildings and a strong artist community. One of the best places to pick up a local souvenir is from the art galleries and shops featuring Niihau shell jewelry. Or take a walk across the Hapapepe Swinging Bridge.

176

Hanalei

The town has a relaxed surfer vibe with trendy cafes and stores. You will want to take a photo of the pier on the main beach with the rain-sculpted face of Namolokama in the background.

177

Kealia Beach

Along the path and just north of Kapa'a is Kealia Beach, which is good for swimming in protected areas, so long as the surf isn't too rough. But this can also be a good beach to watch surfers if the swell is running. Or give in to relaxation and find a shady tree overlooking Kapa'a Beach to take a nap!

178

Kapaa

Kapa'a is just about the liveliest town on the eastern side of Kauai. There are many places to enjoy a meal or an authentic Hawaiian snack and to wander the stores, or our favorite - grab a shave ice. If you're feeling slightly more energetic - rent a bike and ride the Kauai multi-use path which covers 8 miles of coastline and isn't at all strenuous.

179

Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge

The Kilauea Lighthouse is also a wildlife refuge, and you will see a range of seabirds in the area. The refuge and Lighthouse are closed Sundays and Mondays, but you can still enjoys the views even if you cannot access the main facilities. Reservations are now required to visit Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge, where the Kilauea Lighthouse is located.

180

Koke'e State Park

Extend your drive beyond Waimea Canyon to enter Koke'e State Park and complete the journey to the end of the road. The Kalalau Lookout is the most famous, and if the clouds are kind, you'll have a superb view all the way down a scenic Na Pali valley down to the ocean. The very last viewpoint is Pu'u O Kila, and also has magnificent views, though it offers different aspects. The Koke'e Natural Museum is a small rustic facility that holds treasures from the region and also displays about the natural environment. Worth a stop and snacks available here.

181

Poipu Beach Park

Different cultures across the world refer to them as 'dogs of the sea' and the Hawaiian translation loosely reflects that for native Hawaiian monk seals. Kauai is the best of the islands to see them. Poipu Beach and the coves along the North Shore near place like Tunnels are common places to spot them. Seals drag themselves up onto the beach to rest after feeding and to avoid predators in the water. As a protected and endangered species it's important to give them space and obey any signage.

Na Pali Coast State Park

Some of the most spectacular scenery starts at the end of the road on the North West end of the island at the Na Pali Coast State Wilderness Park.
