Чого очікувати
1
Кауаї
Оскільки аудіогіди відтворюють коментарі на основі вашого GPS-місцезнаходження, ви можете створити власний маршрут уздовж маршрутів туру відповідно до ваших інтересів і розкладу. Або ви можете скористатися нашими планувальниками поїздок, щоб отримати пропозиції щодо південних, повних або багатоденних маршрутів. Нижче наведено деякі з багатьох основних моментів;
2
Державний парк Хаена
Державний парк Ha'ena - це, по суті, кінець дороги, коли ви об'їжджаєте північний берег Кауаї. Три найпопулярніші речі, які варто побачити та зробити в кінці шосе Кухіо, це відвідати пляж Ке'е або пляж Туннелів, який також називають парком Хаена-Біч, і прогулятися стежкою Калалау. Це також початок стежки для туристів, які ночують, і кемперів, які прямують до узбережжя На Палі. Через вкрай обмежену кількість паркувальних місць вам потрібно або забронювати місце для паркування, або скористатися послугою трансферу, щоб дістатися до парку.
3
Пляж Аніні
Між Капаа та Прінсвілем є кілька чудових пляжів, а пляж Аніні є одним із найкращих із піщаним узбережжям і майже завжди спокійною водою. Є також тінисті дерева, які допоможуть вам довше провести день на пляжі.
4
Затока Ханалей
Ханалей — це полога затока у формі півмісяця з пляжем довжиною майже дві милі, оточена пишними горами та фермами таро. Чудове та безпечне місце для купання.
5
Ханапепе
Чарівне місто, наповнене збереженими історичними будівлями в плантаційному стилі та сильною спільнотою художників. Одне з найкращих місць, щоб підібрати місцеві сувеніри, — це художні галереї та магазини, де представлені прикраси з черепашок Ніїхау. Або прогуляйтеся по мосту Хапапепе.
6
Ханалей
У місті панує спокійна серферська атмосфера з модними кафе та магазинами. Вам захочеться сфотографувати пірс на головному пляжі з виліпленим дощем обличчям Намолокама на задньому плані.
7
Пляж Кеалія
Уздовж стежки на північ від Капаа знаходиться пляж Кеалія, який добре підходить для купання в захищених зонах, якщо прибій не надто бурхливий. Але це також може бути хорошим пляжем для спостереження за серферами, якщо хвиля йде. Або розслабтеся та знайдіть тінисте дерево з видом на пляж Капаа, щоб подрімати!
8
Капаа
Капаа — це найжвавіше місто на східній стороні Кауаї. Є багато місць, де можна насолодитися їжею чи справжньою гавайською закускою та побродити по магазинах, або наше улюблене місце – взяти льоду. Якщо ви почуваєтеся трохи бадьоріше, візьміть напрокат велосипед і проїдьте багатофункціональною стежкою Кауаї, яка охоплює 8 миль узбережжя й зовсім не виснажлива.
9
Національний заповідник дикої природи Кілауеа-Пойнт
Маяк Кілауеа також є притулком дикої природи, і ви побачите різноманітні морські птахи в цьому районі. Притулок і маяк закриті в неділю та понеділок, але ви все одно можете насолоджуватися краєвидами, навіть якщо у вас немає доступу до основних об'єктів. Відтепер потрібне бронювання, щоб відвідати Національний заповідник дикої природи Кілауеа-Пойнт, де розташований маяк Кілауеа.
10
Державний парк Коке
Подовжте свою поїздку за межі каньйону Ваймеа, щоб увійти в державний парк Коке'е та завершити подорож до кінця дороги. Оглядовий майданчик Калалау є найвідомішим, і якщо хмари ласкаві, ви матимете чудовий краєвид усю дорогу вниз по мальовничій долині На Палі аж до океану. Останній оглядовий майданчик Pu'u O Kila, з якого також відкриваються чудові краєвиди, хоча й різні аспекти. Природничий музей Коке — це невеликий сільський заклад, який зберігає скарби регіону, а також демонструє природне середовище. Тут варто зупинитись і перекусити.
11
Пляжний парк Поіпу
Різні культури по всьому світу називають їх «морськими собаками», і гавайський переклад приблизно відображає те, що для місцевих гавайських тюленів-монахів. Кауаї - найкращий з островів, щоб їх побачити. Пляж Поіпу та бухти вздовж Північного узбережжя поблизу такого місця, як Тунелі, є звичайними місцями, де їх можна помітити. Тюлені витягуються на пляж, щоб відпочити після годівлі та уникнути хижаків у воді. Оскільки вони є охоронюваними та зникаючими видами, важливо давати їм простір і дотримуватися будь-яких знаків.
12
Державний парк узбережжя На Палі
Деякі з найдивовижніших краєвидів починаються в кінці дороги на північно-західній частині острова в парку дикої природи узбережжя На Палі. Ви не можете потрапити на узбережжя На-Палі на машині, але до нього можна дістатися, пройшовши складну пішу прогулянку, покатавшись на байдарках або подивившись згори за допомогою екскурсій на вертольоті. Примітка. Якщо ви в’їжджаєте через державний парк Хаена по шосе Кухіо (за Прінсвіллем), зверніть увагу, що тепер потрібно бронювати заздалегідь місця на парковці з обмеженою кількістю автомобілів, шатли для денних відвідувачів і нічних туристів.
13
Поіпу
Поіпу є найпопулярнішим курортним районом на південному узбережжі Кауаї, частково тому, що його розташування уникає більшої частини вологої погоди, яка створюється островом. Крім того, поруч знаходяться три найкращі піщані пляжі острова: пляж Кіахуна, парк пляжу Поіпу та пляж корабельних аварій. Підніміться на мис Макахуена-Пойнт, щоб побачити краєвиди. Або продовжуйте рух на захід вздовж пляжів, щоб знайти дудку Spouting Horn. Поіпу також має чудові заклади харчування та магазини.
14
Принсвілл
Принсвілл є найбільшою курортною зоною на північному березі острова Кауаї, розташованою на мисі з видом на затоку Ханалей. Тут розташовані деякі з найкращих готелів регіону, ресторани та поле для гольфу. Пляж Hideaway — це гарна маленька бухта для дослідження, але шлях крутий і складний, тому будьте дуже обережні з умовами океану. Принсвілл є базою для вивчення решти Північного узбережжя.
15
Ліхуе
Найісторичнішим районом Кауаї та центром комерційної діяльності є Ліхуе та Навілівілі. Це чудові місця, де можна відчути автентичну історію Гавайських островів і унікальну куаївську їжу. Навпроти готелю Marriott є спокійний сімейний пляж під назвою Калапакі. Дотримуйтеся екскурсії та продовжуйте повз термінал круїзних суден, щоб відвідати рибний став Менехун, побудований легендарними стародавніми гавайцями.
16
Водоспад Вайлуа
Найвідоміший водоспад Кауаї розташований лише за 10 хвилин їзди від центру Ліхуе. Два потоки води різко падають з висоти 80 футів. Немає потреби йти пішки, найкращий вид відкривається прямо з парковки. Порада для фотографій: прибудьте рано вранці, щоб сфотографувати веселки, що виблискують із туману водоспаду.
17
Струкаючий ріг
Слідуйте береговою лінією кілька хвилин на захід від Поіпу, щоб відвідати найвідомішу вибухову діру Кауаї. Дивіться, як Spouting Horn викидає вежу з водою на висоту до 50 футів у повітря через природну лавову трубу. У грудні-травні є велика стоянка для автомобілів і оглядовий майданчик, де можна поспостерігати за горбатими китами.
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.

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.

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!
76
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.

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.

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.
158
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.
159
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.
160
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!
161
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.
162
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.
163
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.
164
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.
165
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.
166
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.
171
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.

My 17 year old granddaughter and I used the app and found it to be easy to use with great directions and information! We saw things we had never heard about and learned about island history, as well. We really like the way it is presented…we can use it in segments, if we choose, plus it is always available once purchased. Thanks again!

The guide was great. It provided all the info/stops we wanted to see and those we didn't even know about. Plus it provided complete directions so we never got lost. Definitely worth the money.
