Kauai Area Info
“Probably some of the best mountain biking, surfing and kite boarding I have ever done. And I didn’t even have to go anywhere.”
Kauai is an outdoors persons’ Mecca. Do you enjoy; hiking to 600 foot waterfalls, sailing along the intense green Napali coastline, sport fishing for 400 lb. tuna, mountain biking along red dirt tracks and rain forests, running the famous sandy shore of Lumahai (made famous by South Pacific), kite boarding the perfect windswept coast of Haena, ziplining across verdant ravines, horseback riding the oldest working cattle ranch in America, diving off cliffs into natural swimming holes, paddling Hawaiian outrigger canoes at sunset, snorkeling with humuhumunukunukuapu’a’a and other rainbow fish of the South Pacific reefs, surfing world famous Hanalei Bay?
"Unbelievable. One of the most beautiful golf courses in the world is 7 minutes away."
A golfer’s paradise, Kauai is home to 2 of Hawaii’s best public courses (Makai Course, Princeville and Wailua Course in Wailua) as well as the famed Prince Course at Princeville.
Or perhaps you are more the kickback kind. Read your book on the sofa on your lanai, mix a maitai and watch the sun go down. Take one of the beach cruisers and peddle into town. Browse for pineapples at one of our local farmers’ markets or ride to the fish market for freshly caught ahi, grill it back at the house with lime from the tree downstairs and let the kids run across the thick carpet of green grass. Swing in the hammock. Smile.
Are you a culinary devotee? Enjoy a plate of local fare at Polynesia Café, have a bowl of steamed mussels and a cold beer for lunch at The Hanalei Gourmet or enjoy fine wines and gourmet tapas to rival city eats at Barracuda on a Saturday night. Its all in Hanalei.
Take a drive to the end of the road and traverse our famous one lane-bridges. And don’t forget our beaches. Become a sand connoisseur. Compare the large brush-away grains of Haena to the fine white sands of Hanalei. And the best part? No matter what time of year, you can always find a place where no one else is.
Set your clock to Hawaiian Time. Or blast off into adrenal space. Whatever you need. NamiNori House is your starting point.
