A beautiful beach with mountains and a pier.

Hanalei Bay is one of the most scenic beaches on the north shore of Kauai. It features mountain views and a pier. In summer, the water gets calm and clear. It's perfect for swimming, SUP, and diving. During the winter, the it becomes a beautiful surf spot.

There are small lots for parking scattered along the length of the beach, so refrain from parking in front of houses. It stays relatively uncrowded when compared to beaches on Oahu, but the small lots do fill up.

Hanalei is hands down one of the best places in Kauai, and maybe even all of Hawaii. Hanalei Bay is a huge beach with a pier and is almost never too crowded.

NOTE: The beach is closed in the winter months due to high surf. Be sure to work with a local guide to insure you do this adventure safely.The only way to reach Miloli'i is by Kayak.

Scramble the Okolehao Ridge Trail

They don't call it the butt slide trail for nothing— the Okolehao Trail (translated to iron butt, for more than just the glutes involved) —is a short drive from Princeville, just before Hanalei Bay. Filled with lush vegetation, ample wildlife, and stunning viewpoints, the full trail isn't for the faint of heart, particularly if it rains at all.When I embarked on this route I had no idea having...

Soaking in Queen's Bath

Between the frequent rains and the often overcast forecast, Kauai is not always the typical Hawaiian tropical getaway people dream of. But there are few islands that offer the same majestic waterfalls, luscious valleys, world renowned breaks, and more. Like a handful of the island's other gems, Queen’s Bath is one of the spots that makes Kauai, well, Kauai.After driving through the town of Prin...

Hike to Turtle Cave

Turtle Cave is located within a small bay on the Princeville side of Kauai. This hike requires swimming, repelling down a steep cliff and potentially high tides. This particular access point is located on private property, so you should be staying in one of the rentals or traveling with a guest. When you turn right on Edward Rd, make your second left just before the dead end. You will want t...
