Good to Know

- Public transportation is limited on Kauai, and renting a car is recommended if you plan on exploring the island.
- Most of Kauai quiets down after dark, and there isn’t much a nightlife for those seeking after hours entertainment.
- Na Pali Coast and Mountain Tubing tours are extremely popular and book up weeks in advance, so be sure to book early!
