Planning a Kauai Trip?


Hi there!

I’m taking a quick detour from California for a moment to talk about one of my favorite Hawaiian islands: Kauai!

I re-visited for the first time in about 10 years last month, so it was nice to get to dive into the beauty of “the Garden Isle”.

A few highlights:

  • Doing a sunset cruise along the Na Pali Coast (truly a must if you’re planning a Kauai trip!)
  • Exploring Waimea Canyon and Kōkeʻe State Parks
  • Seeing sea turtles at Poipu Beach
  • Hiking the first two miles of the Kalalau Trail on the Na Pali Coast (this was my second time doing this hike, and it was much rainier than the last! I recommend good hiking boots and hiking poles).
  • Enjoying acai bowls at Little Fish Coffee (seriously so good!)

If you’re planning a Kauai vacation (or just want a little travel inspiration), take a look at my guide to Kauai’s South Shore – AKA the sunny side of the island! It covers the top things to do in the area, as well as recommendations on where to stay and eat.

If you’ll be visiting any of the Hawaiian islands soon, I’ve also put together a short and sweet Hawaii packing list. It includes all the essentials you’ll need for a fun & safe vacation.

I’ll be back next month with some more California-focused content!

Happy travels!
