Drinks & Nightlife
Local favorite, small little place that has lives local musicians nightly generally playing Hawaiian music. Wednesday night they have a fun small luau - not the big resort luau, but more like what a true locals luau is. Local musicians, dancers and great mai tais!

Parks & Nature
Hanalei Bay is one of our favorite places to hand out. We're there almost every day for at least a few hours. Great beach to walk, usually good surfing for beginners or experienced surfers, stand-up paddle. Don't go there to snorkel!

Arts & Culture
Kauai Museum
4428 Rice StEvery Thursday local and visitor volunteers make poi from locally grown kalo (taro). It's a great way to learn some local stuff as you sit around and "talk story". You can stop by for a short time or stay all morning. Wear clothes that can get wet and a little dirty. Long hair must be tied back. It's one of my favorite activities!
