Planning a trip to Kauai? You’re going to love it! It’s one of the most beautiful Hawaiian Islands, well known for its lush, green mountains.

Remember Jurassic Park? Well, that’s Kauai. With so much natural beauty (beaches! hiking! snorkeling!), you could stay busy for weeks exploring every part of this island, so I’ve narrowed this list down to 15 things to do in Kauai.

Without further adieu…here are 15 things to do in Kauai that you definitely shouldn’t miss.

This coastline full of soaring green, jagged cliffs lined with white sand beaches is a sight that many choose to see on a helicopter tour but it’s best explored by ocean raft where you can zip in and out of sea caves and feel the ocean spray on your face.

Mark Twain called Waimea Canyon the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific” and it doesn’t disappoint. It’s worth the drive to the most remote part of the island to gaze out across the canyon.

Full of cute little shops and restaurants, Hanalei is a great surf town and in the winter months it draws surfers from all over the world. Grab a bite to eat, browse through a couple of shops and keep driving along the North Shore for great views.

Hang out in Kauai’s historic towns

Kauai’s north shore has some of the most beautiful beaches on the island. Start at Ke’e beach, which is the end of the road on the north shore, and check out some spectacular beaches including Ha’ena, Tunnels, and Hideaways.

It’s a fairly simple natural phenomenon, but blowholes in the Hawaiian Islands always draw a crowd. The Spouting Horn blowhole on the south side of Kauai is close to the resort area of Poipu and easy to get to so it’s a popular spot.
