I still recommend all of those things, but Kauai is so amazing that I had to add a few more! There are still plenty of things that I haven’t done and I’ve been to the islands a lot. If you want to book a luau or anything else on this list, feel free to contact me because I can help you set up your trip in advance! If you’re still in the planning stages, I’d be happy to help plan every detail of your vacation!

If you’re looking for the best resorts on Kauai, you’re probably torn between the Poipu area and the Hanalei area. If you enjoy this post, you might also enjoy the 10 best resorts on Maui and the 7 best resorts on the Big Island. I read in Hawaii magazine that it was the editors choice for the best boutique hotel, so I wanted to check it out. I’ll write a full review later, but I will say that it’s a great place to stay if you’re on a budget and looking for a place to sleep.

If you’ve never heard of Navarre, it’s a beach town located in the Florida panhandle in between Pensacola and Destin. You can access Navarre Beach and the area where the hotel is operated for free by choosing the bridge located in the middle of the island. The “gulf view” side also has a view of the road and it’s not beach front, but you still see the ocean. A hotel suite typically means that there are connecting rooms, but the rooms at the SpringHill by Marriot Navarre Beach are only one room.

There is at least one tour operator out of Lahaina Harbor but again, it isn’t far to drive to Maalaea from Lahaina. If you’re wondering if you need a rental car on Maui, check out do you need a rental car in Hawaii. Who would enjoy snorkeling at Molokini Crater? Families, couples, single travelers, a boat tour to Molokini Crater is for everyone. **Since this is the time of bloggers and influencers, I do want to mention that I paid my own way for our Molokini Crater snorkel tour and did not receive a discount.
