Waimea Canyon and the North Shore are beautiful, but if you stay in the overdeveloped strip between Kapa’a and Lihue you’ll be stuck in traffic and spending a lot of time staring at taquerias, tattoo parlors and knick-knack stores.
The nicest town on Kauai is sweet little Waimea on the Leeward (south) side. Stay there instead for a chill, laid-back and sunny vibe. It’s right where the turn-off for Waimea Canyon road is anyway.
We went to Kaua’i to celebrate our second anniversary. The snorkeling was incredible (especially at Tunnels beach), though some of the beaches were pretty rough. We really enjoyed staying at the Kaha Lani near Lydgate Park. To celebrate our anniversary, we had dinner at Tide Pools at the Grand Hyatt. Everything was incredible and I would go back there in a heartbeat (if I didn’t have so many other places on my list).
“I am planning a trip to Kaua'i for summer 2010. I am an avid shore angler and prefer light tackle. I would very much appreciate any advice on good places to fish. I especially like to fish for the kitchen. Thanks”

“Leaving for Maui/Kauai in 2 weeks, what's the best luau to go to? Also, I'm an architect and would love to see some neat buildings, any recommendations?”
