    Kauai Hiking

    The road biking isn't very good on Kauai. But the hiking is amazing!



    This is taken on the Kalahau Trail on the way to Hanakapi'ai Beach.

    We've got some other pictures up on our site from our trip. Kauai is such a beautiful island with lots of opportunities to hike, kayak and snorkel.

    Cool Kauai

    We have had good luck road riding on Kauai. Though the rides tend to be short, the people are still very kind to cyclists! We have enjoyed going to Poipu, the bird sanctuary, and up the Waimea Canyon on our tandem...be sure your brakes are in great shape! Hanalei is fun and so are the old cane roads My husband does some solo road and mountain biking, as well. We have S&S couplers on our bikes, so we can check them on the inter-island flights. Although there are beautiful plants on all the islands, the Orchid Isle (the Big Island) remains our favorite for rides and flowers!

    If you want to do an overnight hiking trip - be sure to send in your money and get your permit very early.... we planned on doing it, and were denied b/c my hubby did not send in the permit request on time. The day hike is still wonderful and a pretty good workout... and of course beautiful.

    We will be travelling to Kauia shortly, and are very excited! Surprised to hear the road riding is good, as I read there are mainly highways to ride on and it can be quite hectic during rush hour.

    We are looking forward to the hiking, I'll add some reviews when I get back...oh, what an island to live on permanently!

    I just got back from Hawaii and I saw a lot of cyclist of all sorts there. The last day (yesterday) I saw a road club of ladies out for a ride, I was very invious!

    At least I know next time I can rent a bike and do some cycling. In Waikiki it would be the best way to get around!

    Anyway I totally loved my time in paradise.
