Need Kaua'i Vacation Advice!

Thanks for all of your awesome responses! V, I wish I could come tomorrow. Okay, I could come, but I wouldn't make the whole trip. My saddle time has been very limited this year. Hope to be stronger later in the summer!

I think we will settle for renting or purchasing snorkel gear on our own. I'm mainly nervous of all the talk of rogue waves and rip currents that I see on all the sites about the beaches on Kaua'i.

We are leaning toward doing the helicopter tour. It really does look amazing! V, do you remember which company you went with?

Also, V, did you do any hiking in Waimea Canyon? We'd like to do some hiking while we're there and the canyon looks amazing!

You should come with us tomorrow anyway. The whole thing is an out and back, so it would be perfect to push yourself until you're done and it's a pretty easy ride back to Sunol.

We used The Ultimate Kauai Guidebook to plan our trip. Our helicopter trip was with InterIsland. We got some awesome pictures. I'll post a link to where they are on the website later, when Thom gets home. They haven't been migrated to the new site yet.

We did two hikes, one was about ten miles on the Nu'alolo Trail and back on the Awaa'awapuhi Trail

Another day we hiked part way out the Kalalau Trail to Hanakapi'ai Beach.

Both were stunning.

Hi Slinkedog, we went hiking in Waimea Canyon. Just wanted to tell you it was spectacular! The views are breathtaking, especially the view of the coastline - i think it was called the Kanapali Coastline - i hope you get a chance to do it! - j.
