qwertyjjj J Webster Post Count: 106 Msg: #1 141 days ago, May 24th 2008 | I've been told that Kaua'i would be better than Honolulu. | So, is 1 day in Honlulu okay and then 5 in Kaua'i doing: Kalalau Trail Na Pali mountains Sailing catamaran, e.g. HoloHolo Charters, tour sea off Na Pali coast Humpback whales Waimea Canyon (drive, walk, horse, 10miles) Hanakapi'ai Falls Spouting horn geyser Po'ipu beach Tunnel's beach Any thoughts? qwertyjjj J Webster Post Count: 106 Msg: #2 141 days ago, May 24th 2008 | I am going to drive the California Coast for a week and then get a flight out of LA. | Turns out I can fly direct to Kauai. Would it be better to miss out Honolulu completely and just spend 5 days on Kauai? Is 5 days too much? I'm more of an outdoors person than wanting to see cities but would like to visit some typical backpacker destinations as well as am travelling solo.  tjp765 Tim Palmer Post Count: 17 Msg: #3 132 days ago, June 2nd 2008 | Yes, Kauai is by far better. | You can skit Honolulu all together. North Shore is good. Tim KeeganP Keegan Parker Post Count: 1 Msg: #4 101 days ago, July 3rd 2008 | Kauai is a lot better for you if you like the natural outdoors stuff. I hiked to a waterfall up the Kalalau trail (I forget the name, we didn't have time to hike the whole trail) and it was amazing to see. We also did a zodiac tour of the Na Pali coast from Waimea which was really cool too we got to see the cliffs, a few cool rock formations, whales, dolphins and sea turtles. We didn't see Waimea canyon but heard it was pretty cool. Poipu beach was pretty crowded when we went there, but a seal came up onto the beach so that was interesting. Have fun Kauai is awesome! | [Edited: 17:10 - KeeganP ] qwertyjjj J Webster Post Count: 106 Msg: #5 101 days ago, July 3rd 2008 | Are there any decent hostels to stay at on Kauai? | I heard bad reports about all of them but as I'm travelling, backpacker places are about the only chance you get to socialise a bit.
