re: Activity Rec's for Kau'i & Maui

Kauai is amazeballs. Some personal recommendations:


Kauai Surf School- private lessons are pretty expensive, but group lessons are only $75/person & it's only 4 people max per group!

Hiking in Waimea Canyon. Get lunch at the shrimp shack while you're out there! It looks ghetto but the coconut shrimp is the best I've ever had

Na Pali coast- more great hiking!

Plantation Garden Restaurant & Bar (Poipu)- beautiful gardens surrounding the restaurant! Good for a meal or a happy hr cocktail

Josselin's Tapas Bar & Grill. They have a roll around sangria cart that they bring up to the tables and serve you! The lychee sangria is amaaaazing!

The Beach House restaurant

Go to koloa fish market and get poke (pronounced poke-ay)!

Cheap day time lunch food- Da Crack (tex mex)

Get a drink at the St Regis in Princeville overlooking the ocean
