Kauai
I went to Kauai with my family during the month of January! WHALES, WHALES everywhere. The surf is a bit rough in January but the crowds are a bit smaller. We did this trip in combination with The Big Island. Kauai is great for families and couples.
What I can do for you:
- Help you find a great condo, or hotel in your budget.
- Explain the food prices-no surprises
- Provide locations of great hikes.
- Pick excursions tailored to your likes
- Give you information about rental cars
Budget
- Airfares will run $850to $1100 from DFW depending on number of stops.
- Condos- 1 bedroom-ocean view- $225 a night-- no ocean view $100+ a night
- Hotels- ocean front $250+ a night--- off the ocean $120+
- Food- expensive- Condo best deal so you can make at least 2 meals a day- plus who wouldn't like grilling with an ocean view! If you eat out -typical- breakfast $12, Lunch $17, dinner $25+ Grocery are expensive too- but I have suggestions to help you save money!
- Excursions are pricey- $80- $150 pp (kayaking, tubing, zodiac boat rides, scuba/diving)
Fantasy Island water falls (with a secret hike nearby), scenery near they condo we rented, another secret hike - this is the entrance to a scientific discovery oasis
Lighthouse visit, and wild beaches and a fun swimming beach on the north side of the island.
The Grand Canyon of Kauai includes a stellar hike to the ocean overlook.
Another great (uphill) hike to a stunning overlook. The kids went to the top of the scary ridge.
