8 Reasons to Take a Family Vacation in Kauai 

Beautiful Beaches 

You won’t need to skip the beach when you take a family vacation in Kauai. There are quite a few spectacular beaches to choose from. Poipu Beach is a popular beach for swimming and snorkeling. Hanalei Bay Beach, Tunnels Beach, and Polihale Beach are other incredible options.  

Amazing Hiking Opportunities 

One of the best ways to explore the Hawaiian Islands is by hiking. On the island of Kauai, you will find some amazing hiking opportunities. Beginning hikers will love going along the Kalepa Ridge Trail. It is only a mile long. During this hike, you will see stunning views of the Na Pali Coast.  

The Kalalau Trail is a lot longer, at eleven miles. However, this hike will take you through some of the best dense forests and beaches on the island. Along the way, you will see stunning waterfalls and views from massive cliffs.  

Incredible Accommodations 

You won’t need to stay in a hut on the beach while on a family vacation in Kauai. I can book luxury accommodations for you. Those accommodations are only steps away from the beach too. So, you can all enjoy those long morning strolls along the sand and nights watching the sunset.  

Experiencing the Na Pali Coast 

One of the best attractions on Kauai is the Na Pali Coast. This is a fabulous seventeen-mile stretch of coastline. There are so many things you can do on the Na Pali Coast. Start with a hike or boat ride. Then consider a helicopter tour to see everything from a different vantage point.  

Experiencing the Royal Coconut Coast 

If you can’t get enough of the coastlines, you will be happy to know that Kauai is also home to the Royal Coconut Coast. This coastline is on the east side of the island. You will discover numerous historic areas amongst the coconut trees on this beautiful coast in Kauai.  

Incredible Shopping 

Local stores are everywhere on the island of Kauai. One of the best places to go shopping is Kinipopo Shopping Village. You will find this shopping destination on the Royal Coconut Coast. During your shopping adventures, you will find everything from jewelry and clothing to works of art.  

Spectacular Waterfalls 

Some of the best waterfalls in the world can be seen during a family vacation in Kauai. Numerous waterfalls can be seen at Mount Waialeale. You must hike three miles to reach those waterfalls. Unless you take a helicopter tour to see the waterfalls from above.  

Another popular waterfall in Kauai is Wailua Falls.  

Impressive Waimea Canyon 

Waimea Canyon is often called the Grand Canyon of the Pacific. This canyon is fourteen miles long and one mile wide. Inside the canyon, you can discover waterfalls, gorges, and dense forests. One of the best ways to see it all is by following the hiking trails.  

These are eight of the main reasons to take a family vacation in Kauai. You will notice that I didn’t mention anything about any of these areas on the island being crowded. This is because crowds barely exist on this beautiful Hawaiian Island.
