Aloha
Welcome to the official mainlander's guide to Kauai website.
This site was created to help people who are not familiar with Kauai find many places and things to do. We started this website to help travelers save their precious vacation time by putting everything that is needed in one easy to use and convenient place. Every time we go somewhere, someone from the mainland stops us and asks, "can you tell me where..."
So, this website is for visitors on Kauai who would like a little help and friendly advice. Here, you will find all of the information you will need. We will let you know how things work here, and give you info on things you might not have even thought of about. We tried to include everything we could think of to make your vacation as organized and pleasant as possible.
On our site on the left hand side of the screen you will find a menu laid out in the following: | |  |
 | | Things to do on Kauai : in this section we have put together a collection of things to do like you can take a tour of the island with Alex taxi and tours or take a tour of the island on the water, you can take a cocktail cruise with captain Andy, or a whale watching tour with Blue Dolphin tours. You could be planning your wedding and if you need to find things to do in Kauai like a place that will rent you the 2 horses for your on the beach wedding which would be silver falls ranch. You would want to check the Things to do area for such things as a great spa on the north face, or which helicopter service you should use. One thing that will get your motor running of course is to rent a Harley Davidson for the week and let your freak flag fly from Kauai Harley, and if you are not up to a big hog, how about a little moped? The things to while on kauai also covers the most fun in H2O, if you are look to do anything in, on or next to the water, such as snorkeling, scuba diving Kauai, surfing, or kayaking which type of kayak should you get and where? After we snorkel, surf, scuba or kayak, you may just need to know which beach you surf on, or where to best just swim, which has the best body views, or which one can you lay down and not hear another human voice, and imagine yourself as the Professor or Ginger If you need to buy a swimsuit or even that little bikini the go to our Where to section which has a where to buy a bikini. If you are thinking to yourself, "Oh a bikini, no I don't think so", then you also need to know how to pick out a sarong. These are all the activities you can do in stead of just going to the gift shop. Oh and in the Things to do section is the list of Spas and golf courses which is must while you are here, if that is your thing. |
| Sights to see is a section which contents the natural wonders of the Kauai island. Just like the rest of the world where there are 7 wonders of the world, we have the 7 wonders of Kauai. We help you plan your day and tell you the things the tour books don't tell you like, when you go to Waimea Canyon which Mark Twain labeled "Grand canyon of the Pacific" that you should bring snacks and water because the last rest stop is at the base of the canyon road, then it is 7.5 miles up and I mean up. Then you get the great view of the falls, so you get a 2 for 1 sale, Pu'u Ka falls (Pele's Lookout)which is over 150 foot water fall, wonder #2 but wait, that is not all the same road also slices and dices, no really if you continue up the road, you will find "The wettest place on the planet" wonder #3. But once again the tour books do not tell you that the wettest place on the planet comes with a 20 degree drop in temp and is fogged in most of the day, but still the only land way to see wonder #4 the Napili Coast all this is a good half a day and we have the trip planned out for you and where the other fun things to do are along the way. | |  |
 | | Where To is the section which has where to shop, where to eat on Kauai, Where to find a restaurant on Kauai. There are many ranges of restaurant on Kauai from Gaylords which is top for fine dinning, but if you would like steak, then there are 2 place the Bull Shed and The Kalaheo Steak House these are the top of the line, but what if you just want a nice casual dinner then you might go to Brennecke's beach broiler or to Duke's Canoe club. Now the local have another kind of eating which is called grinds, sorta like the coffee but in food, for that there are a bunch like Camp House Grill, Dani's Restaurant, The Eggbert's or Lihue Barbecue Inn. There are a few that can be a little deceiving from the out side they do not look like what you are going to find inside Like Lemongrass Grill, Tidepools, Tomkats grille, Wrangler's steak house. Where to stay on Kauai, Little do visitors know but we do have a few under $100.00/per night places to stay, like Motel Kauai, or The Kauai Palms, please note right up front that these are not the Grand Hyatt, well then nether is the Grand Hyatt because they changed their name. So we have listed all the Hotels, Motels, and the coolest sometime, the bed and breakfast on Kauai like Aunty Donna's. The problem some times happens that a person falls in love with Kauai and if you do then you will need to know where to buy a house on Kauai, or rent a condo for a month a each year. How to find the perfect gift, peace of art, and who can forget where to buy jewelry on Kauai? We have also put a few things like where go for a horse back ride, or where to Golf, and where to buy clothes on Kauai. You will find repeats sometimes on this site because some people may not think of shopping as a thing to do, but some would. So in areas like sites to see on Kauai, we often also have over laps because while visiting Waimea Canyon, we would tell you which places to eat along the way. One other lap over in the where to is such things as where to see whales, but that would also be found under Whale watching tours under Things to Do, and Sights to see. This might seem a bit redundant, but better safe then sorry. Just like, if we to list ourselves it would be under where to go to find where to go on Kauai. |
Technology: We added this section because on the little island of Kauai, it is hard to find where to do something's based around technology so let's get some of the facts out of the way, there are NO technology stores on the island of Kauai. No Best Buy, No CompUSA, No CDW, Our best place to buy technology, sad to say is Wal-mart. But with this in Mind, we find that we should help the visitors with a couple of fact about technology, like how to empty the digital card that is in that new digital camera you bought just for this trip? Also how to get the digital pics to look the best? We have not only given you general digital camera tips, but also give you some places you will want to go for photo's while you are here, and very detailed descriptions of when you should go, where you should stand and when to watch your step. We give you some samples and this is the only area where we sell some stuff. We sell a water proof bag for your camera which you can even take swimming and you should have to even play around the water. We also sell for a very some amount printed postcards online, if you find this site helpful this is how we intend to pay for it's up keep
This months hot product review is no less then a Soft Waterproof camera case for a Nikon D70. Coming new is a Hard Waterproof camera case for a Nikon D70. Check them out, you will be suprised.
We have a new Hawaiian Hook company in Hawaii, if you would like to take a look, and find great Hawaiian Hooks you may see them at http://www.hawaiianhooks.info/
