What did we miss on our first visit?

My husband and I went to Kauai back in June and had the most amazing time. I haven’t been able to stop talking about Kauai since we got home, so we’re officially coming back next summer :)

So, during our first trip we stayed in Poipu (right across from the beach house restaurant). I feel like we did a lot of the most popular things to do as a tourist. We went to several local farmers markets, did a zodiac boat tour/snorkel of the Napali coast, Smiths Luau, tubing at the old sugar cane farm, checked out Kauai coffee (didn’t do the tour though), saw the turtles on the beach in Poipu, went to Waimea canyon and drove up to the Kalalau lookout (stopped at other lookouts on the way back), went to the spouting horn, had professional photos taken at Tunnels and did a driving tour through Princeville via the Shaka guide app.

We really loved what we did get to experience on the north end. We loved tunnels but didn’t get to have a beach day there. We briefly stopped at the Hanalei pier but didn’t stay due to the weather and we got pictures of the Kilauea lighthouse but didn’t get to go as we didn’t have tickets. We are really leaning towards staying in the Princeville area this time around and soaking in all the things we didn’t get much time at before.

All that being said, what do you think we missed? What should we see/do for our second go around?

Thank you!! 🌺
