[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So you have to be a member to shop at that Kauai Costco?[/quote]

Yes.  I really do love the Costco though!  I’ve been to dozens of costcos across US and Mexico and this is definitely my favorite.  In addition to stuff like beach toys/chairs/towels/swim suiits, and the aforementioned sushi bar, you can get:

Delicious local made Hawaiin sweet bread
Kaui grown coffee
The nicer quality “aloha shirts” (aka Hawaiin shirts)
At least two different Hawaiin brands of chocolate covered macadamia nuts 
Local Hawaiin authored books including kids books
The Hawaiin shortbread cookies
Maui onion potato chips 
The Portuguese sausage that they serve at breakfast often at Hawaiin restaurants

I stock up on stuff to bring home.

Also, if you like sweets, in addition to lappert’s ice cream (so good!), stop by the Kauia chocolate company near port Allen boat harbor.

And for your Napali boat trip, I recommend Makana tours which is the only local family owned operator.  We’ve used them at least twice and they are great.  But definitely book ahead as those napali trips book up.

If you’re brave. Kaui is also probably one of the best places in the world to take a helicopter tour.  I did it a million years ago and it was amazing.  As I get older I’m not sure I’d do it again, but they do run a lot and I guess they never crash?

Each time I go I mean to try to kayaking tours in the river by the waterfalls and we never seem to make it.  But those look like a lot of fun.

Beware that if you hike in the canyon, your shoes may get pretty trashed — it’s often muddy and the dirt is bright red.  So bring a spare set of hiking boots or sneakers or good closed toed tevas that you can just rinse out.  There’s a bunch of different hikes — we did a nice one that was maybe 4 miles round trip but had some elevation gains and losses.  There was a swimming hole with waterfall and then some gorgeous views over the canyon.  That was plenty for us and then we got fish tacos and  shave ice then headed for the beach!  That’s sort of the vibe on Kaui — people are out doing stuff getting sweaty, get sl tasty casual grub, and everything seems to shut down by 9 or 10 so everyone can get up and do it again.
