Kauai is often a favorite of the Hawaiian islands, given its range in landscape, geography and activities. Outside of the capital of Līhue, there are four main regions - the East Side, the North Shore, the South Shore and the West Side. This guide will include activities and recommendations for the East, North and South. While the regions are easy to travel between, we recommend staying on the island for at least one week to really explore them all.

Explore this map, I made as the ultimate Hawaii guide, to get inspired and discover the places that will become the highlight of your next trip. Many of the places in this map will have helpful booking links and/or links to social media posts with more inside information. I see all my Guide Maps as perpetual works in progress and will do my best to add to and update them as my knowledge expands.

After spending a week exploring and eating around Kauai, these were a few of my favorite spots! This list is by no means comprehensive and includes where I've eaten (marked as "Visited") as well as places I wanted to eat but didn't make it to (covered under "Other Recs!") Whether you’re looking for lighter fare or a more substantial meal - this guide has it all! Full Kauai Guide coming soon 🌺
