Sueoka's--same name as when I was there in 1980.

Thanks for sharing:) Super high quality video

Awesome video!

Mahalo for this video. I plan on making that one of my first stops after landing.

I just watched (Sep. 2024) your videos ( 9 episodes ) of you travelling around the Island. I loved it! I have visited there many many years ago and now my son and his fiancee just moved there a few months ago. You got me so excited to come back.

Kooks

I was just there and the restrooms are open now.

During C19? wow.

Could you make a video tour of Grand Hyatt resort? Got hooked on your videos. Please keep up the great work! 👍🤙

I survived Iniki in 1993. Had you been there at that time, you would understand why they are still working on the bridge. The inquiry you should really make is why Kaua'i never learns its lesson and does not bury its electrical lines. They had opportunities after 1993, they had opportunities going all the way back to 1982 after Iwa. Ask somebody about that.

Where's the best place for shore fishing? Deep water, no reef? Want to catch Papio.

Wow, just like when we were there October 2023. First time to Hawaii. Loved it, we will be back. We stayed at Plantation Hale Suites, next to the Coconut Market. Mahalo.

We were looking to move there as a family, and asked about it in a facebook group, and it's basically a pig-pile of people condemning us for wanting to move there due to the housing shortage. Did you find it hard when you moved there? Like getting a lot of hate.

Our old family beach house from the 50's was there somewhere (toward middle of the bay), spent many summer vacations there. Grew up on Oahu, grad high school on Big Island and UH Manoa. 4th generation island family going back to Great Grandparents but moved away late 70's for better opportunities. Hawai'i will always be home!

Had the best fried kalua pork loco moco at that restaurant on the 2nd floor looking out onto the road. It was ono.

This was so cool because you showed the VRBO that we stayed at on Kauai in 2019. It was the white building on the corner of the street when you turned down to visit that last little beach. We were in the bottom and had a little lanai under the carport. Every morning we came out and had our tea and watched the chickens. They weren't going to rent it out much longer because a family member was going to move into the space. Then they would have 3 or 4 generations living in the house which is not unusual in Hawaii where local families tend to try to hang on to their homes as generations move in and out. I'm sure that would never be able to afford a place like that so close to the beach if they were to try to buy it today. Sweet memories.

hi does the Wailua river flood if so how many foot have you seen it rise? also do they have trach pickup and how much a month? thanks for your great videos

Is there any public restrooms there

I lived in Princeville 20 years ago when you could still rent a studio condo for $1K a month. I loved Hanalei so much I named my Japanese daughter Hanalei.

Lol i wonder what a Hawaiin jail looks like 😅😂

We stayed in Kapa’a a couple weeks ago and loved it. My favorite place I have ever been.

I lived on the island when Iniki hit.

The sand on Hanalei beaches is so soft to walk on, really nice.

I haven't been here since 2013, I spent a lot of time on Kauai between 2001 and 2008. It looks like somethings have changed around the pier since the big flooding episodes of the last 8 years. I love this island, it is so beautiful.

Kealea is never very busy because there is no shade, it is more of a surfers beach as the water is rough. Truly lovely to look at though.

Finding housing on any Hawaiian island is difficult, you need lots of money

Brings back memories of my wife's and mine honeymoon 34 years ago

hiya thanks for the video. Could you perhaps also drive to the Waimea area some day? Would love to see it there

I'm curious why the owner changed the name to "The Plantation House"?

Please tell us more about your radio experience and or what station you are associated with. I’d like to follow you on other platforms too.

Enjoy your commentary! You have the best voice too. Very enjoyable and informative. Thank you for making this. Hope you make lots more!

Enjoyed this video. Thank you for making it. Seeing parts of Kauai via you and your channel make me want to return.

How diud you get through Kapaa so quickly, where's the traffic? 50 mph with no stops, come on?

Where are the roosters 🐓 and chickens 🐔

Thank you

X said Teichman was diving when he died. He never came up. Anybody know what happened to Teichman or Chris S ?

Been going to Kauai since 1992 (missed Iniki by six weeks) and have made this drive many times - we have a timeshare at Pono Kai in Kapaa and love the town - it's not fancy like Princeville but has a character all its own, and

Better take a pocket full of money

Kendall, thank you for the nice ride-along to the falls ...

I just came back! Loved this tour. Can't wait to return!

I love this video , thanks

Thank you for your videos. My wife and I really enjoy them. You have a terrific mix of good information, humor, and a terrific voice. Would you happen to know where we can rent bicycles in Kapa’a? The Hele On rentals doesn’t open until 11:00 a.m. and Coconut Coasters looks like it has gone out of business. We’re looking for something earlier in the morning and my internet searches haven’t turned up anything.

I went today and it was amazing!

Love Gaylord's. Rum tasting and at the time having lunch a fashion show was going on. It's a must when going to Kauai...🤙

Absolutely beautiful. Thinking about spending my final days, living in Kauai.

I always thought it was interesting that there are only three ABC stores on Kauai and that two of them are in Kapa'a (only 1 mile apart). (The other is in Lihue;.) You'd think they'd have put one in either Princeville or Hanalei. Or even in Koloa or Hanapepe. (Or that there'd be TWO in Lihue and ONE in Kapa'a.)

You might have mentioned the Pono Market (12:07). One of the most important shopping stops in Kapa'a for everything from poke to kulolo.

7:02 "If you're going north, the water will always be on your right. That's how islands work." Exactly. Unless you're on the west coast. Then it's on the left. Or in the north. Then it's in front of you. Of course you might also be in the south. Then the water is behind you. And THAT'S (really) how islands work.

Really enjoyed the video. I was in Kauai in 2016 for 8 wonderful days. What you are doing is precious. I certainly went down memory lane. Planning on coming back in 2024 with God’s Will.

Thank you for such awesome, utilitarian videos. One can find a thousand videos of major visitor sites, but yours provide real, practical insight on a fundamental topic…what it’s like navigating the island. Thanks!!!🐬🌴
