You can see & do so much in Kauai in just 3 days

If you’re like me you often hear that Kauai is the best of the Hawaiian Islands-the must see island. And that it takes a full week or more really do it justice. But if you don’t have that kind of time, you can see most of the highlights in just three days, and I’ll show you how I did just that. I'll show you here I stayed, ate, hiked, drove, kayaked, sailed and what I love most about this spectacular, easy to navigate, friendly Hawaiian Isle.
This video is specific, detailing my three-day itinerary. It's intended to give you an idea of how much you can see in do in just a few days on Kauai. I am not paid to endorse or promote any of the companies I recommend in this video. I had good experiences with them. But that doesn’t guarantee you will. Guides, meals and weather conditions vary. Do your research. Read reviews. And then don’t second guess your decisions. In paradise there’s no time for that.
If you find it helpful, subscribe to my channel, Newsocracy. You’ll find other Hawaii videos there, including Pearl Harbor, Surfing 101, Zip Lining Maui and many more.
As always, apologies for any mispronounced Hawaiian words. It’s a beautiful language, I wish I spoke it better. I’m Jim Albritton, mahalo for watching.

I would recommend a boat tour of the Na Pali coast departing from the North shore instead of the South shore. When you depart from the South shore you see a lot of coastline that is NOT the Na Pali coast while on your way to see what you paid for. Boat tours from the South shore often don't get to reach the northernmost regions of the Na Pali coast before they have to turn around. If you depart from the north you see it all.

Thank you for your tip ❤

I was born and raised on Kauai. Went to St. Catherine's in Kapaa, then Kauai High School. I - and my family - have gone back quite a few times, first to visit family, and as we grew older we just stayed at a condo in Princeville. Two of my aunts lived across the road from Hanalei Beach, near the pier , so we spent many summers there staying with them for a couple of weeks. I really enjoyed the video and wanted to express my thanks. My daughter and her family are going to Princeville later this year.

[@newsocracy]

Thanks so much, Edward. You made my day. I envy your time there. What a beautiful place.

[@laurenmaier8742]

Wow! This posting is so informative and enjoyable. I appreciate that, I’m coming over Sept 2023

[@mandujanojuan437]

Tunnel of trees was sweeet. Went through it every day for 2months

[@briantravelman]

I didn't think it was anything special. We have plenty of these in CA, that no one considers tourist attractions

[@mandujanojuan437]

@@briantravelman the history behind it... and everything on this island is special. Like you said California is just California.

[@ThePittas]

My wife and I are going to stay in princeville next week. First time in Hawaii

[@newsocracy]

You'll have a great time. The first of many to come.

[@lindab2323]

Very nice coverage of what you were able to see in just 3 days. We have been 3 years in a row for 10 days each, and still feel like there is a lot to see!! The only thing I would have for SURE done differently was your sunset on the beach. To miss the sea turtles at Brennecke Beach is a huge mistake!!! Thank you for sharing.

[@newsocracy]

I'm the opposite of the turtle whisperer. I've never seen them anywhere I've gone to look, including Turtle Bay Resort. In the video, the snorkeling portion of the Napali tour, they were said to be there. I saw nothing. Oddly, very large fresh water turtles do somehow get through an iron fence and into my pool at home. I have to be on a beach at sunset at least once. I wish I'd been there all three days. Thanks for watching!

[@smparkin9290]

From what I’ve researched this is a great itinerary to see many of the awesome sites of Kauai. I’ll be saving this video. Mahalo!

[@newsocracy]

Glad it's helpful. Thanks for watching.

[@neochaser]

Great production and narration!

[@juju35888]

Thanks a lot! I will be using your tips and suggestions on my trip to Kauai next month! So excited

[@newsocracy]

I’m so glad you find it useful. Thanks for letting me know. You’ll have a great time in Kauai.

[@laurenmaier8742]

Great video! Very informative. I’m going to Kauai for 10 days Sept 23. Thx

[@newsocracy]

Thanks very much, Lauren. You're going to have a great time.

[@dennisclark8766]

I've watched hundreds of videos about Kauai, this was the best! Thank you for sharing.

[@newsocracy]

Thanks very much, Dennis! I wanted to make something that would be useful to me, a first-time visitor to Kauai. Something not personality centered, more detailed and comprehensive. So glad you like it. Jim

[@caussice5187]

Couldve went on the jurassic park helicopter tour to that amazing waterfall

[@TwilightZone96761]

Great pronunciations!! Great secret foe singles….you can get a great deal on helicopters….it is a MUST do…..the boat ride is a must do as well. Nice video work

[@newsocracy]

Thanks! I love Hawaii and it’s language, but I struggle with the latter. I’ve flown single several times on the Big Island and over Molaka’i. I’ll be sure to fly Kauai next time. Thanks for the kind words!

[@aimeecabral-gonzalez6628]

Thank you for this video... Its so informative, well organized and well narratated. Ive watched many, but most from young, active individuals with lots of hiking...we are not so young anymore, so I was doubting there would be much for us to do...your experiences fit out expectations. Please can you add a link on your airbnb or some in the surrounding area, it fits our bill. Thank you again.

[@newsocracy]

Thanks Aimee! So glad it is helpful. Like you I'm less interested in beautiful young people running on beaches in slow motion than actual ideas and details that help me plan my trip. Here's the airbnb link: www.airbnb.com/rooms/23541588?guests=1&adults=1&s=67&unique_share_id=66055398-9bc0-4cbd-812a-5e5ac6d07e62. The host has two places there and there are several other hosts renting in that complex. I've been to Hawaii many times, but this was my first time to Kauai. You won't be disappointed. Very easy to get around and I don't think anything I did would qualify as "hiking."

[@user-em6pi8nj8c]

Thank you for beautiful guide to Kauai HEAVEN !

[@trustjesus9881]

Thank you for the video!! I am going there solo in September, I will also be visiting Waimea canyon and doing the kayak/hiking tour of the Wailua River. Thanks for the tips.

[@newsocracy]

Glad it was helpful. You're going to have a great time there. It is one of the best places I've been to for solo travel. At no point do you feel like the odd one out.

[@aznblade11]

Great video, with crisp and concise information,

[@newsocracy]

Thanks so much!

[@MotownGuitarJoe]

Viewers, I would definitely add Poipu Beach! It's the best looking beach on the island and the nightly sea turtle show is great.

[@newsocracy]

I'll be sure to see it next time I'm there. Thanks!

[@VijiShiva96]

Really informative indeed. We are staying in kuai for 4 days and it helped readjust and confirm our plans. Thanks much

[@newsocracy]

So happy to hear that. Glad it was useful to you. You'll have a great time on Kauai.

[@CCreedUT]

I love this. Thank you so much for sharing. I wish everyone put together their videos so well.

[@newsocracy]

Thanks so much, Chris. When I was planning my trip there, I couldn't find anything that gave me a good idea of where to go and how to plan. So I produced this. Thanks for letting me know you like it.

[@cottagefulloflove4090]

Really a great video!! Thanks!

[@newsocracy]

Thanks so much, Taylor. I wanted to produce something I'd find useful as a traveler. Very kind of you to comment.

[@rimasmeleshyus9486]

Aloha ! I m 40 years living in Hawaiian islands 🏝 The best place on the planet

[@newsocracy]

Agreed. And lucky you!

[@jscarpa2002]

Awesome video! Thank You!

[@thefarns8574]

Great video. Your presentation and information are superb! Out of curiosity, what time of year were you there?

[@newsocracy]

I was there February 2022, about this same time. It’s an easy island to explore. You’ll have a great time.

[@noodlebean3045]

I’m from kaua’i :D and it’s a beautiful place. That you can visit

[@desertrose9499]

Awesome!!!

[@MelMelOyama]

My home❤️ born and raised in Kapaa moved away in 2018

[@monkyonbike]

thanks Albinotron

[@johnfaulders9880]

I know Kauai is where Jurassic Park was filmed!!

[@pennyking3823]

3 days? u just get settled in!

[@newsocracy]

Well, you know some people island hop their first time. So the video is intended to give them an idea of what they can do with a short stay. Thanks for watching it.
