So it has been many many years since The Mrs. HCP and myself have been on a vacation without the kids, and that is all changing next week. We are heading to the north shore of Kauai. Got a little house on stilts a few hundred yards from the ocean and a Jeep.

Was wondering if some of you guys have been there and would take any and all recommendations. From food, to hikes, tours, etc. Thanks - THE HCP

Haha, that's funny. Wife and I hitting Maui next weekend. Better see your ass on the "Wear in the world" segment.

Enjoy your trip HCP. 80's all week next week.
 
Copter tour is cool. Word to the wise: don't drink sunny delight beforehand.

If your going to Hanalei Bay, don't sweat it. Take it easy and get in the groove. You will love it, the kids too.

If you are going to Scarborough Fair:
Remember me to one who lives there.
She once was a true love of mine.

Well, not even a romantic island and waterfalls and rainbows will help me with that!

Where you're going you can have your aura cleansed by a hippie woman who probably doubles as a sex therapist....tip well
 
Don't know if you are a swimmer but I recommend snorkeling while you're there....great experience..
 
I recommend trying poki.....marinated raw fish salad ...awesome in the islands.
 
The seafood is fresh as can be, and most places have good chefs. We ate very well all day, every day.

Aside from fast food, the luau food is the only lame eats on the island, and maybe worth it for the ceremony and history lesson if done well.

Waimea Canyon is beautiful, but you need to drive up there before sunrise as the top end fogs in very quickly.

Kayaking the Wailua River to the falls was fun.

Limahuli Garden tour was cool, saw the Clintons there. https://www.google.com/maps/place/L...b2ba6ef8f704858!8m2!3d22.219842!4d-159.576019
 
the locals love chiclets. have your kids sell them to them for 10 cents a box. they are too proud to accept them for free.
 
What about traditional plate lunch..... I plan on taking the wife out to some fancy places, but we like the mom and pop type places for sure. Chicken Katsu for example..... Looking for those kind of places.

Yes, I'm sure Hawaii has Denny's but I doubt they have Sizzler.
 
Anybody take a helicopter tour over there?

I have a long time ago. It was cool until I puked on the helicopter. I radioed the pilot. He said, did you use the "barf bag?" I said "what barf bag?" (there was a ziploc bag in the front envelope, how was I supposed to know that was a barf bag???) The helicoptor then speeded up and returned to base post haste. They hosed it out while the next family waited patiently. We then drove back to our hotel and passed "Spouting Horn", which is pretty cool. I think I said, "I was a spouting horn!"

But, the na pali coast and the scenes where they shot Jurassic Park were pretty cool.
