Getting Around Kauai

The best way to get around the island of Kauai is by car. If you plan to explore the island, renting a car is best. This will allow you to tour Hanalei Town and spend the next day exploring Waimea Canyon and Kokee State Park. Shuttles and Guided Tours are also available, though stops will be limited.

Some of the lush interiors of the island are only accessible by air, so you may find yourself taking a sightseeing sky adventure by helicopter or small plane. Don’t miss the chance to travel by foot on Kauai’s magnificent hiking trails or vast, trackless beaches.

Public transportation via the Kauai bus, Taxi, and Ride Share Apps is an alternative way to explore Kauai.
