Armen and Lori's Kauai Guide

So you're headed to Kauai! You're going to love it. But don't you wish you had some friends who could tell you their favorite things on Kauai? Well, imagine we're sitting down with a glass of wine or a cup of coffee and chatting about how to make your trip to Kauai awesome. That's how we want our guide to feel.We're from Seattle, but we've visited Kauai many times - we've almost lost count! We even lived there for a few months. Each time we visit Kauai we enjoy trying new things, seeing new places, and asking locals for their suggestions. Our visits always include a mix of familiar favorites and delightful new surprises. We take our best experiences and put them into this guide for you.For a comprehensive guidebook, we recommend The Ultimate Kauai Guidebook (UKG) by Andrew Doughty. It's a great reference with tons of good information and accurate directions. But it's a lot to absorb. Use our book to focus on our shorter, personal list of great stuff. We have specific recommendations that aren't in the UKG, and we have a different opinion on a few things too.We cover restaurants, beaches, shopping, hikes & walks, activities, car rentals and driving tips - everything you need to know to have a great time on Kauai. We try to make our guide personal and fun.We hope you enjoy our guide and your trip to Kauai!Aloha,Armen and Lori
