Are you planning a fun kid-friendly Hawaiian vacation for your family and looking for the best things to do in Kauai with kids? Then, this is the perfect post for you.
Waimea Canyon State Park is one of the best things to do in Kauai for free if you have a Hawaii driver's license or ID. But it's $5 per person for non-residents, and children three and under get in free. You can even get a guided tour.
Many visitors have said Hanalei Bay is one of the most beautiful places on the earth. I have been to many beaches in Hawaii, and I have to say, Hanalei Beach is one of the best I've ever been to. Plus, you can go surfing, paddle boarding, bodyboarding, body surfing, and more.
You won't want to miss a boat tour of the Nāpali Coast coastline as it's one of the best things to do in Kauai with kids. You'll see porpoises and dolphins, and the crews will share bits about the history and culture of Hawaii along the way. There are several boat tours that include snorkeling.
Your family trip to Kauai would not be complete without a visit to the Wailua Falls. It's most recognized for its appearance in the opening credits of the TV show Fantasy Island. The trail to the falls is easily accessible, and you don't even need hiking boots, but it is a 3-mile hike.
The Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge is one of the best places to see wildlife like spinner dolphins, Hawaiian monk seals, birds, native Hawaiian coastal plants, and more. Don't forget to check out the 100-year-old Kilauea Lighthouse.
