Things to do in Kauai, Hawaii (HI): The Best Food & Drink
Relaxing and pristine Kauai (the Garden Island) is the least commercially developed of the Hawaiian islands. Waterfalls, scenic drives and more than 60 beaches dot the landscape. Some beaches have great snorkeling, others offer child-friendly tidal pools and some are perfect for all kinds of water sports. Dry-land activities include hiking the Kalalau Trail on the Na Pali coastline, taking a day trip to Waimea Canyon and experiencing life on a sugar plantation at Grove Farm Homestead Museum.

Wow! This was hands down my favorite part of our entire trip to Kauai, and we did a lot of amazing things!! I absolutely loved how authentic and unique this experience was. We were welcomed onto a private organic farm where we got to learn all about the tropical plants and foods around us. We got to harvest fruit off the tree and veggies right out of the ground, taking them straight to the kitchen. What a special experience! The farm is absolutely stunning. Our teacher knew so much about vegan cuisine and raw vegan lifestlye, the plants. She is also an ayurvedic health coach, which she weaves into the class, especially if you ask. We made SUCH a delicious meal - homemade pesto zoodles, coconut bacon bits, and a decadent raw vegan lime cheesecake for dessert. What more could we ask for?! DEFINITELY do not miss out on this Kauai experience! Bring the whole family! You will not regret it.

This was a great way to spend two hours on a rainy and cloudy afternoon. Our tour guide Kai and driver Leon toured us through the Kilohana Plantation, one of Kauai's hidden gems. Bring your camera to capture pics of the lush vegetation and the farming areas teeming with a wide variety of fruits from avocado to papaya... Our tour guide Kai was incredibly knowledgeable and entertaining. Rum tasting along the way enlightened us about the varieties of Koala Rum and the tour culminated with a yummy mai tai made with fruits of the plantation.

Wish the grill at our vrbo was hotter. Could buy fish in the center and lovely fresh veggies. Alas had to bypass food sellers and just sample white pineapple--extraordinary! And coconut curd. Yum. Lots of vendors, food bites from the local culinary school - which was also the cooking demo tonight - a salad with breadfruit, shrimp and pork belly. Delicious. A must do on Wednesday 330 to 6.

After having visited the island for 25+ years, I finally live here full-time. I have always loved the Fish market and now that I live just minutes away, I come at least once a week for either an ahi or chicken wrap. The food here is so fresh and delicious. I especially enjoy the Tuesday-Wednesday crew. They always make the very best wraps and they always make me smile. Mahalo, to the Kilauea Fish Market for making my day every week, rain or shine. You guys totally rock!
