What to do and see in Lihue, Hawaii (HI): The Best Things to do Good for a Rainy Day
Lihue, Kauai's capital city, is also served by the island's only airport, making it the most popular port of entry to Kauai and a hub of industry on this small island. However, Lihue retains its island charm and emerald beauty despite its urbanization. Spend the day sunbathing and dipping into the temperate waters at Kalapaki Beach before enjoying a luau at Kilohana Plantation. Step out of town to witness breathtaking Wailua Falls cascading over tiered stone to a drop of 80 feet.

BY APPOINTMENT ONLY! "The Best Massage in Kauai"! About Us: HOME BASED BUSINESS. With private massage studio and waiting room and ample private parking. Our business was officially established in Kauai, Hawaii in 1994 after completing massage certification program. My knowledge of healing arts goes back to my childhood in the Philippines where my grandfather of Chinese descent taught me the ancient art of Hilot combined with Chinese techniques which he inherited from the old country. I attended healing arts and massage school in Manila, where I graduated with top honors and worked in some of the major spas before leaving for Hawaii where I established my own private business in the Island of Kauai. I use very unique techniques which I learned from my grand father and my very own that I have developed throughout the years. Thanks. Mylene Lic# Mat3710

Words cannot describe well enough just how special Mylene is and her gift as a healer. I would say be ready for an intense first 1/2 hour or so if you are especially tight in areas, but hang in there... It is worth getting to the other side it! I am a former LMT myself and this is just the kind of session I would hope to give my clients. This is my 3rd time and it was absolutely sensational! Mahalo Mylene!

Located in Lihue, this was our ‘home away from home’ church. It’s a beautiful open church. A small grotto replica reminds of the Lourdes connection when Mary told Bernadette ‘I am the Immaculate Conception’, thus letting the more educated of the time know that Bernadette was telling the truth. Church had open windows & doors that let in the warm Hawai’i wind & flower perfume. The locals were wonderful & welcoming. They asked visitors to stand for a blessing. They gave us each a seashell necklace too. It’s on a steep drive in. They announced future construction plans, beginning of 2020. Wonderful place of worship!

Michelle and Midori are the BEST masseuses ever! They do Lomi Lomi, Awapuhi, the most famous: Nifty 50 (50 minutes for $50), facials. They must do other things, but that's all I've paid attention to . One of the favorites Nifty 50 is a mixture of" neck, shoulders, and reflexology. Lomi Lomi massage and warm heated basalt stones applied to neck and shoulders.." "Finishing up with a coconut Lime and volcanic foot scrub combined with hand and foot reflexology, warm heated basalt stones applied to overused feet to melt tension away." Michelle is a true healer. I come away feeling lighter and cured.
