An Abundance of Activities

Kauai is also famous for its stunning natural attractions, from the majestic Waimea Canyon to the awe-inspiring Napali Coast. And let's not forget about the island's rich culture and history, delicious food, and the warm Aloha spirit of its people.

Kauai is a playground for nature lovers and adventure seekers. Here are some of the island’s top attractions:

Ōpaekaʻa Falls: This stunning waterfall in Wailua River State Park is a must-see.
Wailua River: The only navigable river in Hawaii, the Wailua River is perfect for kayaking and paddleboarding.
Fern Grotto is home to various species of ferns and offers a unique sightseeing experience.
Waimea Canyon: Often referred to as the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific,”
Kōkeʻe State Park: This state park offers some of the best hiking trails in Kauai, with stunning views.
Nāpali Coast: Known for its towering sea cliffs and emerald valleys; explore it by boat or helicopter.
Allerton & McBryde Gardens: These botanical gardens offer s chance to learn about Hawaii’s unique flora.

Hiking on Kauaʻi

Since 90% of Kauaʻi is inaccessible by road, hiking is a great way to see the island's natural splendor first-hand.

On the West Side, Waimea Canyon and Kōkeʻe State Park offer some of the best hiking trails on the island. Spread over 4,325 acres, Kōkeʻe State Park features trails leading to scenic lookouts (like the Awaʻawapuhi Trail) and hikes for the family (Cliff Canyon and Black Pipe Trail).

Hula in the Hawaiian Islands

On its surface, hula is the storytelling dance of the Hawaiian Islands. As with all of Hawaiian culture, when you are fortunate enough to learn more about it, much deeper, more powerful and empowering truths may be revealed. Hula can be paired with chants or contemporary music, slow and sentimental in tempo or fast and energetic. But no matter its style, it is all part of a cultural practice of sharing a trove of stories that connect dancers and audiences to the foundation of Hawaiian ancestral knowledge. Hula animates history, genealogy, prophecy, and the tales of those who came before.

Enjoy the Pools, Lagoon and Spa

With an award-winning multi-level pool, beach access, luxurious spa and fitness center, the Grand Hyatt Kauai is an ideal seaside retreat. Float down the lava-rock-lined lazy river past waterfalls, quiet seating nooks and secret caves or whoosh down the 150-foot waterslide.

Golf at the Popiu Bay Golf Course

Between lush mountains and rugged ocean cliffs on the sunny South Shore of Kauai, Poipu Bay Golf Course boasts 18 championship holes with seashore paspalum greens that are as visually stunning as they are challenging. Designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., Poipu Bay is one of the most highly acclaimed resort courses in the Pacific. As the host course of the ‘94-‘06 PGA Grand Slam of Golf, it has wholeheartedly earned its title of one of America’s finest places to golf. Play where the champions play, and experience the sheer pleasures and daunting challenges this course has to offer.

Kayaking on Kauaʻi

Kauaʻi is home to the only navigable rivers in Hawaiʻi, so kayaking is an integral part of a unique Kauaʻi vacation.

Relax and take in the exquisite scenery as you paddle down the Wailua River. This popular river for kayaking weaves by lush, jungle landscapes along with island’s East Side. Other river routes include the Hulēʻia River from Nāwiliwili Harbor in Līhuʻe, as well as the Hanalei River on the North Shore, the longest on the island.

Captain Andy's Sailing Adventures

Since 1980, Captain Andy's has taken guests on their famously friendly Kauai boat tours along the glorious Na Pali Coast. With experienced Captain and Crew, you'll explore some of Hawaii's most stunning coastline and take in majestic views that can't be found anywhere else. Snorkel with trained guides on the morning tours, or enjoy a delicious meal and drinks on the sunset dinner tours. See dolphins, turtles, whales, and tropical fish. Whether you choose their luxury 65' Star Class Sailing Yachts, the 55' Classic Sailing Catamaran, or the Wet & Wild Raft Expeditions, nobody has more fun!

Mountain Tubing on Kauaʻi

Take to Kauaʻi’s historic waterways in a mountain tube and discover a unique way to access the island's tropical interior.

How to Get to Kauai and Grand Hyatt Kauai

Fly into Kauaʻi’s Līhuʻe Airport (LIH). Many airlines offer direct service to Kauaʻi, or change planes in Honolulu (it's a short 20 minute flight between HNL and LIH).

From Lihu'e airport to the Grand Hyatt (a 30 minute drive): We recommend pre-booking a taxi or rental car. There is a taxi phone at the airport and Uber/Lyft drivers on the island but for a no-wait experience, pre-booking is a good idea. Rental cars are recommended for those who plan on exploring the island and the hotel offers complimentary self-parking for hotel guests. Call the hotel concierge for recommended taxi services.

The Grand Hyatt Kauai is located at 1571 Poipu Rd, Koloa, HI 96756 USA, Phone: 1-808-742-1234
