North and South shore offer many things to see and do. They are also our favorite areas, but all of Kauai is beautiful and worth exploring. From our experience, North shore is more natural with local shops and mountain views. South shore is more touristy with many more options for restaurants, resorts, and shopping.

Old Koloa Town is a shopping village full of fun shops to explore and great food.
Horseback Riding across a beach known to see marine life sunbathing on.
Busy beach on the south shore that you're almost guaranteed to see sea turtles sunbathing on the beach.
Located on the west side of the island, with stunning views from multiple lookout points.

Large beautiful beach with mountain views.
Restaurants, Hawaiian Shaved Ice, and shops with our favorite coffee shop, Outpost, at the back of Hanalei Market.
Beautiful secluded beach with a steep trail to hike, but worth it!
Botantical garden in the mountains with a stunning drive up if a tour of the garden doesn't interest you, the mountain views alone are incredible.
