Aloha Friends,

With four kids this is definitely something I have experience with....how to have fun on Kauai with keiki! Here's a list of things sure to bring a smile to your kiddos....

1 Kamalani Bridge Playground at Lydgate beach park. Seriously one of the best playgrounds for at least 3,000 miles. It's nice to pack a picnic, go there early in the day, then spend the afternoon at Lydgate beach. Make a day out of it.

2 Go to Lydgate beach. Two huge boulder enclosed ponds allow fresh ocean water in but, big waves out. This is an excellent beach to swim and snorkel at. It's like swimming in an aquarium, lots of sea life to see here. The beach is lifeguarded and has full facilities.

3 Kayak the Wailua river and hike to Secret Falls. You can inexpensively rent kayaks and paddle your way up the Wailua river. A 1 mile hike through the jungle will lead you to a beautiful 100 foot waterfall that lands into a large pool of water.

4 Stop by the Kamokila Hawaiian Village for an education on ancient Hawaiian life and culture. See how Hawaiians lived centuries ago on the land they lived. For movie buffs, the village was used in the movie "Outbreak".

5 Rent a bike and ride the path. The Kauai Path is currently about 7 miles long. It begins at Lydgate beach park and ends just north of Kealia beach. What a fun way to tour Kauai's east side!

6 Check out Kauai Mini Golf in Kilauea. It's a combination miniature golf course and lush botanical  garden. Fun for everyone!
7 Who doesn't love chocolate? There is a chocolate farm tour on Kauai. Steel grass Farm is the island's largest chocolate farm. 3 days a week they offer a branch to bar tasting tour....yummy!

8 Go fishing! You do not need a fishing license for saltwater fishing anywhere in Hawaii. Pick up a pole and gear cheaply and spend a day waiting for that big catch! It's so exciting to get a fish! Feel good releasing him back to the ocean if he's not of size or if your unsure about how to prepare him.

9 Learn to surf! Some of the best big wave surfers start in Kauai! Your keiki can too. There are plenty of surf schools on Kauai to choose from. They all offer a fun filled day with the thrill of riding a wave and teach safety and respect of the ocean.

10 Explore a farmer's market. The Kauai Community College farmer's market has lots of tropical fruit and vegetables. Try something new. You can also purchase a liitle friend from Kauai Bettas to take home. Liz of Kauai Bettas is one of the top betta fish breaders in the world. She's happy to share her knowledge of fish care with you. Betta fish are easy to transport through TSA for your flight home.

Most importantly, enjoy your vacation with your children. Relax and don't try to do too much.

Aloha!
