+JesandTodd Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Have you ever been there before? What about your activity level or terrain max? Quote Link to comment
+JesandTodd Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 The favs that I've done: (and their general location...NSEW) GCHNKC Silent watchers of the Wailua river (E) Fantastic location, beautiful scenery both at cache site and view GC1H94W Waimea Canyon Earthcache (W) Can't miss the Grand Canyon of the pacific GCBFE8 Whale Watching at Ninini Point (E) Easy find, but it's another beautiful viewpoint GCT4KX Glassbeach (SW) Strange location is a somewhat industrial area, but c'mon, the beach is made up of baby broken glass bits!!! GCVC8Q (KPL) Travel Bug Exchange (E) What a cool TB hotel! Open during bankers hours... GC1Q5FQ Wailua Falls (Erosional/Depositional Geology) (E) The plane, the plane! You gotta do this one and see the fantasy island falls. Plus, it's practically a park&grab... GC20V59 Sabrina's Lookout (W) Even better views of waimea canyon GC23Q29 Hygrocybe noelokelani (E) Just a cool cache with petroglyphs, and another nice view GC281D Wedding Bells (W) Another fantastic view, but you get to scramble around here... What I wanted to do but didn't have the courage/strength/willpower/time GC146Q9 Tunnel #1 GCHH2F The Other Way To Hanalei GC2KV3V The Na Pali Coast from the Ocean GC17JQP Makaha Madness Mind if I toss you a few recommendation on food? Tropical dreams ice cream (kilauea video and ice cream, on the way to the Kilauea lighthouse) the most fantastical ice cream on earth. You'll dream about it long after you've gone, and the owner, Dan, is a hoot!! Every single ingredient is local to the islands. Brilliant. Hamuras saimin. How good is Hamuras? It's Saimen is literally the wallpaper on my iPad. I can't recommend it enough. I would say go around 1030 or after 1p. It's VERY popular with the locals and there's not much room during their peak hrs. If you do go on the 'off' hours the place will be all yours. Please, if you go, no matter how full you are, get a slice of the lilikoi chiffon pie! OMG! They have beef sticks and chicken, and honestly the chicken is superb. The 'regular' sized Saimen is plenty big and, since I'm ordering everything for you, go with the flow and get the local Red Diamond strawberry soda! Also, the beach house restaurant is somewhat of a right of passage. Try to get a table at sunset, and this is one of the few places you should get a reservation for just before you leave. Casa di Amici in Poipu. Seriously, it's a restaurant with a focus on risottos. Fantastic! I wouldn't leave that island without multiple visits for Saimen and ice cream! We got married in Kauai (Moloa'a Bay) and I've been a bunch of times, plus have had family there for years. If you have any other questions, let me know! Quote Link to comment
