Top Family-Friendly Adventures on Kauai

Kauai is the perfect island for families who want a healthy mix of downtime and adventure—though we’re partial to the adventure side of things. Take a boat tour along the Na Pali Coast (or a helicopter ride above it) for a chance to see waterfalls and sea caves from afar, or enjoy kayaking trips down the Hanalei River that are manageable for kids. Then visit botanical gardens and fruit farms, and end the day with an exciting luau show with dinner. Even with plenty of activities, Kauai’s relaxed pace means you can plan half or full days without feeling rushed, giving the whole family time to soak in the scenery and explore together.
