10 Outdoor Activities in Kapaa That You Shouldn't Miss

December 19, 2021 Jacquiline Delozier

Kapaa, also spelled Kapa'a, means "solid" in Hawaiian. Travelers find this small town, nestled at the base of Nounou (the Sleeping Giant) Mountain on Kauai tourist friendly with its diverse array of hotels, shopping centers, and restaurants. The Kinipopo Shopping Village is a favorite for its fun eateries and small keepsake shops. Look for the "Kauai Made" logo for products made by local craftsmen using traditional materials. Kappa also offers water sports, including water skiing and kayaking.

Mike and Janie were incredibly helpful and friendly as we were planning activities throughout our trip. I wish everyone we encountered were as wonderful as they were! Their gear is great quality, and they gave us numerous recommendations for snorkel areas, hikes, kayak tips, and other ways to explore the island. So grateful we walked into their shop! Looking forward to coming back the next time we’re in Kauai.

Kauai Path

Reviewed By NicolleZ - Holt, United States

Great for all ages, my sister and parents and I had a wonderful bike ride along the coast. The paved path made for easy riding and there were plenty of pull-offs and scenic overlooks. You might even see a sea turtle or two! The rented bikes had baskets and bells on them. Bring water, sunscreen and a hat!
