Getting Around on Kauai

A rental car is the best option for the island of Kauai. Remember, it's called the "Garden Isle" and there is usually enough precipitation during the normal visit to remind you why the vegetation is so lush, green, and abundant. You'll want to explore this green-wonderland and the best way is by rental car. Make sure you reserve your car early!

 

Bus service does not exist and taxi service can be expensive for sightseeing. Mopeds or bikes can be a practical alternative for day excursions around the areas of Koloa and Poipu, where the weather tends to be dryer and the terrain relatively flat. Taxi cabs are possible and they are readily available at the airport. Otherwise, we don't feel that taxis are a good choice for transportation on the Garden Isle.
