The boat was very clean and probably the nicest boat here in Lihue. Caught a huge 250lb marlin and what an experience. I will absolutely go out with them again when we come back. The guys are super friendly and easy to talk with. If you want to go fishing this is the place. Thanks for an adventure none of us will ever forget.

I just paid the observer fee and was the official photographer. (I recommend a sealed camera case around your neck). We launched out of Nawilliwilli Harbor. It was just our family and another couple on the small boat. I think there were about 8 rods in the water. John and Joe were the very chill captain and crew. We also saw a whale jump out of the water! Beautiful day! Highly recommended for those who want a relaxing, chill, fishing experience - not a touristy event. These guys were mellow and experienced fishermen. Not talkative but helpful- which I appreciated. Be aware that the sea was very rough. If you get sea sick, this isn't for you! The other couple on board spent the whole time upchucking overboard. We love the sea, so it was perfect for us. Our teens loved it because they love outdoor adventures. But young kids and feint of heart might want to pass. We were on rough water for 4 hours!

Ahukini Recreation Pier State Park

Ahukini Recreational Pier State Park is located about a 5-minute drive northeast along the sea from…read moreLihue Airport. When you go down the slope, you can see a parking lot (like a place). You can park for free, but I felt that the security was quite bad. After all, as soon as I stopped the car, a woman came out of a car and came to sell something in a small bag. Of course I refused, but my husband said, "It's probably drugs." After having such an experience right after arriving, I was quite worried about walking around, so I finished walking early within sight of our car and returned to the car. I really wanted to take a longer and more relaxed walk if I had time. The atmosphere of the pier was as if it had traveled back in time; the pier looked old and almost decayed. According to what I heard, the first people who discovered Hawaii landed here. There was an old lighthouse on the other side of the pier, but it is not certain whether it is still fulfilling its role. Unfortunately, I can't review detailed information about this place at this time, but I want you to take safety measures if you visit here. While we were away from the car for a short time, a Kauai county sheriff's car came on patrol, so I was a little relieved. But I think it's easy to target small groups of Japanese people in this secluded area, so please practice crime prevention when you leave the car; don't forget to prevent theft. It is a peaceful state park with a long history where anglers enjoy fishing leisurely, but it is certainly dangerous because it is difficult to see from the public road. If we have a chance to visit there next time, we would like to send you updated reviews after taking safety measures. アフキニ・リクリエーショナル・ピア州立公園は、リフエ空港から海沿いに北東へ車で5分程度走った所にあります。坂を下り切ると駐車場(らしき場所)が見えます。無料で駐車出来ますが、かなり治安が悪そうに感じました。何しろ車を止めた途端に一台の車から女性が出て来て小さな袋に入った何かを売りに来ました。もちろん断りましたが夫は「おそらくドラッグだろう」と言って居ました。到着直後にそんな体験をしたので、周辺の散策もかなり不安で、自分達の車が見える範囲で早々と散策を済ませて車に戻りました。本当は時間があったらもっとゆっくりと散策したかったです。 pierの雰囲気はまるでタイムスリップした様な佇まいで、桟橋も古くて殆ど朽ちて見えました。聞く所によると、ハワイ先住民達がここに流れ着いたらしいです。桟橋の向こうには古い灯台が有りましたが、今でも役目を果たして居るのかどうかは定かでは有りません。今回は残念ながら、この場所についての詳しい情報のレビューは出来ませんが、皆さんが此処を訪れる場合は先ずは安全対策をして欲しいと伝えたかったのです。我々が短時間車を離れて居る間にKauaiの郡保安官(Sheriffs)の車が警備に来たので少し安心しましたが、日本人だけの少人数のグループなどは狙われ易いと思いますので、車から離れる時はくれぐれも防犯、盗難対策を忘れないで下さい。のんびりと釣り人が魚釣りを楽しむ、歴史ある平和な州立公園ですが、一般道から降りた所で人目につき難い場所にあるので危険であることは確かです。我々も次回そこを訪れるチャンスが有れば、安全対策を立てた上で皆さんにアップデートしたレビューをお届けしたいと思います。

Aside from the long history of a former shipping port, this is where my mom and dad would come to fish, pick opihi, crabbing, etc. while growing up in the 1970's-80's. Childhood days aside, Ahukini is a great place to take a lunch break with a boxed lunch. Part of the fun is watching planes climb after take off. Planes are still low enough to get a great photo against the tropical sky. Since these photos where taken, my mother had passed in October of 2022. So, yeah...lot of good memories here.

Wailua Falls offered an incredibly close view, which made the experience feel special. I was able to truly appreciate the waterfall's beauty up close. One fun highlight was spotting a rooster sitting right near the edge, which was such a classic Kauaʻi island moment because roosters are everywhere on the island. I also noticed a touching memorial sign dedicated to Kavika Luna, "Mr. Aloha" - The Flying Hawaiian (May 1960 - September 2024). The message spoke about rainbows appearing as he chanted and the magic of Wailua Falls coming alive. It felt meaningful because I actually caught a mini rainbow during my visit, which made the moment even more breathtaking and memorable. Overall, I was very pleased with this stop. Wailua Falls is absolutely worth checking out for its natural beauty and history.

Located at the end of Maalo Road, this beautiful double waterfall cannot be safely or legally…read moreaccessed due to the notoriously steep, muddy, and very slick unmaintained trail down. But you can however view it safely from the designated roadside lookout. The parking lot here, although free, is very small and often filled to the brim with cars. The lot itself is also in desperate need of maintenance as it is filled with potholes, so getting in and out may be tricky. There are also vendors who fill up the front part of this lot, which further add to the chaos. Located in a sacred royal valley once known as the capital of Kauai, ancient Hawaiian chieftains and warriors use to test their bravery by leaping from the top of this nearly 200ft tall waterfall. There's not a lot to do once you get up to the top of the lookout except to snap a few photos. So it is debatable if it is worth the drive all the way out to here and dealing with the whole parking lot situation.
