Borrowed some sets of clubs to play at the Wailua Municipal Course…read more Clubs were okay, lots of nicks and pretty worn grips on several. Bags were in good shape. Checking them out was a lesson in patience. We arrived while another group was getting set up to go snorkeling- and that was a decent wait. The group ahead was very thoroughly trained in their gear down to "here's how you apply sunscreen".....Staff are VERY thorough and the computer system was VERY slow. So don't come in a rush brah. Returning was much quicker and easy peasy.

Let me lead with...this is a MUST do in Kaua'i. Fear or not, this is a very fun, vulnerable and…read moretherapeutic time out in the outdoors to 2 very beautiful waterfalls that you get to both see and repel down. Katie and Matt were phenomenal guides and really created a safe space in what can be deemed as being scary to many. They furthermore create opportunities to bond and celebrate each other through the process of repelling and learning to repel, while knowing their audience and really bringing the perfect hospitality feel. This was well worth the money and the time that they give you out there - they also provide equipment and gear for you at no added cost, which has not been the case at many of the other things that we have done. They also will provide you with choices of how or where you can propel within your comfort and based on skills and teach you how to dry repel prior to actually doing it which really helps with boosting confidence - I was very fortunate and comfortable with being vulnerable and ventured through the waterfall! Cannot guarantee this to anyone, yet it made my experience very memorable and put me into a huge state of humility and peace. We will be back again and I hope it is sooner over later! I hope that people find this review invaluable as well. Cheers, Stephen

My daughter really wanted to do this but I had previous plans so I called them and they…read moreaccommodated her. This is the only people who do repel off of waterfalls, the concierge at our hotel did not even know about them so I made sure and called them and did a little research and booked it. She had to take an Uber and they sent us coordinates which was weird and she ended up walking a bit because it was on private land. The following is her review: Very cool . would do again. They remembered my name and made sure I had pictures and videos taken of me even though I was there by myself. Very encouraging and helpful on the waterfalls on the island. We did zip lining today and she said she like the waterfall repelling better. So I guess I must endorse these guys, next time I will go as well.

Costco is the place to go to reduce the overwhelming costs of inflation. Granted- it is still…read moreexpensive and I have notice my purchased went from $250 a week to $400 plus. Still it is obviously the best place to get the most for your buck. Our location has some distinct qualities that you may want to know before you go. 1) this is a local gathering place, if your expecting a Costco-RAT-Race, like the mainland, think again. People often stop to give hugs and aloha to friends they see, staying to chat in inconvenient areas to tourist (I am totally guilty of this, and I love seeing my friends, students and their families- you just got to send them your "ALOHA") This may be annoying to some people, but it is a way of life here- so just be happy to have a little slice of aloha. 2) they don't always have stock- Tuesdays are a great day to go. Lastly, 3) checking out. If you choose to self-check out... you may be confused. As it stands now, and for a really long time, there is one line to stand in for 3 lanes of check out. Is it logical: no. Does it confuse visitors and even people like me: yes. For some reason, Costco wants all self-checkout folks to stand in one line and then go calmly and orderly to whichever of the 3 checkout lane openings is free. This really confuses visitors, and sometimes even leaves them with stink eye or scoldings from the locals. After all, those who live on Kauai have been trained to the 1 line system. About 1/2 the time, there is a staff that alerts the next person to go to the available self-check out, but where they are not there, or need to assist someone with self-checkout or review and ID for alcohol: they are not there. I am really not sure why they have kept this single line system, rather than having 3 lines, but I guess there must be some reason for this. Does anyone know? 4) Please be kind to the staff, offer some aloha to them- Q, Carry and Deb are some of my favorite folks. Costco always tolerates me coming in costume as Darth Vadar and Princess Leia. This Costco is part of the aloha experience- please treat it with love. ***** If you are an executive member- this Costco is opening earlier for you! Make sure you check the times, this Saturday they opened at 8:45am and weekdays they open at 9am for the Executive Members. Enjoy and alooooha!

The ones I've been using for years were so scratched up and beat up they looked like they've been ran over and buried for a spell... it was time for a upgrade. Off the bat, I can tell you that Crane supports VSP, which is a big plus because "Pacific Eye Center" does not! You'll easily spend over $500 for a nice pair @ Pac. Eye center... The selection here is great! It's catered to Kauai's unique clientele. They had all the good brands! Ray ban, Oakley, Maui Jim to name a few. So much selection- it took me a while to choose. Staff is super friendly and courteous! The whole office staff helped me choose the best sunglasses for work, play and special occasions- I liked the selection so much, I bought 3 pairs! I will be returning here for all my prescription eyewear needs for sure. 5 stars for the staff, service and selection!

I have had a very difficult time getting a great prescription over the past few decades, and as a result I've had some difficulties with my progressive lenses performing well, until now. I'm so incredibly happy with my new prescription and the lenses that I had created through Dr Gandia's office, I had to tell you all about it. A few years earlier I had a very thorough exam, prescription and lenses created by another very well respected optometrist in Lihue, at the cost of about $200 more, and they were not as accurate or as perfectly focused as these new eye glass lenses that Dr Gandia and her great staff have now created for me.
