A paved multi-use path along the east coast of Kauai stretching about 4 miles from Lydgate Beach to Kapaa town and beyond. The path hugs the coastline with ocean views the entire way and passes beaches, parks, and the Kapaa town shops and restaurants. Bike rentals are available near the path. Kids love cruising along the oceanfront and stopping at beaches along the way. The path is flat and smooth, perfect for family biking. Whale watching from the path is excellent in winter. This is the most scenic bike ride in all of Hawaii.

Known as the Grand Canyon of the East with a 17-mile gorge up to 600 feet deep carved by the Genesee River with three major waterfalls. The park has 66 miles of trails but the must-do walks are the short paths to the Middle Falls and Upper Falls overlooks which are accessible even for toddlers. The 107-foot Middle Falls is one of the most photographed waterfalls in the state. Hot air balloon rides over the gorge are available in summer and fall. The park also has a pool, cabins, campgrounds, and an inn.

Known as the Grand Canyon of the Pacific, this 14-mile long canyon drops over 3600 feet and is striped with layers of red, brown, and green. Multiple lookout points along the canyon rim road offer stunning views without any hiking. For families who want to explore on foot, the Iliau Nature Loop is a flat 0.3-mile trail along the rim and the Canyon Trail descends to a beautiful waterfall viewpoint. The scale and color of the canyon genuinely rivals the mainland Grand Canyon. This is a must-see on Kauai.
