POA docking in Kauai

[shazz43]

Could someone tell me the name of the Port where the POA docks in Kauai :confused:, please :)

[sceptic]

Nawiliwili.

[shazz43]

Where is the big Banyan tree everybody talks about in Kauai :confused: is it where the ship docks in Nawiliwili or somewhere else :confused:, any tips or advise would be good :)

Is Nawiliwili near Lihue?

[phillygirl63]

From my research, I think Nawiliwili is the name of the bay, and Lihue is the name of the town that is there. If this is not so, please let me know.

Good to know-thank you!

The banyon tree everyone talks about is in Lahaina Maui not Kauai. Maybe there are banyons in Kauai too but the one most mentioned on CC is Lahaina.

 

The ship ports in Kauai at Nawiliwili (nah-willy-willy I think is the pronunciation).

 

Lihue is the name of the town that is close to the port. Not really walking distance but probably only about a 10 minute drive if I remember right.

Ok thanks for that Lisa, so is Lahaina Maui, is this where POA docks and can we walk or catch a shuttle to Lahaina or is it in a different part of town :confused:

[AZ Karaoke Girl]

No. POA docks on the other side of Maui and no shuttles run over to Lahaina. I always get a rental car and drive there. It is about a 30 minute drive to Lahaina from the dock. But since POA is in Maui for 2 days, I get a rental car.

We are thinking about renting a car for just one day, which means after we return it, we would have a few hours to kill before the ship sails. Is there easy transportation to and from Nawiliwili and Lihue if you don't have a car?

There is a free shuttle that runs between the Anchor Cove Shopping Center and the cruise terminal. (This in in Kauai)

[wine night]

Do you know what time the shuttles stop running ?

Don't quote me on this but 9:00 pm pops into my head... but I don't know for sure.

Close! Remember a "W" in the middle of a word is pronounced "V"

Nah-veelee-veelee

 

Hawaiian alphabet: A,E,I,O,U, H,K,L,M,N,P,W

 

Vowels pronounced A (ah), E (A), I (ee), O (oh), U (oo)

 

Now you can impress the locals!!

 

Bonus points for Humuhumunukunukuapua'a the state fish that every tour guide will ask if anyone knows.

 

Now back to your thread with apologies :)
