CaribbeanBound Posted February 26, 2023 #2 ย Share Posted February 26, 2023 The big three are: Hanalei Beach (North Shore) Waimea Canyonย (Western Mountain Range) Poipu Beach (South Shore) I'm sure folks can provide others. ย Depending upon how much driving you wish to do... It's about an hour from Nawiliwili Harbor toย Hanalei Beach on the North Shore, in the Princeville area, and an hour back (pure drive time). Waimea Canyon, to the West, is a little over an hour each way fromย Nawiliwili Harbor.ย Add in Poipu Beach on the South Shore and you can add another 30 minutes (one way, again pure drive time). ย So, you can indeed drive most of the island in about 4.5 hours.ย It's a pretty drive, with lots of sights you may enjoy at sites along the way.ย No hiking required.

Do you know if you can walk from the port at Nawilliwili Harbor to the airport to rent a car for the day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaribbeanBound Posted February 28, 2023 #5 ย Share Posted February 28, 2023 I don't recommend it.ย It's almost a 1-hour walk, but only a 6-minute taxi or Uber. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked closer and it was about a 2 mile walk. Appreciate the reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
