Nawiliwili, Kauai Port Reviews

Went to a beach within walking distance from the ship, watch for rip currents and then they took us to a luau. Lots of fun there!

Rented a car and loved the island.

Went swimming at beach near port. Great time

Loved exploring Kauai on our own. We went on the "Directors Cut" excursion the first day and did not enjoy it. It was an hour shorter than what was promised and did not bring us to a lot of the filming locations that were advertised. We just drove by slowly "look to your left, that is the field Jurassic Park was filmed in" and kept going. (Go to the ranch on Oahu for movie filming locations if that's what interests you)

Rented a SUV did island on our own. My second time to vist Kauai. Food and shaved ice

Good, yes

Prettiest island but very wet - they get lots of rain so have a poncho or rain jacket on hand. Again, the port is in an industrial area so you will not be close to anything.

Kauai is a beautiful island. We did 3 tours here. Day 1) The Director's Cut tour and Day 2) Bike Explorer and Jungle Falls Hike. Day 2 was amazing. The bike tour was self-guided and at your own pace. Absolutely stunning views of the coast. Only wish we had about an hour more time-wise (3 hours was just not enough as I would have liked to spend more times in the shopping area). The ride overall is about 13 miles if you choose to do the entire patch. The Jungle hike tour was challenging but the swim and waterfalls was well worth it. I would not recommend the Director's Cut tour. Basically just a bus ride watching videos of movies filmed on the island but not really sure where. A couple of photo stops but nothing breathtaking.

It was a caos, the tours were not organized
