Roughly ten percent of Kauai is accessible by car.
The rest of the island must be explored by foot, bike, or helicopter. This makes it very easy to get off the beaten path and many travelers seeking unconventional experiences come to Kauai just for that reason.

Experienced hikers can trek into the Napali Coast along the Kalalau Trail. Most people break the hike up into two days because it can be an arduous task to complete in one day. Still others just hike until they feel satisfied, then return to the beginning of the trail. The island is filled with mana (spiritual power) and whether you explore it on foot or by car, you will feel its energy.

Top Five Ways To Get off the Beaten Path on Kauai:

5. Zip through the treetops on a zip line.
4. Visit Postcards Café in Hanalei for delicious vegan and non-vegan meals.
3. Watch the surfers rip it up at Kalihiwai Point.
2. Venture into the Wet and Dry Caves of Haena.
1. Hike along the Napali Coast.
