Getting started
A short walkthrough — what's here, how to use it, and how to get the most out of your trip to the Garden Isle. Takes about 2 minutes.
Tap the coral menu button (top right, with the menehune pointing at it) to see every section. The menu is your map — every page is one tap away from anywhere on the site.
If your trip is still ahead of you, the Pre-Arrival checklist is the right first stop. It walks you from 6 months out to baggage claim at Līhuʻe — bookings, costs, what to pack, day-of arrival tips.
Open Pre-Arrival →Use My Trip to keep a running list of beaches, trails, restaurants, and activities you want to hit. Most cards across the site have a 'Save to Trip' button — tap it and the item shows up on your My Trip page.
Open My Trip →Surf forecasts, brown-water warnings, road closures, and weather pull from official sources. Glance at this page each morning of your trip — Kauai conditions change fast.
Open Advisories →The non-negotiables: respecting the ʻāina, the locals, the ocean. Five minutes here will make your whole trip better and keep you out of trouble.
Open Customs →USDA agricultural rules (what you can and can't bring back), plus where to donate leftover food, sunscreen, and gear so it stays on island instead of in a hotel trash can.
Open Pre-Departure →Every Kauai course with location, holes, par, and whether it's public, resort, or private — plus website and phone links so you can book direct.
Open Golf →The Live Music calendar shows every gig, luau, and open mic across the island in calendar or list view. Tap a show for venue, map, performer, and cover.
Open Live Music →The Musicians directory is a mini-EPK for every Kauai performer — bio, genres, YouTube clips, upcoming shows, and links to their site and socials.
Open Musicians →Look for the bookmark/heart button on beaches, eats, rentals, and activities. Tap it to add to your My Trip page. No account needed — it's saved on your device.
Pages like Trails, Beaches, and Charter/Fishing have filter chips at the top — tap them to narrow by region (North/South/East/West), difficulty, or vendor type.
Every vendor, restaurant, and operator listed is intentionally chosen to keep dollars on the island. We don't list resort chains or mainland operators when there's a local equivalent.
If you play on Kauai, create a free musician profile and post your shows to the community calendar. Everything is link-based — bring your own YouTube, photos, and links.
Locals especially — if a spot is misrepresented, a vendor closed, or we missed something, the Feedback page goes straight to us.
For musicians
A five-step walkthrough for local performers. Your profile doubles as a free EPK — bio, clips, upcoming shows, and click analytics. No media hosting, no fees, no lock-in.
Sign in, then head to My Music → Profile. Add your stage name, handle, bio, genres, photo URL, website, and social links. Everything is link-based — paste URLs to images and YouTube videos, we don't host media.
Edit profile →Paste up to a few YouTube URLs on your profile. They embed automatically on your public page so visitors can hear you play before booking a gig.
Under My Music → Events, add each gig with date, times, venue, address, cover, and genre. Shows appear on the community Live Music calendar and on your musician page.
Manage events →The My Music dashboard shows profile views, website clicks, YouTube plays, and social clicks over time — so you can see what visitors actually care about.
Open dashboard →Your profile lives at /musicians/your-handle. Share that URL on flyers, Instagram, or with venues — it doubles as your free EPK.
