What is there to do in Kauai Hawaii? — featuring Kritika Goel

0:13 [Music] good morning everyone we're out on the road again  so today we've actually checked out from our hotel   uh in Princeville and we're heading down south so  the reason we're doing that is because even though   Kawaii is an island the western part of kawaii  is not accessible by Road so if you want to see  

0:32 things in the South and the Southwest you kind  of have to go all the way around the island and   check those places out so uh it actually makes  sense if you're planning a trip to kauwaii to   split your stay into the North and the South so we  did four nights in the north and we're doing three  

0:45 nights in the South so we're going to be in this  uh area called Poipu and kooa so we're only going   to be there in the evening we will be making some  stops along the way so exciting day ahead my dad   has been driving us around in Kawaii how has the  Driving Experience is it easy it's easier to drive  

1:03 here than in India I guess yeah everyone follows  rules and the roads are really like nice yeah and   the views are amazing in Kawai you really do need  to have a car because uh when we were in Maui we   didn't really leave the resort too much we had  tours booked so they were driving us around and  

1:20 other than that you can get Ubers easily but  over here you kind of like need a car because   otherwise it's hard to get around and our car has  been amazing it's so spacious and and comfortable   and we have like a sunroof so it's really  nice and yeah the views in Kawai are just bre

1:36 [Music] taking so our first stop is for breakfast  we've come to this place called Russel which is   super cute it's a vegan restaurant gotten  ourselves some burritos and an asai Bowl   falling pieces in my room are you coming over  that's schol I could use a little something to  

2:02 do go outside take a little ride if you want  to this next place where visiting is quite an   unexpected spot in a place like Hawaii because  it's actually a Hindu Monastery I'm not sure why   or how there is a Hindu Monastery here and it's  actually a Tamil Monastery because the temple here  

2:19 is called cadell Temple I'm not sure if it's open  let's go inside and check it out but I'm surprised   how many cars there were over here outside looks  like there are lots of people visiting this place there's nothing left for me to do so  now I'm walking out my head through   open Windows cuz that's what I feel like  do it tonight waking up my brain maybe  

2:44 you can do the [Music] same so photography  wasn't really allowed inside the temple but   uh we went in there was a Puja happening  honestly didn't expect to see something   like this in Kawai but uh the temple itself  and the whole complex is very peaceful and [Music] beautiful [Music] come F just had really  delicious Thai food for lunch at this place called  

3:17 big monster the food was delicious also today has  been kind of interesting I actually ran into two   of my subscribers like two different groups of  people which was so nice because it was very very   expected in kwaii of all places so if you ever  see me please come say hi because it makes me  

3:35 so [Music] happy next up we are about to go  on a helicopter ride so one of the best ways   to see Kawaii is from the air because most of the  island is actually inaccessible by land so we've   booked a 50-minute helicopter ride for ourselves  really looking forward to some amazing views

4:00 I'll be dancing on the along  when it happens when it happens   when it happens I'll be dancing on  theone when it happens it it [Music]

4:30 you want me to say something I come up  with nothing maybe we can talk until we   figure out a topic been so long in my head  caught up in my feelings I've been waiting   for something new to happen you want me to  say something I come up with nothing maybe   we should talk until we figure out a topic  been so long without it caught up in my  

5:00 my feelings I'll been waiting for something new  to happen and when it happens when it happens   we'll be dancing on the lawn when it happens  when it happens it Happ we'll be dancing on   the lawn when it happens when it happens  when it happens we'll be dancing all my  

5:30 when it how was it wonderful just out of the  world all inos feeling like we are in a James   Bond movie yeah the pilot took us very close to  the mountains in few instances I really got scared   that he might hit the mountain but yes in one to  we could see the beaches the mountains the canyon  

5:58 the waterfalls oh there's us on the TV in the  back look at that that was so epic honestly I've   been fortunate to have been on a few different  helicopter rides in my life but this one was   hands down the best in terms of the [Music] views  wow this is our home for the next couple of days  

6:33 three nights our place here is really nice very  spacious and the best part is the balcony [Music]

7:05 good morning everyone we have an exciting day  ahead of us so we are on our way to visit the   Bia Canyon it's known as the Grand Canyon of the  Pacific and it's basically like a very Lush and   Green version of the Grand Canyon we saw it from  up above uh on the helicopter ride yesterday and  

7:21 it looked beautiful so excited to check it out and  we're also going to be doing some hikes in that   area so quite an adventurous day ahead of us first  things first we're going to stop for breakfast but   is everyone excited for today [Music] yes times  and places are all in who you share them with  

7:54 and it's life and the point is very plants  here in fact even through our Drive in kwaii   like some of the trees that I've noticed here are  trees that I've never seen before so very unique vegetation theek the weekend keeping  close who you spending with and in

8:24 time so we've just driven pretty high up to  to this Lookout Point I don't know if you're   going to be able to see anything because  it's very cloudy but it looks so magical   and mystical [Music] here trying out some wild  strawberries they're so [Music] tiny we are now  

8:52 inside K State Park we're about to do our first  hike we're hoping to do two hikes today so this   one is the longer one I think it's about 3 hour  hours long both ways and we're basically going   to be going up to wiper or waterfalls So today  we're actually doing a guided tour so we have a  

9:06 guide with us and it's been really nice because  some of these spots I don't think we would have   been able to find on our own and also um our  guide flip has told us so many interesting   stories about like local myths and legends  it's been very fascinating and he's going   to be taking us to wio or fall so another thing  that I learned from him was Y in Hawaiian means  

9:26 water and po means head so any name where you see  why basically means water so why uh why Po and so   on but anyway this is where the hike begins  with a nice little puddle in front of [Music] us and in time which you find is the time is who  you spend it with Jo for years who you share it

10:04 with who you sharing [Music] with who you share it with wild  raspberries are they safe to eat they should be

10:32 oh my God this is so [Music] delicious  who you spending with and in time which   you find is the time is who you spend it  [Music] with joy is who you share it with

11:04 my GoPro just slipped off of vikram's hand and  had a really bad fall but looks like it survived   and we've made it to the head of the waterfall  which in Hawaiian means wipo the name of the [Music] waterfall who you share it with

11:32 yeah now it's a morning and a home  we are almost back just need to cross   these couple of Puddles but the hike was  really nice I enjoyed the views of wiia   Canyon it looked breathtaking and the  waterfall down below was really nice as   well and we are back how was that hike  great hike of a lifetime great view St  

12:00 and happy that I'm fit up to have done this  trick yeah it was it was a lot of fun thanks to [Music] flip thank [Music] you the whole  just like how do you eat it just put the   whole thing out and Che seriously y  you'll only hallucinate a little bit  

12:29 the point is is enjoying who sharing with  that in the back there is the island of how done with the tour and it's already almost  6:00 p.m. really enjoyed the tour what did you   all think yeah it was really really nice our  guide especially I think um made it like such  

12:55 a good experience so if you're in Kawai and  want to do the store I'll leave a link to it   in the Des description and I'll leave a link to  all the tours that we did in the description in   case you want to check it out but right now  since it's almost 6:00 p.m. already and we  

13:06 haven't really had lunch we're just having an  early dinner so we've come to this really nice   pizza place it's called brick oven pizza that  dinner was very filling but right now we've   come to Poipu Beach which is one of the most  popular beaches here in the South to catch the  

13:20 sunset I think you can't really see much with  the clouds but the view is really nice [Music] who you share it with good morning everyone it's our last day in  Hawaii I'm so sad because I don't know how to go   back to regular life and not be living the island  life anymore but we're going to try and make the  

13:48 most of our last day over here so today we don't  actually have an agenda for our day usually in   our trips we like to have like a free day where  we can just do whatever we feel like so there   are a few places that we missed visiting that  we're going to visit today and other than that  

14:01 we're just having a chill day also the view that  we've been waking up to every day from our balcony   is just amazing we can spot Turtle swimming and  it's just so magical and also people surfing in   the back it's such a nice view but anyway let's  head outside and have ourselves a really nice

14:18 day for breakfast we've come to this really  cute place called Little Fish coffee I've   gotten myself an asai Bowl this is actually  called the pakala bowl cuz it has some EXT   toppings and I've gotten a really healthy uh  coffee for myself with MCT oil and everything I'm   actually going to miss all these cute cafes that  Hawaii has when I leave uh there are so many nice

14:40 cafes I'm stressed out 24/7 babe no no time  outs wish we could fly away you and I go to   our favorite place oh oh this behind me is  weia Beach and it's the only black sand beach   in Kawaii it doesn't look exactly black like  the other black sand beaches I've been to I  

15:08 think the color is a bit bleached but Kawaii is  known to have the most number of beaches of all   Hawaiian Islands so we're just trying to cover  as many beaches as we can and this one being   the only black sand beach is quite unique and  another thing interesting about this place is  

15:22 that if you know anything about the history  of Hawaii Captain Cook from Britain actually   landed here very close to this beach where he  came to Hawaii so it's historically significant   as well and if you can't tell it is extremely  windy over here there's a nice pier where you  

15:37 can sit and enjoy the view and uh the view is  really [Music] nice we are now at the kauwaii   coffee company now something that I didn't  actually know before coming here was that   Kawaii is the largest producer of coffee  in America and there are lots of coffee   plantations here so in the back here you can  see tons of them and Kawaii coffee company is  

16:02 the largest coffee plantation here in kwaii so we  thought since we're in the area we'll check this out with you you they have a path here where you  can sort of do a self-guided tour of the coffee [Music] plantation you can actually sample coffee  

16:27 here for free so trying out  something all the Big Brothers [Music] Coffee this next place that we're  checking out is called the spouting horn   and it's another famous attraction over here it's  basically like a natural gezer so there's water   spouting from the ground so yeah let's go check  it out face in Hawaii with you with you haai  

17:00 with you with [Music] you with you with [Music] you we've come to one of the malls  over here uh we just drove pasted   so we thought we'll check it out all the  stores in Hawaii honestly are so [Music] expensive so we're having an early dinner  today and we've actually come to an Indian  

17:30 restaurant it's called that Indian place  we have been missing Indian food a lot so   excited to have Indian food today been  waiting for my dad's already started [Music] on WE W come down we down  last morning in Kawaii I'm so sad   to be leaving just spending our last few  minutes here uh spotting some turtles from  

17:58 our balcony we've actually seen so many  turtles from here which has been [Music] amazing time to say goodbye to our [Music] car just waiting to board our flight to Boston  and I can't believe how quickly this trip flew   by it was quite a long trip because we spent  four nights in Maui and seven nights in kwaii  

18:26 but yeah it just feels like it went by so  fast and it's probably been one of my best   trips ever it was so nice traveling with my  family again all four of us after such a long   time I think we're traveling together abroad  after 6 years and Kawai I feel like has become   my favorite island that I've ever been to and  I'm a big island person so I really hope I get  

18:45 to be back here someday because it's just  absolutely beautiful and I'm so grateful   that I got to experience this place how was  your trip and what was the highlight it was   definitely one of the best trips of my life  like I'm enjoying a trip after so long and   the Highlight was the the Nepali Coast the  katamar andour the Highlight um it's difficult  

19:05 to choose but I think the helicopter ride was  beautiful because it covered the whole island   and it showed us the napali coast and the canyon  so got some really good views of the island yeah   this was one of my most memorable trip uh it was  a picture perfect place Hawaii and the best I mean  

19:24 all things that we did was very good but yes  helicopter tour was uh outstanding as for me   it's really hard to pick just one experience as  a highlight because I feel like every day had so   many different highlights the whole trip has been  wonderful and I really hope you enjoyed this Vlog  

19:40 as much as I enjoyed Kawaii Mahalo Kawai for being  so wonderful and I really hope I get to be back   again someday but we're about to take off now  so I will see you next time in another Vlog bye
