Comfortable accommodation and a great base from which to explore the northern parts of Kauai. Having a car is an absolute must. Parking spots at scenic beaches were in limited supply, so it was important to arrive early each morning [might not be a problem outside school holidays]. We loved Hanalei Town for its cafes, and the golden sand beaches with clear waters full of triggefish. One of the highlights was our evening cruise up the Na Pali Coast. Definitely my favourite island and best trip to Hawaii [there have been some bad ones!]
