Hula pie at Keoki's Paradise restaurant, food was good too.

Kauai coffee company is worth a stop in, or two do the tour it is worth the half hour.   Tunnels beach was a great snorkeling spot.  There is a great hiking all over Kauai we honestly hiked every day when we were down there, by far my favorite hawaiian island.  I did not fish there I have on other islands I just buy fresh fish now the trips have been less than stellar.

This is up in Waimea Canyon, I did not hunt but drove up there to the end its a nice drive. The hunting units were marked on white signs along the road.

When I pass, do not let my wife sell the guns for what I told her they cost.

You asked about hunting, yes I was able to go do some hog hunting. Another guide at cjm stables had a few dogs and would take me out on some hunts. It's pretty wild to hunt hogs using nothing but a knife!

Great cigars and spiced rum are made on the island. make sure you buy a fifth and at least 1 cigar. I love them.  Stop at the taco shack near the end of the road on the north shore. Great Ahi tacos. Rent a Jeep there is no reason to get a sports car and head To the south shore near the radar station. There is a glueton free bakery in Lahue. Booze is cheap. Do one of the irrigation canal floats. Buy a wrist rocket and a bag or 2 of marbles to shoot rouge chickens on your adventures from the walmart.

No license for fishing on the ocean. If your into alternative building check out the Air Crete Dome Gaia workshop. ive been to the island 3 times. I stayed in Kona last time and will be going back to Kauai next time.

I have had many varieties of Koloa Rum and absolutely love it!  Where do you get your cigars?  Do you remember the name/location of the taco shack?   

Taco shack is the last place headed to the park at the north shore. Pretty sure it was at/part of the north shore general store.

They used to send the tabacco out to Nicaragua to be roles. I'm told they do it in house now. Next time I go I'm going to tour the business.

My favorite is the Island Prince Momona, never found thier big gauge Nui Loa for sale. They arnt cheep cigars. If you only buy one plan on spending $15. Low booze tax but pretty high tabacco tax I hear. It's cheaper to purchase a box online than on the Island. Goes great with the rum and I've enjoyed a 30-45min burn time

In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

If you turkey hunt, you might want to check their regs to see if the spring season is still open. It opens in early March on the Big Island, not sure about Kauai. Theres actually a big population of Rio Grande turkeys on the islands and pretty slim hunting pressure. Pretty unique hunting experience when your chasing gobblers high up on a volcano.  :yike: I'm planning on hunting turkeys myself in Hawaii, hopefully as soon as next year.  :tup:

Pretty sure that is the wooden box of 3. I still have mine as a momento. Wife got it for me so the men could have cigars after my youngest was born.

Definitely been considering this option. I know there some on the Nepali coast too. I think that might be bow only though.

I really enjoy Kauai coffee.  What do you mean your trips have been less than stellar?

I would love to hunt turkeys, but as far as I know that’s not an option on Kauai?

Loved the macadamenian nut coffee blend!

It also goes great with the Cigars!

Been on a few dog and knife hunts. They are intense for sure. Hoping to go on more! Want to go after some goats and some day axis and mouflon (on lanai)
