Active traveler MattF has been working hard at taking it easy on Kauai, and now that he’s completed his third trip to the Hawaiian island, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better resource for this particular paradise.
His journal Two Weeks to Slow Down has fast filled with tips like where to stay on both the North Shore and East Shore; how to find a secret beach; where to enjoy the best meal on Kauai; and where to take a bike ride that’s just a little less scary than the last one he recommended.
But one of our favorite tips is where to find manapua--a local treat MattF learned about on IgoUgo--and wild boar barbecue that will give you a “mouthful of joy.” And we love this extra note: “Costco carries quite a variety of local ‘island fare’ if you want to enjoy back at the condo.” Now there’s a tip we haven’t seen in any guidebook lately.
