Best Cities to Visit on Kauai

Hanalei: This city sits on the north shore of the island, and it is home to the famous Hanalei Bay Beach. The town itself sits right up against the beautiful Namolokama Mountains — you’ll get breathtaking views no matter which direction you look.
Lihue: This is one of the largest cities on the island, and because of that, it offers plenty of shopping and dining options. In addition, the area offers plenty of beaches where the water is quite calm, so it's suitable for swimmers of all ages.
Poipu: This is a town that sits on the south shore of the island. One of the benefits of being on this part of the island is that the sun shines almost all the time, plus it contains one of the newest shopping centers on the island. Don’t forget to check out the National Tropical Botanical Garden.

Winter on Kauai

While others are freezing in the winter, the climate in Kauai in the winter is perfect for getting outdoors or getting in the water. A great wintertime activity is to go on a whale watching tour. When you are on the south side of the island, try out snorkeling in the calm waters. Stop at the Kauai Coffee Company to enjoy an amazing cup of coffee and learn about all the island's coffee history.

During my October 2024 stay, Tabitha went above and beyond to make things right when one of the tires on the rental had a leak. The car swap was smooth and swift, all the staff friendly and helpful -- Tabitha at the counter quickly accommodated a car swap need -- great customer service!

We traveled to Kauai for three days and two nights from November 17th to 19th. Upon arriving at the airport, the shuttle from SIXT came promptly and smoothly took us to the rental counter. Tabitha, who assisted us at the counter, kindly shared recommendations for sightseeing spots and delicious restaurants, making our first trip to Kauai even more special. It was the perfect start to our journey. The pricing was reasonable, allowing us to enjoy three days while staying within our budget. Thank you so much!

I recently had the pleasure of renting a car from Sixt, and I must say, my experience exceeded expectations! The vehicles were impressively clean, which is always a major plus for any rental service. It’s clear that Sixt takes pride in maintaining their fleet. In addition to the quality of the cars, I found their prices to be very reasonable. This made my trip more enjoyable without breaking the bank. What truly stood out was the exceptional customer service I received, particularly from a staff member named Kawaii. She was incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to ensure that my rental process was smooth and hassle-free. Her friendly demeanor and willingness to assist made a significant difference in my overall experience. I highly recommend Sixt for anyone in need of a reliable car rental service. Clean vehicles, fair prices, and outstanding staff like Kawaii make it a top choice!
