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.

Summer on Kauai

When you visit Kauai in the summertime you have many choices depending on which coast you visit. On the east side of the island, renting a bike is a great idea because there are several bike paths to explore. You can also hike on the lush Kuilau Ridge Trail. The south shore of the island offers plenty of long beaches with calm waters for swimming. On the west side, try the Art Night that happens every Friday evening in Hanapepe.

Been working in Kauai for a couple months doing AC/Refrigeration and coming to Sixt for our transportation purposes. Car rentals might be conspicuous and overlooked but you have to think, the car literally takes care of you your whole trip, from start to finish. Therefore, here at Sixt, we see our now good friend Aimee that helps us find exactly what we need for our efforts to have the best trip we can possibly have and she takes care of us like family. It is always great vibes, great service, and a great experience, which we are very thankful for. I've never been to a better car rental place. Best in all aspects of car rental places, just try it and you’ll see for yourself! Mahalo!

Amazing service. Shuttle for sixt was already waiting when we arrived at the airport. From airport to getting into our car took about 10 mins total. Our flight out of Kauai was at 6 am. Shuttle services start at 5am (TSA also opens at 5am) and there was plenty of time to get through security. The drop of process was very easy overall. Would highly recommend using this service PS: The information on Sixt's website mentions 6am shuttle start time but this is wrong.
