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.

This is my third trip to Kauai and I have to say that this was my smoothest rental car pickup on the island. Chrissy was very friendly at the counter. The car was clean. The only negative of SIXT that I can think of is that the airport shuttle is small. You're better of having one person from your party pickup and drop off the car than having the entire party ride the shuttle.

Sixt was brand new to me but the vehicle was clean, in great shape, and even got decent gas mileage.
Picking the car up, I dealt with Tabitha. Very friendly, professional, and gave me requested info above and beyond car rental.
May-An was the person I dealt with upon return. She too was friendly & professional.
