Kauai Museum

Don’t miss the Kauai Museum, 4428 Rice St., Lihue, Kauai, HI 96766, telephone (808) 245-6931. Its fine exhibits on Hawaii’s natural and human history more than justify its modest admission fee.

Getting Around on Kauai

Public transportation

Kauai now has bus service; the regular fare as of March 2002 is $1.50/regular fare, $0.75 for seniors, students, and disabled people (drivers have the authority to ask for identification). Call the County of Kauai Transportation Agency at (808) 241-6410 from 7 A.M. to 5 P.M. Monday through Saturday to get more information, including a copy of the bus schedule. The bus will get you to the island’s major communities but, alas, not to most of the trailheads in this book. Consider using the bus to explore the island’s settled areas and renting a car only on those days you want to hike from trailheads that are too far from your lodgings or any bus stop. Some rules for the bus are: carry-ons limited to 9” x 14” x 22”; no oversized backpacks and baggage; no boogie boards; no food or drink, no smoking, and no profanity on buses; no drop-offs at undesignated bus stops.
