Lihue is the main town and gateway of Kauai, the lush 'Garden Isle' of Hawaii.

Peer into Waimea Canyon or cruise the Nā Pali cliffs, and you'll be swept away by this island's raw beauty!
When to go
April to June and September to October bring drier weather and fewer crowds, while winter sees more rain and bigger surf. The climate is warm year-round, though Kauai is the wettest of the main islands.
Getting there from Quebec City and Montreal
From eastern Canada, reaching Lihue (LIH) is a long trip with at least two connections, usually a flight to Toronto or Vancouver and then a US mainland gateway such as Los Angeles or Seattle, sometimes via Honolulu. As a US destination you clear American customs, typically at your first US airport.
What to see and do
- Marvelling at Waimea Canyon, the 'Grand Canyon of the Pacific'
- Cruising the cliffs of the Nā Pali Coast
- Relaxing on Poipu Beach
- Hiking or boating along the Wailua River to Fern Grotto
Good to know before you go
The currency is the US dollar and English is spoken, with Hawaiian widely honoured. Public transit is very limited, so a rental car is the practical way to reach the canyon, beaches, and river valleys; the island's one main road is easy to drive, though many agencies add a young-driver surcharge for under-25s, and guided tours are a good car-free alternative. Respect ocean conditions, as currents can be strong.
