We loved that we could walk to the beach very easily. There are daily activities like yoga, ukulele lessons, etc. The pool and hot tub were nice especially after a day of hiking or surfing. The staff was great, they gave great recommendation on places to see on the island. There was only 2 downsides, one was how expensive the food at the restaurant is in comparison to other places around the island, including other resort restaurants. Second is that the parking is $40/day unless you park the car along the main road and walk back to the resort, which we were never told and figured out ourselves the second to last day we were there. Nonetheless this is a perfect place if you want a relaxing quiet space to vacation. It does not get rowdy, that’s not the vibe as all.

Frequently asked questions

How much is a flight to Kauai?
The cost for a return flight to Kauai this past week ranged between $73 and $249. If you were traveling one-way from Oahu (HNL), you could have landed ticket prices from just $39.
How to book the cheapest flight to Kauai?
Scoring cheap flights to Kauai is as simple as booking your ticket with Orbitz. But if you'd like to make sure you're walking away with the best flight deals around, here are some suggestions your wallet will love:

  • Consider alternative airports to save money. Enter your preferred departure and arrival points in the form fields, then click on the 'Nearby airports' function below. It will list the available options.
  • If your travel plans aren't written in stone, click on the 'Show flexible dates' option to scan the flight deals for a selection of departure dates. If you find a better fare, book it.
  • You can also select the 'Show options' link to filter results for your preferred carrier, seating class, nonstop flights and refundable flights. Under 'Sort & Filter' to the left, you can even choose the time of day you'd like to fly.
  • The early bird catches the best deals, so book as soon as you've worked out your travel dates. The cheapest fares sell out first and prices climb as the departure date nears.
  • Think about bundling your hotels, flights and car rentals into a package deal to make your dollar go further.
  • Whenever possible, don't travel during the busy season. Airfares are often at their most expensive during summer, school breaks and other vacation periods like Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas.

How long is a flight to Kauai?
Flight lengths depend on where you're departing from, whether that's the West Coast, the East Coast or someplace else. Listed below are three of the most well-known routes to Kauai and average flight times:

  • Honolulu, HI (HNL-Daniel K. Inouye Intl.) to Lihue Airport (LIH) - 42 minutes
  • Kahului, HI (OGG) to Lihue Airport (LIH) - 49 minutes

What is the best time to book a flight to Kauai?

What day of the week is the cheapest to book a flight to Kauai?
If you're after inexpensive fares to Kauai, the best days of the week to make a booking are Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. With Orbitz (and some good timing!), an unbeatable flight deal will be all yours.
What is the cheapest day of the week to fly to Kauai?
According to Orbitz data from 2020, Monday tends to be the best day to get cheap flights to Kauai. Tuesday also offers wallet-friendly airfares, while Saturday has the highest ticket prices. Although flying out at the weekend can be more convenient, you'll have more cash in your pocket to play with if you head out at the start of the week.
What is the cheapest month to fly to Kauai?
You can jet for less in August. This is generally an excellent month to get on a plane if you want cheap flights to Kauai, Orbitz data shows. The costliest time to fly is June, so try to avoid this month if you're on a budget.

What do I need for the flight to Kauai?
It's good to be prepared for anything when traveling. Remember the following tips for a smooth journey:

  • Nothing is more important than having your travel documents. Which to bring and how many depend on whether you're traveling domestic or international. Be sure to check with your airline. In both cases, you'll need to present some kind of government-issued ID.
  • Take a good book or a laptop crammed with your favorite films — it'll help to while away time during your journey to Kauai. Or if you're hoping to enjoy a nap, an eye mask will shield you from those bright cabin lights.
  • Temperatures in the cabin can go from hot to cold quickly, so it's best to dress in layers. Consider compression socks too. They can help prevent your feet and legs from getting achy and swollen.

Each month, there are 103 direct flights into Kauai. Pick from an excellent range of airline companies, including Hawaiian Airlines, Southwest Airlines and United Airlines. Other well-known carriers that jet to Kauai nonstop are Alaska Airlines, American Airlines and Delta Air Lines.
How do I get cheap first-class/business deals to Kauai?
There are ways of booking business or first-class tickets to Kauai that won't burn a hole through your savings. Grab a seat at the front of the plane for less with these practical tips:

  • Be more flexible with your travel dates and hold out for deals on first or business-class airfares.
  • Low-cost airlines offer business-class seating at a fraction of the usual cost. Ditch the full-service carriers and look up these cheaper options.
  • Make the most of your airline's customer loyalty program and upgrade your seat. You can also bid for an upgrade in an online auction if available.
