Spend the afternoon browsing the various shops in the quaint surf town of Hanalei.
Stroll through Ching Young Village where you can pick up traditional Hawaiian trinkets or explore your artistic ability strumming a ukulele. Stop for an afternoon cup of island brewed tea or coffee at Java Kai. Hang out on the front lanai and experience the pace of island living. Grab a bite for lunch at one of the many great restaurants in town offering anything from traditional Hawaiian lunch plate to great brazillian food at Neide’s. For later in the day fine dining is also available. Enjoy a cocktail under the moonlight by the river at the Dolphin and then feast on ahi and salad for dinner.
You’ll appreciate the lack of stoplights on the North Shore, where traffic is monitored by one way bridges and driver courtesy. This is where we come to understand the meaning of aloha.
