Visited
Kauai visitors looking to spot a Nene -- Hawaii's endemic state bird -- may get lucky at the Kilauea Lighthouse. The national wildlife preserve is home for many seabird species as well as breathtaking vistas of the Garden Isle's North Shore. No Kauai visit is complete without a stop at stunning Hanalei Bay, a great spot for surfing, picnics and sunbathing. And those looking for that perfect Instagram waterfall shot may want to consider Wailua Falls, an iconic Kauai natural wonder that's graced many magazine covers.

Stayed
Just a 10-minute drive from Kauai's Lihue Airport, the 450-acre Timbers Kauai Ocean Club & Residences features cavernous two- to four-room luxury vacation rentals with all the comforts of home and then some. And vacationing guests will definitely want to set aside at least one morning at the property's Farm at Hokuala to meet farmer Cody Meyer, who's orchestrated a scenic showcase of fresh fruits and vegetables where travelers can get their hands dirty picking their own dinner ingredients.

Nibbled
Immortalized in a popular South Park episode, Bubba Burger Kauai makes some Hawaii's best hamburgers. Garden Isle visitors should try to squeeze in at least one tasting at popular joints in Kapaa and Poipu. Be sure to try a chocolate shake! Poke fans, meanwhile, may want to consider learning to make the traditional raw tuna treat themselves. Timbers Kauai guests can sign up for expert instruction from chef Zach Cummings, who'll not only teach folks poke secrets but may even catch the fish himself.
