Midday South Shore Drive & Lunch Stop
We head down toward the sunny South Shore, stopping for a relaxed local lunch (food trucks or casual spots — your choice).
Spouting Horn Blowhole
Visit Spouting Horn, where ocean swells send water shooting through lava rock — classic Kauaʻi energy.

Cruise the coast near Poipu Beach with time for turtles (often resting on shore), short beach walks, and scenic pull-outs.

As the light softens, we hit lesser-known coastal viewpoints and quiet backroads — perfect for photos and soaking it all in.
