Things to do in Lihue if you have a Lihue Airport Layover or Extended Lihue Airport Stopover
According to National Geographic (Adventure Town: Lihue, Kauai, Hawaii), Lihue “has a prime location between heavenly Kalapaki Beach—perpetually ranked as one of the world’s finest stretches of white sand—soaring mountains, and the 3,000-foot (914-meter) deep, jungle-fringed Waimea Canyon.” Wow. With that in mind…
Get Sand Between Your Toes
Along with the amazing white sand, the protected waters of Kalapaki Beach are ideal for swimming and bodysurfing (free and open to the public).
Visit the Kauai Museum
The Kauai Museum is located in the old part of Lihue and is the island's best museum on the history, geography, and people of Kauai.
Visit an old Sugar Plantation
Grove Farm Homestead’s 80-acre site was originally a sugar plantation where you can see the original family mansion, the worker's quarters and many fine gardens.
Go Golfing
There are several excellent golf courses adjacent to the LIH Lihue Airport, including Kauai Lagoons Golf Club, Puakea Golf Course and Wailua Municipal Golf Course. Just be careful, as the sound of “Fore!” might be drowned out by jet engines!
Do a Little Shopping
Lihue is home to Kauai’s largest shopping mall (Kukui Grove Center).
As always, make sure you leave plenty of time to get back to LIH Lihue Airport and clear security in time for your connecting flight. Enjoy your transit city rather than whiling away the time leaning up against your luggage in the departures lounge.
