Does anyone know where we can rent a bike and if there are any tandem bike rentals on the island? Are there any other bike trails like this one on the island?!

Roshee - check out the Bike Doctor in Hanalei or Kauai Cycle in Kapaa for bike rentals and group rides to Kauai's epic trails.

This trail is an excellent choice for wheelchair users who want to get out and see some of the coastline. Cross slope is moderate.
The path appears to be very well maintained - we met maintenance workers who were clearing gravel and mud from the path after several days of rain.
I\'d be very interested in learning about any other wheelchair accessible trails - this was just about the only one I found during my two week stay on the island.

I am wondering if there is a movement to re-allow leashed dogs back onto this specific path. It is a wonderful path that I've walked dogs on (prior to and throuhout the construction project) while my tax dollars were at work to make improvements to it! Locals and visitors alike have loved both having a great place to walk their dogs and to meet people walking their dogs and now suddenly there are cops on bikes handing out tickets! Does anyone else think that this is unfair to our furry friends and their leash-using owners?

You may want to check in with the non-profit involved with this Path at www.kamalani.org. They may be able to give further insight. J

We are traveling to Lihue in June and staying at the Marriot- we are looking for an amazing- not to tough trail that would take us to a swimmable and safe waterfall...any suggestions? Thank you for your time...a very excited traveler.

Aloha Stephanie. You may want to check in with Outfitters Kauai, a tour company that offers tours to Kipu Falls in the Lihue area. This spot has taken lives and can be dangerous, so we recommend only going with an official guide. A simple online search for the company name should get you the contact info you need. J.
