Thanks for the video. My boyfriend and I (in our 50’s) and his parents (in their 80’s) are coming in a week. My boyfriend is into hiking; me, not so much-my feet hurt. I can walk a long way on a beach with my dog in CA but it’s flat and I’m not into long uphill treks, yet I want to see nice places. His parents use canes and I usually help them along. What can I do with them so they see nice places and have a good time? They don’t plan to eat out-family rented a place where we’ll cook (Indian) food only-saves $ although I will probably go out and splurge as I don’t always want Desi food. So what is less strenuous for older folks yet still pretty to see. They told me at the animal sanctuary that you can’t go inside the lighthouse but we could use their golf cart to ride around and check that place out. Any recommendations?

Tip Top invented both the macadamia nut pancake and the macadamia nut cookie. Other must try items there are the beef stew and the cheeseburger deluxe. The bento is pricey, but big enough for 2 on a picnic.

Sorry that Hamura Saimin was closed - that was the first night’s dinner for my wife & I, we just stumbled upon it and thought it was a dive from the exterior - delicious! Thanks for this and all your videos.

Great video. Lots of amazing suggestions. We just arrived I Kauai 2 days ago and some of our planned activities fell through so I have been looking for some alternatives. If you are in the Lihue area and like coffee and pastries I would recommend trying the Aloha Roastery. Delicious coffee and amazing pastries. Not a huge selection but anything made with the croissant dough is delicious. Frankly some of the best croissants I have had outside of France. For more local type fair we have enjoyed Chicken in a barrel. There are multiple locations but the BBQ/smoked chicken was delicious. I'm envious of how crispy the skin was yet the flesh tender and juicy.
