Kauai Things to do
You can do almost anything and travel on Kauai by bicycle to area attractions like shops and restaurants or even explore some of the area’s popular hiking trails. Get in some exercise, get in lots of spectacular views, and get in on one of the most enjoyable ways to experience Kauai. Let’s take a look at where you can get bike rentals for the whole family.
Kauai Bicycle Rentals
Suppose you intend to bike only the 8-mile coastal Kapaa bike path along the island’s eastern shore and perhaps stop off for some shopping at Kapaa Town. In that case, you can find many men’s and women’s bikes to choose from at Kauai Bicycle Rentals Kapa’a. The bikes are available for rental daily (no overnights), and the shop is open from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Monday – Saturday. Helmets and bike locks are included.
Hele On Kauai Bike Shop
Select beach cruisers, tandem bikes, and tag-alongs at Hele On Kauai Bike Shop, open Tuesday – Sunday 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. You can also rent two-seat child trailers, which is a great way to explore the beaches, coastal roads, and off-road terrain. Beach cruisers and child trailers are available for rent by the hour (two or four), the day, or the week. Tandems and tag-alongs can be rented for two, four, or 24 hours. Bike rentals must be reserved at least 12 hours in advance.
Kauai Moped & Scooters
If you’re not up to pedaling about the island, a motorized moped or scooter can get you to the beaches, waterfalls, and other attractions.
