So, you’ve got your heart set on a Hawaiian vacation and are planning a trip to Hawaii.
You’ve narrowed your choices down to two main Hawaiian islands: Maui or Kauai.
You can envision yourself on both islands, chilling on a dreamy beach eating luscious Hawaiian fruit and then hopping in a helicopter for the views of a lifetime.
They’re both tropical, lush, exciting and relaxing. And both are island paradises.
However, some significant differences can help you choose which is better: Maui or Kauai?
Depending on where you stay, you may not even need to rent a car. For example, if you stay in Lahaina – the largest tourist area – you’ll be able to walk almost everywhere.
Only about 20% of Kauai is accessible by car. And making it more of a challenge, the roads don’t run along the coastline. You can’t see those stunning views from your vehicle.
