This is such a great place for happy hour and watching the sunset! You can see Hanalei Bay from your table! The food is average in my opinion, but they have live music daily and you can't beat the view! Plus is has the coldest beer on island and my go-to cocktail is the spicy margarita! They take reservations or you can walk up.

Sightseeing
Taking a drive the west side to see the Waimea Canyon is a must! I suggest doing some hiking while you are there!
It's best to leave really early in the morning so you can get there early. It's a full day...but totally worth it!

I always suggest grabbing your coffee or tea and taking a quick drive down to Hanalei Pier on your first morning here - it's such an amazing way to start your trip! Then go for a morning walk on the bay - it's my fav thing to do!
