Hi all,

We are planning for a 2 week stay at the Pono Kai.

Does anyone know of any type of transportation from the airport other than renting a car? Thanks, Bob

It's really not far to the airport - how about a cab? BTW - Kauai is very rural and you are going to need a rental car if you want to see anything more than downtown Kapa'a.

We're Pono Kai owners, and I would definitely recommend a car rental on Kauai. There's so much to see going either way from Kapaa.

Bob, When will you be there? We will be at Pono Kai for 2 weeks in January 2009. There's so much to see at the North Shore and at the South Shore, I could not imagine being on the island of Kauai without a rental car. BTW, try to request units in the oceanfront A,B, C, or D Buildings. :hi:

Bob: Be sure to eat breakfast at Ono's, right next door to Pono Kai. They have Macadamia Nut pancakes with coconut syrup.

mimi: Is Wyland, the whale painter, moving to Kapaa? His studio where he used to be is closed and we noticed an empty store with his name on it.

I don't know. On Oahu, we saw a yacht, named Wyland, in the Marina near the Ilikai, and inquired if it was his at a few of his galleries. We were unable to find out for sure if it was his. :wave:

Ono's is great, but Kountry Kitchen (yes it's KK) up the street a little bit is that much better IMO. Both are good filling food though.

Also we took a taxi to Pono Kai as our other traveling partners were bringing the car the next day and it was about $30 or close to that. It's not that far away from the airport, but I'd get a rental car if you're planning on visiting the island.

aliikai: Gee, seeing your picture -- Pono Kai's pool has expanded -- just kidding. Looks like Kauai Beach Club's. :)
