The style on Kauai is casual. Even at the finest Kauai restaurants “slippers” or “flip-flops” are appropriate. Kauai is famous for its beautiful but stubborn red dirt, which rarely washes out of clothing. Therefore, we recommend leaving your finer clothing, shoes or new hiking boots at home. You will want to pack lightweight, comfortable attire for activities, including: swimsuits, shorts, T-shirts, sandals, sunscreen, a hat, light windbreaker and of course, your camera!
