If the band is on a break and I have a free weekend, I’d be in Kauai. I love the outdoors. Kauai has a perfect mix of waterfalls, hiking trails, and beautiful beaches. It’s a great place to escape and wind down from the touring life with surfing, seafood, and the local Hawaiian lifestyle.

1. Kayaking.
2. Go scuba diving.
3. Go to a luau.
4. Relax on the beach.
5. Hit the hiking trails.

1. Pa’ina o Hanalei’s sautéed kona lobster.
2. Plantation Gardens’s coconut shrimp curry.
3. Casa di Amici’s risotto.

1. Wailua Falls: A beautiful double-tiered waterfall.
2. Kalalau Trail: Stunning views of the Na Pali Coast with valleys, waterfalls, sea caves, and vistas. You can spend a few days escaping reality to free your mind with Hawaii’s greatest sights.
3. Waimea Canyon: It’s the Grand Canyon of Hawaii.
4. Anini Beach Park: If you want to kick back and relax, Anini Beach is the place.
5. Kauapea (a.k.a. Secret Beach).
