Can you travel in Kauai without a car?

I’m currently planning a trip to Hawaii and plan to spend a few days in Kauai. I’m wondering if it’s possible to get around without a car there. Do I need to rent a car in Kauai?

I hope you have a wonderful time in Hawaii! Planning a vacation can be stressful, but it is always worth it in the end.
You can travel in Kauai without a car. Here are a few ways to get around: Tour buses Shuttle buses Taxis/rideshare apps Public transportation Bikes
Remember, if you choose to take public transportation, getting around might take a little bit longer than it would if you drove yourself. However, if you’re traveling with a large group, you have the option to reserve a shuttle bus in advance.
Or, hop on a tour bus if you’re just looking to see some hot spots on the island. But keep in mind they probably won’t work for you if you prefer to visit lesser-known areas.
Taxis and rideshare apps are quick and easy, yet the costs can quickly stack up. So, if you can manage it, most travel agents and websites do recommend
renting a car
. This will allow you to explore the island at your own pace.
