In Suzanne Swedo's book, "Hiking the Hawaiian Islands", she's included a "hike" at Kilauea Point…read moreNational Wildlife Refuge. While I appreciate her calling out hikes of various lengths and difficulties, calling this particular spot a place to hike almost makes me laugh; I don't imagine it's possible to walk even 1/4 mile here, so checking this one off your list will be easy. Getting in a bit less so. One must drive in to KPNWR. Walk-ins are prohibited. Cars line up on a single-lane road that ends at the ticket booth. There, you'll pay $10 per person to enter (or if you're a senior, gain admittance through use of a National Parks pass) and, if lucky, you'll have a place to park. Ideally, you've made advance reservations through the Park service. Fail to do so and you might not be allowed in. I failed to do so but was allowed into a tour bus parking area if I promised to stay no longer than 45 minutes. Whether or not you have reservations, come a bit early as the line of cars can take about 10-20 minutes to navigate. Once in, KPNWR is a beautiful place from which to spot sea birds and sea life. Signage and stationery telescopes help you to view both and binoculars can be checked out on a self-serve basis from inside a building by the lighthouse. KPNWR is a perfectly nice experience but not a hike. Neither is it a particularly novel experience given that Kauai is full of places to stop and view nature, particularly places that don't require an admission fee or advance reservations. I was happy to have come here to check this "hike" off my list but in no way do I think it's anything one must experience when visiting Kauai.

The song was inspired by Hanalei. This P.O. Is tiny, as most of the ones I have visited on this island but it serves its purpose well. Staff are friendly & conversational, fairly efficient. The P.O. boxes are showing some wear & tear--what do you expect for this type of humid & salty environment? Parking is about 6 spots including disabled access. I wanted to buy different postcard stamps but the only available ones are the sailboats, they're out of the tropical fish- that would've been perfectly ideal. DaRn. Let's hope the postcards are delivered before to the addressees before we return the mainland. (Ha! Wishful thinking)

CALL IF YOU WANT SOMEONE HONEST! I wish Eco Kauai had been…read morethe first company I called to come and inspect my apartment. Unfortunately, I called Kauai MoldWaterFire. I am a tenant who has been very sick ever Since I moved into my apartment and I was starting to suspect there could be water damage or mold. The inspector found lots of water damage, and then falsified the report. The company would not even give me a copy of the report, I had to fight for it, and when I finally got it, all of the saturated walls and wet spots were completely removed from the report. My landord made a deal with them and erased the evidence. Then I decided to call Eco Kauai, and Justin came out to do inspection. Night and day difference in the entire experience. He was professional, very communicative, and when I told him about my nightmare, he assured me I was in good hands and that he would report everything honestly, and that is exactly what he did. The inspection found the same water damage as the first company, and even more because Justin's inspection was so thorough and looked in other rooms as well. My landlord tried to intimidate him first, and then he tried to feel him out to see if he would take a bribe by saying "hey come over onto my property I want to show you something", and honestly my heart dropped because I wondered if it was happening all over again....BUT NOPE. He respectfully stood his ground, and he was extremely professional. He treated me in such a courteous way, even though he knew he would get zero remediation work from this situation. The report is very thorough and has every detail. He knows his stuff, and is extremely well versed in way more than just mold. He patiently answered my every question. If you want a company that will do the right thing NO MATTER WHAT, call Eco Kauai. Someone who puts that much time and care into a free inspection regardless of the outcome, and says no to dirty money HAS INTEGRITY. You can trust this company to handle your home with care. I can't say it enough, Thank you Justin!!!!!

As it turned out Justin had planned to be in our area that same afternoon so he stopped by.

He spent as much time as needed to review his test results, answer questions and go over options for repair. We greatly appreciate the time he spent with us and the sharing of his knowledge and experience. We would recommend Justin Jacobs Eco Kauai Services for any water damage/ mold questions and issues.
