I’d like to thank you for coming along with me on my personal journey to learn about and explore the Hawaiian island of Kauai in an in depth and personal way.
Initial topics, like planning to go on any vacation, will include planning and research for our trip. We will include an island tour, talk about things to understand before you go about the Hawaiian culture, discuss the questions, “Is Kauai the island for you?” and “Where should you stay on Kauai?”. We will dive into vacation planning, the10 best activities, and 10 must eats. After that, we will arrive on Kauai with a “your first day” show.
Once settled in on the island, the show will dive into the culture and history of the island, meet exciting people, go on live adventures, review popular activities, and explore new places.

Outstanding Podcast

Ty Whitman brings a very well done travel podcast. My wife and I were looking to go to Hawaii back in 2020 then Covid hit. During my prep I searched Hawaii podcast and Escape to Kauai pulled up. We listened to every episode. Sold on Kauai! Fast forward and we are going to give it another shot in September 2023. My wife and I have started over from episode one. Great listening therapy when driving to work. Never met Ty but we can’t help but consider him a friend as we have heard his story over his decade of Kauai podcasting! I hope he is doing well…

Fantastic for Kauai Vacationers

Built a 2 week vacation to the Big Island and Kauai in 2019 based on this podcast. Check out his one episode on the Big Island as well for help with planning a Big Island trip. He’s got a great format, occasional guests, and a super podcast friendly voice. More episodes please!!

Awesome Podcast Iffy ID Politics

It’s undeniable that this podcast is very enjoyable and informative and I love it. One thing, the only thing, that bothers me and is important to mention is that the creator of this podcast is a “haole” and it shows through his white fragility and very settler colonial ideas about Hawaiian people. His white privilege shows when it comes to matters of race and ethnicity. I’m this day and age and in this climate there simply is no room for this anymore. Time to update the Boomer ideas and step into the 21st century and start questioning white supremacy.
