When you land
Things to do in Lihue
Lihue is the county seat of Kauai and the island’s commercial center, home to its main airport, Nawiliwili Harbor and the government offices, shopping and hospitals that serve the whole island. The town grew up around sugar plantations, and that heritage remains visible at sites such as Kilohana and Grove Farm. Tourism now drives most of the economy, along with agriculture, the Pacific Missile Range Facility on the west side and a population of second-home owners drawn by the island’s rural, unhurried character.
