Bryan MurphyHOST
State park camping on Kauai remains closed, and several major state parks are still closed at the time of this recording.
Bryan MurphyHOST
So if your entire Kauai trip was built around Waimea Canyon, Kokee, Haena State Park, and the Kalalau Trail or some other form of outdoor experiences, this is where you really need to, you know, check current conditions before you go.
Bryan MurphyHOST
That gets us to really the bigger question of this all is, well, should you even be going to Kauai right now? If you've listened to the podcast for a while, you know I talk a lot about how we, as visitors, can travel responsibly and leave Hawaii better than we found it.
Bryan MurphyHOST
But a big question around that is what does giving back actually look like? Recently, I learned about Terraformation.

Joseph GrahamHOST
I think when you go to Hawaii, you find an island you love.
Joseph GrahamHOST
Like we love Waimea Canyon.
Joseph GrahamHOST
We love...
Joseph GrahamHOST
I love Hanalei Bay.
RyanHOST
mean, helicopter tour over the canyon.
RyanHOST
You know, the Waimea Canyon is...
RyanHOST
Waimea Canyon is considered kind of Hawaii's Grand Canyon.
RyanHOST
And I've been there and it's absolutely amazing.
RyanHOST
So helicopter touring there up on the north coast doing something in water.

Dennis McKennaHOST
And among those things, I think in the early part of the book, you discuss this rather profound LSD trip you had.
Dennis McKennaHOST
in Waimea Canyon.
Dennis McKennaHOST
I've been there many times, not on LSD, unfortunately, but I've been there a lot of times.
Dennis McKennaHOST
And that really got you thinking about the nature of consciousness in a certain way.
Tam HuntGUEST
People who know acid know that's enough for an entree, but it's not a deep dive.
Tam HuntGUEST
It's like 150 micrograms.
Tam HuntGUEST
I think by the time my third or fourth journey came around, I had gotten four hits to go to Kauai with my then girlfriend and do a journey with her in Waimea Canyon, which is this beautiful deep canyon on the west side of Kauai.
Tam HuntGUEST
She broke up with me right before I left for this journey.
Marcie CheungHOST
Kauai is where my own trip is happening this November, and it's still a car-first island for the same reasons it always has been.
Marcie CheungHOST
Waimea Canyon, the North Shore beaches, Hanalei, none of it is reachable by bus in a way that actually works for a vacation.
Marcie CheungHOST
Kauai's local bus does run a North Shore route now that I'll talk about in a little bit, but it's not really built for somebody trying to see the island efficiently.
Marcie CheungHOST
And the Big Island is still the one where the sheer size makes a car close to mandatory if you want to see both Kona and Hilo sides, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, and anything off the resort strip.
5 MINS LATER
Marcie CheungHOST
Kauai's local bus runs a North Shore route now.
Marcie CheungHOST
Ihoe, Tu, Hanalei, and Bap, roughly hourly, fares are about $2 a ride or $5 for a day pass.
Marcie CheungHOST
It's a nice option if you're staying along that route, but it still doesn't reach Waimea Canyon, Koke'e, or Haena, so it's really a supplement, not a substitute for a car.
Marcie CheungHOST
And here's the one that actually surprised me while I was researching this.
