About Nawiliwili
Ships dock at Nawiliwili Harbor on Kauai's southeast coast, with no tendering. Kalapaki Beach, a sheltered cove, is a short walk from the pier, and the nearby Aloha Center has a coffee shop, art gallery and craft vendors. A free shuttle typically runs from the pier to nearby shopping on port days. Beyond the harbor area, guests need a tour, taxi or rental car, and rental cars can sell out.
