Kauai's Recovery Unfolds as Island Spirit Shines Through the Storm
The wind has moved on, but Kauai is still catching its breath. Hurricane Lowell swept through earlier this week, leaving behind flooding, powerful waves, and a landscape that now hums with the sound of generators rather than ocean breeze. Thousands remain without power as of Thursday, yet the cleanup crews are out in force, and the island's spirit refuses to dim. There's something quietly inspiring about watching a community rally after nature's punch, no drama, just steady hands and shared aloha. This is the Kauai we love: resilient, grounded, and deeply connected to the land. For those dreaming of island escapes, our guide to Kauai's golf scene captures that same authentic adventure, from tee to tide.
Kapaa's Power Remains Out, But Island Spirit Endures
Kapaa is sitting in the dark right now, and the hum of generators is probably the only thing breaking the quiet. It sucks, there's no way around that. No power means no hot coffee, no cold beer, no reprieve from the sticky air. But here's the thing about this island: we don't sit in the dark for long. The same spirit that gets us through a hurricane keeps the neighbors checking on each other and the local kitchens firing up whatever they can. It could always be worse, and honestly, this feels like a hiccup, not a heartbreak. For a deeper look at how we bounce back, our piece on Kauaʻi's recovery updates is worth a read. Hang in there, Kapaa.
Round Up, Give Back: Savor Maui Flavors, Support Local Causes.
A dollar might not feel like much, but when it's pooled across a community, it becomes a wave of change. That's the simple, delicious idea behind Round Up, Give Back at Hana Hou Hospitality's Maui restaurants. Diners at Māla Ocean Tavern, Coco Deck Lahaina, Pizza Paradiso, and Pineapple Robot can round their tab to the nearest dollar, with every single cent going straight to local nonprofits focused on cultural preservation, environmental stewardship, and community needs. It's an effortless way to turn a great meal into a meaningful gesture. Each quarter, a new organization benefits, so the impact stays fresh and focused. This feels like the kind of aloha that lingers long after the plate is clean.
