Best Hiking in Hawaii

[bl]

Hello,

I'm going to Kauai and Maui later in the year, and we plan to do a decent amount of hiking.  Some of the Hawaii tourist websites suggest getting guided tours.  I feel that with maps and well marked trails we should be OK. 

In general, are the trails in Kauai well marked?  I was hoping to get some sort of unbiased answer, or get pointed in the right direction for some unbiased information.

Thank you!

@bl in addition to posting your question here about Hawaii hiking trails, we would recommend also posting your question on the Hiking board and perhaps even the Add a Location board. Questions posted on this board (Ask an REI Employee) will mostly be fielded by employees, and because we don't have any stores in Hawaii, our employee expertise may be a bit more limited. If you post on those other boards, you'll have the benefit of reaching way more members!
