you will have plenty to do, and the some locals will be grateful for one less helicopter rider. there is a bit of controversy as to whether the helicopter tours detract from everyone else's experience. that being said, i'm not sure how else motion sickness can affect you, so i hope these recommendations are helpful.
hiking...waimea canyon and na pali are two very popular destinations and hiking trails range from easy to difficult. if you enjoy flora but not the hiking, there are several botanical gardens to visit and the variety of plant life will astound you. snorkleing...there are several beaches around the island where you can rent snorkle equipment and see fish without riding on a boat. of course there are many interesting historical sites and since kauai is so small, its a short car ride from place to place (i assume you can tolerate car travel). we travel to kauai to rest our senses, so we find the beach and the scenery reason enough to visit. e mail me if you'd like to know more. its one of our favorite places.

Why not get the motion sickness patch and enjoy doing everything! I got air and sea sick both and started taking Dramamine. It worked but made me very drousy. I now get a prescription patch you put behind your ear that lasts for days or hours depending on your need. Only side effect is a little dry mouth. I highly recommend it.

Hello, We took a heli-ride pre-Iniki with Jack Harter Helicopters. We actually got Jack as our pilot. This was '89, so don't know if he's still flying.
He made the flight so comfortable for all of us and took it nice and slow.
In '94 we took a post-Iniki flight with another outfit and that pilot thought he was TC on Magnum, PI. We almost blew chunks.
So, guess it may all depend on what type of pilot you get.
It's def. worth the risk. Beautiful!

You can definitely enjoy the beauty of Kaui w/out boating or a helicopter ride(which are great). If your into horses they have great packages were you can horseback ride to a cliff, then hike down to a lake w/a waterfall,, and then they serve you lunch. It was so much fun. Good luck & happy travels*

You are so lucky!! Kauai was THE most beautiful place I've ever visited. And yes - there's more than enough to do without the helicopter or boat tours. Paddle a kayak along the Wailea River. Drive along the coast to the Lighthouse and caves. Every where you look the scenery gets more and more beautiful. My husband has terrible bouts of motion sickness also and he loved our Hawaiian vacation.
