A Spiritual place to mediate, to unwind and to relax.
We found a monk in the forest of Rudraksha and chatted
with him on history of Monastery.
To pray and worship in the temple of Monastery take a reservation at least
two weeks before the visit.

A highlight of our stay on Kauai! This Monastery was simply beautiful and peaceful.
A MUST for anyone who desires to be circumspect with religions, and who can see the beauty that connects us all.
Take the free tour. Shut off your phone. Enjoy nature.

You can keep your ziplines and tourist trap attractions - the Monastery is NOT to be missed. Please be respectful in attire, and give a donation. It's fascinating and simply remarkable. We will never, ever forget it.

The Hindu monastery and Kadavul Temple is a beautiful and serene place very close to the Kapaa beach and Lihue airport area. You have to make a reservation if you want to attend the 9am morning services/puja. The area around the monastery and temple are beautiful and serene. After the 9am services, we were able to get a tour of the new temple which is simply beautiful. There are beautiful gardens and a waterfall that all add to the serene and peaceful feeling here. There is also a gift shop that sells rudraskha beads in addition to many other items.

Breathtaking views and location, must see whatever your religious beliefs are ! It is open only from 9am to noon and the walk to the larger monastry is only through a tour guide (free) and the tours are at 9.30am and 10.45am.

The Hindu monastery, with its tranquil setting, is truly a remarkable place. The serene surroundings, lush green landscapes, and an atmosphere conducive to meditation make it an extraordinary retreat for spiritual seekers. The monastery's peaceful ambiance enhances the experience, offering a serene escape into a world of tranquility and reflection.

Do you have to pay for a tour or can you just walk around on your own? I’ve read that parking was an issue, if we arrive early will we be ok?
Escrita el 1 de mayo de 2019
No charge for the tour, but there is an opportunity to donate. Parking is very limited. They ask that you either reserve parking well in advance or take a taxi/Uber/Lyft.

I just looked up hotels located close to the Hindu Monastery and the nearest hotel listed is Hilton Garden Inn in Wailua Bay which is 3.9 miles away. Other than that, all hotels located in Kapaa, Kauai are 4.4 miles away, and those are the closest. We stayed in Kapaa. So, I guess any hotel in Kapaa would be a good location.

I forgot to pack long pants. Will they provide sarong to cover up?
Escrita el 1 de agosto de 2018
Yes, there is several places to grab a sarong, but they were in such high demand when I was there we had to wait until someone was finished with their visit.

Does the Hindu Monastery tour in Kauai involve a long walk? My brother wears a leg brace and cannot take long walks.
Also, how do I contact them to make a reservation?
Escrita el 7 de febrero de 2018
It won't take real long walk... moderate walk to get to temple..and in-between you get benches to rest if needed.

Hi! everybody!
We plan to visit the island of Kauai on November 30 and Dec. 01 this year by cruise ship and would be landing on port of Nawiliwili. We would appreciate to know, from you all who have been fortunate to visit this Temple and the monastery.
Which is the best way to visit this from the port?
How far is this from the port?
What is the best time to visit so that we can attend Aarti ceremony and catch the 'tour' - if that can be said so - to know this place well.
Any more helpful info. will also be highly appreciated. We'll be the family of four visiting all the way from NY and would like to make this visit a memorable one.
Thank you, all.
- Dilip Desai.

Namiste fellow travelers. The monastery is quite worth the time and effort. There are no tours in December so you may just be able to slide in on the last tour of the year! There is the link for cruise ship passengers provided by the monastery; himalayanacademy com/visit/cruise-passengers. I am not sure you will be able to make the 9am start tour start time. The drive is very pleasant from the port along the water and you will need advance reservations to park (free) so call the monastery and get your slot after you have reserved your rental car. Enjoy your visit, follow their clothing suggestions and bring bug spray! The mosquitoes are right at the entrance where you wait for the monk who will be giving the tour and there is no escaping them!

Is there a Air port to visit Kauai and Hindu Monastery and lord Siva Temple ? More about Siva Lingam . About to stay in Kauai for one or two days.
Escrita el 4 de noviembre de 2015
The Siva Lingam is truly noteworthy and the attending priest is from Malaysia and speak good Tamil.
Escrita el 6 de noviembre de 2015
The monastery is open for day visits to the public only. You can go for the morning puja, about 2 hours and then tour the grounds, beautiful gardens and temples and visit the gift shop. There are guided yours certain days of the week. Look at their website for details.

how far is the Monastery from the cruise port?
Escrita el 10 de febrero de 2015
Hi Patricia,
The following text is from the Monastery's site:
If you are coming to Kauai on a cruise ship and would like to visit the monastery and temple, the following information will be helpful. It will be best to email us in advance to help facilitate your visit.
DAILY TIMING
There are two temples at our monastery, the small Siva Nataraja temple called Kadavul Temple and the new, all stone Iraivan Temple which is still under construction.
Kadavul Siva Temple is open daily between 9am and 12 noon for puja worship, and after 10:30am for exploring.
During its construction, Iraivan temple is open to visitors who have made reservations for a guided tour, which starts sharp at 9am. See our Public Tour page for details.
The monastery is closed after noon and all afternoon to tourist visitors.
So make sure you plan to visit us first! Do your shopping and local sight-seeing after you come the temple. Remember: 9am to 12pm each morning.
TRAVEL AND VISIT TIME GUIDELINE
You should plan for at least 1/2 hour travel to the monastery and 1/2 to get back to the boat if you are going by taxi. If you are renting a car, you will need to add time for pick up and return.
It will be best to have at least 1 hour here. Therefore you should allow at least 2 1/2 hours if the temple is your only stop. If the boat departs late in the afternoon, come to the temple first and do your sight-seeing second.
TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS
Car Rental: Car rentals are done near the airport, which is a 10-minute drive from the dock. This is your least expensive option. The car rental companies have shuttles that you can take from the dock to pick up your car.
Taxi: You may hire a taxi bring you to the monastery and then call a taxi, or arrange for one to return and take you back to the boat at a pre-arranged time. This can be a good option if you plan to be here all morning (arriving at 9 am and staying until 12 noon) Taxis charge about $40.00 each way.
Hire a driver: Most cab companies offer a rates for longer periods, e.g. 4-8 hours at about $60.00 an hour. If you can afford this, it is a convenient way to first come to the temple, have the driver wait, then have him take you sight-seeing and shopping. The drivers are very familiar with the area.
Kauai Bus Services: Kauai's bus service does not come to the temple. But it may be an inexpensive option for visiting other places on the public bus route.
Enjoy your trip! I hope to hear about your experience at the Monastery.
Respectfully,
Sandra
