Experience Kauai

The natural beauty and purity of Kauai has been well preserved for millions of years, and because of this, the island is full of exciting options for discovery. The beaches soaked in sun rays are perfect for swimming, snorkelling and surfing (or learning how), or you may wish to just relax and read a book on the soft sandy shore. Lihue is the most popular city on the island and is full of interesting and impressive things to see and do. Step back in time and experience life at Kilohana Plantation Estate, a restored 14th Century estate with a sugar plantation village, traditional theatre, railway and working farm. To learn about Polynesian culture whilst in Kauai, we suggest participating in a traditional Luau, which is a celebration of food and entertainment and a must do when visiting Hawaii. On the east side of the island, the village of Kapa'a is the handmade shopping capital of Kauai. Enjoy many markets filled with handmade traditional crafts, jewellery and garments, why not take a taste of Kauai home with you.

For a step off the beaten track, take a car hire drive approximately 15 minutes north of Lihue to Wailua Falls. This double waterfall cascades 25 meters down a rock face and legend has it that the chiefs of old Hawaii had to take the risk of jumping from the top of this waterfall to prove their strength and courage. Continuing towards the North Shore of Kauai, Ha'ena State Park is a scenic wildland park home to 4,000 ancient sea caves, beach activities, shore fishing and spectacular views of the Na Pali Coast. The Na Pali Coast is one of the most inaccessible parts of the Island of Kauai but is spectacular to view from afar, as the chain of soaring mountains covered in lush green vegetation, forms steep cliffs plunging into the sea.
