Hawaii- Kauai
Kauai
Blooming with dramatic untouched natural beauty
Accurately described as‘ the Garden Isle’ Kauai is draped in emerald valleys, sharp mountain spires, jagged cliffs, ancient rainforests, forking rivers and cascading waterfalls- it’ s quite simply stunning. Kauai also has some of Hawaii’ s most picturesque beaches which range from family-friendly bays of sparkling blue water to adventurous surf breaks. At the crescent-shaped Poipu Beach Park on Kauai’ s southern shore, dip in the crystal clear waters, or grab a snorkel for a glimpse of the colourful marine life. Adventure seekers can also try their hand at bodyboarding or surfing and, from December to April it’ s not uncommon to spot humpback whales off shore. Wailua, on the east coast, is a hit with surfers, while at Lydgate Beach Park you can find two lava rock enclosed ocean pools that are perfect for first time snorkellers. Not to be outdone by the beaches, Kauai’ s lush landscapes are a true adventurer’ s playground. Hiking is one of the best ways to discover the island, so lace up your boots and explore Kokee State Park or Waimea Canyon, known as the‘ Grand Canyon of the Pacific’ which has numerous lookouts with stunning vistas. Adrenalin junkies will find plenty of thrills through helicopter tours, ATV adventures across rocky ridges, zipline safaris over the rainforest, paddling a kayak down the Wailua River or mountain tubing in the miles of water flumes at Lihue. For something more gentle, uncover the island’ s history and culture at either the Kauai Museum or Grove Farm Homestead Museum in Lihue or, for a true taste of local life, visit Hanapepe, Koloa and Waimea.
