Kauai
Kauai has a lush, rural feel and a laid-back lifestyle
all its own. After all, Kauai is Hawaii's oldest island and, as
first-born, has a legacy of paradise to uphold. And what a paradise!
A trip around Kauai is a feast of green, tropical forest, cascading
waterfalls, golden sand beaches and the time of your life.
Your circumnavigation will be interrupted by one
of the world's greatest natural wonders, the Napali Coast. Don't
be daunted. Take to boat or helicopter to witness its 14 miles
of vertical seamounts falling into a necklace of white surf spray.
Your heart will skip a beat. Kauai does that to you over and over
again. Welcome to Kauai - Hawaii's Island of Discovery.
Before dashing off to experience everything there
is to do on Kauai, remember this island's main attraction is its
natural beauty and the unassuming lifestyle of the people. Pace
yourself and let the local culture sink in wherever you go. There's
always something going on somewhere-free hula shows, coffee plantation
tours, a ride on a slow boat up the river. You can rent a bike
and fly down a mountain, find a kayak and paddle upstream, go
diving, horseback riding, or sports fishing. You can go to a luau,
take the kids to a discovery museum, listen to Hawaiian musicians
strumming soft guitars or just stare at the moon. It's all good
on Kauai
Because of its untouched appearance, many say it is the most
beautiful one. Kauai has more rivers, streams, and waterfalls
than any of the other islands. Kauai is the only island in Hawaii
that does not allow a building to be built higher than a coconut
tree (four stories.)
