Spotlight on Kaua’i

Written by BestCruiseSpot.com Editor

Known as “The Garden Isle” and “The Island of Discovery,” Kaua’i’s stunning natural beauty makes the perfect backdrop for hiking, golfing, kayaking, snorkeling, and simply relaxing on one of the island’s numerous beaches. When you explore Kaua’i, you’ll discover cascading waterfalls, lush greenery, lofty mountains, and tropical flowers that provide brilliant splashes of color. Although only about 550 square miles in diameter, Kaua’i has distinct microclimates-- from the sandy western plains to the cool mountain forests in Koke’e. Trade winds keep the average daily temperature hovering around 81ºF and the average minimum 69ºF. The south shore and the west coast tend to be sunnier and drier than the north shore and the eastern foothills. On Kaua’i’s east shore, you can watch the surfers at Kalapaki Beach. In Po’ipu, you’ll want to be on hand for the dramatic sunsets, and on the west side, be sure to visit Waimea Canyon, a 2,500-foot deep chasm with glowing red cliffs, green valleys, and white waterfalls.

In addition to sightseeing, visitors to Kaua’i enjoy a variety of activities such as sailing, fishing, snorkeling, surfing, windsurfing, scuba diving, and kayaking. On land, you can hike, play golf, go horseback riding, and mountain biking. Or how about a helicopter tour that provides superb views of the mountains, waterfalls, and valleys? For the adventurous, there are zipline tours, mountain tubing, and ATV excursions.

However you choose to spend your time, you’ll be able to look forward to relaxing in comfortable accommodations. Choices range from five-star properties such as The Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort & Spa to family-friendly furnished condos. And when you want to leave your hotel or condo to explore the island, you’ll find getting around Kaua’i is easy. Guided tours are available by bus, van, or limousine. Also, auto rental firms provide easy-to-follow maps and offer vehicles ranging from compact cars and jeeps to luxury models and minivans.

To make sure your Kaua’i vacation is the best it can be, we work with Hawaii destination experts such as Pleasant Holidays. Along with arranging air from your hometown, we can design a package that includes accommodations, car rental or transfers, and excursions of your choice. Contact us today for more information.
