30 days prior to travel. The vast majority of time price does not go

Kauai Hawaii
Called The Garden Isle because of its lush vegetation.
Characterized by ivy-draped cliffs, botanical gardens and a rugged
coast line that is truly breathtaking!
Sheer sea cliffs off Na Pali Coast and Waimea Canyon are
unparalleled in beauty. Kauai's dramatic valleys and etched
canyons offer visitors a world of wonders.
The resort areas are located along the eastern coast, reaching northern and southernmost points of the island. This leaves the
center of the island beautifully uninhabited and unspoiled. Sunny south shore of Kauai offers enticing golden beaches. Mt. Waialeale, one of two wettest spots on earth, keeps Kauai in
amazing shades of green and fuels Kauai's beautiful waterfalls.
On The Garden Isle, you see sites that are unforgettable and
unparalleled in beauty!
Hawaii's oldest and westernmost island - is the embodiment
of paradise. From breathtaking golden beaches and magnificent
cliffs, to constant rainbows and thriving rainforests, this
"Garden Isle" is unadulterated bliss. This island's pervasive
beauty has been celebrated by everyone from Mark Twain, who dubbed Waimea Canyon "The Grand Canyon of the Pacific," to the filmmakers
who have set their movies against the scalloped cliffs and valleys
of Na Pali Coast for South Pacific, Blue Hawaii, and Jurassic
Park, among many, many others.
A drive across the island only takes 2 hours, so you can see
every thing with ease from behind the wheel, or leave your car
behind and take a boat trip down Wailua, Hawaii's only navigable
river, to the natural amphitheater at Fern Grotto. Endless famous
beaches and fabulous resorts combine golfing, horseback riding,
fishing, and hiking galore to make a trip to Kauai a
vacation of a lifetime!
Since
Kauai is the oldest and most tropical Hawaiian island, you'll
find beauty and variety everywhere - roam the dramatic Na Pali
coast to incredible Waimea Canyon, from mystical Hanalei to the
Bali Hai mountain. On the northern side, Mt. Waialeale is the
wettest spot on earth, with almost 500 inches of rain a year!
While in the south, Poipu offers some of the sunniest beaches on
the island. No wonder so many films, including Jurassic Park and
South Pacific, have been shot here!
Waimea Canyon ("Grand Canyon of the Pacific"), Wailua Falls,
Fern Grotto, and magnificent Na Pali coast are highlights of
the "Garden Isle," and sights not to be missed.
Also known as a land of menehunes, Hawaii's "little people"
who, according to legend, preceded Polynesians by centuries
and built massive fish ponds and other structures in single
nights.
The sheer beauty of Kauai has made it a favorite of honeymooners
and others who relish a quiet life. But even on this unhurried
island, there's plenty to do, such as helicopter tours, golf,
tennis, rafting and river cruises. |
