Amazing Hawaiian Islands - Kauai - Where Dreams Are Made

Kauai is also the oldest and northernmost of the Hawaiian Islands. The 550-square mile island is blanketed by lush tropical gardens and surrounded by sparkling blue waters.

The north shore of Kauai has some of the most spectacular landscapes on Earth. The Na Pali Coast features cliffs that rise 4,000 feet above the ocean. This area is also home to the gorgeous Lumahai Beach and the town of Hanalei.

The Na Pali Coast is a magical place to visit because of its caves, lava tubes, and sandy beaches. This is the perfect spot for nature lovers. You can tour the coast by foot on one of the many hiking trails, or you may sail along the island's shore.

Kauai's Coconut Coast is a cultural hotspot, and the Wailua River the tourists favorite. A river cruise goes to Fern Grotto and the Wailua River State Park. Whilst you are on the island, don't miss out on the Anahola Mountain or the Keahua Forestry Arboretum while visiting the Coconut Coast.

Lihue-Kalapaki is the hub of business and transportation on Kauai and Kauai's county seat. Here you can explore Kauai Museum and tour extensive exhibits of Hawaiiana along with remnants from the sugar plantation era, the Huleia National Wildlife Refuge, the Kauai Museum, and more!

Kauai Lagoons is for the avid golfer. It hosts an 18-hole golf course designed by Jack Nicklaus, as well as over 40 acres of freshwater lagoons.

The south shore of Kauai is perfect for those seeking historical treats or swimming and snorkeling. Besides a number of parks and beaches, you can visit the National Tropical Botanical Garden. And whatever you do, don't miss out on the natural lava tube formations in Spouting Horn.

The west side of this remarkable island features the breathtaking Waimea Canyon and Polihale State Park. If you are interested in Hawaiian culture, check out the sacred Polihale heiau. It is believed that this is one of the points from which the souls of the island's dead departed Kauai into the setting sun.

If you plan to visit Kauai in the autumn, book yourself a humpback whale sighting excursion. These boat trips are an amazing experience and if you decide against a sighting excursion on the ocean itself, you still may see a whale in the distance from the shore.

What would any Hawaiian vacation be without a luau? Kauai offers authentic luaus, which combine dinner, dancing, and music. Watch the hula dancers while you feast on huli-huli chicken and haupia!

Whether you seek a commune with nature, a golf getaway, a water sport adventure, or a cultural experience of a lifetime, Kauai has it all.

So, when you visit Hawaii, don't miss out on this ancient and mystical island and all it has to offer. For more details on the different regions of Kauai, browse the Internet. You'll find plenty of things you'll be dying to see in no time at all.

Kauai, Hawaii, a paradise that's well with everyone's reach.
