The "Garden Island" offers wonderful scenery and abundant vegetation, idyllic waterfalls, the breathtaking Waimea Canyon, the great "hidden" valley of Kalalau. Landmarks include:Hanalei Bay, Wailua River, Nawiliwili Bay, Poipu Beach. Blessed with amazing natural spectacle and lavish vegetation, some call Kauai Hawaiiís most scenic island. Although it is the oldest among the Hawaiian islands (scientists estimate it to be 5.1 million years old), Kauai has become more beautiful with age. Anchoring the western part of the major Hawaiian islands, circular-shaped Kauaëi is the fourth largest in the state, with 552 square miles and 90 miles of coastline. Nearly 60,000 people call Kauaëi home. Kauai is home to two of the worldís great natural wonders. Measuring 10 miles long, two miles wide and over 3,500 feet deep, Waimea Canyon is the largest canyon in the Pacific. Carved over thousands of years ago by rivers and floods flowing from the summit of 5,080-foot Mount Waialeale, this canyon is such a visual spectacle that Mark Twain dubbed it the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific." Hugging the northwest coastline of Kauai is the Napali Coast, one of the most inspiring places on Earth. A day trip to Napali will bring you face to face with 2,000-foot sea cliffs and cascading waterfalls. Other scenic locales worth exploring include Hanalei Bay, Kilauea Point, Wailua River and Poipu Beach. On your next trip to Kauai enjoy the natural beauty and stay in one of our Kauai Home Rentals
Kauai is also a hikerís dream destination. The rewards are unrivaled views, tropical vegetation, streams, waterfalls, swimming holes and most of all, ideal isolation.

Imagine a balmy evening lit by a full moon and the sparkle of a thousand stars. Imagine a breeze that embraces the skin like a soft kiss. Imagine a gleaming rainbow over the mountains. A place like these were made for lovers. Snag a kiss along a mountain trail. Toast every sunset. Take off your shoes and walk hand-in-hand on a quiet palm-fringed beach. Doze to the sound of the surf while resting in each otherís arms. Kauai Vacation Rentals canít help but inspire romance. Entertaining Hawaiian guitar concerts and professional hula competitions are just some of the interesting events you can witness on Kauai. Be sure to pick up a local newspaper to see whatís hot in town. For art exhibits, artifacts and murals featuring the people, culture and geological history of Kauai, spend an afternoon at the Kauai Childrenís Discovery Museum, Kauai Historical Society, Kauai Museum or the Waioli Mission House.
Archaeologists speculate that the first ìtouristsî to Hawaii landed on Kauai perhaps as early as 500 A.D. The gentle Pacific Ocean trade winds that brought settlers from Marquesas, Tahiti, Samoa and other South Pacific islands were the same that eventually led Captain James Cook to make his first landing in Hawaii on the shores of Waimea, Kauai in 1778. Educational displays of the artifacts and contemporary crafts of the Native Hawaiians can be found at the Kauai Museum. Discover ancient sacred sites on the banks of rivers, near fishponds, in parks or set among the cliffs. Attend a luau (feast) at one of the resorts to see the dances and hear legends of Kauai. Other places where Kauaiís culture and beauty pervade are botanical and cultural gardens, the Kokee Natural History Museum, the Waioli Mission, and the charming historical towns of Hanalei, Hanapepe and Lihue. Hawaii's near-shore water temperatures remain comfortable throughout the year. The average water temperature is 74 degrees F. (23.3 C), with a summer high of 80 degrees F. (26.7 C). Wave action varies dramatically between winter and summer, and between island coasts. Summer waters are typically very gentle on all beaches. This changes in the winter on many north-facing beaches, as storms far out into the Pacific drive ocean swells towards the islands, building large breaking waves. As with island rains, wave conditions are often very localized, so if there is too much surf on your beach, you can usually find calmer water at a more sheltered beach. Strong currents can make any beach unsafe at any time during the year, but this is particularly true in the winter. When in doubt, simply ask your hotel staff or a lifeguard for recommendations and also look for warning flags and posted beach conditions.
