More about Kauai

Nature reigns, so Kauai vacations become adventures effortlessly. On such a compact island, it's easy to take day trips from your Lihue vacation rental to Waimea Canyon, Grand Canyon of the Pacific, which feels as horizontally vast as the Na Pali Coast State Park is vertically steep. Both bio-rich attractions lure visitors and tour groups year after year. Boat out to view Na Pali's fingered cliffs reaching down to the sea and snorkel off the coast. Bike or drive to Waimea Canyon (sunscreen, hat, and ample water in tote). Swim with the fish just steps from your Poipu Beach house ,sunniest spot on the island. Take a tour kayaking to Wailua Falls for a treat down Wailua River, through a park, then hike through forests to get to the falls from Kapaa your vacation rental. Kauai is as romantic as it is family friendly. Plenty of day trip activities. Plenty of peace at night.
