Kauai's spectacular natural environment and easy accessibility
make it a perfect destination for today's adventure-seeker. Take
an invigorating mountain bike ride down Waimea Canyon Road, an
interpretive nature ride through the native forests of Kokee State
Park, or just a leisurely cruise on the beach. You can rent mountain
bikes and take guided tours on the Island's north, south and east
shores. Kauai is also a hiker's paradise. The rewards are unparalleled
views, tropical vegetation, streams, waterfalls, swimming holes
and most of all, exquisite isolation. The Napali Coast/Waimea
Canyon/Kokee region has the most extensive network of trails,
and there are a few others near the Wailua River. Kauai's mountainous
interior is also accessible by helicopter. Ride the skies into
the waterfall-lined crater of Mt. Waialeale or skim through a
twisting valley of the Napali coastline ...

Family Fun: The traditions of the many cultures
that make up life on Kauai center around ohana (family). Here, children
are not only welcomed; they're celebrated. This unique corner of the
tropics is a virtual playground for children. Family-oriented accommodations,
activities and restaurants make family trips safe, easy, fun and economical.
The Kauai Children's Discovery Museum in Kapaa isn't just for children.
Interactive exhibits, virtual reality games, and hands-on science
and art activities will delight adults as well. On Saturdays, the
Starlight Planetarium Program tells how the Polynesian voyagers used
the stars, winds and ocean to navigate their canoes across the Pacific.
Most of the major resorts on Kauai have programs for kids that include
fun, educational activities like Hawaiian crafts and cultural activities,
fishing, beach games, nature walks, surfing lessons, sand sculpture
contests, coconut frond weaving, tide pool explorations, tours of
historic sites, and fieldtrips led by local naturalists and other
experts.
Adventures: Kauai's spectacular natural environment and easy
accessibility make it a perfect destination for today's adventure-seeker.

interpretive nature ride through the native forests of Kokee State
Park, or just a leisurely cruise on the beach. You can rent mountain
bikes and take guided tours on the Island's north, south and east
shores. Kauai is also a hiker's paradise. The rewards are unparalleled

crater of Mt. Waialeale or skim through a twisting valley of the Napali
coastline. Helicopter flight-seeing tours are available from Lihue,
Port Allen and Princeville. By land, by sea, or by air, Kauai is a
refreshing fantasy full of adventure and discovery.
Golf: Like the Hollywood filmmakers who shoot here,
golfers go on location to Kauai for the spectacular scenic backdrops.
Of course, they also enjoy a good challenge. Here, the courses are
crafted by nature and helped along by some of the game's most talented
architects. The views could be considered an obstacle, as your mind
may wander onto seaside cliffs, into forested hills, or smack-dab
into the ocean. Just don't let your ball do the same. Each of Kauai's
courses has its own definition of “breathtaking” and there's always
one nearby no matter where you stay. Whichever one you choose, you
can count on breathtaking views and demanding play hole after hole.
