If your idea of a tropical getaway is one that abounds with waterfalls, tropical forests, secluded beaches and majestic mountain skylines, Kauai just might be paradise found.
Kauai is smaller than the other islands and yet it has roughly the same physical features, making it very “user-friendly” for the visitor. The island is easily accessible by car and most everything is within a two hour drive. Whenever visiting the island, you’ll want to rent a car and explore Kauai’s natural beauty.
- FERN GROTTO - This hauntingly beautiful cave, luxuriantly festooned with growing ferns, is reached from the Wailua Marina.
- KEE BEACH PARK - A fine bathing and excellent snorkeling beach at the end of the road where the trail begins to the Napali Cliffs
- OPAEKA'A FALLS - The Wailua River makes a dramatic plunge over a high cliff. Opeaka’a means “rolling shrimp” and dates from days when swarms of shrimp were seen rolling in turbulent waters at the base of the falls.
- SMITH'S TROPICAL PARADISE - This 23-acre site has gardens, lagoons, exotic birds and a unique narrated train ride which meanders through a rain forest, a Polynesian village, a Japanese island, a Filipino village and other interesting areas. Kauai’s ethnic heritage is reflected nightly in a 75-minute musical production in the lagoon theater.
