Enjoying A Hawaiian Vacation in Kauai
Kauai Hawaii is a wonderful place to visit and vacation as visitors can attest to as they return again and again. All of Hawaii is magnificent in its own right, however there is something special in Kauai.
Here are some of the fun things to do while you vacation on Kauai. Enjoy one or all whatever you feel like doing. Remember your on vacation after all!
One of the fun things to do on Kauai is to take the river cruise up the Wailua River. This is one of the most popular activities on Kauai. This cruise goes to Fern Grotto and allows visitors to experience the magnificent beauty of Kauai. Plus they provide different forms of entertainment and fun for everyone that takes this cruise. There are a number of tour companies that take visitors up the Wailua River in motorized boats that provide a variety of entertainment along the way.
For those vacationing in the fall and winter don’t miss the humpback whales that come to Kauai for the warmer waters. The whales travel from Alaska to Hawaii to mate and nurse their young in the warm waters.
There are many whale sighting excursions available and some even guarantee that you will see the whales during certain time periods or the trip is free. Now don’t be discouraged if you don’t wish to book a tour to see the whales. During the fall and winter the whale population is so great that you will also be able to see them off the shores of Kauai.
A family event is to enjoy the Kauai Discovery Museum. This is a must for children of all ages and those adults who are still young at heart. The Discovery Museum allows everyone to learn by way of a hands on method. So enjoy the exhibits and then walk over to the starlight planetarium for another great show.
If you are a nature lover at heart then a visit to the Na Pali Coast is a must do activity. This is a non vehicle traffic area that boasts a lush natural environment for those who want to view the lush greens of the area. You can choose to tour the Na Pali Coast by foot or water. There are several hiking trails that you can follow along the coast if that is what you are interested in.
If you would prefer to see the Na Pali Coast by water you can do so by motorboat, kayak or catamaran. There are also many group tours of the area that you can join that also include many amenities.
Another great adventure you can join on Kauai is to see an authentic Luau. The Luau is a combination of a dinner, dance and music. When you join the Luau you will be feasting upon huli-huli chicken and haupia. As you feast you will be able to watch the mystical dances and songs of your Luau Hosts.
Now not surprising is the fact that Kauai also has some magnificent golf courses for those who wish to play. There are a multitude of top rated golf courses right on the Island. Puakea Golf Course is just one of the finer courses to visit and play. The views as well as the courses are well worth your time.
Kauai has a little bit of everything for everyone whether you wish to tour, dine, golf or swim. The hardest thing you will come across on Kauai is how to fit everything in to your vacation time schedule. Enjoy!
