Kauai is An Island With More Than Its Share of Earthly Delights
A visit to Kauai, Hawaii is like a visit to all the best places in the tropics condensed on one island. Kauai supports so much geographic diversity that it is broken up into regions just so that visitors can comprehend it all. Staying at a Kauai Luxury Resort in any region of the island will delight visitors. Whether visitors concentrate on the North Shore, South Shore, West Side, Coconut Coast, Lihue/Kalapaki or mix and match to their heart’s content, they will feel refreshed and rejuvenated. If an island held the wonders of only one of Kauai’s regions, it would be considered a paradise.
The North Shore is all about drama. The cliffs on the Na Pali Coast command your attention and awe as they rise impossibly high from the sea below. The lush green mountaintops do all they can to divert your attention from the startling blue sea. Take time to leave your Kauai Luxury Resort to explore the Waikanaloa and Waikapolae Wet Caves. After your underwater experience, head to the Kilauea Lighthouse for a spectacular above water experience. Gaze out from the bluff from the most northernmost point in the Hawaiian Islands.
The West Side is a delightful mixture of Hawaiian culture mixed among stunning natural scenery. Visit the Waimea Canyon, deemed the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific,” by one of America’s most treasured writers, Mark Twain. Rest up at your Kauai Luxury Resort before spending a day at one of the South Shore’s golden beaches. Soak in the sun or soak in some of the many cultural sites, such as the Koloa History Center. Save some time for a trip through the National Tropical Botanical Garden. Kauai is home to the only tropical botanical garden in the United States to be chartered by Congress.
The East side is split into Lihue/Kalapaki and Coconut Coast. Lihue is the county seat and the place to see government in action. At the Kauai Museum learn about the geology, fauna, flora you have experienced during your stay. Also see artifacts from the missionary and plantation periods. The staff at your Kauai Luxury Resort can help you plan out the things to see in Coconut Coast, including Holo-holo-ku Heiau, the sacred site of many royal births on the island. In Kapaa Town collect souvenirs of your journey through paradise.
