Things to do on Kauai
Looking for things to do on Kauai? Of course, exquisite Kauai is not fully appreciated until you've discovered her unparalleled natural beauty. Known as the "Garden Isle," it is the most lush and oldest of the Hawaiian Islands. The dramatic and rugged interior of the island is uninhabited; it is a landscape of pristine forests, plunging waterfalls, rainbows and breathtaking vales best seen from a helicopter. The Na Pali Coast is best explored by boat tours that will take you to remote beaches and caves. You can drive the rim of the Waimea Canyon, fly into its gorges or ride horseback to her floor. Visit Wailua Falls and Hanalei to the north, where you will find abundant valleys, soaring mountains and verdant rain forests.
Experience everything that Kauai has to offer. Whalers Cove concierge will be happy to recommend their favorite beaches, arrange for boat rides, dining, helicopter tours and other memorable activities.
