About Kauai Condo Rentals

Kauai, “the Garden Isle,” is the oldest of the Hawaiian Islands. Kauai is famous for its pristine beaches, dramatic cliffs, dense tropical foliage, awe-inspiring canyons, and majestic mountain ranges. These landscapes can be actively enjoyed in activities such as hiking, surfing, scuba diving, snorkeling, kayaking, deep-sea fishing, whale watching, golfing, horseback riding, camping, or just basking in the Pacific sun.

There are many ways to see the natural spectacle that is Kauai. The dramatic Na Pali Coast, dominating Kauai's northwestern shore, is famous for its spectacular waterfalls, cliffs, and hidden caves that lead to secluded swimming and snorkeling spots.

Helicopter tours are another way to experience Kauai's breathtaking vistas. Tours leave from Princeville on the north shore and from Lihue on the east shore. Tours frequent the Na Pali Coast and the Waimea Canyon, the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific.”

Kauai is home to the only navigable rivers on all of the Hawaiian Islands. Kayaking tours up the Hanalei River are popular on Kauai's north shore.

The larger Wailua River, on Kauai's eastern coast, is navigable by motorized boat. Cruise up the Wailua on a charter, complete with Hawaiian musicians and hula dancers, to the famous Fern Grotto. Also on the Wailua River is the famous Wailua Falls. The falls are best seen from the road, just a short trip from Lihue.

Visit one of the National Tropical Botanical Gardens for a look at the rich flora of “the Garden Isle.” Situated on the south shore of Kauai, the McBryde and Allerton Gardens, in the picturesque Lawai Valley, encompass more than 252 acres of garden and natural preserve. The Limahuli Garden and Preserve on the north shore extends over 1,000 acres in a verdant tropical valley covering three distinct ecological zones.

Golfers may never want to leave Kauai. Famous course architects like Jack Nicklaus and Robert Trent Jones Jr. have designed challenging links style courses in the Poipu, Princeville, and Lihue areas. The courses are famous for both their challenging layout and the magnificent views you have while you play them.

Magnificent beaches dot the coastline of Kauai. The north shore drive is dotted with beautiful beaches such as the crescent-shaped Hanalei Beach, Lumahai Beach, Anini Beach, the gold-sand Tunnels Beach, and Ke'e Beach.

Kalapaki Beach, on Kauai's “Coconut Coast” near Lihue, is conveniently located near food outlets, equipment rentals, and shopping opportunities. The southern shore of Kauai is lined with crescent shaped beaches that make for great swimming, snorkeling, and surfing-especially for beginners. Poipu Beach Park is considered one of the most beautiful and safest beaches on Kauai. (While in Poipu, don't forget to visit the Spouting Horn, Kauai's famous geyser). There are also miles of beaches on Kauai's western shore, including Kekaha and Polihale beaches, with views of Ni'ihau.

Another attraction is the Kilauea Lighthouse and Wildlife Refuge on Kauai's north shore. Although the lighthouse no longer operates as a beacon for ships, the promontory offers beautiful vistas and a natural habitat for native birds.

Whether your tastes for paradise include total relaxation or active adventure, a vacation on “the Garden Isle” will satisfy every appetite.
