10 Things You Would Like About Kauai, Hawaii

by Phyllis Wheeler

Perhaps you are hankering for a sun-n-sand vacation. You might think of Hawaii, but you might have the mistaken notion that it’s too crowded.

Consider Kauai, the least crowded of the major Hawaiian islands. Want to hear 10 reasons why?

1. The snorkeling is great. There are colorful fish everywhere you put your mask in the water.

2. You can find great surf on Kauai and also tame wavelets. Those are on the sheltered south side.

3. Outfitters on the island offer zipline tours through the treetops and kayaking on scenic rivers and oceanfront.

4. The coast of northwest Kauai caught the eyes of several Hollywood directors, who used it in movies from South Pacific to Jurassic Park to King Kong and Raiders of the Lost Ark. It will catch your eye too! Take a boat, kayak, or helicopter to see it.

5. Possibly you are a frequent flyer. In that case, you may be able to use your miles to get there.

7. Scuba divers will like the safety factor of diving under U.S. liability laws.

7. Kauai is a great place for those seeking the road less traveled, away from the crowds.

8. Endangered wild life such as monk seals and sea turtles can be found in or near the beaches. Be careful not to touch! But do bring your camera.

9. You can find out all about Niihau, the neighboring island forbidden to outsiders for nearly 100 years, 17 miles away.

10. Because you can use U.S. currency, your vacation may be less expensive than at other, non-U.S. tropical destinations.

So, planning your next vacation, scope out Kauai.
