Kauai Hawaii is know for its beautiful beaches and waters but there’s more to it than that. Here are also a lot you can see and do in the lands of the Garden Isle. Below are the land activities you can enjoy on the island of Kauai Hawaii.
1. Golf
Serious golf players will enjoy Kauai’s golf courses. Not only are the golf courses here considered as one of Hawaii’s best, they are also considered as one of the most challenging in the area. Play golf with an awesome view of the ocean or the mountains and be inspired in scoring a hole in one.
2. Horseback Riding
One of the best and fun ways to explore the Garden Isle is through horseback riding. Kauai boasts of a lot of scenic trails that visitors can explore like the Hanalei Valley, Haupu Valley, Mahaulepu Beach trails and the Waimea Canyon also dubbed as the Grand Canyon of the Pacific.
3. Hiking
Only about 10% of the Garden Isle is accessible by road. That means that if you really want to explore this majestic island then you have to do it by hiking. There are three best trails in Kauai:
* The Kukui Trail – a 5 mile (if counted round trip) trail that drops 2, 000 feet into the magnificent Waimea Canyon. This trail is also the shortest route if you want to go to the canyon floor. The Kukui Trail will begin off the Iliau Loop Trail.
* The Kuilau Trail – a 4.2 mile long (round trip). This trail will delight your eyes with sights of small waterfalls and nature. The trail head is located a mile past the University of Hawaii Agricultural Experimental Station which is located on Route 580.
*The Kalalau Trail – this trail is for the seasoned hikers. It starts at the Kee Beach at the end of Highway 25. This trail has the beautiful views of the Na Pali Coast and the Kee Beach.
4. Camping
Kauai is abundant on camping grounds found at state parks and county parks. Permits need to be secured before going camping though. Seven days are needed before your permit for camping at county parks can be released and in turn this permit will allow the owner to camp in one place for seven days. A fee of $3 is also needed to facilitate this although the permit is free for under aged children (18 below). Permits for state parks are free and let the user camp for five days.
5. Sight seeing
There are a lot of places and scenic views tourists can go to in Kauai Hawaii. There’s the Na Pali Coast’s cliffs that offers a beautiful view of Hawaii. In Lihue, tourists can take a tour of the Kauai Museum and other colorful Hawaiiana exhibits. You can also find wildlife sanctuaries in this region. The National Tropical Botanical Garden is also a must see in Kauai. It is one of the favorite places visitors go to at the South Shore region. Also, another hit place in the South Shore is the Spouting Horn, hole in the ocean that spits water into open air. It is best to visit this place on sunset where the water is a beautiful color of the rainbow because of the setting sun. At the West Side of Kauai you can find the Waimea Canyon, the place of Captain Cook’s monument. This monument was built as a tribute to the landing of Captain James Cook, a British Captain that landed on the island in the year 1778.
