stands out as the vacation destination of choice,
blending the enchantment of ancient Hawaii with all
modern conveniences. Kayak on the same river where
Indiana Jones escaped, or windsurf with playful
spinner dolphins swimming at your side. Enjoy a
whalewatching expedition, or explore exquisite
waterfalls on a scenic helicopter tour, or from a
zodiac craft. Sportfishing, scuba diving, and
snorkeling are all popular in the pristine waters
off the incomparable coasts. Horseback riding offers
breathtaking vistas from the mountains to the
beaches.
Kauai
is a magnificent natural setting for golf. Kauai is
home to many top-ranked courses as Golf Digest rates
four of the championship golf courses among the top
seven in the State of Hawaii and Wailua Municipal
Golf Course consistently ranks in the top 100
