It’s All About Activities

Those who know Hawaii best will tell you that Kauai is the most accessible of the islands. It’s easy to get around, and even short distances bring dramatic contrasts. In the same time it takes to scoot over to Poipu’s sunny beaches from Hokuala, one can just as easily be hiking through a tropical rainforest on the North Shore. And happily, as the least populated, most unspoiled in all Hawaii, Kauai exploration remains a very intimate and personal experience.

ON THE WATER

Surf and Sand

If water is your muse, this is heaven on earth. As you come to know Kauai, you come to realize that all the best beaches are in your neighborhood. Stroll over to the sandy crescent that is Kalapaki Bay beach. Minutes away, through the tree tunnel, are the endless stretches of Poipu and the cliffs at Shipwreck. There are simply no boundaries to ways you can immerse yourself in the wondrous Pacific. Imagine deep sea fishing, spellbinding diving, whale watching and more.

ABOVE THE SURFACE

Rainforest and Rivers

Rain forests, soaring waterfalls and inland rivers unique to Kauai–this is the essence of native Hawaii. Here are the heavenly waterfalls, Wailua, Waipoo, Waialeale, Opaekaa and Hanakapiai. Here is the tranquil Wailua, the only river in Hawaii you can explore by canoe, kayak and paddleboard. This is a land of unspeakable natural beauty.  At Hokuala, you are at the center of it all. Picture zip-lining over lush canopies, ATV or jeep excursions or tubing along a plantation-lined series of canals as just a start to the adventure that awaits.

Ready, Set, Explore

With Hokuala at its center, Kauai dazzles with new discoveries. Giant green sea turtles swim past your paddleboard. Dolphins play alongside your sailboat. And each spring, the humpbacks return from vacation and to birth their calves. To the northwest is the iconic Na Pali Coast, accessible only by helicopter or boat. And to the northeast is the Grand Canyon of the Pacific, Waimea Canyon, home to majestic waterfalls, dazzling red rocks, and lush green foliage on its gorges and crags. This is Kauai, a garden of earthly delights beckoning exploration.
