Lihue Vacations

Kauai is the northernmost island in Hawaii and quite easily the most spectacular with the dramatic Napali Coast and Waimea Canyon, considered the Grand Canyon of the Pacific. There are numerous locations to snorkel and scuba dive, and there is much to see at the Salt Pond Beach Park. The island's 10 golf courses are each more spectacular than the last. There are interesting places to shop, incredible spas to relax in, and spectacular hotels to help you rest up. Kayak the Wailua River. Snorkel on Poipu Beach - winner of the Travel Channel's Best Beach award. Hike the trails of Kokee State Park. Even go ziplining above Kauai's lush valleys. Kauai will surprise and delight even the most avid travelers.

There are five major resort destinations on Kauai: North Shore (Princeville), East Side (Coconut Coast), Lihue (Kalapaki), South Shore (Poipu), West Side (Waimea). Lihue is home to the main airport and commercial center of the island and features a variety of beaches and natural wonders to explore. Bodysurfing, windsurfing and swimming make Kalapaki a popular destination. Ninini Beach is home to an automated lighthouse, operating since 1897. And just north of Lihue, don't forget to stop at the Wailua Falls lookout for an amazing waterfall view.
