Scenic Spots On Kauai, Hawaii

It is always fun to be walking along a Kauai beach and discover a Hawaiian monk seal sunning on the sand. Residents are very protective of Hawaii's state mammal because they are one of the only two remaining monk seal species on Earth and their habitat is limited to the Northwest Hawaiian Islands and the main Hawaiian Islands, especially Kauai, Oahu and Molokai.

A must-see for anyone visiting Kauai, especially if you are a bird or whale lover, is the Kilauea Lighthouse. It is a photographer's dream location. Sweeping, panoramic, whitewater views, with sea birds circling above and burrowing on land, one can not help but get an impressive shot of the beauty that makes Kauai so special.

I had heard that Captain Andy's Na Pali Coast Sunset Dinner Sail is a great way to celebrate any occasion. So Tom and I decided to give it a go for our wedding anniversary.

Lots of visitors who come to Kauai want to hike to a waterfall and I have just the one for you. In fact, on this hike you get two falls for the price of one hike and it is free. Ho'opi'i Falls is on the Kapa'a Stream.

Anini Beach, on the north shore of Kauai, is one of my favorite beaches. It is a long stretch of coastline protected from the breaking waves by a shallow lagoon, perfect for snorkeling. Choose from the boat launch and wind surfing beach where there are public bathrooms and picnic tables

Wailua Falls and 'Opaeka'a Falls are two of the most accessible falls you are able to view on Kauai, Hawaii. They are both breathtakingly beautiful in their own way, especially after heavy rains in the mountains. This week I decided to drive a few miles out of our way to check out both falls.

Do you want to go hiking on Kauai but feel like you need a guide? Hike Kauai With Me may just be the company you're looking for.

If you are looking for what to do in Kauai and you are a hiker, try the Okolehao Trail which is on the mountain behind Hanalei, just down the hill from Princeville. Let me warn you, however, this hike is

According to scientists, visiting the beach can change your brain in an incredible way? I can't be sure this is true but according to http://shareably.net/visiting-the-beach/?utm_source=hp_fb_share&utm_medium=facebook&utm_campaign=undefined and an article written by Alexandrea Becker, it definitely is. All I know is that when I go to the most beautiful beaches on Kauai some of these things seem to happen to me!

When I woke up this morning and saw clear skies and sunshine I knew I needed to step away from the computer for awhile and go on a much needed walk. What better place than Hanalei Bay; where the lush, green mountains meet the sea!

If you are ready to experience Kauai as the ancient Hawaiians did, be sure to visit Limahuli Valley on the north shore of Kauai. This beautiful valley looks much like it did 1,500 years ago when the Hawaiians called it home.

Summer is approaching and Na Pali Catamaran offers a sea tour down the Na Pali Coast from Hanalei Bay. Most boat tours leave out of Port Allen on the west side of the island (90 minute drive away), but a few have a license to leave right out of Hanalei Bay (5 minute drive away).

Who wants to be in the movies? There is a casting call for extra and specialty work happening on Saturday, March 31st. It is for a Disney feature film being filmed on Kauai this summer. The title is still under wraps but rumor has it that the film is based on the Disneyland theme park ride Jungle Cruise.
