Popular outdoor attraction |
Kokee Road (Highway 552) Kauai, HI 96796 United States +1 808 587 0400 http://www.hawaii.gov/dlnr/dsp... |
A favorite place for hikers, campers and picnickers, this park is located on the western shore of Kauai. The centerpiece is Waimea Canyon. One of the best ways to see the canyon is to hike the easy Iliau Nature Loop, located between Mile Marker 8 and 9. A half-dozen other trails are available. Some of them are easy and some are arduous. The Koke'e Natural History Museum, located inside the park, is a great place to learn about the surroundings, research the trails or pick up a map. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Majesty of nature |
Northwest shore (end of Highway 56) Kauai, HI 96714 United States +1 808 274 3444 |
The sea cliffs of Kauai's west side tower above the wild and beautiful ocean, sometimes reaching as high as 4,000 feet above sea level. They give Na Pali its name, which is Hawaiian for "The Cliffs." In addition to being considered one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world, this 17-mile stretch also offers some of the world's best hiking. Less hardy sightseers will want to tour the area by helicopter or boat. There are several companies that offer Na Pali adventures. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Miles of white sand |
End of Highway 50, past Kekeha Kauai, HI 96796 United States +1 808 587 0400 http://www.hawaii.gov/dlnr/dsp... |
If you travel to the west side of Kauai and follow the road as far as it goes, you will wind up at this state park. This is as close to the Na Pali Coast as you will get, unless you travel by helicopter or boat. Polihale consists of a stretch of beach that snakes for miles around the coast. It is actually famous for being home to the Shifting Sands beach—a somewhat eerie concept, but definitely worth the drive to experience for yourself. Review © 2007, Wcities |

As viewed on Fantasy Island |
Off Highway 580 in Kapaia Valley (North of Hanamaulu) Kauai, HI 96766 United States |
The backdrop of the famed Fantasy Island television show, this stunning waterfall is located directly off the road, just past the town of Lihue on the southern coast of Kaua'i. It is just a short ride down a rough road in Kapaia Valley. The falls can be viewed from the side of the road, but there is a trail for experienced hikers. It is steep and challenging, and local tour guides recommend that only the hardiest adventurers try to make the descent. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Grand Canyon of the Pacific |
Koke'e Road (Highway 552) Kauai, HI 96752 United States +1 808 274 3433 |
More publicity has been allotted to magnificent Waimea Canyon, located in Koke'e State Park, than perhaps any other landmark in the Hawaiian Islands. The words often attributed (mistakenly) to Mark Twain describe it best. This is the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific," a breathtaking spectacle from any angle. There are a few ways to view Waimea Canyon; several tour companies offer helicopter or airplane tours. However, many people choose to make the trip to the canyon by car. Outdoor enthusiasts may choose to camp in the park (permit required). Review © 2007, Wcities |
