Enjoying Vacation in Kauai Hawaii

September 21, 2006 By: Vacation Traveler Category: Kauai Comments Off

Here are some of the fun things to do while you vacation on Kauai.  Enjoy one or all whatever you feel like doing.  Remember your on vacation after all!

One of the fun things to do on Kauai is to take the river cruise up the Wailua River.  This is one of the most popular activities on Kauai.  This cruise goes to Fern Grotto and allows visitors to experience the magnificent beauty of Kauai.  Plus they provide different forms of entertainment and fun for everyone that takes this cruise. There are a number of tour companies that take visitors up the Wailua River in motorized boats that provide a variety of entertainment along the way.

For those vacationing in the fall and winter don’t miss the humpback whales that come to Kauai for the warmer waters.  The whales travel from Alaska to Hawaii to mate and nurse their young in the warm waters.

There are many whale sighting excursions available and some even guarantee that you will see the whales during certain time periods or the trip is free.  Now don’t be discouraged if you don’t wish to book a tour to see the whales.  During the fall and winter the whale population is so great that you will also be able to see them off the shores of Kauai.

A family event is to enjoy the Kauai Discovery Museum.  This is a must for children of all ages and those adults who are still young at heart.  The Discovery Museum allows everyone to learn by way of a hands on method.  So enjoy the exhibits and then walk over to the starlight planetarium for another great show.

Watching Birds in Kauai, Hawaii

July 09, 2006 By: Vacation Traveler Category: Kauai Comments Off

Red-footed boobies, brown boobies, red-tailed tropicbirds, wedge-tailed shearwaters, and great frigatebirds – these are only some of the rare species of birds you will get to see on Kauai.

Kauai’s active volcanic days are long gone. What is left now is an island of emerald green lushness, highlighted to the north with sheer scenic canyons and coastal cliffs. In the lush Kauai rainforest, honeycreeper specialties as Anianiau, Akekee, and the Kauai Amakihi abound, while on the flooded taro fileds can be found Hawaii’s endangered wetland birds, including the scarce Koloa (or the Hawaiian Duck).

The best time to go boobies-watching in Kauai is in March, the month when seabird diversity is at its peak. Many seabirds nest in these distant Pacific Islands. At Kilauea Point can be found some of the most spectacular of all seabirds, including the nesting Laysan Albatross. Don’t be surprised if some of the adults glide by you at eye-level and see huge nestlings sitting in the shade of ironwood trees.
