Kauai Hawaii Island Video - What To Do In Kauai Hawaii U.S.A.
Kauai is Hawaii's oldest of the four major islands It is also one of the most lush. It's no wonder they call The Garden Island.

Visitors to Kauai flock to the Waimea Canyon State Park to see one of Hawaii's greatest scenic treasures--Waimea Canyon. Mark Twain on his visit to Kauai called Waimea Canyon the Grand Canyon of the Pacific due to its sheer cliff and canyon walls 3,000 feet high. Mount Wai'ale'ale receives a massive amount of rainfall making it one of the wettest places on earth.
One of the most interesting way to see the coastal Waimea canyon walls is by helicopter and if you are even more adventurous take a sport helicopter and fly the coast route with the door off. This gives you uninterrupted views perfect for photography and a thrilling ride. If you happen to do this I hope you post a video of it. I would love to see it.
My visit to Kauai was via cruise ship. Carnival Cruise Line's Spirit departing Vancouver British Columbia and stopping in Maui, The Big Island, Kauai and finally Oahu.

The rural, slow paced setting of west side Kaua‘i is set amongst a dramatic backdrop, with rich red soils and an arid environment that makes it a distinct ecological area of the island. This off the beaten path region contains one of the world’s most famous attractions, and also has a lively arts scene, shopping, and dining, where traces of cultural traditions remain.
On the way to the west side, you’ll also pass 3,100 stretching acres of coffee, which is the largest thriving farm in both Hawai‘i and the United States.
The quaint town of ‘Ele‘ele is home to Port Allen, which is a major location for boat tours of the breathtaking Nā Pali coastline.
Known as the “Biggest Littlest Town” on Kaua’i, the festive Hanapepe has an unmistakable architectural flair found in the shops and storefronts. As the art capital of the island, its vivacious history and creative edge make this locale well worth a visit. “A colorful, charming west-side town, Hanapepe has more art galleries than anywhere else on
Kaua’i.”
After exploring Hanapepe town, the neighboring Salt Pond Beach Park is a cultural cornerstone. The area is named for its Hawaiian salt collecting tradition, and is located next to the only natural salt ponds on Kaua’i. “The protective crescent-shaped cove makes it a great place for families to swim or snorkel, and it also remains a great surf and wind-surfing spot.”
Situated at mouth of the Waimea River, Fort Elizabeth is another historic landmark on the west side. Commonly known as the Russian Fort, built in 1817, this area is open for self-guided tours.
Stained with deep red sediment, the Waimea River flows into the highest elevation wet-forest in the world, Alaka’i Swamp. “Meandering through the scenic Waimea Canyon, this Kaua‘i river is just over 12 miles in length, and is one of the longest in the state.”
The town of Waimea, which translates as “red fresh water,” is founded on the flood plain of the river. Famously known as the site of Captains Cooks arrival to the Hawaiian Islands in 1778, Waimea Town is a historic Kaua‘i gem.
Waimea resides at the foot of one of the most awe-inspiring natural wonders of Kaua’i. Waimea Canyon is a geological masterpiece of distant gorges, green valleys and flowing streams draped in layered lava rock. “Waimea Canyon is considered to be the grand canyon of the pacific.”
At fourteen miles long, one mile wide, and more than 3,600 feet deep, this iconic natural wonder encompasses the adjoining Waimea Canyon State Park and Kōkeʻe State Park. Traveling up the winding canyon road, the increasing elevation reveals chilly breezes, and an alternate ecosystem with sugi pine trees, regal koa forests, and native bird species, like the bright red ʻapapane.
Encompassing 4,345 acres, Kōkeʻe State Park has nineteen hiking trails to explore. Poised on a plateau between 3,200 and 4,200 feet, the park also has numerous overlooks that dot the road, like the picturesque Kalalau Lookout. “The overlook offers a view from over 4,000 feet above sea-level, where you can see for miles into the lush valleys and mountain seascapes.”
Kekaha Beach Park is the last lifeguarded western beach, with faraway views of the forbidden Niʻihau Island.
Signifying the beginning of a world renowned seventeen mile contiguous stretch of golden sand, Polihale is just beyond Mana Village and a (five mile long) dirt sugarcane road. “The longest beach in the state of Hawai’i, Polihale State Park features scenic views of the majestic Nā Pali coastline, magical sunsets, and sand dunes reaching 100 feet.”
Despite the enchanting allure of this famous beach, strong currents with no lifeguard make it very dangerous for swimming and other ocean activities. This beach is extremely hot, with clear days and little shade by the shoreline.
Experience the west side of Kaua’i, a treasure of island history, arts, and distinctive shopping and dining tucked away in the spectacular natural splendor.

Swaying coconut palms trace the coastline on the eastern shore of Kaua’i. Known as the “Coconut Coast,” the east side is centrally located on the island with a thriving town center, numerous natural attractions, beaches, hiking, and a popular bike path. The east side has the largest population density on Kaua’i, and is equally distant to both sides of the island, making it a great base to explore a full day on either the west or north shores.
“‘The Royal Coconut Coast’ was originally reserved for the ali‘i, or royalty, of the Hawaiian Kingdom.”
In the distance, you’ll see the mythical Nounou Mountain range, famously known as the “Sleeping Giant,” and pass Lydgate State Park, a favorite family beach spot. Lydgate’s two protected swimming lagoons and lifeguards make it a safe location for beginners.
Featuring renowned waterfalls, scenic overlooks, sacred sites and adventurous hikes, Wailuā is a noteworthy east side village where many local residents call home. These green vistas were a dominant religious and governmental center on the island, now displaying many cultural landmarks and plenty of outdoor activities.
Adjacent to the road is the Wailuā River, a twenty mile long waterway that flows from one of the wettest spots on earth, Mt. Wai′ale′ale. With an average of 450 inches of rainfall per year, this mountain is one of the highest peaks on the island.
“The lush backdrop of the Fern Grotto is located 2 miles upstream the Wailuā River, which is the only navigable river in Hawai’i.” Commonly accessed via river cruise or kayak, this verdant grotto is a unique geological formation, displaying a fern canopy that drapes over volcanic rock.
The park also contains also contains the Wailuā Complex of Heiaus, a cluster of sacred sites that date back to prehistoric Hawai’i.
Driving uphill a scenic overlook at ʻŌpaekaʻa Falls reveals a stunning view of this 151 foot high, 40 feet wide waterfall. “ʻŌpaekaʻa Falls is one of the island’s most popular and conveniently-located waterfalls.”
Historic old Kapa‘a town is a vibrant destination. With diverse shops and cafes radiating from the historic town core. Bustling with shops and restaurants, old Kapa‘a town is a popular hub among both tourists and locals. Park anywhere and you are just steps from the excitement that over 100 locally businesses can offer.
The streets come alive every first Saturday of the month when old Kapa‘a town businesses stay open late. Crafters, vendors, and local musicians join in on the festivities for a family-friendly good time. The first saturday event is a collaboration between local business, and the Kapa‘a Business Association also known for hosting the acclaimed coconut festival the first weekend of every October in the Kapa‘a Beach Park.
The Kauai Products Fair is located in Northern Kapa’a. Local vendors, artists, and craftsmen display their unique, hand-made products. Here you can find a special keepsake to take home and remember Kauai forever. For something unique visit the Kauai Products Fair for their weekly festival. It happens every Friday from 5 to 9 and features live music, entertainment, and art.
After enjoying the town center, Kealia Beach is a spectacular seaside location
“Named Ka Ala Hele Makalae, or The Path Along the Coast, this paved trail offers a view of Kaua‘i’s east-side coastline.” A perfect complement to the Kapa‘a town area, this well-used multi-use pathway not only provides miles of stunning ocean views, but also meanders through the center of town.
Heading northbound, you’ll pass the small village of Anahola, a designated Hawaiian Homeland area where many of native ancestry call home.
In the distance, Kalehea Mountain pierces the sky with its sharp, pointed peak. This mountain is popularly known as King Kong’s Profile.
Kauai Points of Interest: Kauai Travel Guide
Kauai Points of Interest. Kauai Travel Guide
Kauai or Kauaʻi is geologically the oldest of the main Hawaiian Islands. With an area of 562.3 square miles (1,456.4 km2), it is the fourth largest of these islands and the 21st largest island in the United States.
Known also as the Garden Isle, Kauaʻi lies 105 miles (169 km) across the Kauaʻi Channel, northwest of Oʻahu. This island is the site of Waimea Canyon State Park.
The United States Census Bureau defines Kauaʻi as census tracts 401 through 409 of Kauai County, Hawaiʻi, which comprises all of the county except for the islands of Kaula, Lehua and Niʻihau. The 2010 United States Census population of the island was 67,091.The most populous town was Kapaʻa.
Hawaiian narrative locates the name's origin in the legend of Hawaiʻiloa, the Polynesian navigator credited with discovery of the Hawaiʻian Islands.
The story relates how he named the island of Kauaʻi after a favorite son; a possible translation of Kauaʻi is place around the neck, describing how a father would carry a favorite child. Another possible translation is food season.
Kauaʻi was known for its distinct dialect of the Hawaiian language; this survives on Niʻihau. While the standard language today adopts the dialect of Hawaiʻi island, which has the sound, the Kauaʻi dialect was known for pronouncing this as [t].
In effect, Kauaʻi dialect retained the old pan-Polynesian , while standard Hawaiʻi dialect has changed it to the . Therefore, the native name for Kauaʻi was said as Tauaʻi, and the major settlement of Kapaʻa would have been pronounced as Tapaʻa.
Kauaʻi's origins are volcanic, the island having been formed by the passage of the Pacific Plate over the Hawaii hotspot. At approximately six million years old, it is the oldest of the main islands. The highest peak on this mountainous island is Kawaikini at 5,243 feet (1,598 m).
The second highest peak is Mount Waiʻaleʻale near the center of the island, 5,148 feet (1,569 m) above sea level. One of the wettest spots on earth, with an annual average rainfall of 1,170 centimetres (460 inches), is located on the east side of Mount Waiʻaleʻale.
The high annual rainfall has eroded deep valleys in the central mountains, carving out canyons with many scenic waterfalls. On the west side of the island, Waimea town is located at the mouth of the Waimea River, whose flow formed Waimea Canyon, one of the world's most scenic canyons, which is part of Waimea Canyon State Park.
At 3,000 feet (914 m) deep, Waimea Canyon is often referred to as The Grand Canyon of the Pacific. Kokeo Point lies on the south side of the island. The Na Pali Coast is a center for recreation in a wild setting, including kayaking past the beaches, or hiking on the trail along the coastal cliffs. The headland, Kuahonu Point, is on the south-east of the island.
Hawaii Standard Time is observed on Kauaʻi year-round. When most states are on daylight saving time, for example, the time on Kauaʻi is three hours behind the West Coast of the United States and six hours behind the East Coast.
The city of Līhuʻe, on the island's southeast coast, is the seat of Kauaʻi County and the second largest city on the island. Kapaʻa, on the Coconut Coast (site of an old coconut plantation) about 6 miles (9.7 km) north of Līhuʻe, has a population of nearly 10,000, or about 50% greater than Līhuʻe. Princeville, on the island's north side, was once the capital of Kauaʻi.
Kauaʻi is home to thousands of wild chickens, or moa in Hawaiian, who have few natural predators, as the mongoose was never introduced in Kauaʻi as it has been on other Hawaiian islands.[18][19] Kauaʻi's chickens originated from the original Polynesian settlers, who brought them as a food source. They have since bred with European chickens that have gotten free from farms and cockfighting breeders.
Kauaʻi is home to the U.S. Navy's Barking Sands Pacific Missile Range Facility, on the sunny and dry western shore.

Opaeka'a Falls, Hawaii
Ōpaekaʻa Falls is a waterfall located on the Wailua River in Wailua River State Park on the eastern side of the Hawaiian island of Kauai.
It is a 151–foot waterfall that flows over basalt from volcanic eruptions millions of years ago. Below the ridge down into the ravine through which the water falls can be seen the vertical dikes of basalt that cut through the horizontal Koloa lava flows. The name ʻŌpaekaʻa means rolling shrimp, ʻopae being Hawaiian for shrimp, and kaʻa for rolling.

Kauai - Hawaii Our Trip Video 2 Buddy Huggins
Kauai -Hawaiian: is geologically the oldest of the main Hawaiian Islands. With an area of 562.3 square miles (1,456.4 km2), it is the fourth largest of the main islands in the Hawaiian archipelago, and the 21st largest island in the United States. Known also as the Garden Isle, Kauaʻi lies 105 miles (169 km) across the Kauaʻi Channel, northwest of Oʻahu. This island is the site of Waimea Canyon State Park.
The United States Census Bureau defines Kauaʻi as Census Tracts 401 through 409 of Kauaʻi County, Hawaiʻi, which is all of the county except for the islands of Kaʻula, Lehua, and Niʻihau. The 2010 census population of Kauaʻi (the island) was 67,091,[5] with the largest town by population being Kapaʻa.
Island facts
Some of Kauaʻi's feral chickens at Lydgate Beach Park
Hawaii Standard Time is observed on Kauaʻi year-round. During DST, for example, the time on Kauaʻi is three hours behind the West Coast of the United States and six hours behind the East Coast.[15]
The city of Līhuʻe, on the island's southeast coast, is the seat of Kauaʻi County and the second largest city on the island. Kapaʻa, on the Coconut Coast (site of an old coconut plantation) about 6 miles (9.7 km) north of Līhuʻe, has a population of nearly 10,000, or about 50% greater than Līhuʻe. Waimea, once the capital of Kauaʻi on the island's southwest side, was the first place in Hawaiʻi visited by British explorer Captain James Cook in 1778.
Kauaʻi is home to thousands of wild chickens, who have few natural predators. Kauaʻi's chickens originated from the original Polynesian settlers, who brought them as a food source. They have since bred with European chickens that have gotten free from farms and cock-fighting breeders.
Kauaʻi is home to the U.S. Navy's Barking Sands Pacific Missile Range Facility, on the sunny and dry western shore.
HF (shortwave) radio station WWVH, sister station to WWV and WWVB in Ft. Collins, Colorado, is located on the west coast of Kauai about 5 km south of Barking Sands. WWVH, WWV and WWVB are operated by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology, broadcasting standard time and frequency information to the public.
The Kauaʻi Heritage Center of Hawaiian Culture and the Arts was founded in 1998. Their mission is to nurture a greater sense of appreciation and respect for the Hawaiian culture. They offer classes in Hawaiian language, hula, lei and cordage making, the lunar calendar and chanting, plus trips to cultural sites.
Tourism is Kauaʻi's largest industry. In 2007, 1,271,000 people visited Kauaʻi. The two largest groups were from the United States (84% of all visitors) and Japan (3%).[12] As of 2003, there were a total of approximately 27,000 jobs on Kauaʻi, of which the largest sector was accommodation/food services (26%, 6,800 jobs) followed by government (15%) and retail (14.5%), with agriculture accounting for just 2.9% (780 jobs) and educational services providing just 0.7% (183 jobs).[13] In terms of income, the various sectors that constitute the visitors industry accounted for one third of Kauai's income.[13] On the other hand, employment is dominated by small businesses, with 87% of all nonfarm businesses having fewer than 20 employees.[13] As of 2003, Kauaʻi's unemployment rate was 3.9%, compared to 3.0% for the entire state and 5.7% for the United States as a whole; and, Kauaʻi's poverty rate was 10.5%, compared to the State's 10.7%.[13]
As of mid-2004, the median price of a single-family home was $528,000, a 40% increase over 2003. As of 2003, Kauaʻi's percentage of home ownership, 48%, was significantly lower than the State's 64%, and vacation homes were a far larger part of the housing stock than the State-wide percentage (Kauaʻi 15%, State 5%).[13]
In the past, sugar plantations were Kauaʻi's most important industry. In 1835 the first sugar plantation was founded on Kauaʻi and for the next century the industry would dominate the economy of Hawaii.[14] Most of that land is now used for ranching.[12] Kauaʻi's sole remaining sugar operation, the 118-year-old Gay & Robinson Plantation plans to transform itself into a manufacturer of sugar-cane ethanol.[12]
Land in Kauaʻi is very fertile and is home to many varieties of fruit and other crops. Guava, coffee, sugarcane, mango, banana, papaya, avocado, star fruit, kava and pineapple are all cultivated. Support Me Here At This Link

Transcript:
Known as the “sunny side” of the island, the south shore of Kaua‘i combines the old fashioned character of Kōloa and the refined resort lifestyle of Poʻipū. Popular for its sugar plantation origins, luxury vacationing, island style shopping, golf courses, restaurants and beaches, the south shore promises endless options for discovery.
“A remarkable gateway to the south shore towns of Kōloa and Poʻipū, the famous tree-tunnel road displays 500 eucalyptus trees that stretch for about 3 miles.”
Beyond the iconic tree tunnel, also known as Maluhia Road, Old Kōloa Town awaits. A key center for the island’s rich sugar cane history, this quaint town is a notable cultural region, where the Old Sugar Mill reflects the legacy of the plantation days. “Built in 1835, this large scale operation spawned the beginning of the largest industry in the state.”
Located in downtown Kōloa, the Old Sugar Mill is at the center of numerous shops, galleries, and dining opportunities.
Entering Poʻipū, famous for its continual sunshine, this area is home to numerous accommodations and luxurious homes accompanied by an abundance of shops and eateries.
The central Poʻipū traffic circle leads to many notable places, like Prince Kuhio Park, whose March 26th birthday is state holiday.
A must-see natural attraction, Spouting Horn Beach Park is the next memorable stop. An incredible place to observe this popular blowhole blast ocean spray into the air, this well-photographed site is more dramatic at high tide.
“Reaching heights of 50 feet, these bursts occur when water rushes under an eroded lava shelf, creating an audible hissing sound.” The lush green plant life of The Garden Island may be viewed in two National Tropical Botanical Garden’s which encompass 352 acres of preserved flora.
Located in the oceanfront village, Poʻipū Beach Park is one of the region’s most popular beaches, with safe waters for swimming, snorkeling, surfing, and family fun.
Brennecke’s Beach neighbors Poʻipū Beach Park, which both feature an abundance of marine life from green sea turtles (honu), monk seals, and humpback whales. Monk seals often sunbathe in the summertime, and in the winter months, whales dance upon the horizon
Marking the beginning of the Māhāʻulepū Heritage Trail, Shipwreck’s Beach is further east and perfect for long beach walks and beautiful sunsets. “Shipwrecks beach is a half-mile stretch of white sand, tucked away in Poʻipū’s friendly south shore resort town with abundant restaurants, shopping, and golf-courses.”
On the way to the unforgettable Māhāʻulepū Beach, you’ll pass the southernmost point of the island. This area encompasses many natural wonders that trace the coastline. Māhāʻulepū Beach has a wild character that is found in the archeological landscape. “This remote beach has strong currents and sharp coral, which makes it dangerous for swimming or snorkeling, but it is a great location for coastal hikes and exploration.”
The town of Kalaheo marks the end of this region, which has great restaurant and shopping potential. With an array of attractions, the sunny south shore of Kaua‘i has much to explore.

Kauai - Hawaii Our Trip Laura and Buddy Huggins
Kauai -Hawaiian: is geologically the oldest of the main Hawaiian Islands. With an area of 562.3 square miles (1,456.4 km2), it is the fourth largest of the main islands in the Hawaiian archipelago, and the 21st largest island in the United States. Known also as the Garden Isle, Kauaʻi lies 105 miles (169 km) across the Kauaʻi Channel, northwest of Oʻahu. This island is the site of Waimea Canyon State Park.
The United States Census Bureau defines Kauaʻi as Census Tracts 401 through 409 of Kauaʻi County, Hawaiʻi, which is all of the county except for the islands of Kaʻula, Lehua, and Niʻihau. The 2010 census population of Kauaʻi (the island) was 67,091,[5] with the largest town by population being Kapaʻa.
Island facts

Hawaii Standard Time is observed on Kauaʻi year-round. During DST, for example, the time on Kauaʻi is three hours behind the West Coast of the United States and six hours behind the East Coast.[15]
The city of Līhuʻe, on the island's southeast coast, is the seat of Kauaʻi County and the second largest city on the island. Kapaʻa, on the Coconut Coast (site of an old coconut plantation) about 6 miles (9.7 km) north of Līhuʻe, has a population of nearly 10,000, or about 50% greater than Līhuʻe. Waimea, once the capital of Kauaʻi on the island's southwest side, was the first place in Hawaiʻi visited by British explorer Captain James Cook in 1778.
Kauaʻi is home to thousands of wild chickens, who have few natural predators. Kauaʻi's chickens originated from the original Polynesian settlers, who brought them as a food source. They have since bred with European chickens that have gotten free from farms and cock-fighting breeders.
Kauaʻi is home to the U.S. Navy's Barking Sands Pacific Missile Range Facility, on the sunny and dry western shore.
HF (shortwave) radio station WWVH, sister station to WWV and WWVB in Ft. Collins, Colorado, is located on the west coast of Kauai about 5 km south of Barking Sands. WWVH, WWV and WWVB are operated by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology, broadcasting standard time and frequency information to the public.
The Kauaʻi Heritage Center of Hawaiian Culture and the Arts was founded in 1998. Their mission is to nurture a greater sense of appreciation and respect for the Hawaiian culture. They offer classes in Hawaiian language, hula, lei and cordage making, the lunar calendar and chanting, plus trips to cultural sites.
Tourism is Kauaʻi's largest industry. In 2007, 1,271,000 people visited Kauaʻi. The two largest groups were from the United States (84% of all visitors) and Japan (3%).[12] As of 2003, there were a total of approximately 27,000 jobs on Kauaʻi, of which the largest sector was accommodation/food services (26%, 6,800 jobs) followed by government (15%) and retail (14.5%), with agriculture accounting for just 2.9% (780 jobs) and educational services providing just 0.7% (183 jobs).[13] In terms of income, the various sectors that constitute the visitors industry accounted for one third of Kauai's income.[13] On the other hand, employment is dominated by small businesses, with 87% of all nonfarm businesses having fewer than 20 employees.[13] As of 2003, Kauaʻi's unemployment rate was 3.9%, compared to 3.0% for the entire state and 5.7% for the United States as a whole; and, Kauaʻi's poverty rate was 10.5%, compared to the State's 10.7%.[13]
As of mid-2004, the median price of a single-family home was $528,000, a 40% increase over 2003. As of 2003, Kauaʻi's percentage of home ownership, 48%, was significantly lower than the State's 64%, and vacation homes were a far larger part of the housing stock than the State-wide percentage (Kauaʻi 15%, State 5%).[13]
In the past, sugar plantations were Kauaʻi's most important industry. In 1835 the first sugar plantation was founded on Kauaʻi and for the next century the industry would dominate the economy of Hawaii.[14] Most of that land is now used for ranching.[12] Kauaʻi's sole remaining sugar operation, the 118-year-old Gay & Robinson Plantation plans to transform itself into a manufacturer of sugar-cane ethanol.[12]
Land in Kauaʻi is very fertile and is home to many varieties of fruit and other crops. Guava, coffee, sugarcane, mango, banana, papaya, avocado, star fruit, kava and pineapple are all cultivated. Support Me Here At This Link
