Tripadvisor review:
Visiting - Limahuli Garden
Limahuli Gardens is an example of sustainability that can teach us many lessons. Ahupua'a is a system of organizing a watershed into units that can be managed by experts in such topics as taro growing, fish farming, forest harvesting etc. Each island divided into areas served by a stream, from the mountain top to the ocean where it emptied. Each area was self-sufficient and the culture ensured that each generation had experts in the necessary skills. Limahuli is the only place in the world where the original Hawaiian rainforest is being recreated. TheDude encourages you to visit, learn, and contribute to this precious resource.

through direct action and acts of video, a play in philosophy and practice, is expressed of people and the āina . in the ahupuaʻa of Wainiha on Kauai is, a wonder shared by all . mahalo nui loa

Wainiha is one of the few ahupuaʻa that has survived into the millennium, in which resources are shared, mauka to makai. Barely. It still has its traditional fishermen, its farms, its sharing neighbors who support one another. It still has keiki who carry on the traditions of the area and grow up to practice culture there.
Its lands however, are being sold for vacation rentals at an alarming rate. With neighbors helping each other and fishermen, planters, gatherers, hunters, medicine people, woodworkers and hale builders all sharing the work of their collective hands and their collective lands, the last remnants of an actual ahupuaʻa is being destroyed as traditional lifestyles are driven out of the communities in which they have been rooted for countless generations.
Without resistance, this garden would not be here.

Kauai Luxury Vacation Villa in Princeville at Hanalei Bay
From the moment you arrive, you immediately sense the Aloha spirit and the otherworldliness of Kauai's North Shore; Hanalei Bay Villas' surroundings are stunning and beyond beautiful. The unique charm, ideal location, dramatic beauty, and peaceful serenity provide an island experience to be treasured.
Hanalei Bay Villas #29, a private free standing home, is ideally situated above a tree top canopy revealing expansive views of the awe-inspiring North Shore Mountains adorned with waterfalls and often rainbows. The home also opens onto an ocean bluff, within sight and smell of the sea.
Just beyond the front door is a grassy overlook considered the best location on the island to view the Bali Hi sunset; provides an ideal vantage point to witness humpback whales breaching and world class surfers in the breaks just off the coastline. Of course, the sparkling Pacific colors are always spectacular and, at times, you are likely to see dolphins, sea turtles, and an occasional monk seal.
There are three beautiful public beaches within close walking distance. A hiking trail leads to Pali Ke Kua Beach which is a long, beautiful stretch of beach divided by a rock outcropping. During calm seas you can swim around the outcropping to what is known as Hideaways (seen on the aerial photo directly below the villa); a great snorkeling cove. Puu Poa Beach on Hanalei Bay, a picturesque white sand beach located in front of the St Regis Hotel, can be accessed by a 191 step staircase or via resort elevator. During low tide you can wade across the Hanalie River to Hanalei Pier & Beach Pavilion. Here you can rent kayaks, boogie boards, surf boards, and standup paddle boards.
Within the Princeville community you will also find a jogging path, Queen's Bath trailhead, Sea Lodge Beach, The Prince and Makai golf courses, healthy club and spa, tennis and basketball courts, restaurants, library, playground, shave ice and ice cream stand, boutiques, post office, and grocery store.
Truly, all the wonders of the North Shore are within two-twelve scenic miles of the villa; including many more fabulous beaches, Kalalau Trailhead, the quaint town of Hanalei, Tunnels, Limahuli National Tropical Botanical Garden, 'Anini Beach Park, Secret Beach, Kilauea Lighthouse...
This completely remodeled home includes state of the art kitchen, contemporary baths, new flooring, tasteful high-end furnishings, and luxurious bedding. It is sophisticated, comfortable, and laid-back. Numerous windows, cooling trade winds, ceiling fans, and cathedral ceilings keep the home light, fresh, and comfortable throughout the day.
Traditional Hawaiian Two Story Floor Plan:
Upper/Entry level - kitchen, dining, and living opens to a covered lanai with outdoor dining and grill; 1/2 bath and storage closet off foyer.
Lower Level - 2nd full bath and laundry room;
Master Suite with queen bed, covered lanai with cafe table and chairs, walk-in closet, full bath with soaking tub, A/C, ceiling fan, and TV.
2nd bedroom with king or two twins converted prior to arrival, dresser, closet, A/C, and ceiling fan.
Office/Study doubling as a 3rd Bedroom with twin + twin trundle, dresser, desk, and ceiling fan.
Hanalei Bay Villas appeal to the active adventure-seeker, nature lover, artist, golfer, starry-eyed honeymooner, and the laid-back lounger.

~~~~~~
If this is your first time viewing our videos, welcome and thank you! For some background about this series:

( In cased you missed the Oahu Itinerary Challenge video, check it out here )
With this trip to Hawaii, we wanted to chronicle our adventures visiting 4 different islands in a new Travel Itinerary Challenge Series to share our experience doing, eating, and seeing a number of attractions in a set amount of time.
In our years traveling together, we found our travel style involves cramming as many things into an itinerary as our body can handle. We plan a rough itinerary or list of things we want to do, see, and eat at our destination.
Below is the original itinerary we set out to complete. In our Itinerary Challenge Series, we will see how close we get to checking off each item on our list.

Transcript:
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.
