One of my buddies just came back from her vacation in Hawaii. Guess what ? She met the famous Amos the “Cookie Man” during her stay at one of the Kauai vacation homes . She was so thrilled that the “Cookie Man” personally signed her cookie bags !

Kauai is the oldest of the main Hawaiian islands. Kauai is Hawaii’s Garden Isle, known for it’s lush foliage, beautiful flowers and long white sand beaches.

Lots of fun activities can be done if you like water. For instance, surfing, the waters surrounding the islands are teeming with tropical fish and reefs, attracting scuba divers of all abilities from all over the world.

Picking up a snorkel and mask is another time-honored way to witness the aquatic bounty of Hawaii. A glass bottomed kayak is also a popular option to take in the beauty of the Hawaiian Islands and is commonly available.

If you are up for excitement , parasailing offers an unforgettable experience with a bird’s eye view of the beautiful splendor. Or take a helicopter ride on Kauai. You can view the most beautiful places - waterfalls, sea cliffs, and Mountain Waialeale.

Not to forget is Kauai’s north shore. A wonderful day trip will take you past “King Kong’s Profile,” the Kilauea National Wildlife Refuge and Lighthouse, the Kauai condo rentals of Princeville, the famous Hanalei Lookout, Hanalei Town, and then past some of the world’s most beautiful beaches ending at Ke`e Beach.

Imagine watching beautiful sunsets with your loved one at the lanai of one of the Kauai rental homes! Life is just great , isn’t it?
