Think about how Kauai vacation homes lie atop the marvelous wonders of nature! The Hawaiian Ridge-Emperor Seamounts Chain of mostly underwater volcanic mountains extends from the Big Island of Hawaii to Alaska. For 70 million years this plate has moved slowly and created 125 volcanoes. Remarkable enough, but if we take a look further back in time when Kauai was barely a twinkle in Mother Nature’s eye, we learn that the unique locations of the Hawaiian islands is due to an abrupt detour the Pacific Plate took over 43 million years ago. Where it had formerly moved in a northerly direction, it suddenly shifted westward. One explanation is that the collision of the India landmass into the Asian continent caused the seismic shift. In any case, amazingly this detour settled the plate over a ‘hotspot’ which began to form the Hawaiian Islands. This explanation matches the mythology of Pele, Hawaii’s fire goddess, who is credited with the creation of the islands. Scientist find it rather remarkable that somehow the ancients had a sense of what was bubbling beneath the surface and even gave a name and identity to what was causing the fuss.

It wasn’t until 1963 that a Canadian, J. Tuzo Wilson, suggested that the line-up of the Hawaiian islands was likely to to a plate shift over a stationery hotspot. In other words, all the islands originated from the same source. Kauai bubbled underwater for some 10 million years before it emerged 5 million years ago. The current highest peaks on the island, Wai’ale’ale (5,148 feet) and Kawaikini (5,243 feet) are already only half of what they were in their heyday. Meanwhile, a new island, Lo’ihi, is being formed off the coast of the Big Island and is rumored to emerge above water in about 7,000 short years. (Realtors are already getting excited about renting Kauai vacation homes there.) Although completely submerged and still a youngster, Lo’ihi is already taller than Mt. St. Helens was when it erupted. Measured from the ocean floor, Maui’s Haleakala is the most massive mountain on earth. All this because India bumped into Asia 43 million years ago!

Gooney birds, mollymauks, boobies, auks, nene. Don’t mistake all this chatter for grammar school name calling until you realize these affectionate titles are given to certain species of seabirds roosting at Kilauea Point, a fabulous Kauai vacation rental attraction. With its position as the northernmost point in Hawaiian, as well as fortunate lack of predators (Kauai did not receive the gift of the mongoose), Kilauea provides visitors with the rare opportunity to observe these nomads of the sea up close. How did the amazing albatross come to be known as ‘gooney?’ Like the red-footy ‘booby,’ the bird was often disrespected when it happened upon a sailing ship and wasn’t afraid of what it found onboard - humans. Also, because these birds spend the majority of their lives at sea, sometimes as long at eight years at a stretch, when coming ashore for the first time they are probably much like sailors on leave; their behavior is a little off.

The steep cliffs at Kilauea provide the albatross with a natural runway and jumping off point. It is here they come to mate and roost between their lengthy flights. Although takeoff is a challenge to these great birds, once in flight they can soar for days on their nine to twelve foot wingspans, even sleeping while mid-air. Some have flown as far as 10,000 miles without stopping! The nesting and mating rituals of the Laysan Albatross is animated and distinctive enough to draw visitors during mating season to their roosting sites near a Kauai vacation rental in the Princeville area where these indiscreet birds dance, preen and sing regardless of who is watching! The telescope at the Kilauea visitors center was trained on one nesting couple tucked into the cliffs on the left side of the point. But on the other side of the lookout, it was easy to see the birds congregate with the naked eye. Here, dotting the landscape are numerous protected species such as, Hawaiian nene geese, brown boobies, red-tailed tropicbirds, wedge-tailed shearwaters, and great frigate birds. Birds are not the only attraction of Kilauea Point. The picturesque lighthouse was erected in 1913 as a guiding beacon for ships from the Orient, it was dedicated May 1, 1913 ‘with a luau to which everyone in Kilauea town was invited.’ The original lens was built in France for $12,000 and was turned by clock-like mechanism operated by a massive weight, cable and pulley that had to be wound every 3.5 hours. In 1930 the oil vapor lamp was replaced by an electric model, and eventually in 1976, the Coast Guard decommissioned the lighthouse and installed an automated electronic beacon. In 1979, the lighthouse was placed on the Register of National Historic Places and on February 15, 1985 it became the 425th Refuge in the National Wildlife Refuge System.
One more gem lying just off the point is a little Mukuae`ae.’ Crashing waves force a blowhole to spout which brings rainbows in its wake, providing the jewel for the crown at the ‘top of Hawaii,’ Kilauea Point.

So dazzling is Kauai’s scenery that Hollywood uses it as a standard backdrop for tropical paradise. You won’t find much in the way of high-rise hotels or nightlife on the least developed of Hawaii’s touristed islands, but you’ll be too enamored with its valleys and beaches to care. A low-key attitude, lovely Kauai vacation rentals, and perfect sand at Poipu and Kalapaki beaches make Kauai a favorite for honeymooners.

On our last trip to Kauai we stayed at Kauai vacation rentals in Poipu where we saw an endangered monk seal resting on the beach, hiked the shoreline from Mahaleapu to Poipu Beach Park, drove the rutted roads to Polihale’s fa isolated 17 mile strand, and journeyed to the Na Pali Coast . Yet, I’d been entranced by the mysterious North Shore and the glorious Princeville Resort with it’s enviable position on the bluffs overlooking famed Hanalei Bay. The North Coast has a reputation of being all wet, which is reasonable considering the area rests down-mountain from Mt. Waialeale , the wettest spot on earth. Here, some 500 inches of rainfall annually provide the excessive moisture that handily feeds Kauai’s famous waterfalls and waterways, which are also the only navigable rivers in the state. But the trade-off of this soggy gamble is the exquisite reward of decompressing alongside some the world’s most remarkable scenery and beaches. Although Kauai greeted us initially with moody, misty, eerie vistas, the days that followed offered extraordinarily high surf and brilliant sunshine. Rain or shine, we spent four days exploring every road, beach, attraction and waterfall from Na Pali to Wailua.

Situated in Kauai County in Hawaii, USA, Princeville is a planned resort community of luxurious Princeville rentals located on the northern end of the island of Kauai. It is spread over an area of 6.2 sq km and has a population of over 6,000. Princeville has a wet climate as it lies in the wettest region of the Kauai Island. The average summer temperature is around 22°C, while in winter the average temperature is around 17°C. Once a sugar plantation, the town has now grown into a bustling resort town. The town is made up of a wild terrain lined with lush greenery and breathtaking waterfalls. It is home to some of the finest resorts and restaurants on the island. Various special events and cultural enrichment programs are offered regularly to support Princeville’s dedication to malama `aina, the caring for the land as well as mea o Hawai`I, or ‘all things Hawai`ian.’

How many times did I overhear the phrase, ‘died and gone to heaven,’ during my stay at Princeville rentals? How could I fault guests who resorted to using cliches in a setting that could sap more profound words from even the most articulate visitor? Mark Twain was only slightly more eloquent when he wrote, ‘This is the most magnificent, balmy atmosphere in the world — ought to take dead men out of grave.’ A winding two-mile stretch of road from the highway gives guests a chance to adjust to the unworldly realm they are about to enter at Princeville. This broad plateau of rolling greens punctuated with fountains, palms and trails leads to the massive 18,000 square foot lobby that immediately reveals the renowned views. Don’t be surprised if at first it doesn’t seem real. You don’t have to die to get to this heaven; in fact, you’ll feel more alive than ever!

Princeville Kauai is steeped in Hawaiian history and lore, and your Princeville vacation rental is your gateway into the real Hawaii. Soon after Europeans arrived on the island, the Russian-backed German adventurer George Schäffer renamed this district “Schäffertal” and constructed the short-lived Fort Alexander on the Pu’u Poa headland now occupied by the Princeville Hotel. The general outline of the fort is still discernible on the lawn near the main hotel entrance. In its centre, a small pavilion holds explanatory displays and enjoys superb views across the bay to Lumaha’i Beach and beyond. In the 1830s, the British consul Richard Charlton leased most of the land between Kilauea and Hanalei to pasture a herd of one hundred cattle. He failed to pay his rent, however, and after the Great Mahele, Robert Crichton Wyllie, Hawaii’s Foreign Minister for twenty years, acquired the land.

Wyllie built an overambitious sugar mill beside the Hanalei River, equipped with machinery imported from his native Scotland. He was visited in 1860 by King Kamehameha IV, Queen Emma and the young Prince Albert. The name “Princeville,” adopted in Albert’s honor, has stuck ever since, although Albert died two years later at the age of four. Just four months after Wyllie died in 1865, his nephew and heir committed suicide upon realizing that he had inherited a mountain of debt. Sheep farming subsequently proved no more profitable than sugar, and Princeville was, until 1969, a cattle ranch. The entire area was then bought by an American consortium, and work started on the construction of the resort, with its luxurious Princeville vacation rental properties. Its centerpiece, the Princeville Hotel, opened in 1985 and has changed hands repeatedly ever since, while continuing to rank among the world’s top tropical hideaways.
Princeville was hit especially hard by Hurricane Iniki in 1992; for several days the Princeville Hotel served as a makeshift community shelter, despite losing most of its roof and its entire tenth floor. Now things are back to normal, and Princeville can’t be faulted as a relaxing base from which to explore North Kauai.

It’s damp and green as you walk through a rain forest thick with underbrush of ferns and other exotic tropical plants. Imagine being on an island that is designated the wettest place on earth and at the same time you have access to a dry area that offers little in the way of humidity. That is a hiker’s utopia. Going from lush growth to much more sparse growth allows you the best of both worlds. One of the wonderful highlights of such a lush garden of utopia is that you don’t have to worry about deadly venomous creatures as the Hawaiian Islands aren’t like the Amazon or the jungles of Malaysia, you can walk in relative safety. So what are some other areas that you can get to from one of the many Kauai vacation rentals available on this magnificent island?

One of the most popular and spectacular places to hike and visit is the cliffs of the Na Pali Coast. Although they can be somewhat dangerous as the path runs along some drop-offs that are sometimes damp and slippery, it is an impressive hike that leads to hidden waterfalls and often unpopulated campgrounds. If you want something more inland and not along the slippery paths of a coastal trail, then you might want to hike in the Grand Canyon of the Pacific, Waimea Canyon. The red and green of the contrasting vegetation and iron filled rock will leave a notable mark in your memory or on your digital camera. If you have any questions regarding the accommodations available on Kauai or where to go to hike, contact the friendly professionals at Hawaiian Beach Rentals.

Everything but the kitchen sink is the old saying. If you are staying in a Princeville vacation rental] the last thing you will need is a kitchen sink. You do need to figure out what activities you will be partaking in to determine what you really need and what can be rented or is provided. If you plan on doing all of your own cooking check with the friendly staff at Hawaiian Beach Rentals when you book the rental to see what is provided. You will probably find that most of what you need will be there when you arrive. If you need special utensils or pans that you really love, you may want to bring them but most of the time you really don’t need to. The same goes for the master suite and bathrooms. You’ll find all of the essentials at most rentals. Some of the rental owners know you will want to play in the ocean so they even provide some water toys for you.

When you decide what it is you will want to do for activities you may want to check with the professional travel experts at Hawaiian Beach Rentals to see where you can do such activities and what is provided. Scuba diving shops will rent you everything you need but if you have your own mask and fins that you absolutely love, bring them.

If you are going to use them everyday then bring your own but if you plan on going once, you have to assess if it is worth the hassle of lugging them through the airport and around the island.

The leeward side of the island of Kauai offers a much calmer and dryer area than the North Shore. One of the most popular areas on the south side of the island is Poipu. The swimming conditions are often calmer and more conducive to safe swimming than the north shore. The flatter and dryer area is less dramatic but is a favorite among many tourists. The south shore extends along the coast from Kipu Kai and Maha’ulepu Beach to the Poipu Beaches and to the west towards Salt Pond Beach Park. There are many several places to see along this spectacular stretch of coastline.

If you are staying in the area in one of the Kauai vacation homes available from HawaiianBeachRentals.com then you can do this at your leisure. Off of Rt 520 or Maluhia Road, you will travel through the ‘Tunnel of Trees’ to Koloa then to a fork where you can go to Poipu Beach or to Lawai, home of the National Tropical Botanical Gardens and the fascinating and popular blow hole called Sprouting Horn. At Poipu Beach Park you’ll find a rock trimmed pool that is a favorite for those families with small children. It is also a popular favorite for the older children and parents at the other end of this curving beach because there is great snorkeling to see some of the spectacular tropical fish in the area. If you carry some fish food while snorkeling you’ll have the fish eating right out of your hand. Make sure you stay in the protected reef so you don’t get caught in the strong current just outside of it.

The North Shore of Kauai is perhaps the most spectacular landscape because it includes both rugged mountains and beautiful beaches amongst lush greenery. The greenery is due in part to the fact that the North Shore gets the most rainfall in the wintery months. The winter is also when the waves are the largest on the North Shore, just like the famous ones on Oahu. The North Shore is also popular for those who want to enjoy a more secluded vacation. If you are looking for a more remote Kauai vacation rental then you probably want to look on the North Shore since the road to that area still has one lane bridges along the road. It is here that you may start to understand ‘island time.’

Island time is that time frame that is found in more laid back areas, the kind of time that drives type A’s crazy. If you are the type that is in a hurry to get things done or you have to start things on time and be on time and get your food on time, then the North Shore may not be for you. Some of the attractions on the North Shore include Princeville. You can find elegant rooms, exceptional golf, exquisite restaurants and stunning views. During the summer months you will find relatively calm seas and good safe swimming and surfing. Like other islands, the winter months are much more dangerous and swimming and surfing are not recommended unless you are fully aware of the conditions. One way to tell if the water is relatively calm is to see where people shelter their boats.
