Kauai condos for a unique adventure in wonderland!
May 17th, 2008
Kauai has a unique identity, and Kauai condos are your smart option to explore this wonderland. As the oldest member of the Hawaiian islands, it has had five million years to grow, alter, adapt and mature into a majestic idyll where four thousand foot cliffs dripping with waterfalls jut into the wild blue heavens and cast evening shadows on pristine, turquoise beaches foaming with often immense surf. The ‘Grand Canyon of the Pacific,’ dances with the colors of a high desert and lures hikers and gawkers with over forty miles of hiking trails. Kalalau Trail, an eleven mile trek that begins where the road ends at Na Pali cliffs reveals views so stunning that it could motivate a couch potato to begin a fitness program, for no slacker could handle the arduous journey. For those less hardy, the beaches between Hanalei and Na Pali offer unparalleled splendor. Near Ha’ena State Park are the famous Maniniholo Wet and Dry Caves purported built my Menehune, Hawaii’s mythical little people, during an attempt to capture an evil spirit. Ka Ulu O Laka Heiau is a temple perched up the cliffs to honor the goddess of Hula and Limahuli National Tropical Gardens is a splendid display of native plants and terraced gardens.
The wonders of Kauai are legendary. Though you would never be more than twelve linear miles from the sea at any point on the island, the amount of fascinating terrain and natural wonders packed into this spectacular dot on the map in the middle of the sea is astounding. To do it right, you need a car. Using Kauai condos as your base, driving the island is easy, accommodating, and a delight in itself. But there are limited roadways off the main thoroughfares and access to many (perhaps most) of the true wonders of Kauai is not possible by car. Overcome that handicap by booking a trek tour into the jungles and rainforests, or hire an ATV to take you off-road. Consider renting a kayak to paddle the river and don’t forget to bring a surf or boogie board to navigate the often outrageous waves. Certainly take a helicopter to catch a breathtaking glimpse of the emerald green coast, shimmering waterfalls and deep canyons. Sturdy hiking shoes and even sturdier legs are obligatory gear from Sleeping Giant to Barking Sands to the Kalakua Trail. All effort will be rewarded beyond your fantasies. Shangri-la, Fantasy Island, the Lost World; it’s all really Kauai.
