Hiking From Your Kauai Vacation Rentals
May 7th, 2008
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.
