Planning a vacation to Kauai? Take a look at our Poipu condos for your stay.

Whether you travel by foot, car, boat or bicycle, you’ll likely encounter culture and heritage of the area. Make planned excursions to some of the most legendary areas during your stay. While many travelers just seek sun and surf as an escape from a hectic lifestyle, some of the sites on the Koloa Heritage and Mahaulepu Trails would be on any itinerary regardless, including Spouting Horn Park and Poipu Beach Park.

Pa’u Laka, the Moir Gardens, with cacti, lava rock ponds and orchids and Kihahouna Heiau can be combined into a half day outing. The sacred temple is a beautiful spot and the visit to these nature sites will leave you with a sense of serenity. Multiple sand dunes, sinkholes, caves and additional heiau are features of the Mahaulepu Heritage Trail. Wildly romantic spots, many species of bird life and the beauty from which the Garden Isle gets its name are all revealed to you here. When you return to your vacation rental at the end of each day, you’ll be ready to relax with a cocktail before dinner with the knowledge that you’ve fulfilled some great explorations in the South Side of Kauai.
