The Island’s one main road leads you effortlessly to beaches and towns, forest and parklands. Throughout the day, your senses will awaken to a symphony of surprises: the extravagant palette of sunrise and sunset or the lush, green ramparts of the Nāpali Coast. From tranquil forests to contemporary luxuries, Kaua‘i unfolds before you in a lush spectacle of nature. Be sure to bring your beach towel, bottled water, appropriate footwear, sunglasses, sunscreen, camera and a picnic lunch. Then, Kicka Witte (2), Damon Moss, Tor Johnson just follow the signs to one amazing sight after another. (800) 262-1400 7 explore North Shore A GATHERING OF STUNNING VISTAS, North Kaua‘i is perched between the mountains and sea. A quiet stretch of road, stitched together by one-lane bridges, leads to the Hawaiian Islands’ northernmost point, to luxurious accommodations, to tranquil Hanalei and, at its end, to idyllic beaches and the beginning of the Nāpali Coast.

This historic landmark sits majestically on the northernmost peninsula of the Island, providing scenic views of the dramatic cliffs and coastline. The Kīlauea Point National Wildlife Refuge is just around the bend, bringing Hawai‘i’s rare and unique nesting seabirds close to view. Be sure to visit the informative Visitor Center. RR10 5 Limahuli Garden and Preserve Admire the views and take a guided or self-guided tour of this National Tropical Botanical Garden. Read signs about Hawaiian culture as you stroll along the path. The endangered native plants here are all neatly labeled. You’ll find traditional Hawaiian agricultural terraces still gleaming with big, heartshaped taro leaves. In Hawaiian, the name Limahuli means “turning hands,” which recognizes the Native Hawaiians who built agricultural terraces out of lava rock and planted cultivars of kalo (taro), an important cultural food crop. RR2 Limahuli Garden and Preserve Built in 1837 and restored in 1921, the Wai‘oli Mission House is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Take a guided tour of this early missionary home, which includes historical furnishings and depicts rural life on Kaua‘i as it was 160 years ago.

Cool off with a refreshing coconut or lychee shave ice. Lumaha‘i Beach is where Mitzi Gaynor “washed that man right out of my hair” in Hollywood’s memorable musical, South Pacific. Or pack a picnic and venture out to Hanalei Bay, which Dr. Beach named America’s Best Beach in 2009. On Sundays, listen to Hawaiian hymns at Wai‘oli Hui‘ia Church. And after a busy day, relax under a luminous Hanalei Bay sunset, or witness the grandeur of Kaua‘i’s North Shore from the picture-perfect Hanalei Valley Lookout. TT5 Hanalei Taro Farms Hanalei Taro Farms Hanalei’s fertile fields have produced taro for more than a thousand years. At the foot of Hanalei’s green mountains, beautiful lo‘i kalo (flooded fields of taro) produce most of the state’s taro for poi (pounded taro root). Some of Hanalei’s taro farms offer guided tours (by appointment only). One-Lane Bridges Kaua‘i residents have developed a set of traffic customs. • Drive slowly • Yield to others • No tailgating • No honking On a small Island, everybody’s your neighbor. So when you come to a singlelane bridge, the local rule is to yield to oncoming traffic. If you’re the oncoming traffic and there’s a line waiting on the other side, stop and let your neighbors cross (customarily five or six cars at a time). Speed limits and seatbelt laws are strictly enforced. Drive with aloha! 10 kauaidiscovery.com @kauaidiscovery explore East Side 1 3 4 East Side/ Royal Coconut Coast Ha I I Kühiö Hwy ‘ala Kapa ‘a Rd Keǟlia Beach Park Ka pa hi Kawaiha u Rd il Mä H H KEÄLIA eam Rd K AWA I H AU u‘a To Hanalei St r H H 2 I I Keälia Lookout Rd na ihu Ka d aR ulu `e h Ka `a pu ni Rd J J J J d aihau R Kaw Bike Path Kapa‘a Beach `O lohen a Rd a hu Le t iS ku Ku Twin Reservoirs K K St Kapa‘a K K Kapa‘a Shopping Center Fujii Beach Waipouli Complex Ka pa ‘a Slee ping Gian t L L B y-Pa ss Rd Waika‘ea Canal L L Waipouli Plaza Kaua‘i Village Waipouli Town Center WAIPOULI Ha le`ïl io R d d uR M M Wailua Alakukui Beach Kinipopo Shopping Village Pöhakuho‘ohänau (Royal Birthstones) Holoholokü Heiau Bellstone Flowing year-round into a hidden pool, this waterfall is located approximately two miles up Kuamo‘o Rd (Route 580) from Hwy 56.

It’s usually seen as two falls until rain transforms them into one. Rainbows often appear in the morning, when sunlight paints the 80foot waterfall molten silver. Used in the opening credits of the TV show, Fantasy Island, Wailua Falls is easily accessible. Grove Farm Homestead ‘Alekoko “Menehune” Fishpond This was one of Kaua‘i’s more successful sugar plantations. The former home of George N. Wilcox and his descendants is today a museum that provides visitors with a look at how plantation owners and workers lived more than a century ago. L2 Built more than 500 years ago, the Menehune Fishpond has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1973. Here is one of the finest examples of this type of Hawaiian aquaculture. According to legend, the mythical Menehune, Hawai‘i’s mischievous little people, built this entire fishpond in one night.

The area has retained much of its old charm and many plantation buildings still decorate this historic town. The Kōloa History Center is a great place to view old photos and artifacts of Kōloa’s early years. Large monkeypod trees provide ample shade for those who want to browse Kōloa’s many shops and stores. T1 The inviting waters of Po‘ipū make it very popular with visitors, locals and even marine life. From December through May, it’s not uncommon to spot humpback whales spouting off shore. But Po‘ipū Beach is most famous as a place where the endangered Hawaiian monk seals sometimes sunbathe on the shore.

Hawaiian monk seals are one of the more endangered species in the world. When you see a monk seal resting on the beach, please remember that it’s in its native habitat. • Never approach a monk seal on the beach (stay at least 150 feet away). • Don’t throw things at a monk seal, shout to get its attention or otherwise try to cause one to move. • You may take pictures from a respectful distance, but leave the flash off. Please brief your children. Besides being pono (proper), there are strict state and federal laws prohibiting the harassment of marine wildlife such as Hawaiian monk seals, sea turtles, dolphins and the most famous winter residents, the humpback whales. These laws are strictly enforced in Hawai‘i and provide for severe penalties. The Kaua‘i Monk Seal Watch Program has more information at kauaimonkseal.com.

S pectacular, drama, challenge, beauty. These words begin to describe the Nāpali Coast of Kaua‘i but miss the epic proportions, stunning colors of land and water, historic importance, remote isolation and magic of the place. Iconic, green-clad ramparts overlooking uninterrupted views of the Pacific soar more than 3,000 feet above the turquoise sea. White, sandy coves sit undisturbed in their rocky shelter. This is a place of awe and wonder. Just 90 minutes from Līhu‘e, the Nāpali Coast is a 15-mile stretch of mountains and sea on the northwest flank of the Island. Accessible only by air, boat and on foot, Nāpali—“the cliffs”—nonetheless played an important role in Hawaiian history. Early ocean voyagers from 24 kauaidiscovery.com @kauaidiscovery Polynesia settled in the protected valleys along this coast, fishing, growing taro and trading by foot trail and canoe. Rock walls and agricultural terracing preserve evidence of the early residents’ sophisticated irrigation systems and traditional culture. Today’s visitors can enjoy a number of rewarding approaches to this still-remote coastline. Air tours (helicopter and fixed-wing) allow you to appreciate the enormous scale and beauty of the cliffs. You will also see some of the otherwise-unseen valleys that cut into the mountainsides. Approaching the shore from the water gives you some idea of how the early Hawaiians must have felt as their canoes reached the Island. Paddle with a guided kayak tour (during summer months). You can also take a Zodiac or boat tour or sail the coastline for awe-inspiring views. Access by land is limited to a single 11-mile trail that crosses five valleys and ends at the beach. The Kalalau Trail is not for the faint of heart; it can be muddy, slippery and steep. Camping in the middle of the trek at Hanakoa and at the end at Kalalau Beach is by permit only (visit hawaiistateparks.org/parks/kauai for camping information). Visitors who don’t want to attempt the entire trail can hike along a short section just beyond Hā‘ena State Park and turn back when they’re ready. However you choose to visit, Kaua‘i’s Nāpali Coast is one of the precious jewels in the crown of the Hawaiian Islands.

Kaua‘i’s central Pacific location provides some of the bigger waves on the planet breaking on the shores, so we strongly recommend that you swim only at beaches with lifeguards on duty. These beaches include Kē‘ē, Mākua, or Tunnels, Beach, Hanalei, Keālia, Lydgate, Po‘ipū, Salt Pond and Kekaha. Please visit kauaiexplorer.com for current surf conditions and important beach and ocean safety information. When exploring Kaua‘i’s amazing beaches, be sure to exercise the following safety tips: 1. Swim at guarded beaches only and ask lifeguards for safety and swimming tips. 2. Read lifeguard’s warning signs. 3. Conditions constantly change— daily and seasonal changes must be monitored closely. 4. Waves come in sets. It can look calm for up to 20 minutes between dangerous sets of huge waves. 5. Hazards can exist in any coastal area, not just in the water. Be careful on wet sand and rocks. 6. Do not fight a rip current. If caught in a current, keep calm, float, breathe, don’t panic and wave for help. Go with the current and conserve energy. 7. Use the buddy system, never swim alone and know your limits. 8. When in doubt, don’t go out. See Napali & Niihau on One Amazing Tour ightseeing and exploring the dramatic cliffs of the Napali Coast are just the start of this amazing day!

If you’ve always wanted to try it, there are numerous dive shops and certified instructors who can train you for an introductory scuba dive or prepare you for full certification. Experienced divers will generally find more thrilling spots on the east and west shores, while those new to scuba should start on the north or south shores. Keep in mind that if you drive to Waimea Canyon or Kōke‘e State Park, or want to take a helicopter excursion, you need to wait 24 hours after diving due to the altitude change. It’s always best to dive with a local guide who can read changing weather and knows the best spots.

The fertile soil provided excellent conditions to cultivate kalo (taro). The plant’s edible starchy roots were pounded into poi and became part of the staple diet of the native population. Taro plantations are still scattered across Kaua‘i today, contributing to the Island’s beautiful green fields of heart-shaped taro leaves. Wai‘oli Mission House KAUA‘I IS THE OLDEST ISLAND IN THE HAWAIIAN CHAIN and our heritage is one of fascinating folklore steeped in rich history. Captain Cook landed at Waimea Bay in 1778, but our history predates his arrival by centuries. Kaua‘i History As the oldest Island of Hawai‘i, it seems appropriate that British explorer Captain James Cook landed in Kaua‘i’s Waimea Bay for the first time in 1778. Cook’s discovery of what he called the “Sandwich Isles,” named after the Earl of Sandwich, introduced Hawai‘i to the world. During this era of western discovery, King Kamehameha I was attempting to unify all the Hawaiian Islands under his rule. Kaua‘i and the small, neighboring Island of Ni‘ihau were the only Islands Heritage Sites of Hawai‘i Heritage Sites of Hawai‘i are special places located throughout the Islands.

Enjoy, marvel and be amazed at the long history, culture and beauty of the Hawaiian Islands. Kaua‘i features two Heritage Sites of Hawai‘i: Waimea Canyon State Park and the Daniel K. Inouye Kīlauea Lighthouse at Kīlauea Point National Wildlife Refuge. For more information, visit gohawaii.com/heritage-sites.

The melodious Hawaiian language is a Polynesian dialect. There are only 13 letters in the Hawaiian alphabet: A, E, H, I, K, L, M, N, O, P, U, W and the ‘okina (‘). The ‘okina is a glottal stop like the sound between the ohs in ohoh and is considered a consonant. The ‘okina (‘), or glottal stop, and kahakō ( ¯ ), or macron, change the pronunciation and meaning of the word. The 18 sounds in the Hawaiian language are a, e, i, o, u, ā, ē, ī, ō, ū, he, ke, la, mu, nu, pi, we, and w with a v sound. Hawaiian Music The music of Kaua‘i will add another relaxing element to your visit. You’ll hear the traditional slack-key guitar and ‘ukulele, but also Hawaiian reggae, hip hop and modern beats.

Share our stories and help us honor the language, music, dance and beliefs that keep culture alive. RICH PAST Locals and tourists alike come to Hanalei town to hear the sweet sounds of ‘ukulele concerts. The ‘ukulele, which evokes so much about Hawai‘i, was actually brought to the Islands by Portuguese immigrants in the 1800s. The powerful music made from this little instrument will surprise you. Pick up your own ‘ukulele at one of the Island’s shops for your trip home. The vowels are pronounced: a like a in above ā like a far e like e in bet ē like ay in pay i like y in city ī like ee in see o like o in low ō like o in sole u like oo in hoot ū like oo in moon Some vowels are diphthongs, forming a single sound as in ai in Waimea. In general, the consonants are pronounced as in English with the exception of w. W can be either a v or a w sound. Stories of Kaua‘i The Hula of Kaua‘i with Kumu Hula Kapu Kinimaka-Alquiza A few words you should know: aloha: a reciprocal greeting of affection; hello, good-bye and so much more kāne: man keiki: child lei: a garland given for any occasion; traditionally flower, seed, shell, nut, feathers and various forms of foliage mahalo: thank you; respect ‘ohana: family pau: finished wahine: woman “We are the oldest Island in our Hawaiian chain and the people tend to carry old values and traditions.

For more information, visit the Dept. of Agriculture website at hawaii.gov/hdoa. Climate Kaua‘i has seven distinct microclimates, from the desert-like West Side to the tropical rain forest interior. Weather can vary from one part of the Island to another. Mount Wai‘ale‘ale, at the heart of Kaua‘i’s interior, is a quintessential rain forest with over 400 inches of rain per year. While it’s raining here, however, you’ll find warm breezes and sunny skies elsewhere on Kaua‘i. Areas around the interior Mt. Wai‘ale‘ale are generally not affected by the rain that falls at the mountain’s peak, and the coastal parts of the Island get far less rain than the central spots (as little as 18 inches a year on the West Side). When you do see rain, it’s a beautiful and brief blessing, usually followed by glorious rainbows. Kaua‘i’s trade winds are another reason for such great weather on the Island. The winds are generally light and help blow away humidity. Dress Code Dress for comfort. Think “light” in terms of color and fabrics. Temperatures are cooler in the evening, and a sweater or windbreaker/ jacket is recommended for those planning to venture into cool upland regions such as Kōke‘e. Attire is “resort wear” even at Kaua‘i’s finest resorts and restaurants. Transportation On Kaua‘i, ground transportation includes rental cars, shuttles and taxis. Several companies provide guided tours aboard motor coaches, mini-buses, vans, fourwheel-drive vehicles and limousines.

(Please note, rental companies prohibit vehicles on unpaved roads such as Polihale.) Protecting Kaua‘i Mālama i ke kai Mālama i ke kai (take care of the ocean) is an ancient Hawaiian tradition that you should practice while visiting Kaua‘i. This means please don’t touch the coral or the plants and animals surrounding it. In fact, keep a respectful distance from all sea creatures—for their safety and yours. Mālama i ka ‘āina Mālama i ka ‘āina (take care of the land) is one of the more important concepts in Hawaiian philosophy, and it’s as important today as ever.
