Kauai Vacation Packages

Overview

Kauai’s attractions are endless.  Cruise into the island’s lush interior along the river towards peaceful Fern Grotto. Snorkel in the sparkling waters of the south shore at Poipu. Capture photos of one of the island’s most popular destinations as the nearby Spouting Horn lava tube blasts waves 60-feet in the air. This northernmost Hawaiian isle holds stunning views for hikers and sight-seers around every turn, from the towering cliffs of the sublime Na Pali Coast to the quaint town of Hanalei on the north shore. On the northernmost tip of Kauai resides the Daniel K. Inouye Kilauea Point Lighthouse, built in 1913. Visitors to the lighthouse will enjoy a breathtaking view and the adjacent seabird sanctuary.

Does that vista atop the breathtaking Kalalau Valley look familiar? This verdant valley was a backdrop for both Jurassic Park and the 1976 version of King Kong. Consider hiking tours or other guided adventures on this island, a true Hollywood darling, and the location of more than 60 Hollywood films and television shows, from Gilligan’s Island to Fantasy Island.
