Day Trip to Kaua'i

Day Trip to Kaua'i

When visiting the islands of Hawaii, it's fun to take a day trip to one of the neighboring islands. Hawaiian Airlines flies several times a day between any of these islands and it's relatively cheap to do so.

In our case, we went to Kaua'i. The first thing you'll notice is that the soil is red, just like in Australia. Many TV programs and movies have been filmed on this island, including The Thorn Birds, Fantasy Island, and Elvis' movie Blue Hawaii.

The island also has the deepest canyon in the Pacific, Waimea Canyon, also called the Grand Canyon of the Pacific. Waimea Canyon was used in the filming of the 1993 film Jurassic Park.

The island is small enough to tour in 1 day, but if you like a more relaxing Hawaiian vacation away from Honolulu, stay a few days on Kaua'i and you sure won't regret it. In my view, it's the most beautiful of the Hawaiian Islands.

Whether you're a first-time or certified diver, Koloa Landing is one of the most awesome dives you can do in Kauai. I've logged over 1000 dives there and I am continually amazed at what I find. The set-up area isn't the prettiest but don't judge a book by its cover or you'll miss out on what it could be the best dive experience of your vacation (and maybe your dive career)!

If you want visually stunning, this may not be the dive site for you. But if you want aquatic life galore then come on down. From huge endangered Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles to playful monk seals and curious spotted eagle rays, from the rare Harlequin Shrimp to the fun banded coral shrimp, which loves to give you a free manicure, there is so much to see and experience. Don't let dive cynics fool you - this is a great dive for those who appreciate our beautiful underwater world.

Of course I'm biased, but to get the most out of your dive, whether you've got loads of experience or are venturing out for the first time, book a guided tour with Aquatic Adventures Scuba to receive top-notch service and a highly personalized underwater tour where you'll get introduced to a lot of the aquatic life.

Kee Beach

Wonderful snorkeling beach with a nice protected reef which means lots of vibrant fish. My husband and I felt like were swimming in the word's biggest aquarium. Amazing! Even when the surf is up you can swim. Actually there was only one day we couldn't snorkel there. Great to bring kids too, as the water is calm. There are bathrooms. In addition there are some cool, dark, deep caves on the road in to Kei beach.

Beautiful Beaches

The beaches of Kauai were excellent for relaxing and soaking up the sun. If you are looking for a crowd, stay away. Most days we were the only people on the beach. It was said that a beach is within five miles of any destination on the islands. There aren't vendors on the beaches trying to sell things to you; it is an unspoiled, uncommercial paradise. You can rent equipment from the small mom-and-pop stores all over the island.
