Kauai Activities

Surfing on Kauai

I have an admonition. I can’t surf. Now I realize that this comes as a shock for most of you, but I just can’t do it. Yes, I live on an island. Yes, the surfing here is wonderful. Yes, people pay large amounts of money to fly to Hawaii and take surfing lessons every year. But as for me, I’m clumsy.

I remember trying to surf as a child. It didn’t go well. I could never stay up, and by up I don’t mean standing. I wasn’t that lucky. You see, I considered myself blessed if I could stay atop the surf board for any length of time before inevitably falling off. While most of my friends practiced and became better, I practiced and got more bruised. One time I went out and ended up water-logged, bruised, and bleeding. (I had accidentally fallen and then simultaneously hit my head on the surf board on my way down.) Who knows – perhaps this much klutziness is a talent.

My friends to this day laugh at me. I even had one friend buy me surfing lessons from Hawaiian Surfing Adventures on the north shore, but I knew even then that I was hopeless. I suppose I just don’t fit the stereotype of the typical Hawaiian native. But that’s okay. I’ve learned to really enjoy watching others surf over the years. And just in case I’m frightening you, don’t worry. I have never known another human being, whether native or tourist, to have as much trouble learning as I have had. I’m guess I’m just not meant to fly across the water.

Helicopter Tours

Okay, here is something fun for tourists and short term residents of Kauai. Did you know you can get a helicopter tour of the island? Well, you can! Believe me when I tell you that there is nothing quite like flying above the lush paradise of my hometown and seeing everything Kauai has to offer. There are unique features of the island that you can only see from the air, so a helicopter ride is your best chance.

Sunshine Helicopters (also known as Will Squyres Helicopter Tours) is a tour company that offers copter rides and spectacular aerial views for a pretty good price. And Safari Helicopter Tours is located right next door, offering rides in some of the best helicopters on the island. Only an hour of flying can get you into places you’ve never dreamed, observing vibrant vegetation, tropical rainforests, plunging waterfalls, and dramatic vistas. The helicopter company calls these places the unspoiled side of Kauai, the parts that only wildlife can travel. And you’ll get to see it.

If you want to go on a helicopter tour of the island, then head east. Sunshine Helicopters and Safari Helicopter Tours are both located in Lihue, which is off of HWY 56 near the Kuhio Mall. If you are coming from the airport, you’d simply have to take HWY 51 south to Rice Street, hang a right and travel up to Eiwa Street, hang another right and follow this street until it ends at Hardy Street. Go left at Hardy and take an almost immediate right on Akahi Street. Safari is at the end of Akahi and for Sunshine you’ll have to turn left on Ahukini Road. It will be on your left.

Anahola Beach House – Eastern Kauai

August 30th, 2010 by Emily

Okay, today let’s go for big, beautiful, and on the beach! When you’re looking for an Anahola Beach House with enough room for a large family or a private party, it pays to know about this bodacious beauty right on the sand. With seven bedrooms, seven full bathrooms, and 5,000 square feet of opulent accommodations, you can get lost in this wonder of a rental. Plus, did I mention it was only a few hundred feet away from the water?

This comfortable beach house located at 4274 Poha Road has modern furnishings, a private courtyard, free wireless internet access, and an outdoor BBQ area complete with garden showers for rinsing off after some fun in the ocean. It is perfect for a large group of individuals or couples who are traveling together, especially if money is an issue. At $7,000 a week, you can either have a very large house all to yourself or you can invite everyone you know and make a party of it, splitting the cost between the lot of you.

The best part is that this house is on the east side of the island, giving you access to everything eastern Kauai has to offer, from Fern Grotto and the Kauai Museum to Kilohana Plantation and Kipu Falls. In fact, the east side also has Lydgate State Park, by far one of the best family beaches on the island. After renting this house, you can truly have a great time exploring the east side of the island right from your own backyard. What could be better?

Anini / Kalihiwai

So today I decided to walk down to the beach. Well, really I drove to the park and then walked down to the beach. Let me explain. On the northern side of Kauai off of Anini Road, there is a park called Kalihikai Park. It is a lovely place and also one of the few places on the island where you can go camping. When I was first learning to write, I would wander down to the campground and “people watch” for hours. It’s amazing how many stories you can come up with if you just have enough interesting people crammed into one place.

Anyway, Kalihikai Park is right on the ocean, so the beach is readily accessible. Whenever I want to “people watch” for a while, I take my notebook and head to the park, walking down to the beach to admire the sapphire waves and the white sands. All sorts of people come to the beach, especially since many different water activities are made available there by Hawaiian businessmen. When searching for a fun activity or two, you can find any number of rental deals from boats and surfing gear to snorkeling and scuba equipment. It’s just that kind of place.

Today was my day to simply relax, however, and leave the water activities to the tourists. I brought a good book, a large beach towel, a small cooler of refreshments, and absorbed the sun for a few hours. It felt good to be out in the sunshine enjoying the humid weather and the scent of the sea breezes. While I enjoyed watching a few tourists learn how to surf, the day wasn’t about “people watching”. The day was about me. I was relaxed, I was enjoying the sights and sounds of the oceanfront, and I was suddenly very sunburned! That teaches me to forget my hat!

Haena

Haena is located near the road’s end and World Famous ‘Tunnels Beach’. It is a short 4 mile drive from Hanalei along a road that winds around the cliff sides high above the Pacific. Those who travel frequently say that this is the most beautiful place on Earth. View other Haena Vacation Rentals

Hanalei

On Sunday I was inspired. I drove over to Hanalei Bay and ate a picnic lunch, waiting for 3 pm to roll around. The bay is a nice area for a seaside day without the pounding surf. I enjoy going up there sometimes just to sit and think, often taking a book along or my guitar and lazing by the water. It’s very relaxing, which I very much enjoy. Plus, when I put a small hat out while I’m playing my guitar, sometimes I make pocket money!

Anyway, I usually hang out around Princeville on Friday and Sunday afternoons, for I love live music. I always have and I probably always will. And Princeville is usually the place to find it, though there are a few venues down south. Music gives me so much inspiration, and I find myself doing things I never thought I could like writing a book, cleaning up the house after my brother visits, learning the guitar, going on a zip line course, and more. Music speaks to me, especially if it is live and I know the musicians, which just happens to be the case with the McMasters.

The McMasters (also known as Doug and Sandy) play a Slack Key Concert almost every Friday and Sunday afternoon, and I often find myself entering the Hanalei Community Center to listen to their performances. The Community Center is home to myriad other activities as well, so I know the area well. It’s located just off of HWY 560 near the Ching Young Village Shopping Center. As a side note, the shopping center is a great place to find great restaurants, tour reservations, surfing lessons, and maybe great stores. You should definitely check it out if you are going to be visiting the area.

Anyway, the concert went well. After all, Doug and Sandy don’t just play music; they tell stories using their guitar and ukulele. Their music is soft, sweet, and relaxing. I can almost feel my internal frequencies adjusting to the spirit of aloha. I always leave their performances feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the week. So if you are on the island and want a wonderful music experience, come see them play. You won’t regret it.

Poipu

The South Shore’s Poipu is a wonderland of diversity with excellent beaches for swimming, snorkeling, fishing and surfing. In contrast, there is championship golf, tennis, hiking and a wealth of historical and scenic sites. View other Poipu Vacation Rentals
