OWNER NEWSLETTER
JULY 2024
FROM THE GENERAL MANAGER, CHRIS GAMPON
Summer has arrived! Whether you are a beach enthusiast, a nature lover, enjoy health and fitness, or savor simple relaxation, sunny summer days at Timbers Kaua‘i have something unforgettable in store.
In addition to year-round activities like Owner beach days, aqua fitness, and yoga, we have added more organized hiking activities around the island, providing the opportunity to explore spectacular trails in Koke’e State Park that are difficult to access outside of the summer months. If you prefer to stay closer to home, weekly favorites like the bird and nature tour, e-bike tours, and The Farm at Hōkūala tour are beautiful additions to any visit. Owners who like to walk or bike independently can visit the Farm Hale for a cool beverage, frozen treat, or snacks.
Summer on Kaua‘i is a time when the island truly comes alive. The Pacific waters are crystal clear, inviting us to swim, snorkel, and surf. Everywhere you look, the lush landscapes are bursting with tropical blooms. Evenings are pure magic, with sunsets painting the sky in hues of pink, orange, and purple, with the relaxing sound of waves crashing on the shore. Summer in Kaua‘i is more than a season; it’s a celebration of the island’s natural beauty and the spirit of aloha that binds us all.
