aptain Chris of Na Pali Riders has the only raft company consistently touring the ENTIRE 17 miles of the Na Pali Coast.* Captain Chris says, “Touring the Na Pali Coast truly is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We make sure that our passengers get to see it all including the famous sites of Hanakoa Valley, Hanakapi‘ai Valley, the Pirates Sea Cave, and the Double Door Cave. These are some of the most significant attractions on the Na Pali Coast and should not be missed.” The Na Pali Riders’ difference starts with attention to detail in all aspects of our Na Pali Coast Raft Tour. We offer a ride on our state-of-the-art 30-foot, 920 Zodiac raft. Departures are from the West Side’s Kikiaola Harbor in Waimea, the closest harbor to the Na Pali Coast. Snorkeling takes place at one of three different locations depending on currents, water clarity and conditions permitting. All beginning snorkelers have our experienced and knowledgeable crewmen as their personal guides.

29th Annual

rive over to sunny Po‘ipu for the 29th Annual Koloa Plantation Days, July 18-27, where you’ll mix and mingle with local folks, and learn about the rich cultural and historical background of the Koloa and Po‘ipu communities. Koloa is where Hawai‘i’s first sugar plantation was founded in 1835. As such, countless immigrants from the Philippines, Europe, the Azores, Japan, Korea, China and other locales came to work on the plantation, and called this area home. They brought with them cultural traditions, music, dances and foods ensuring the rich melting pot that is Hawai‘i. You’ll experience all this during the 10-day festival, in addition to the culture, traditions, crafts and music of the host Hawaiian culture. Participate in any of the 25 family-friendly events featuring a diverse range of local foods, culture and activities, nature walks to discover the area’s unique ecology and archaeology, plus enjoy the warmth of the aloha spirit from isle residents. Learn more about Koloa Plantation Days and get a detailed schedule of events online at koloaplantationdays.com.

kalapaki joe’s

Breakfast Anyone?

Before breaking trail or heading round the island, make Kountry Style Kitchen a must-stop. Fill up on their yummy and oh-so hearty homestyle breakfasts.

Kalapaki Joe’s serves up weekend breakfasts. Try the Longboard or Country Breafkast, Huevos Rancheros, plus a variety of scrambles and sides. Oh, a mimosa too! At Kiahuna Golf Club, fill up at Joe’s on the Green. The Eggs Benedict or banana macadamia nut pancakes will set you up for a hole in one. Early Bird Specials 7-8 a.m. Mon.-Sat.

Enjoy an island dining experience that engages all the senses: visual appeal, tantalizing aromas, and of course, scrumptious flavors.

Romance Perhaps? An evening meal and drinks set against a spectacular setting sun are the perfect accompaniment to a night of romance. Seaview Terrace at the Grand Hyatt Kaua‘i Resort & Spa presents the perfect spot for two. The rays of a setting sun dance in the shimmering Pacific Ocean, all while you enjoy light fare and a cocktail. Soothing live island music begins at 6 p.m. Also enjoy torchlighting and a Keiki Hula Show on Tues. & Sat.

Hale Aina Award-winner Red Salt serves up continental breakfast with hot and cold items, as well as a la carte menu items. MCS Grill has a selection of breakfast items, including everyman’s fave—Loco Moco. Light options too: breakfast wrap, breakfast sandwich or yogurt and granola.

The Rodgers & Hammerstein’s classic, “South Pacific,” is now showing live on the island on which the movie was originally filmed. Check it out at the Kaua‘i Beach Resort.

fresh fish anyone?

hoosing the right fish from the menu is like selecting fine wine—each has its own taste, aroma and texture. People eat twice as much seafood in Hawai‘i as the U.S. per capita national average. What does that mean to you? Every restaurant has fresh fish on the menu with a not-so-familiar Hawaiian name. Use this guide to find the fish that has the qualities you enjoy the most.

Onaga

Long-Tail Red Snapper: Soft and moist with a delicate flavor, onaga can be baked, steamed or sauteed.

Opakapaka

Pink Snapper: This delicately flavored fish has a tender texture perfectly suited for baking, poaching and sauteing.

Shutome

Swordfish: This fish is tasty without any seasoning. It has a delicate, slightly fruity flavor and a subtle aroma. Texture is succulent and meaty.

Opah

Moonfish: Popular with chefs, opah has a juicy, rich flavor with a roast pork-like aroma. Texture is very tender.

More fish choices Ahi Tuna, Yellowfin/Bigeye Tuna

Mahimahi, Dolphin Fish

Considered one of Hawai‘i’s most popular choices, ahi is served raw as sliced sashimi or cooked rare.

Mahimahi is for the finicky fish eater. It has a mellow, lemony, sweet-rich flavor with a silky, yet flaky, tender texture.

Ono, Wahoo

Eat fresh fish

A distinctive, yet delicate, tangy-citrus flavor simillar to poultry or veal. Chewy and firm texture.

Enjoy fresh cuts of isle fish in sushi rolls, fresh sashimi, in a poke dish, as ceviche or in a seafood chowder. Ono! Delicious!

ems unique to the islands are all quality made and painstakingly crafted to reflect the true beauty and traditions of its heritage. The neighboring ‘‘Forbidden Isle’’ of Ni‘ihau is the source of Ni‘ihau shells. Legally, these shells can only be called ‘‘Ni‘ihau’’ if they are collected from the shores of said island. Tiny and delicate, the shells generally fall into three categories: kahelani, momi, laiki, as well as kamoa, a shell in a contrasting color. Authentic Ni‘ihau shell lei are carefully strung together by hand by artisans, who are experts in this art. The value of each lei is determined by the availability of the shells used. The price of a Ni‘ihau shell lei is directly related to its quality. Situated at the junction of two highways, the familyowned and operated Old Hawaiian Trading Post carries a wide selection of

you feel like taking a dip. Be aware of ocean conditions before venturing into Hawai‘i’s waters. They’re different from your hometown beach, so take precautions. Heed any posted warning signs and check with lifeguards about ocean conditions. Remember, “If you’re in doubt, don’t go out!” Check out our beach guide on page 82.

Adrenaline Junkies!

Let your inner thrillseeker loose with high-flying adventures via an amazing helicopter flight above the lush Garden Isle or while zipping across the tree canopy. Let go of your inhibitions and fly! If you’re afraid of heights, then perhaps a horseback or ATV ride might be more to your liking. However, don’t discount your inner strength on a whim. Challenge yourself. The views are so worth it!

WAILUA RIVER Fueled by nearly 440 inches of rain each year, Wailua River has a mighty presence

HTA / Robert Coello

he river’s journey begins on the slopes of Mount Wai‘ale‘ale, a dormant crater that stands as a testament to the fiery beginnings of Kaua‘i’s eden-like beauty. At 5,243 feet, Wai‘ale‘ale SMITH’S FERN (Hawaiian for “rippling waters”) GROTTO CRUISE is considered one of the rainiest >smithskauai.com WAILUA MARINA STATE PARK spots on earth. Its height, conical MAP B:B17 \ 808 821 6892 shape and position in the island TOURS 9:30AM, 11AM, 2PM, chain create the trifecta of weather 3:30PM DAILY conditions for abundant rainfall. ALI‘I KAYAKS From the summit, the river travels 808 241 7700 nearly 10 miles down the southeast face emptying out its liquid cargo KAYAK WAILUA 808 822 3388 in two popular and easily accessible waterfalls: the 80-foot Wailua Falls and Opaeka‘a Falls (Map G:N10). “Opaeka‘a” means “rolling shrimp,” many of which were once plentiful in the stream. But the journey doesn’t end there. The winding flow of water makes its way along 11 miles of thick, verdant foliage. Its lushness is attributed to the river’s tendency to overflow its banks depositing nutrient-rich sediments along the river’s edge. Rich soil, coupled with the ancient Hawaiian’s acumen for horticulture, made the region a natural breadbasket. Tributaries carry the river inland allowing for the construction of fishponds. And while shallow waters restrict travel by larger boats, kayaks are an excellent way to explore off-river areas. Shift into low gear with a lazy boat ride on Wailua River with Smith’s Fern Grotto Cruise. Started in 1946 by Walter Smith, Sr. and his wife, the family business continues four generations later. Hear the songs and stories of ancient Hawai‘i, and get a hula lesson too. Once at the landing, enjoy a short nature walk through a rainforest to the lush Fern Grotto.

Puakea Golf Course

There’s one thing you can normally count on when playing golf in Hawai‘i: wind! Most golfers end up swinging too hard to try and overpower the wind. This makes them fall off balance resulting in poor golf swings and poor golf shots. Balance is the key in any golf swing, but especially when playing in the wind. Take two to three more clubs than normal and swing easier to maintain good balance throughout the swing. This will also help take off some spin on the golf ball resulting in straighter golf shots. The saying is true, “Swing easy when it’s breezy!” Courtesy scott ashworth pga director of golf kauai lagoons golf club

The first two miles of the trail open to all is a popular day hike. It stretches from Ha‘ena State Park to Hanakapi‘ai Beach, offering people just a sample of what lies beyond. Be aware that crossing Hanakapi‘ai Stream is dangerous when it becomes swollen due to recent rain; wait until it subsides to cross. The 11-mile Kalalau Trail provides the only land access into this part of the island. Traversing five valleys and skirting imposing cliffs with incredible views, it ends at Kalalau Beach. An earlier foot trail created by the ancient Hawaiian people who lived in this area linked their settlements along the coastline. The current Kalalau Trail, built in the late 1800s, loosely follows this path. To tackle this advanced hike, a permit is mandatory, as well as sufficient food, water and shelter. Map G.

Kayaking

Get down close to the water and power your way across the surface while enjoying the surrounding scenery and Wailua Falls hearing the pleasing sound of paddle in water. If you’ve never kayaked before, ease into the experience on the “Class Zero” Wailua River via two family-owned and operated outfitters, Ali‘i Kayaks and Kayak Wailua. Wailua River is one of the most perfect locations for all experience levels, and the best place for families and beginners. In addition, both companies include an added hike to their kayak itinerary. Along your river journey, learn about the area’s history, possibly visit some significant ancient Hawaiian sites and see two popular and accessible waterfalls, Opaeka‘a Falls and Wailua Falls.

Kaua‘i’s

Best Beaches PO‘IPU BEACH PARK

Considered one of America’s “Best Beaches” according to the Travel Channel, it’s located on Kaua‘i’s south shore. Great conditions for snorkeling and scuba diving. Lifeguard on duty. Map F:F9. HTA / Tor Johnson

ANINI BEACH PARK

This beach is protected by a long fringing reef and is among one of the best swimming beaches on the north shore. Great for families. Also good for snorkeling. Picnic areas, restrooms, showers. Map C:D16. HTA / Robert Coello

SALT POND BEACH PARK

This west side beach got its name from the folks who still use the beach’s salt ponds to make Hawaiian salt. A partially protected reef provide good swimming conditions year-round, tidepools, sunset views. Lifeguard on duty. Map D:C20.

HTA / Robert Coello

LYDGATE STATE PARK

Once a place of refuge in ancient Hawai‘i, it’s now a good place for picnickers. Excellent swimming area for kids, picnic area and a community playground in the Lihu‘e/Kalapaki region. Lifeguard on duty. Map B:D18.

HANALEI BAY BEACH PARK Enjoy spectacular vistas and great swimming conditions. The view from here was made famous in the movie musical “South Pacific.” Beware of occasional rough ocean conditions. Lifeguard on duty. Map C:C11.

HTA / Tor Johnson

The beautiful beaches and sparkling ocean that surround Kaua‘i are wonderful vacation playgrounds. But before heading out to play, talk to your concierge or an activity provider about specific beach features, its surrounding waters and potential, invisible rip currents. For your safety, community volunteers have installed Rescue Tubes, 10 foot high tubes with personal flotation devices used to stabilize a distressed swimmer. If you see one at the beach, be sure to read about their usage. THIS WEEK KAUAI

I mean you, Bubba, & Li’l Bubba too–– Does your snorkel flop? Does water splash in and douse your breather? Does your swivel leak or crunch sand? Is that your kid whining over snuks & womb implosion trauma? Well, look at this: The Bubba snorkels (pat pending) drain splash water, block backwash and clear easy as ptuey! Salt-watered sinuses burn.The Ultima Bubba™, for 100-pounders or better, breathes free, clears easy and stays dry. Kids gag on adult snorkels or junk kid snorkels with collapsible mouthpieces. The Li’l Bubba™ is the first dry snorkel in small format EVER. With a short stroke and narrow bore in proportion to smaller lungs, the Li’l Bubba™ lets your junior barracuda breathe easy, happy as a meadowlark in springtime. The Bubba snorkels are simply the best dry snorkels on the market today. No snuks, leaks, or pond scum in the gear wash.

FREE BUBBA (Li’l or Ultima) for use with gear for the week!
