The tropical paradise of Kauai basks
amidst the sparkling blue waters of the Pacific Ocean, only 20 minutes by air
from Honolulu. Formed some six million years ago, the island encompasses roughly
550 miles and is the oldest and most northerly of the main Hawaiian Islands.
To visit Kauai is to quickly lose
yourself in the quiet majesty of the island's lush tropical setting and
extraordinary natural heritage. Come; discover the legendary aloha spirit that
abounds in this friendly garden island paradise.
The
"Garden Island" is considered by many to be the most beautiful
of the Hawaiian Islands, because of its lush, tropical rainforest,
desolate moonscapes and more than 40 spectacular beaches. Life on Kauai is
unhurried from the Na Pali Coast to Waimea Canyon with plenty of
unforgettable beaches and stunning waterfalls in-between. Most people have
already seen Kauai on the silver screen as the lush, Eden-like backdrop
for hundreds of films including Blue Hawaii, South Pacific, Jurassic Park,
Raiders of the Lost Ark, Outbreak and Gilligan's Island. Yet the camera's
lens could never do the island justice. Some of the best golf courses in
the Hawaiian Islands are found on Kauai, including the Poipu Bay Resort
Golf Course, known from the PGA Grand Slam of Golf, and the Prince Courses
at the Princeville Resort.
