Kauai Vacation Tips – Coconut Coast Fun for Whole Family

Kauai’s Scenic Coconut Coast

Traveling to Kauai with the extended family? Little ones, teenagers, maybe Grandma and Grandpa too?

Consider booking your accommodations on the East side of the island known as the Coconut Coast which encompasses Wailua, Waipouli and Kapaa Town on Kauai.

Coconut Coast Offers Central Location for Exploring Kauai

This side of the island offers activities for all ages in your family or group, as well as being centrally located, so that time spent driving to explore other sides of the island is easier for all.

On the Coconut Coast you will find more oceanfront condominium units than on any other area of Kauai. For many extended families on vacation, easy access to the beach, having use of a swimming pool, and being within close proximity to larger grocery stores, farmers markets, restaurants and shops are a must have! It’s even better if all are within walking distance.

Best Kauai Activities

Best Kauai Activities – Hiking, Mini Golf and Hawaiian Music

The Historic Kilauea Point Lighthouse

Kauai the oldest Island in the Hawaiian chain, and I believe it’s also the most beautiful. Yet people often think it might be too quiet for them. Well, you can dance the night away at lots of places on the planet, however if you want to unwind and truly experience Mother nature at her best you need to visit the Garden Island of Kauai.

Hiking and Walking Trails On Kauai

For hardy hikers there’s the popular Kalalau trail, a grueling 11-mile hike through the mountains of the Napali Coast. Less experienced hikers will enjoy Kauai’s 7-mile paved path alongside the ocean.

Waikiki Night Life – Sunset Music on the Beach

Enjoying Henry Kapono’s Sunday Show at Duke’s in Waikiki

Looking for something to do on a Sunday Night in Waikiki? One of my favorite thing to do is to go to Duke’s and listen to Henry Kapono play his beautiful Hawaiian music from 4PM to 6PM. Enjoy music right on the beach, and enjoy the exceptional food that Duke’s has to offer including the best “Poke Rolls” and delicious food.

Exploring Mauna Kea on the Big Island of Hawaii

Observatories and Sky Watching Atop a Big Island Volcano

Question:  Where can you, on a clear night, see both the North Star and the Southern Cross, while standing in the snow, and having been at the beach the same day?

There can only be a few correct answers to that question. The only one that I can vouch for is: Mauna Kea on the Big Island of Hawaii.

How high up are you to have snow in Hawaii? Well, if you count from sea level, Mauna Kea is about 13,796 feet up, about the same as a respectable Cascade or perhaps one of the Rocky Mountains.

Mauna Kea Volcano – Earth’s Highest Mountain

But if you count from the ocean floor? Geologically, Mauna Kea is Earth’s highest mountain — 33,500 feet from it’s seafloor base to volcanic peak.
