Meet Kauai
Hanalei Bay with Bali Hai in the background on Kauai's dramatic north shore
If I were visiting just one Hawaiian island, Kauai would be the place.
Kauai encapsulates all that is wonderful about Hawaii into a small manageable island. There's just one main road here, and it doesn't even traverse the entire island.
Kauai is draped with emerald valleys, sharp mountain spires and jagged cliffs. Much of the island is only accessible by sea or air, revealing scenery that's beyond your imagination. If you only take one helicopter ride in your life, do it on Kauai.
The verdant north shore of Kauai is where you'll find breathtaking Hanalei Bay and the resort area of Princeville. The rainforest is also located on the northern part of the island, home to somme of the wettest places on earth.
In contrast is Poipu, on the south shore of Kauai. Here the skies are sunnier, and the climate drier. Because the weather and scenery is so diverse,visitors often split their vacation between the north shore of Kauai and the sunny southern shores of Poipu.
Cost conscious visitors often stay on the Cocoanut Coast on the eastern side of the Kauai. There's a wide selection of 3 and 4 star hotels near Ka'aapa. Basing one's self here, you'll have equidistant access to both the Kauai's north and the sunny southern shores of Poipu.
