Visit Kauai for a Unique Holiday Experience



by Dean Prater


Kauai is most likely one of the most underrated holiday locations in the US. A lot less developed when compared to the neighboring Oahu and Maui, Kauai is an unspoilt hidden treasure. In spite of its small size, Kauai offers a wide array of landscapes. The area has beautiful beaches, high rising cliffs, museums with remarkable artifacts and its own blend of fantastic food, music and hula. Besides exquisite waterfalls, mountains, gardens and museums, the place also offers some exceptional activities for vacationers. For instance ,:

A Tour of Blair Estate

Cigars and Coffee, much like wine, are things to be appreciated. At Kapaa, Kauai you can take a tour of Blair Estate and understand all about the operations, which eventually result in your favorite coffee or cigar. The lush estate is spread over 5 acres, which includes 2 acres of tobacco and three acres of coffee plantations. According to an article in the Star Advertiser, the estate recently celebrated its tenth anniversary. Here visitors get a one of a kind opportunity to look at everything, right from the tending of coffee and tobacco plants all the way to the manufacturing of the final products.

The guided tour provides a walk through the organic farms where vacationers are presented details about harvesting coffee and procedures of pulping, drying, fermenting, classifying and roasting coffee. Cigar fans will enjoy the second part of the tour during which tourists are given detailed information about harvesting tobacco and just how leaves in various parts of the tobacco plant are used for different reasons in a cigar. Overall the tour is strongly recommended for coffee and cigar fans.

Helicopter Ride over Kauai Region

For anyone who is in an adventurous mood, you are able to take a helicopter ride for a bird's eye view of this delightful place. A considerable part of the diverse landscape of this location is inaccessible and so the only approach to observe these areas is thru a helicopter. The ride provides a close look at amazing canyons, waterfalls, valleys, mountains, beaches as well as forests of the region. Typical highlights of many Kauai helicopter tours, that last for about an hour, include the famous Jurassic Park Falls, the Waimea Canyon, the Hanapepe Valley, the Menehune Fish Pond, the Hanalei Valley, the Wailua Falls, Mt. Waialeale, the Na Pali Coast and Nawlliwili Harbour. Various companies also offer doors off helicopter tours, that not merely offer magnificent views, but also permit you to take some fantastic photos. A helicopter ride over Kauai is surely an experience you're not likely to forget.

Kauai also offers some excellent accommodation options, which is necessary for a great holiday. If you're looking for a luxurious and relaxing place to stay with your family, you can select a bluegreen vacation at Pono Kai Resort. The banana, papaya and palm trees, lush vegetable and herb gardens, along with Japanese gardens at the resort rapidly takes you to a tropical paradise. You can unwind by the pool, take a stroll on the golden sands or just soak yourselves in the turquoise waters of the sea just a few steps outside the resort.
