The “Garden Isle” is the most beautiful, verdant island (in our humble opinion) and has its share of truly awesome sights.    The Napili Coast, approachable by boat only, is spectacular. There is also the Grand Canyon of the Pacific, Waimea Canyon, which is seen by helicopter and affords views of pristine water falls and flora and fauna untouched by man ever.  Poipu Beach on the South side of the island is picturesque and always sunny.  However, our best memory of the island is the Fern Grotto cruise.

The Fern Grotto, a short trip of about 40-45 minutes on the Wailua River, is one of Kauai’s most beautiful and fun attractions.  You are taken to a cave covered with ferns and other greenery as well as a gorgeous Hawaiin-style waterfall. Once, only the Kings of Hawaii were allowed to see this beauty. Now everybody can enjoy this delightful river cruise and the Grotto.  For those old Elvis fans, there’s a scene in ‘Blue Hawaii’ actually  filmed at the Grotto.  You will be serenaded by music (including Hawaiian Wedding Song) while there and on the return trip, there is also a fun Hula lesson!
