West Kauai Travel Tips
A neat little list of attractions in West Kauai:
Na Pali Coast tours: "boat tours of the rugged coastline of steep cliffs, narrow valleys and empty beaches."
Waimea Canyon: The "Grand Canyon of the Pacific."
Captain Cook Monument: "The statue in Waimea Town commemorates the English explorer who in 1778 "discovered" what would become the Hawaiian Islands."
Russian Fort: "Only remnants of the fort near Waimea still exist."
Waimea: "You won't mistake the place for Lihue or Poipu, but there are enough markets, restaurants and cafes to make for an interesting afternoon."
Menehune Ditch: "The legend is better than the sight itself." Not exactly a ringing endorsement there.
Hanapepe: "One of the best-preserved plantation-era towns in the islands."
Here's more on Hawaii: Waimea named one of America's distinctive attractions, Fleming Beach: America's best beach, Hawaii vacation plan, Oahu vacation rentals and Lanai, NCL's Pride of Hawaii, where to start planning a Hawaiian vacation.
