This was for many years a favorite provisioning port with Pacific traders and whalers. Fern Grotto - The hauntingly beautiful cave, luxuriantly festooned with growing ferns, is reach from the Wailua Marina. Hanalei Valley - You will want to stop at the vantage point near the marker to gaze at this sweeping scene of majestic tranquility. Hanapepe Valley - Note the red cliffs and the handsome color accent they give the valley’s myriad shades of green and blue. Kalalau Lookout - Once peacocks preened their plumage in this tropic Eden and families cultivate terraces of taro. No one lives here now ….. Nothing remains but one of the most beautiful views on earth. Kauai Museum - The museum in Lihue presents a factual history of Kauai, using artifacts and photographs. Other historical and art exhibits are also displayed. Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge - A refuge for nesting seabirds, the isolated promontory where the lighthouse sits is open for visitors. Lumahai Beach - Chosen for Nurse’s Beach in “South Pacific,” this lovely spot is undoubtedly the most photograph beach on Kauai.

Spouting Horn - When tide is running high, waves pressured through lava tubes are forced through a hole in coastal rocks to burst noisily into spectacular fountains of salt and foam spray.
