The original island crops are the center of Kauai’s story. In addition to sustaining the ancient Hawaiians, these crops helped stabilize the modern economy. Counting wild chickens is an oddball but fun activity on Kauai. You’ll see thousands of them roaming the island, crossing roads and gardens, squawking, and occasionally even grazing on the beach. Here are some interesting facts about the islands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Queen’s Bath – At the top of Mount Waialeale on Kauai’s North Shore, you’ll find a natural tide pool. Hawaiian royalty used to swim in this large sinkhole, and it’s no surprise that its name is still associated with this sacred place. While you’re on Kauai, you’ll want to hike down the rocky terrain to get to the Queen’s Bath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poipu Beach Park – The best local beach is Poipu. It’s a popular spot for tourists because the park is surrounded by nature, including seals and turtles. Take time to watch the sunset from a beautiful location. If you’re a foodie, you’ll want to sample some local cuisine. You’ll find many delicious options here, including poke and shave ice. You can also sample the island’s famous loco moco and kalua pork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kalalau Valley: A hiking trail through the valley overlooks the famous Waimea Canyon, a craggy mountain ridge. From there, you can see the cliffs that rise in the Na Pali Mountains. While there, you’ll also find a lookout for the giant Napali cliffs. To learn more about Kauai’s history, you’ll find the Kokee Natural History Museum. The museum includes historical exhibits and information about the ecology and weather conditions of the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A day trip to Hanalei offers some excellent activities for families. Try a Hawaiian luau show. This evening event usually includes hula dancers, fire knife dancing, and a buffet of local fare. Taking in a live show will provide you with a unique insight into Polynesian culture, while the island’s scenic scenery is a must-see for most visitors. In addition, Kauai’s lush jungles and volcanic peaks make for a great backdrop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another popular spot for snorkeling is the Kilauea Point Monument. The 52-foot monument is located on the northernmost point of the island. You can see a variety of seabirds and other marine life from atop the monument, and you can also get a close look at humpback whales in the winter. You’ll need binoculars if you visit this attraction. It is also a good place to take your family for some family bonding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To sample the island’s local foods, you’ll need to try the delicious poke. This Hawaiian food is served with seasonings like furikake, unagi sauce, and wasabi mayo. A great place to enjoy this food is a restaurant called Rum Fire. These restaurants are known for serving fresh fish and other delicacies. They also feature live music and chef demos. In addition to scrumptious food, Kauai has many delicious events that are sure to please any palate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
