Lihue (Kauai) vacations
Visit one of the world's most outstanding islands with a vacation at Lihue (Kauai). First things first—you have to try the shaved ice. Simple and delicious. Also, make sure to bring your golf clubs. The island offers nine stunning courses—including some designed by Jack Nicklaus—to give you 18 holes of happiness per day.

A little perspective
Don't worry. It's ok to stare. Considering the beauty of the Na Pali Coast and scale of the Waimea Canyon, it would be hard not to. The 17 rugged, mountainous miles of the Na Pali Coast are best appreciated by air, but seeing from the seat of a sea kayak will leave you awestruck. Same goes for the Waimea Canyon, affectionately known as the Grand Canyon of the Pacific. -
Golf
A day spent golfing with the ocean by your side is one thing. A day spent golfing with lava rocks lining greens, towering lush mountains in the background, and the wild blue Pacific by your side is another. The island's nine golf courses mean even the most avid golfers will have plenty of options. -
Lihue (Kauai)
Home to the island's airport, Lihue (Kauai) makes a great home base for all your Lihue (Kauai) adventures. Soak up the sun on both surf-friendly and swim-friendly Kalapaki Beach or check out the island's history at the Kauai Museum. Don't forget about the easy-to-get-to Wailua Falls. -
Whale watching
Humpback whales make their way to the warm waters off Kauai's Coasts to breed every year. Your best chance of seeing them is from December to May. You can sometimes spot them right from the beach, though professionally guided whale watching expeditions are highly recommended.

Surf's up
