With its spectacular natural environment and easy accessibility, Kauai is the perfect destination for today's adventure traveler. From leisurely river kayak rides, scuba diving and ocean sailing, to horseback riding, hiking or biking.
What makes kayaking, surfing and golfing on Kauai so extraordinary are the unique and pristine vistas that surround you no matter where you are. Pure Kauai invites you to their "boot camp for health" with customized health vacations. Imagine arriving to a room full of rose petals and a schedule filled with life coaching and nutritional counseling. You can arrange daily delivery of special living food or vegetarian meals. Stay three days or three weeks. Record your personal transformation in your Pure Kauai journal.
This island is a treasure chest of healthy and inspiring vacation options. Resorts offer a diversity of spa and adventure experiences. At the Hyatt Regency Kauai's ANARA Spa, treatments include island ti leaf wraps and scrubs with Kauai's famous 'Alaea clay, known for its healing properties.
Kilauea Lakeside Estate, set in the center of a wildlife refuge, has outdoor options from yoga to bird watching the forty varieties of tropical birds to catching lake bass in time for the evening meal. A stay at the historic Waimea Plantation Cottages and a visit with the relaxation experts of Hart-Felt Massage[TM] may lead to a mango butter and kukui nut oil salt scrub that leaves both men and women glowing for days.
Na Aina Kai Botanical Gardens is a 240-acre serene oasis, composed of twelve themed gardens adorned with amazing bronze sculptures of children playing leapfrog to dancers performing hula. This oceanside private estate is filled with groves of hardwood trees, fruit orchards, and floral wonderlands, offering a meditative respite from the world.
There's always something going on somewhere; free hula shows, coffee plantation tours, a ride on a slow boat up the river. You can go to a luau, take the kids to a discovery museum, listen to Hawaiian musicians strumming soft guitars or just stare at the moon. It's all good on Kauai.
