    • Waimea Canyon, 10 miles west of Poipu on Kauai, Hawaii, accessible in Waimea, is the beautiful canyon Mark Twain once called "the Grand Canyon of the Pacific." It has great views and spectacular hiking(and trail maps) from the summit at Kokee Park. On your hike, choose ocean views, canyon views, or jungle. They're all wonderful. A little rugged, but, depending on the hike, not too bad. Ask for advice at the General Store in Kokee.

    There are two wonderful lookouts on the 30 minute drive up Waimea Canyon Road to Kokee.

    • Kauai - Kalihiwai Beach

    • It's called Kalihiwai beach, unvisited by most tourists on Kauai. Take Lihue Highway north from Kilauea a short bit. Watch for the Kalihiwai street sign BEFORE (south of) the beautiful suspension bridge. There's another Kalihiwai Rd. just north of the bridge; that's the wrong one!

    Take the road all the way down to a quiet little residential street with man-made signs that say " Slow, keikis (kids) at play. " On your right, across the "street" from some funky homes, is the beach. It's big and beautiful, and the waves are rough(so watch it) but fun to play around in! Note the cliff on your right, behind you. See photo.
