  • Kauai - Puka shell chandelier

  • This chandelier made entirely of shells survived a huge storm in the late 90's. The hotel staff said it was the only thing that wasn't damaged from the storm. Legend has it that using the shells will protect the property from total destruction. Anyway, I was fascinated by the chandelier...regardless of the legend.

  • The ukelele is the most recognized instrument when someone thinks of Hawaiian music. Here's a local singing Hawaiian folk songs and playing a ukelele at Gaylord's Restaurant outside of Lihue, Kaua'i.

  • You think a hogroast is good? Try an authentic polynesian luau. The pig is slowly smoked in the ground all day. It is removed from the ground, cleaned, & prepared for the grand feast. There are many luaus to choose from on Kaua'i...all of which are very similar in price. This being said, do the luau at the Grand Hyatt. You won't regret it. Lots of fun!!!
