Where lush volcanic soil feeds rain forests and taro patches, Mark & Julie experience the "spirit of Aloha". Land once covered in sugar cane fields is now home to riding stables, and roads once used to transport the sugar crop are now ideal terrain for mountain biking. They'll explore the magnificent Na Pali coast from sea level in a zodiac then board a helicopter for incomparable aerial views! With all of these adventures, one could forget that Kauai has some of Hawaii's most beautiful white, sandy beaches and the only navigable rivers in the islands, perfect for a leisurely kayak trip. The island is small but has distinctly different climates - the north, Princville side is more tropical, lush and rainy; the Poipu area is drier and sunnier. Hanalei in the north is the more laid-back, hippy enclave on the island.
