Synopsis

The tropical paradise of Kauai is an adventurer's dream. As the fourth largest Hawaiian island, Kauai has amazing beaches and a lush pristine interior that invite travelers to discover its hidden getaways. In Hidden Kauai, award-winning travel writer Ray Riegert balances coverage of Kauai's growing travel facilities — including the resorts, condos and restaurants around Poipu and Lihue — with extensive details on the island's many natural attractions, adventure activities, and still-undiscovered sites. The guide is packed with beach descriptions (36 in all), plus outdoor activities including 35 surfing spots, 23 snorkeling and scuba havens, 32 fishing areas, 7 sea kayaking routes, and 27 hikes. The author leads readers to over two dozen hidden locales including secret beaches, coastal bed-and-breakfast inns, and bits of wilderness. The wide range of dining reviews cover fresh seafood, Japanese, pan-Asian, and a dozen places to try local Hawaiian cuisine, while the 50 plus lodging recommendations range from condos and big hotels to cottage rentals and small inns.
