Kauai Companion

Kauai Companion is first and foremost a travel guide for the island of Kauai. It covers the Garden Isle, as well as the four smaller islands; Molokai, Lanai, Niihau and Kahoolawe. Come with the author on a road trip, around the entire island, stopping at all the major towns and villages, and pointing out in detail, over 90 points of interest and attractions as we go along. Directions to all attractions include an address, mile marker and specific instructions on how to get there. There are over 80 color pictures of the key attractions, plus any local tips to make each attraction more enjoyable.

The book will explore in depth, the natural wonders and attractions that uniquely define this island paradise. The Na Pali Coast, one of the three most picturesque coastlines in the world, and Waimea Canyon, that Mark Twain called the Grand Canyon of the Pacific. Take the Koloa Heritage Trail to Poipu Beach, one of the top ten beaches in the world, or hike the Kalalau Trail, considered by some, as one of the top three hiking trails in the world. There will also be plenty of time to stop at some of the best botanical gardens and beaches you will find anywhere. Kauai is one of the most beautiful islands in the world, no wonder more Hollywood movies have been shot here, than anywhere else.

Find out the best way to get around. When to use public transportation, rent a car or a scooter, take a tour. Island hop on a regional airline to one of the smaller islands like Molokai or Lanai, for a day trip, where you can visit the world’s tallest sea cliffs at Kalaupapa, or see the incredibly unique Garden of the Gods (Keahiakawelo) on Lanai.
