Unique Attractions to Experience During Your Trip to Kauai

Aloha, and welcome to the beautiful island of Kauai, where paradise awaits you at every turn. As your friendly local guide, Kauai Calls is excited to take you on a journey to discover some of the island’s best-kept secrets. From the natural beauty of the Kauai Glass Beach to the beautiful Mokolea Lava Pools, every destination on this itinerary will surely leave you speechless. So, let’s dive into the magic of Kauai and uncover its hidden treasures together. 

Kauai is the oldest of the Hawaiian Islands and is known as the “Garden Isle” for its lush greenery. It’s home to some of the most beautiful beaches in the world as well as breathtaking Kauai state parks, which is why it’s a popular destination for honeymooners and families alike. But there’s so much more to Kauai than just sun, sand, and surf.

From hiking through rainforests to exploring ancient Hawaiian ruins, there are plenty of things to do on this island paradise.

The Blue Room 

The Blue Room is a hidden Waikapalae wet cave. Venture through a short hike and rocky scramble to discover the secret back grotto that gives The Blue Room its name. Experience the intoxicating blue hue that reflects from the grotto, creating an unbelievable atmosphere. While scientists attribute this phenomenon to sunlight reflecting off calcite, locals believe there may be a mystical connection to a Hawaiian mo’o goddess. Although the blue effect has diminished over time, lucky visitors can still experience its radiance during high tide and when the sun is just north of Ha’ena State Park. Let The Blue Room leave an indelible mark on your heart and soul.

Kauai glass beach

Kauai Glass Beach

Prepare to be stunned as we make our way to the breathtaking Kauai Glass Beach. The shoreline is covered in an array of colorful sea glass, polished smooth by the crashing waves. As you walk, the golden sand will sparkle with a kaleidoscope of colors. Take a moment to search for the perfect piece of sea glass to take home as a memento of this extraordinary place.

Pa’ula’ula

In the heart of Kauai lies Pa’ula’ula, an oasis of peace and spirituality. This beautiful valley is home to lush greenery, cascading waterfalls, and ancient temples. As you explore the valley’s hiking trails, let the natural beauty of the surroundings wash over you. Feel a deep connection to the island’s native culture and gain a newfound appreciation for Kauai’s rich heritage. Pa’ula’ula is a place where time stands still, nature’s beauty thrives, and somewhere where you can calm your mind. 

Parker Ranch

Leaving the tranquility of the valleys behind, we now venture to Parker Ranch, a slice of the Wild West in the heart of Kauai. Channel your inner country and saddle up for a guided horseback ride through rolling hills and beautiful views. As you gallop through the breathtaking countryside, the panoramic views will take your breath away. Enjoy the spirit of the West and create unforgettable memories as you explore this unique ranch in the beauty of Kauai. The ranch is home to over 100 horses, and you’ll have the opportunity to meet some of them up close and personal. You’ll also get a chance to learn about the history of Parker Ranch, which has been in operation since 1847.

Lithified Sand Dunes

Prepare to be captivated by the extraordinary Lithified Sand Dunes of Kauai. These natural dunes, formed over millions of years, have solidified into magnificent sculptures resembling delicate coral reefs. These geologically significant formations are a sight to see. Take a leisurely stroll through these ancient structures and take in the intricate patterns etched into their hardened surfaces. It’s a truly magical and humbling experience that showcases the raw beauty of Kauai.
