aloha poipu.

My parents recently purchased a time share in Poipu, Kauai. I personally believe Kauai is one of the most beautiful of the Hawaiian Islands. There is so much to do and see in Kauai it is almost overwhelming. My family and I decided to hike to the Opaekaa Falls. Two waterfalls near the city of Kapaa. The hike itself its completely doable. However, beware of hiking after serious rainfall. Which is quite common on this island. The island of Kauai has the wettest spot on Earth. While hiking you will discover one fall, which is amazing, but don't stop there. About a mile further into the jungles you will discover the actual Opaekaa Falls. Bring good hiking shoes, and ones you don't care about, you will be covered in Kauai's famous red mud. Also be sure to use bug spray! Another adventure you can take is to the Na Pali Coast. You can only reach here by boat or helicopter, but it is beyond worth it no matter the price. The monstrous cliffs come right up to a small stretch of ivory beach that touches the crystal clear stunning waters of the Pacific Ocean. By boat you will experience the Spinner Dolphins racing you while doing back flips and spins. On a rare occasion you may even see flying fish or seals. Another day trip you can take is to Waimea Canyon. Hawaii's "Grand Canyon". I personally have not had the pleasure of seeing this miraculous place, but hear it is something to be seen. Poipu has many restaurants with in a short drives distance, offering fresh fish and crab. Be sure to snorkel in Poipu! You will witness some of the most colorful fish you have ever seen and may be lucky enough to see a shark or swim with sea turtles! If you are planning a trip to Hawaii, hands down Kauai is the place to go!
