| Kauai
is Hawaii's Garden Island, renowned
for the enchanting beauty of its cascading emerald mountains, its flower
bedecked streams and its swaying palm fringed shores. Kauai is the most pristine
of the major Hawaiian Islands where the feeling and pace of old Hawaii still
live. Abundant in beaches and where no building is allowed higher than a coco
palm, Kauai offers a unique new adventure and a relaxing respite from the bustle
found elsewhere.

Formed
six million years ago, Kauai encompasses approximately 550 square miles, 32
miles in diameter. The island is diverse and rich both culturally and
geographically, and offers many activities and beautiful sights. Golf,
hiking,
surfing, kayaking, snorkeling, diving, horseback riding, shopping or just
relaxing are all available, and extremely enjoyable in this beautiful place.
With little public transportation, rental cars are recommended, but finding your
way around the island is easy.

| Though
Kauai's climate is tropical, it actually consists of many distinct
microclimates, including sunny dry areas, lush river valleys, temperate
foothills and high mountain rain forests. Most of the year, temperatures on
Kauai range in the 70s, with winter nighttime lows in the 60s. Summers on Kauai
bring daytime temperatures in the mid-80s and nighttime lows in the 70s. Even in
the middle of Kauai's summer, the nearly constant gentle trade winds create a
cool balmy climate instead of the oppressive heat common to other tropical
destinations. |
