Things to do
Sightseeing near Kauai vacation rentals
It's hard to beat the lush natural landscape of Kauai, but the Limahuli are giving it a good try with their beautiful terraced botanical garden, best experienced along the 1-mile looped trail. History buffs can step back in time at Grove Farm, a former sugar plantation whose main 19th-century house now serves as a museum. When you stay in a Kauai vacation rental, you shouldn't miss the Kauai Hindu Monastery which was bought by monks in the mid-60s. After a full day of sightseeing, swing by Tahiti Nui, an old fashioned tiki bar where the atmosphere is jovial and the menu extensive.
Activities
What to do near Kauai vacation homes
When you're stretched out on the white sand under a swaying palm looking out over the Pacific Ocean, it's hard to think about much else. That said, if you can muster the energy when you stay at a Kauai vacation rental, there's lots to do other than being a beach bum. Paddling along the Wailua River on rented kayaks is popular, as is hiking through Koke'e State Park. Alternatively, you can don a mask and flippers to explore the underwater world, or saddle up to gallop across the beach and up to a hidden waterfall for a dip and picnic.
Weather
Climate for your stay in Kauai vacation homes
The afternoon winter rains in Hawaii don't stop the vacationers nabbing Kauai vacation rentals, in an effort to escape the cold back home. This pushes the prices up, particularly over Christmas and New Year. Likewise, the summer is often busy with families whose kids are on break from school. If you're looking for a little peace and quiet, try to visit in spring or fall. Between April and June or September and November the prices have dipped, the beaches are emptier and the weather wonderfully bright and sunny.
Natural features
Tropical birds and fluking whales in Kauai
If you're a birdwatcher, be sure to pack those binoculars because you're not going to want to miss the sight of more than 80 tropical birds that use the island to nest, many of which are endemic to Kauai. If you forget, fear not. You'll still be able to hear the morning call of songbirds, like melodious laughing thrushes. If birds aren't your thing, look to the ocean where the marine life can't fail to impress. There are few wildlife encounters that match up to snorkeling with sea turtles, or spotting the fin of a blue whale fluking.
Beaches
The beaches in Kauai are one of its biggest draws. Vacation homes are available near places like Tunnels Beach, a low-key beach with picturesque vegetation and shallow reefs for snorkeling, and Anini Beach, a mellow beach with clear, calm waters ideal for young children. You’ll also enjoy Poipu Beach Park, a lively beach with swimming and snorkeling areas.
