Combine Luxury And Relaxation For The Perfect Vacation

By Dean Prater


Kauai is probably one of the most underrated holiday spots in the country. Significantly less developed when compared to the neighboring Oahu and Maui, Kauai is an unspoilt hidden treasure. Even with its small size, the island delivers a wide array of landscapes. The destination has pristine shorelines, high rising cliffs, museums with intriguing artifacts and its own blend of superb food, music and hula. Apart from spectacular waterfalls, mountains, gardens and museums, this island also offers some special adventures for tourists. These include:

A Tour of Blair Estate

Cigars and Coffee, much like wine, are things to be savored. At Kapaa, Kauai it is possible to take a tour of Blair Estate and learn all about the techniques, which eventually result in your favorite coffee or cigar. The lush estate is spread over 5 acres, that features two acres of tobacco and three acres of coffee plantations. As per an article in the Star Advertiser, the estate just recently celebrated its 10th anniversary. Right here guests get a special opportunity to look into everything, right from the tending of coffee and tobacco plants to the manufacturing of the final products.

The guided tour provides a walk through the organic farms by which guests are presented details about harvesting coffee and operations of pulping, drying, fermenting, classifying and roasting coffee. Cigar aficionados will love the second part of the tour by which visitors are offered details about harvesting tobacco and just how leaves in various parts of the tobacco plant are used for different reasons in a cigar. Overall the tour is recommended for coffee and cigar enthusiasts.

Helicopter Ride over Kauai Region

Should you be in an adventurous mood, you'll be able to take a helicopter ride for a bird's eye view of this gorgeous region. A significant part of the varied landscape of this area is inaccessible and so the only way to see these areas is thru a helicopter. The ride gives a close view of spectacular canyons, waterfalls, valleys, mountains, beaches and forests of the region. The typical highlights of many Kauai helicopter tours, that last for approximately one hour, include things like the famous Jurassic Park Falls, the Waimea Canyon, the Hanapepe Valley, the Menehune Fish Pond, the Hanalei Valley, the Wailua Falls, Mt. Waialeale, the Na Pali Coast and Nawlliwili Harbour. Some companies also offer doors off helicopter tours, that not merely present breathtaking views, but also enable you to take some fantastic photos. A helicopter ride over Kauai is undoubtedly an experience you aren't likely to forget.

The island of Kauai also provides some excellent lodging choices, which is necessary for an enjoyable holiday. If you are looking for a magnificent and relaxing place to stay with your family, you can opt for a bluegreen vacation at Pono Kai Resort. The banana, papaya and palm trees, lush vegetable and herb gardens, and Japanese gardens at the resort immediately takes you to a tropical paradise. You can take it easy by the pool, take a walk on the pristine sands or soak yourselves in the aqua waters of the sea only a few steps outside the resort.
