Kauai's North Shore Activities
Beaches, caves, and gardens abound. Plan your busy itinerary to include the fine sights of
Kauai's North Shore, the perfect setting for many a movie. Kilauea, a former plantation town, marks the spot for a landmark lighthouse that sits boldly upon a bluff. Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge is a great location to view birds and native plant life, to take a scenic walk, and, if you're lucky, it is a place to spot a few species of dolphins,
whales, seals, and sea turtles.
Golfers enjoy the variety of two challenging golf courses set against an authentic backdrop of pristine beauty in Princeville. North Shore's special crescent-shaped Hanalei Bay offers four distinct beaches. More must-sees include Guava Kai Plantation, Maniniholo Dry Cave, Limahuli Gardens, and Waikapala'e and Waikanaloa Wet Caves. An adventurer's dream is the Kalalau Trail with rewards that include a sense of accomplishment, beaches, and waterfalls to explore. The renown Napali Coast beckons, where scenes from "The Thorn Birds" and other notable movies were filmed.
