Kauai Country Inn

Most of the island’s attractions are close by: Just 5 minutes away from the Inn are the Opaeka’a Waterfalls and the Wailua River, where the Smith’s Tour Boats will take you to the famed “Fern Grotto”, used as a location in Elvis’s “Blue Hawaii” movie. Kapaa town, less then 10 minutes away from us, is the biggest "city" on Kauai and offers the most variety in restaurants and shops. The Wailua Golf Course is just south of Kapaa and offers an 18 hole course with quite reasonable green fees.

Our central location offers quick access to the scenic sugar country of the south shore, or the taro fields of the northern coast.

Drive 30-45 minutes north of Kapaa and you will get to Kauai’s famed North Shore and the towns of Princeville and Hanalei. More beautiful beaches await you. Check out Hanalei Bay, a 2 mile white sand beach famed for its winter surf and make sure to drive all the way to the end of the road, where Ke’e Beach, one of the best snorkel beaches in the State of Hawaii, awaits you.

On your way back, stop at the Kilauea Lighthouse and learn it's rich Island history and don't miss the bird sanctuary surrounding it.

In the other direction, a 30-45 minute drive south will take you to famed Poipu Beach, the “Spouting Horn” and "Shipwreck Beach". Or carry on around the Island and check out Waimea town where time seems to be standing still. This is where Captain Cook first set foot on the island. Don't forget to check out the Russian Fort just outside Waimea town.

Another 30 minutes drive will take you high into the mountains to gaze upon the Waimea Canyon, affectionately named the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific” by Mark Twain. Don't miss the Kalalau Lookout while you're up there – this will give you your closest view of the Na Pali coastline, a panoramic view of Kauai’s North Shore, unless you want to get 'up close and personal' and take a 3 day / 11 mile hike or go by boat or helicopter.
