travel writer Ray Riegert balances coverage of Kauai’s growing travel
facilities—including the resorts, condos and restaurants around Poipu and
Lihue—with extensive details on the island’s many natural attractions,
adventure activities and still-undiscovered sites. The author’s
combination of traditional travel information and outdoor adventure
details is a perfect blend for this lush island and its many hiking
trails, waterfalls, secluded beaches and pockets of tropical wilderness.
The Hawaiian islands lure millions of vacationers
each year, but the chain as a whole still offers countless unknown areas.
Many of these spots are on islands like Maui and Oahu, but a greater
number of them can be found on less-visited islands like Kauai. Hidden
Kauai is a virtual cornucopia of unspoiled natural attractions, hidden
beaches and little-known getaways.
