    I enjoyed going to the Circle K ranch. I had a wonderful experience.

    What else do you feel like doing, except sleeping and sunbathing?

    I was on Kauai a few years ago and drove around the north coast and went snorkelling. It was great. If you are into Hawaiian culture, there’s a luau on at Wailua Marina State Park. And at the shopping centre, there’s a free hula dancing show, every day I think.

    There are oher things to do? Actually I am taking my family to Kauai in a few weeks. We are staying in the Poipu area. I hope to visit the Waimea Canyon, Napali Coast and perhaps the Limahuli Gardens. If I can convince the rest of the family there I think there is an actual submarine that you can ride on too.

    The last thing you will do is sleep. Go to waimea canyon, take a hike. Go to polihale state beach (long dirt road, awesome beach) bring a cooler. watch the sunset at hanalei bay. Hike to hanakapiai beach. Eat dinner at the beach house restaurant in poipu at sunset. snorkel at tunnels reef. drive to loop road in wailua and swim in the mountain pools. take some surfing lessons. go on a tour of napali coast on a zodiac. go on a helicopter tour. Go kayaking on wailua river. then sleep. any questions?

    Take a boat cruise to see the Na Poli Coast. It’s just so beautiful. We did Captain Andy’s sunset dinner cruise and that was a good one. It included dinner and drinks.

    Go hiking in the Waimea Canyon. There are some very good trails and it is a great view. Hiking was a great way to see it. A helicopter tour is another way to see it and we heard lots of helicopters, especially near the waterfalls.

    Snorkelling or scuba. I actually didn’t snorkel in Kauai, but there are some good places if you like snorkelling.

    There’s also sugar plantations that you can tour, ATV tours, bike tours, luaus, etc. Lots of activities! But do take some time for relaxing and sun bathing. (Don’t forget the sunblock!)

    Definitely take a helicopter ride. The zip line adventure was great too. The island is unbelievably beautiful. Just drive around and explore all it’s beauty
