While traveling to tropical destinations, do not forget the Hawaiian Islands. You will see that paradise is found in these islands, on Oahu, Maui, Kauai, and the Big Island. As Kauai is called the garden island, you should be certain that your Kauai travel is mapped out to enjoy it to its fullest. This will help you avoid restricted areas, and roads not often traveled. These can become muddy during rain storms.

Produce kiosks are strategically placed around the region, with farmers selling their crops, such as bananas, mangos, lemons, papayas, limes and lychee nuts. The villagers are friendly and eager to please the vacationers.

And visit some local restaurants, where you will find the catch of the day. Meals are specially prepared using the local fish, such as MahiMahi, which is also known as dolphin fish, but it is not a dolphin, and the taste is like that of flounder. Ahi is known for its use in sashimi. And Ono, also called Wahoo, is slightly sweet in flavor, the name itself meaning something delicious.

One of the top attractions at this location are the Napali Coast on the northwest coastline. The spectacular views in this remote area will take your breath away. It is green, it is wonderful, and there are many ways to get to this out-of-the-way spot, via air, or water, or trails.

Another popular site is Hanalei Bay, an amazing two-mile long crescent shaped beach with excellent surfing conditions and a green mountain background with astonishing waterfalls. This is a great spot for surfers, of course, but also for honeymooners, families and sun bathers. The peaceful, laid back atmosphere captures the heart here.

Your best bet for your sight seeing adventures would be to travel by car. You can rent one at the Lihui Airport, or for more reasonable rates, you might want to go to the outer towns, like Lihui or Princeville.

And as far as insurance is concerned, the rental offices will try to sell you temporary insurance, but the fact of the matter is that you may already have it in your permanent policy. Check on this, before you purchase insurance that is not needed. You can also expect to pay more for gas than the average prices in the States. The seat-belt law is strictly enforced, and watch for pedestrians as jay-walking is a common practice.

Prominent signs are displayed to let you know of scenic points and visitors attractions, and if it rains, have no worries. There is a beautiful rainbow to follow every time!
