1. Na Pali Coast: One of the world's most pristine shorelines, the Na Pali Coast stretches 17 dramatic miles along the Garden Island's North Shore. Comprised of a series of magnificent sea cliffs that drop straight into the crystal blue ocean, this natural wonder is the perfect spot for nature lovers and adventurers. Get your hearts beating a little faster with a challenging hike leading to a lush river valley and cascading waterfalls, enjoy a bird's-eye-view of the rugged beauty from an aerial tour, or get up close and personal with a catamaran tour.

2. Po'ipu Beach: Po'ipu Beach beckons with its soft golden sand, legendary snorkeling, perfect surf breaks, and fascinating wildlife, such as Hawaiian Monk Seals, reef fish, and Kauai's famously endearing feral chickens. As the island's closest resort to Po'ipu Beach, Ko'a Kea Hotel & Resort is just steps from all it has to offer.

The massive coral reef's inner reef is ideal for novice snorkelers, while the outer reef is more suited to advanced snorkelers and divers.
