chaoskitty 0 #1 June 3, 2004 Ok I don't mean to brag or anything, but I am going to Kauai for a week (!!!!) on Saturday and doing research on stuff to do there... Anybody been there? I already got some good tips from Geno and GFD (thanx guys!) .. anyone else got any "can't miss" things to do there? I am up for *anything* (well.. anything *not* related to SHARKS!!!!)

Dougiefresh 0 #2 June 3, 2004 Get to the big island, and see the volcano national park. It's a life-changing experience seeing all that lava pour into the ocean. Oh, and jump! I'll bet it's fantastically beautiful from up there. Have fun, it's kinda hard not to.Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. --Douglas Adams Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nightingale 0 #3 June 3, 2004 Ok. 1. Take a Zodiac Raft through the Napali Cliffs. http://gohawaii.about.com/cs/kauaiactivities/a/zodiac_raft.htm http://www.sailing-hawaii.com/ 2. hike the NaPali trail if you have time http://www.hawaii-guide.net/Kauai_Guide/Pages/POI/Trails.htm http://www.hawaii.gov/dlnr/dsp/NaPali/na_pali.htm 3. Go to Gaylord's Sugar Plantation. Its an old historical plantation with a really yummy restaurant. Take the tour, and then have dinner. YUM! http://www.gaylordskauai.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
genoyamamoto 0 #4 June 3, 2004 Did I mention that you should take the helicopter tour of the Napali coast? Anyway, I never got to do that but me thinks it would be great. Hehe bring your rig, you could "fall" out of the heli... Gotta go... plaything needs to spank me Feel the hate... Photos here Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nightingale 0 #5 June 3, 2004 oooh... the helicopter. I'd pick the rafts over the copter, though, if you can only do one. I did both and preferred the rafts, but the copter was fun too! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sunnydee123 0 #7 June 3, 2004 Oh man, I cannot remember what island it was on (wherever cheeseburger in paradise is - Lanai?) but there is a "roadl" (a very small dirt trail that runs along the entire outline of the island). It is a slow drive (few hours), along some BREATHTAKING cliffs (great photo opps) and there are a FEW little places to stop and see along the way - Just really neat and not the normal tourist thing. Have a blast and if at all possible - YOU HAVE TO JUMP THERE. I have friends who took pictures and I can only imagine what it would feel like to be standing at the door for THAT exit. Be safe and bring your sunscreen! Dreams become reality, one choice at a time... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chaoskitty 0 #8 June 3, 2004 QuoteAnd you didn't invite me? I would have paid Yah I did.. I made a general announcement over the manifest mic last weekend.. you must have missed it! Actually I'm going with my mom and dad, and one of my girlfriends who lives in Fort Worth and never have time to hang out with. This trip is on the Daddy-0! (yes, I am spoiled.. but not a brat! ) Dad's birthday is on the 10th and I'm going to try like HELL to get him over to Oahu and make a tandem jump.. and so I can jump too! Hey Kris.. thanks for all those links, girl! I think my mom will really like the catamaran tour of the Na Poli coast. Ok I'm ready for the beach and a mai tai!

Nightingale 0 #10 June 3, 2004 Cheeseburger in Paradise is on Maui, in Lahaina and Wailea, on Oahu in Waikiki, and also in Vegas and Puerto Vallarta. I ate at the one in Lahaina. It was DAMN GOOD! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nightingale 0 #12 June 3, 2004 if your mom would like it, do the zodiac raft trip over the catamaran. the zodiacs are smaller and can actually go INSIDE the sea caves, while the catamaran doesn't fit. The catamaran would be fun too, though, and less bouncy than the zodiac. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kjarv 0 #19 June 3, 2004 Go to the Big Island and go SCUBA Diving with the GIANT Manta Rays (night dive)... The guides plant a bunch of lights in a bay which attract plankton which attract the Manta's--- Those Manta rays are freakin huge! Super cool to see/have a giant sea creature swimming just inches away from you! -kjarv Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
