aptain Chris of Na Pali Riders has the only raft company consistently touring
the ENTIRE 17 miles of the Na Pali Coast.* Captain Chris says, “Touring the Na Pali Coast truly is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We make sure that our passengers get to see it all including the famous sites of Hanakoa Valley, Hanakapi‘ai Valley, the Pi-rates Sea Cave, and the Double Door Cave. These are some of the most significant attractions on the Na Pali Coast and should not be missed.”
The Na Pali Riders’ difference starts with attention to detail in all aspects of our Na Pali Coast Raft Tour. We offer a ride on our state-of-the-art 30-foot, 920 Zodiac raft.
Departures are from the West Side’s Kikiaola Harbor in Waimea, the closest harbor to the Na Pali Coast. Snorkeling takes place at one of three different locations depending on currents, water clarity and conditions per-mitting. All beginning snorkelers have our experienced and knowledgeable crewmen as their personal guides.
The Na Pali Riders difference is unbelievable. We are the only ones to guarantee satisfaction or you can go again FREE. Call direct (808) 742-6331 for reservations. We also provide discounts for Military, Kama’aina and Groups.

Kaua‘i is bound by the waters of the Pacific, which can welcome beachgoers with a shimmery surface that belies a strong undercurrent. Always play it safe by swimming at a lifeguarded beach and heeding any posted warning signs. If you’re not sure about ocean conditions, check with the lifeguard. If you happen to get caught in a rip current and feel yourself being swept away from shore, safety experts advise people to conserve your energy, keep calm, f loat and wave for help—don’t fight the current, f loat with it. Escape it by swimming parallel to the shoreline once you feel the current has released its hold on you. Wave for help.

More fish choicesAhi Tuna, Yellowfin/Bigeye Tuna
Considered one of Hawai‘i’s most popular choices, ahi is served raw as sliced sashimi or cooked rare.
Ono, Wahoo
A distinctive, yet delicate, tangy-citrus flavor simillar to poultry or veal. Chewy and firm texture.
Mahimahi, Dolphin Fish
Mahimahi is for the finicky fish eater. It has a mellow, lemony, sweet-rich flavor with a silky, yet flaky, tender texture.
Eat fresh fish
Enjoy fresh cuts of isle fish in sushi rolls, fresh sashimi, in a poke dish, as ceviche or in a seafood chowder. Ono! Delicious!
Choosing the right fish from the menu is like selecting fine wine—each has its own taste, aroma and texture. People eat twice as much seafood in Hawai‘i as the U.S. per capita national average. What does that mean to you? Every restaurant has fresh fish on the menu with a not-so-familiar Hawaiian name. Use this guide to find the fish that has the qualities you enjoy the most.
fresh fish anyone?
OnagaLong-Tail Red Snapper: Soft and moist with a delicate f lavor, onaga can be baked, steamed or sauteed.
OpakapakaPink Snapper: This delicately f lavored fish has a tender texture perfectly suited for baking, poaching and sauteing.
ShutomeSwordfish: This fish is tasty without any seasoning. It has a delicate, slightly fruity f lavor and a subtle aroma. Texture is succulent and meaty.
OpahMoonfish: Popular with chefs, opah has a juicy, rich f lavor with a roast pork-like aroma. Texture is very tender.

In a paradise such as the Hawaiian Islands, an innovative vision was conceived by a group of culinary masters. Born in 1991, a core group of 12 founding chefs experimented with food concepts and developed what is now recognized worldwide as Hawai‘i Regional Cuisine. This culinary genre was developed and refined through the alchemy of Hawai‘i’s top creative chefs, who combined Eastern and Western culinary traditions to create unique, Pacific-inspired dishes. This distinct cooking style, with a farm-to-table philosophy, incorporates locally grown ingredients and f lavors ranging from fresh fruits and vegetables to many different types of meat and seafood varieties. As one of 12 original pioneers of HRC, Peter Merriman
continues to offer the best with two restaurants focusing on a farm-to-table philosophy. At Merriman’s Fish House, you might want to try the Wok Charred Ahi and Crispy Day Boat Mahimahi, both Merriman’s signature dishes. Yearning for earthy, locally grown and organic? Head to Merriman’s Gourmet Pizza & Burgers. You’ll find organic salads, fresh fish, burgers made with locally raised, grass-fed cattle and 100 percent whole wheat gourmet pizzas.
Award-winning Red Salt will win you over with its ocean views and inventive cuisine that incorporate fresh fish daily such as the signature Red Salt poke and 14-ounce Wagyu New York steak. Salads, lamb, chicken and vegetarian entrees also available.

The bountiful food and lively Polynesian performances of today’s lu‘au has its roots in ancient Hawai‘i. The kapu system once forbade men and women from eating together, but in 1819, King Kamehameha I removed the law, hence allowing all to come together to enjoy their meals—this was the beginning of the lu‘au. Today, a few local families celebrate a special occasion—baby’s first birthday, graduation, anniversary or wedding—with a backyard lu‘au. Food, music and fun are casually enjoyed by all, and even if you’re not related by blood to the host family, you will be considered family by the end of the festivities. That is the spirit of the lu‘au, and in general, the spirit of the Hawaiian people. It’s your turn to become part of an extended family. Every lu‘au has its own distinct feature separating it from the others, but all provide a feast of Hawaiian and local fare, spirited performances,
fun audience participation and lots of laughter. A lei and live Hawaiian music greet guests upon arrival at ‘Auli‘i Lu‘au. Visit with artisans exhibiting their works before the sway of the hula and graceful hands beckon all to enjoy top notch hula and Polynesian performances and a Hawaiian banquet. Shows are 5:30 p.m. every Mon. and Wed. The Smith Family Garden Luau provides guests with a multi-generational lu‘au experience in a 30-acre lush garden setting within the Wailua River valley. An imu ceremony, authentic isle feast and international dance performances are all part of the experience. Go early to explore the garden or take a narrated tram tour.

island jewelry
Gems unique to the islands are all quality made and painstakingly crafted to ref lect the true beauty and traditions of its heritage. The neighboring ‘‘Forbidden Isle’’ of Ni‘ihau is the source of Ni‘ihau shells. Legally, these shells can only be called ‘‘Ni‘ihau’’ if they are collected from the shores of said island. Tiny and delicate, the shells generally fall into three categories: kahelani, momi, laiki, as well as kamoa, a shell in a contrasting color. Authentic Ni‘ihau shell lei are carefully strung together by hand by artisans, who are experts in this art. The value of each lei is determined by the availability of the shells used. The price of a Ni‘ihau shell lei is directly related to its quality. Situated at the junction of two highways, the family-owned and operated Old Hawaiian Trading Post carries a wide selection of
quality gifts and souvenirs, but Ni‘ihau shell lei and Tahitian black pearl jewelry handpicked in Tahiti are their specialty. Browse through their collection for quality gifts for special ones back home. In 1887, Queen Kapi‘olani and Princess Lili‘uokalani attended Queen Victoria’s Jubilee in England. At that time, they received solid gold bracelets with their names etched in Old English lettering filled with black enamel. When the royal pair returned to Hawai‘i, they gave similar bracelets to other members of the royal family. This is the start of Hawaiian heirloom jewelry. Robert’s Jewelry has helped to continue this Hawaiian tradition for more than 65 years. Select from 14kt gold or sterling silver bracelets, rings, earrings and pendants handcrafted with traditional to contemporary designs. Your forever gift will be a treasure passed from one generation to the next.

you feel like taking a dip. Be aware of ocean conditions before venturing into Hawai‘i’s waters. They’re different from your hometown beach, so take precautions. Heed any posted warning signs and check with lifeguards about ocean conditions. Remember, “If you’re in doubt, don’t go out!” Check out our beach guide on page 82.
Adrenaline Junkies!Let your inner thrillseeker loose with high-f lying adventures via an amazing helicopter f light above the lush Garden Isle or while zipping across the tree canopy. Let go of your inhibitions and f ly! If you’re afraid of heights, then perhaps a horseback or ATV ride might be more to your liking. However, don’t discount your inner strength on a whim. Challenge yourself. The views are so worth it! Turn the pages for more ways to really experience the best of Kaua‘i.
CRUISINGThe RoadwaysKaua‘i’s two-lane roads are made for a leisurely cruise. There’s no need to hurry. Instead of rushing to make it somewhere on time, just plan a day to pick up a picnic lunch, pack the beach chairs and cooler in the trunk, and drive. Remember, you’re on vacation, so make the journey the joy, and not just the destination.
ISLE SIGHTSBy BusLeave the driving and parking woes to a professional and opt for a Roberts Hawaii bus tour to either Waimea Canyon or Waimea Canyon & Fern Grotto. Take in the beauty of Waimea Canyon’s chasms, then enjoy a boat ride up Wailua River to the uniquely beautiful Fern Grotto.

Aviation history credits the Kilauea Lighthouse with preventing a tragedy on the first trans-Pacific f light in 1927 by reorienting the two pilots of the Bird of Paradise. The lighthouse was retired from service in 1970, and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. In 1985, Kilauea Point and its lighthouse became part of the Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge. The refuge is open 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday, and is closed on major federal holidays. To get there, turn off Highway 53 near mile marker 23, then take Kolo Road to Kilauea Road. Admission: Adults $5; kids 16 and under free. 808-828-1413,

The river’s journey begins on the slopes of Mount Wai‘ale‘ale, a dormant crater that stands as a testament to the
fiery beginnings of Kaua‘i’s eden-like beauty. At 5,243 feet, Wai‘ale‘ale (Hawaiian for “rippling waters”) is considered one of the rainiest spots on earth. Its height, conical shape and position in the island chain create the trifecta of weather conditions for abundant rainfall. From the summit, the river travels nearly 10 miles down the southeast face emptying out its liquid cargo in two popular and easily accessible waterfalls: the 80-foot Wailua Falls
and Opaeka‘a Falls (Map G:N10). “Opaeka‘a” means “rolling shrimp,” many of which were once plentiful in the stream. But the journey doesn’t end there. The winding f low of water makes its way along 11 miles of thick, verdant foliage. Its lushness is attributed to the river’s tendency to overf low its banks depositing nutrient-rich sediments along the river’s edge. Rich soil, coupled with the ancient Hawaiian’s acumen for horticulture, made the region a natural breadbasket. Tributaries carry the river inland allowing for the construction of fishponds. And while shallow waters restrict travel by larger boats, kayaks are an excellent way to explore off-river areas. Shift into low gear with a lazy boat ride on Wailua River with Smith’s Fern Grotto Cruise. Started in 1946 by Walter Smith, Sr. and his wife, the family business continues four generations later. Hear the songs and stories of ancient Hawai‘i, and get a hula lesson too. Once at the landing, enjoy a short nature walk through a rainforest to the lush Fern Grotto.

Once you see the Napali Coast, it will forever remain in your memory as one of the most beautiful spots on Earth.
The serrated-edged cliffs reach for the sky and abruptly fall into the ocean. Beautiful waterfalls and swift f lowing streams continue to carve out these rugged valleys and shape the shorelines. The ancient Hawaiian people favored these shores because of their easy access to typically “hard-to-catch” ocean delicacies.Extensive stone foundations and walls remain on the valley f loors, remnants of once thriving Hawaiian settlements. Ke‘e Beach is the furthest point for all vehicles. To the east is Ha‘ena Beach Park with sheltered picnic tables. To the
west of Ke‘e Beach is the widely known Kalalau Trail, one of the world’s premier hikes. The first two miles of the trail open to all is a popular day hike. It stretches from Ha‘ena State Park to Hanakapi‘ai Beach, offering people just a sample of what lies beyond. The 11-mile Kalalau Trail provides the only land access into this part of the island. Traversing five valleys and skirting imposing cliffs with incredible views, it ends at Kalalau Beach. An earlier foot trail created by the ancient Hawaiian people who lived in this area linked their settlements along the coastline. The current Kalalau Trail, built in the late 1800s, loosely follows this path. To tackle this intermediate to advanced hike, a permit is mandatory, as well as sufficient food, water and shelter.

If you’ve never kayaked before, ease into the experience on the “Class Zero” Wailua River via two family-owned and operated outfitters, Ali‘i Kayaks and Kayak Wailua. Wailua River is a nice location for all experience levels, and the best place for families and beginners. In addition, both companies include an added hike to their kayak itinerary.

mask and fins. Also save with combo deals! Nukumoi Surf Co. located at Po‘ipu Beach is ready to get you out in the water with surfboards, SUP boards, body boards, snorkel gear and beach rentals. They also offer daily surf lessons for all ages, all levels at Po‘ipu Beach via Kaua‘i Surf School.
Go Whale Watching! You’ve arrived just in time to visit with Hawai‘i’s annual visitors—the humpback whale. If you have never seen them in their element, then make your reservations now. If you have, it’s just
never enough! Since departing their Alaskan feeding grounds throughout October and November, the humpback whales have made the 3,500-mile journey to Hawai‘i without feeding. In fact, they won’t feed until they return home to Alaska. Talk about fasting! Alaskan waters are cold enough to support the whales’ food—krill—while
Hawai‘i waters are too warm, so their stay here is a time to mate, as well as nurture and care for their young, On a whale watch tour, you’ll learn all the fascinating facts about humpback whales, including behaviors such as spy hopping and breaching. And although there are state and federal laws that protect the whales from boats that venture too close, the whales just might surprise you by getting closer to check you out!

ANINI BEACH PARKThis beach is protected by a long fringing reef and is among one of the best swimming beaches on the north shore. Great for families. Also good for snorkeling. Picnic areas, restrooms, showers. Map C:D16.
The beautiful beaches and sparkling ocean that surround Kaua‘i are wonderful vacation playgrounds. But before heading out to play, talk to your concierge or an activity provider about specific beach features, its surrounding waters and potential, invisible rip currents. For your safety, community volunteers have installed Rescue Tubes, 10 foot high tubes with personal flotation devices used to stabilize a distressed swimmer. If you see one at the beach, be sure to read about their usage.
SALT POND BEACH PARKThis west side beach got its
name from the folks who still use the beach’s salt ponds to
make Hawaiian salt. A partially protected reef provide good
swimming conditions year-round, tidepools, sunset views. Lifeguard
on duty. Map D:C20.
LYDGATE STATE PARKOnce a place of refuge in ancient Hawai‘i, it’s now a good place for picnickers. Excellent swimming area for kids, picnic area and a community playground in the Lihu‘e/Kalapaki region. Lifeguard on duty. Map B:D18.
HANALEI BAY BEACH PARKEnjoy spectacular vistas and great
swimming conditions. The view from here was made famous in

One of the best places to discover local f lavor, in more ways than one, is at a farmers market. Locally known as Sunshine Markets on Kaua‘i, these markets are a must-visit to see and learn about
a variety of unique organic produce and vibrant tropical f lowers. Talk with local farmers and get to know the person behind the product; it’s a great way to immerse yourself in the local culture.
You’re also supporting local farmers—Mahalo!

THIS WEEK KAUAI THIS WEEK KAUAI
I mean you, Bubba,& Li’l Bubba too––
Does your snorkel flop? Does water splash in and douse your breather? Does your swivel leak or crunch sand? Is that your kid whining over snuks & womb implosion trauma? Well, look at this: The Bubba snorkels (pat pending) drain splash water, block backwash and clear easy as ptuey! Salt-watered sinuses burn. The Ultima Bubba™, for 100-pounders or better, breathes free, clears easy and stays dry.
Kids gag on adult snorkels or junk kid snorkels with collapsible mouthpieces. The Li’l Bubba™ is the first dry snorkel in small format EVER. With a short stroke and narrow bore in proportion to smaller lungs, the Li’l Bubba™ lets your junior barracuda breathe easy, happy as a meadowlark in springtime.
The Bubba s n o r k e l s are simply the best dry snorkels on the market today.
FREE BUBBA (Li’l or Ultima) for use with gear for the week!
All Islands 8-5 Every DayKapaa 823-9433 • Koloa 742-2206
No snuks, leaks, or pond scum in the gear wash.
