The Garden Isle is abuzz with upcoming cultural activities for the family—and you’re invited! Celebrate the versatile coconut in an area home to groves of coconut trees, known as the Coconut Coast. The 18th Annual Coconut Festival takes place October 4-5 at Kapa‘a Beach Park. Graceful stands of coconut trees line the drive along Kuhio Hwy. 56 between Wailua and Kapa‘a. These are the remnants of old-time plantations. See ad for event details. Eo e Emalani i Alaka‘i is an annual event that commemorates a journey undertaken by Queen Emma in 1871.

Enjoy exhibits, craft demonstrations and snack sales from 10 a.m. At noon, you’ll step back in time as a traditional royal procession arrives. Queen Emma and her entourage will enter Kanaloahuluhulu Meadow on horseback accompanied by hula halau (groups) from around the state, who will then perform chants and dances as gifts for the Queen. Celebrate with them in the adventuresome spirit of Emma Naea Rooke presented by Hui o Laka. It’s never too early to begin your holiday shopping!

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. See if you can name any of the favorites pictured. Answers below.

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 II removed the law, thus allowing all to gather 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 or anniversary—with a backyard lu‘au. Food, music and fun are 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 evening. 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. Enjoy a feast of Hawaiian and local fare, spirited performances, 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 Thurs. 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 part of the experience. Also 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.

Koloa Town is the site of the state’s oldest plantation settlement, and where sugar was king in 1835. Glimpse the town’s former plantation history at the Koloa History Center. Open from 9 a.m.-9 p.m. daily, it has exhibits with photos and artifacts from the plantation era. The outside directory illustrates the layout of historical buildings and landmarks. Plaques on each building

tell the story of the businesses and families who once lived there. In addition, visit the more than 20 shops and boutiques, eateries and services that call these buildings home. Koloa Mill Ice Cream & Coffee serves up decadent and delicious mud pie or haupia (coconut) ice cream—accompany it with a brew of Kaua‘i coffee to hit the spot! History buffs might want to read up and follow the 10-mile Koloa Heritage Trail with its 14 stops of

cultural, historical and geological significance. Info: 1-888-744-0888, poipubeach.org. A lovely canopy of trees, locally known as the Tree Tunnel on Highway 520 or Maluhia Road, offers up a fragrant drive. History names a Scottish cattle rancher, Walter Duncan McBryde, as the one who planted 500 fragrant trees along the road more than 150 years ago. Open the window to breathe in the delicious fresh scent and get your camera ready! Map D:B4.

The Garden IsleKaua‘i is geologically the oldest island in the Hawaiian Island chain and may look small on the map, but there is lots to do and see within its 562 square miles. As the eldest island, it’s had the longest exposure to the natural elements of wind and rain. You’ll see evidence of this while standing on the rim of the grand Waimea Canyon (page 60). Catch a boat or take to the air to see the spectacular Napali Coast—you WILL be awestruck (page 62)!

Discover the dramatic scenery of Kaua‘i. Soar over mountains, stroll lush gardens, cruise across the glistening Pacific —you’ll wish you had more time!

be safe!

Explore with fun & safety in mind

Being on vacation on a beautiful island such as Kaua‘i is a natural high. We want to

keep you on that high, plus as safe as possible while on our roads, trails and in the Pacific

Ocean. Here are a few tips:• Never drink and drive,

always buckle up and pay attention to the road.

• Stick to main trails when hiking and don’t attempt to

cross swollen streams.• Heed warning signs on the beach and don’t go out if the

ocean is rough. Talk to the on-duty lifeguard.

Island AirwavesOne of the ways to get to

know the local culture is by listening to local radio.

While on the road, tune into contemporary or traditional Hawaiian music or listen to quick news bites. Hear the latest country music with

hourly AP news updates on 99.9FM; Hawaiian music on 98.9FM; and contemporary

sounds on 98.1FM JAMZ.

The island is also home to lush botanical gardens situated along the coast to higher up along the mountains (page 66). The main focus here is to experience the island at a slower pace. Take your time to meander, sit and listen, gaze...you’ll enjoy your vacation to its fullest and return home reinvigorated.

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 RoadwaysThe Garden Isle doesn’t have a public bus system to access all of its top attractions, so a rental vehicle is your best bet for sightseeing. You call the shots, so take your time exploring the island. 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.

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. Be aware that crossing Hanakapi‘ai Stream is dangerous when it becomes swollen due to recent rain; wait until it subsides to cross. 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 advanced hike, a permit is mandatory, as well as sufficient food, water and shelter. Map G.

did you know?A WILDLIFE REFUGEKilauea is home to more than seven of Hawai‘i’s native seabirds, including the Great Frigate bird, with its nearly eight-foot wingspan.

ENDANGERED NENE (shown right)The Hawaiian goose, or nene, is Hawai‘i’s official state bird that can be seen at Kilauea, at Maui’s Haleakala NP and Big Island’s Hawai‘i Volcanoes NP.

WHALE WATCH SPOTThis is one of Kaua‘i’s best sites for whale watching throughout April. Bring binoculars just in case!

This famous 160-acre coastal refuge sits 200 feet above the ocean on a striking peninsula at Kaua‘i’s northernmost point (Map C:E21). Kilauea Lighthouse and bird sanctuary is one of the most visited in the United States. Although the lighthouse isn’t open to the public, the grounds are, and a self-guided path to the point offers interpretive information. The Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary also has a presence with large interpretive signs about Hawai‘i’s marine mammals and sea turtles. Although a fully automated electronic beacon has replaced the Fresnel lens (once the largest glass

lens of its kind), the 1913 lighthouse still stands intact. 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,

Before the arrival of Captain Cook in the late 1700s, Hanapepe Valley on Kaua‘i’s west side was home to many early Hawaiians. They grew taro and cultivated salt production in saltwater ponds. Some time around the 1880s, the sugar industry began f lourishing in this area. Chinese, Japanese and Filipino immigrants made their home here. Others began small farms to supply the growing community. At the turn of the 19th century, Hanapepe’s population was comprised of predominantly enterprising Asian immigrants. It became a bustling center of commerce during the pre-World War II era and was named “Kaua‘i’s Biggest Little Town” by the Hanapepe Merchants Association. Today, the historic storefronts house numerous fine art galleries, many run by artists with their studios in the back. If you stop by on a Friday night, the town bustles with an Art Fair, beckoning visitors inside galleries and restaurants. Pick up a copy of the Historic Hanapepe Walking Tour map for a self-guided exploration of the significant structures and locations in town, many with a colorful past. The historic buildings and quaint character of the town have also lured many filmmakers to use this location; some of the more notable ones include the TV mini-series, “The Thorn Birds,” and the animated tale “Lilo and Stitch.”

When playing from a greenside bunker, keep in mind that loft is your friend, so don’t be afraid of incorporating a “Lob Wedge” (60 degree) into your bag. The added loft makes it easier to gain lift as you accelerate through the sand at impact using the bounce of the wedge. Remember, it’s the sand that moves the ball

out of the bunker, so be aggressive!Matt Torry PGAHead Golf Professional, Kiahuna Golf Club

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.

To get a glimpse of Hanalei before entering the little town, travel past Princeville and you’ll notice that the mile markers on Highway 56 revert back to 0. Stop at the gas station nearby (the last one on the north shore) and across the street is the Hanalei Lookout. The views from the lookout are beautiful with Hanalei Valley stretched out before you looking like a green patchwork quilt, lush and geometrical. The neat sections of wetland contain the semi-submerged taro fields that have been worked by generations of Hawaiian farmers. Running down the center of the fields is the Hanalei River (one of 14 American heritage rivers), with its origins in the rainfall from Mt. Wai‘ale‘ale, in the approximate center of the island. Kayakers often navigate the peaceful river. The quaint one-lane Hanalei Bridge is the veritable doorway to the town. You’ll find an assortment of boutiques, restaurants and art galleries. Hanalei Bay is rimmed by nearly two miles of white sandy beach. While swimming conditions in the bay can be hazardous, the off-shore area is popular with surfers. Hanalei Pier (shown above), made famous in the movie “South Pacific,” stretches out into the bay. Take a twilight stroll and bask in the colors of a magical sunset.

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


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.
