Kauai is a place for active bed and breakfast visitors who love the outdoors. Kauai has a law that prohibits construction of a building taller than a coconut tree. Hence, the buildings here frame the natural beauty of the landscape rather than detracting from it. Since Kauai is the oldest island in the chain, the bed and breakfast beachgoer has more sandy beaches to choose from than the other islands of Hawaii. You can participate in water activities galore, including; snorkeling, scuba diving, or even showering in a waterfall. Don’t forget to also take the time to grab your cocktail and relax, as you watch the sun set into the Pacific from the lanai of your bed and breakfast suite. This relaxed pace of life is Kauai's biggest attraction for the bed and breakfast visitor. Kauai has many miles of trails along ocean cliffs and through rainforests, perfect for the bed and breakfast outdoor enthusiast who enjoys biking, hiking, or horseback riding. Kayak lovers are intrigued by the countless navigable rivers, which are conveniently accessible near your bed and breakfast getaway. Golfing is another great option, as you'll find world-class courses to small, local, courses where you might encounter chickens roaming the green. Your Kauai bed and breakfast innkeepers can set you up at the appropriate course for your level of play.

If you're looking for scenic landscapes that make for great photo opportunities, Opaekaa Falls, Na Aina Kai Botanical Gardens, Waimea Canyon, the Grand Canyon of the Pacific and Hanalei National Wildlife Refuge, will please any bed and breakfast shutterbug.

Hawaiian beliefs were deeply rooted in nature and much of Kauai is considered to be sacred ground. For a better understanding of ancient Hawaii, consider a riverboat tour of the Waimea River area where there are archaeological remains of sacred ceremonial places. The Kauai Museum houses art and artifacts of Native Hawaiians. Pick up a memento of authentic Hawaiian artistry to remind you of your delightful Kauai bed and breakfast experience. Hanapepe is an old plantation town founded by Chinese immigrants. Take a walk across the suspended wooden footbridge if you're feeling daring. The Kilauea Lighthouse is the most northern point of the Hawaiian Islands, and for many years guided ships to and from the Orient. The vista is spectacular and you might even see some whales. It is surrounded by the Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge, which devotes itself to preserving and enhancing seabird nesting colonies.

If you get tired of driving, you can turn to the crystal clear Kauai water. Set sail or hop on a powerboat, as charters are available that stop at the island of Niihau where you can snorkel. Helicopter tours offer an excellent overhead view of Kauai's hardest to reach places. Fishing charters provide both relaxation and excitement. Whale watching charters are always fun, not only for the hunt, but especially when you feel the spray from the blowhole. Ask your bed and breakfast innkeepers for a recommendation of purveyors who best suit your price range and interest.

By now, you've realized that you'll need to book a return bed and breakfast escape at LanierBB.com to catch up on the things you weren't able to do on your first B&B visit.
