July 9th, 2009 A little bit about Kauai
Kauai is a beautiful island located in Hawaii. It is also the oldest island of the main Hawaiian Islands. It is also the fourth biggest island in the main chain of islands. It is referred to as the Garden Isle because of how beautiful it is. Doesn’t a week here checking out the beautiful blue water pretty much sound like the best thing ever? I know I could use a vacation on the beach, with nothing to do but stare at the Ocean.
In Kauai, travel is the number one industry. Most of the visitors come from the United States or Japan.
Kauai hotels are where most people who live on the island find their employment. Kauai tends to be a fairly stable economy, with unemployment rates lower than the rest of the country because the tourism is their most vital industry.
Kauai offers a lot of options for eco-tourism. Ecotourism is making sure not to harm the environment while we travel. And is there really a more beautiful place to preserve than the beautiful Hawaiian Islands?
Snorkeling is one of the top tourist activities to do in Kauai. As it is to visit the Na Pali Coast. The Na Pali Coast State Park is something that stretches across 6,175 acres of land in Kauai. It is located in the center on the Northwest side of Kauai. You cannot get to the Na Pali coast by car. It is only accessible by hiking or boating. But only if boating in a small boat, like a kayak. Hikers love to come out and see the famous cliffs. Others, who cannot hike or boat in the area can enjoy it via a helicopter ride.
Although, helicopter rides are not for those that get easily queasy. They can be quite difficult to sit through if you go for one that lasts a long period of time.
