Beach On Kauai, HawaiiI’ve been to Hawaii but that was before I got into kayaking. So that’s why it’s near the top of my “wish list” of places I want to go back to and take a kayak trip. The scenery is soooo beautiful. I think what makes the views in Hawaii so magnificent is the contrast of colors. The vivid blue ocean, the dark black lava rocks, the greens, reds and yellows of the vegetation. If you haven’t been there, by all means, go!

Probably my favorite island was Kauai. It was small enough to go anywhere within a day and it lived up to it’s billing as the “flower” island, even when we were there in January. Kayaking in the ocean is seasonal due to the winds and waves and other unreliable ocean conditions. The famous Napali coast is surely the most popular ocean-kayaking destination. River kayaking is a year round activity. Kauai has the most rivers of any of the Hawaiian Islands and they are all calm with no rapids. You’ll find places to go on guided tours or trips on your own. I’m sure that kayak rental could be expensive like everything else in Hawaii, but with my inflatable kayak, I’ll be all set.
