| | Family Fun: The traditions of the many cultures that make up life on Kauai center around ohana (family). Here, children are not only welcomed; they're celebrated. This unique corner of the tropics is a virtual playground for children. Family-oriented accommodations, activities and restaurants make family trips safe, easy, fun and economical. The Kauai Children's Discovery Museum in Kapaa isn't just for children. Interactive exhibits, virtual reality games, and hands-on science and art activities will delight adults as well. On Saturdays, the Starlight Planetarium Program tells how the Polynesian voyagers used the stars, winds and ocean to navigate their canoes across the Pacific. Most of the major resorts on Kauai have programs for kids that include fun, educational activities like Hawaiian crafts and cultural activities, fishing, beach games, nature walks, surfing lessons, sand sculpture contests, coconut frond weaving, tide pool explorations, tours of historic sites, and fieldtrips led by local naturalists and other experts.

Helicopter flight-seeing tours are available from Lihue, Port Allen and Princeville. By land, by sea, or by air, Kauai is a refreshing fantasy full of adventure and discovery.
Golf: Like the Hollywood filmmakers who shoot here, golfers go on location to Kauai for the spectacular scenic backdrops. Of course, they also enjoy a good challenge. Here, the courses are crafted by nature and helped along by some of the game's most talented architects. The views could be considered an obstacle, as your mind may wander onto seaside cliffs, into forested hills, or smack-dab into the ocean. Just don't let your ball do the same. Each of Kauai's courses has its own definition of “breathtaking” and there's always one nearby no matter where you stay. Whichever one you choose, you can count on breathtaking views and demanding play hole after hole.
