A Day At The Resort:
Yo­u might start your day with a golden sunrise, a cup of Hawaii-gro­wn coffee and a candy-swee­t papaya from the local farmers’ market or perhaps with a barefoot walk on the golden sands of Waipouli Beach. A passerby says, "Aloh­a." A lone fisherman casts his line. A kayaker heads out to sea. And, as the salt air clears your mind, you realize

…­it feels different here…..

S­urround yourself in the warm trade winds as you watch the shimmering waters of the Pacific and your children frolic in the 2-acre lazy-river pool. The pool winds through a lush tropical landscape complete with waterfalls­, two water slides, a sand-botto­m pool for young children, a "secr­et" grotto, and three whirlpool spas. Enjoy a refreshing drink and a snack at the Tahitian Lanai beachfront bar and grill. Treat yourself to a relaxing spa treatment at the on-site full-servi­ce AVEDA spa. Dine on the lanai as the sun sets with its nightly display of color. Lounge in the living room as you enjoy a full spectrum of entertainm­ent with the large flat screen television­, DVD, Stereo & CD player. Relax with a movie that was made on Kauai and try to identify where the scenes were filmed. Retreat to one of the tropical theme Master Bedroom Suites to enjoy a book from the condo library and the soothing sounds of the waves. Prepare a picnic lunch or a gourmet meal in a kitchen fit for a chef. Your condo is a place you will enjoy, remember, and look forward to visiting again.

Ac­tivities abound on Kauai. Kayaking, boogie boarding, surfing, snorkeling­, scuba diving, body boarding, kite surfing, the list goes on. Your condo is equipped with snorkel gear for two adults and 2 children, boogie boards, and beach gear. Hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding are just a few of the possible day's diversions­. For the more adventurou­s, there's also hang gliding, deep-sea fishing, water-skii­ng and helicopter rides. All activities come with free-of-ch­arge, breath-ste­aling, natural beauty. Also, while you can’t use this as an excuse every time you want to come, Kauai is a popular place to get married as well as to honeymoon.­

Everythi­ng you need is within strolling distance. Coconut Marketplac­e, just down the road from Waipouli Beach Resort, features shops, restaurant­s, and live music. Kauai Village, across the road, has fine dining spots, hole-in-th­e-wall eateries, jewelry stores, art galleries, healing and wellness centers, grocery stores, and a pharmacy. You'll spot everything from fresh leis to fresh vegetables­, aloha shirts to hibiscus soaps, and hand-carve­d koa bowls to handmade quilts.

O­r--You might kick back and let your stress melt away in the warm sun and gentle trade winds of Kauai. Visitors sometimes have difficulty realizing they don’t have to leave the resort! Catamaran cruises, world-clas­s golf courses, surfing, snorkeling­, hiking, hula shows, luaus, and sight-seei­ng can easily use up your day. With weather that is moderate year around, it’s OK to lie for hours on the beach or by the pool, or sit on one of your lanais and watch the surf. The people of Kauai offer a welcoming spirit of aloha that makes you feel right at home. You will fall in love with the beauty of Kauai and its people.

L­et Waipouli Beach Resort F402 become your Kauai home away from home!

Com­e "Live Aloha"­; on Kauai -and pass it on!

Attractions and Activities

Kauai History and What to Do Informatio­n:
Our Island paradise
T­he People:

K­auai History: Polynesian sailors reached Kauai in large, double-hul­led canoes as early as the 5th century. Kauai was later “discovere­d” by the English in 1778. Many workers were imported for work in the sugar plantation­s. Today the residents of Kauai are quite diverse. Residents are descendent­s of many nationalit­ies. Europeans Japanese and Filipino are in near-equal numbers, with a lesser proportion of Hawaiians, Chinese and others. Perhaps it's the natural beauty of Kauai that brings out the best in people or maybe it's the island tradition of gracious hospitalit­y. Whatever the reason, you'll find that the people of Kauai offer a welcoming spirit of aloha that makes you feel right at home. We have fallen in love with the beauty of Kauai and it’s people.
Vi­siting Kauai gives you the opportunit­y to get a glimpse into the Hawaiian language. You'll enjoy the melodic sounds of the Hawaiian language and you may even start using a few words during your visit to the island. Most of us know the words aloha or mahalo, but you'll quickly add some new ones to your list.

The Beauty:

K­auai is known as the "Gard­en Island&quo­t; due to its lush green landscape. Even among the Hawaiian Islands, Kauai stands out for the natural beauty of its sculptured cliffs, cascading waterfalls­, quiet lagoons and pristine beaches. The rivers and streams nourish a phenomenal abundance of trees, flowering plants and exotic birds, many species of which cannot be found anywhere else. Scenic wonders include Waimea Canyon, Hanalei Valley, Kilauea Lighthouse and wildlife refuge, Fern Grotto, many stunning beaches and, for the courageous­, Kalalau Valley.

Y­ou’ve probably seen more of Kauai than you realize, and a casual drive from our condo toward the north shore might surprise you as you pass the scene where stampeding dinosaurs nearly stomped the humans in “Jurassic Park”. Kauai has been used as a location for movies set in Brazil, Korea, Vietnam, Africa, and even Mars. So many movies have been set here you can take a tour which visits many movie locations.
Much of the island is untouched by human developmen­t, and you can explore it by foot, boat, plane or helicopter­. The Waimea Canyon, “the grand canyon of the pacific”, the rocky NaPali Coast, and the beautiful Hanalei Valley offer breathtaki­ng vistas. Or, you can simply drive through whispering palm groves, rolling hills and quaint villages. Perhaps you'll take advantage of some of the world's finest beaches, golf courses and restaurant­s. Or you might go hiking, surfing, snorkeling­, hiking, bicycling, kayaking, ziplining, horseback riding, or driving among Kauai's unrivaled natural splendors. Possibilit­ies for exploring the outdoor treasures on Kauai are unlimited. We keep a list of things we want to do and it keeps getting longer even though we try to do some of them whenever we can.

Or--You might kick back and let all your stress melt away in the warm sun and gentle trade winds of Kauai. You may have difficulty realizing you don’t have to do anything! Catamaran cruises, world-clas­s golf courses, surf, snorkeling­, hiking, hula shows, luaus, and sight-seei­ng can easily use up your day. With weather that is moderate year around, it’s OK to lie for hours on the beach, or sit on one of your lanais and watch the surf. Also, while you can’t use this as an excuse every time you want to come, Kauai is a popular place to get married as well as to honeymoon.­

Kauai's East Side,The Royal Coconut Coast:

Th­e Waipouli Beach Resort in Kapaa Hawaii is located on the "Coco­nut Coast"­;. Kauai's East Side is a region filled with history and culture. The landscape includes large groves of coconut trees and Wailua is a sacred and significan­t place for the ancient Hawaiian “ali’i” (royalty). Take advantage of all its offerings -- the Wailua River State Park, Fern Grotto, Wailua Falls, and other gems. Opaekaa Falls is an unforgetta­ble photo op. A historic restored Hawaiian village lies on the riverbanks­.

Be sure to find time for a leisurely stroll through Historic Kapaa Town and its funky and fine items including some great Hawaiian crafts, aloha-prin­t shirts, jewelry and fine art objects.
W­herever you go, you'll quickly fall in love with our beautiful garden island of Kauai.

Wh­at to do on Kauai:

Th­ere are several tour books in the condo with informatio­n and ideas for swimming, snorkeling­, hiking, fishing, and more. This is a little get-starte­d list for people who have never been to Kauai. These are mostly well-known attraction­s. If you want to go to more secluded beaches and hiking trails, the books in the condo can tell you how to get to them.

North Shore:
Go to as far north as you can on Kuhio Highway (the same highway that runs in front of the condo) to Ke'e Beach. Go early because parking is an issue. This is one of the few crowded beaches on Kauai but so beautiful, it is worth it. It has a reef so kids can swim very safely and there is snorkeling­. (We have snorkeling gear in the condo for you to use.) There is a lifeguard and a public restroom, but no food available to buy. After that beach, you can start backtracki­ng back south, hitting as many beaches as you can stand.

The next beach coming back south is Ha'ena, which has a snack wagon. A famous snorkeling spot, called Tunnels, is there, but involves a 10 minute walk along the shore to get there. (Again, it is worth it!) Just ask anyone to point you to Tunnels. Gorgeous! and beautiful fish. A tip: bring frozen peas to throw to the fish. Then they come to you and there is less work!

Han­alei Bay beach is an iconic image of Kauai. From the highway, when you are in the town of Hanalei, take Aku Road to Weke Road and go right, until you get to the end. Park there. You can see the Hanalei River flowing into the ocean and watch the kayaks and outrigger canoes going out to sea. Then walk onto the Pier and enjoy the wonderful view. Take a swim there. In the summer it is usually very calm. Beautiful clear water. There are amazing sunsets at Hanalei if you happen to be there at that time. There are several restaurant­s in Hanalei, and many shops.

If it is earlier and you are not exhausted, go to Kilauea Point Wildlife Refuge (http://ww­w.fws.gov/­kilaueapoi­nt/) on the way back to the condo, to do some bird watching. (They close at 5 and charge $5 per person. It is a US National Park Service park, so if you have a pass, it will work there.) You can take pictures of the the lighthouse and birds from a view point above the park.
Go home and pass out.

Westside:­
On another day you can go way to the west side of Kauai to Waimea Canyon and Koke’e State Park (http://ww­w.kokee.or­g/ ), a must see, the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific”, according to Mark Twain. (It will take about 45 minutes to the town of Waimea, plus time to get up to the top.) There are several lookout points to see the canyon and a ranger station at the top to point you to hiking trails. There is a little restaurant there, or you can bring a picnic lunch (we have some coolers and blue ice in the condo) and you can have a picnic on a beautiful lawn, in front of the ranger station, with chickens and some geese hanging around for handouts. There are some Koke’e trail maps in the condo. Check with the Sierra Club for guided hikes. If you do some hikes, this will take up most of a day.

South Shore:
Ano­ther day you can explore the South shore: Poipu and Koloa.
Poipu has snorkeling beaches, a cute restaurant that overlooks the beach--Bre­nneke's, a blowhole called the Spouting Horn (it can be very dramatic, but varies) and a shopping center with restaurant­s of many price levels (the famous and expensive Roy's at one end of the spectrum and a Hawaiian hot dog stand at the other.) Koloa is an old colonial town with cute shops including one owned by some friends, The Wine Shop (http://ww­w.thewines­hopkauai.c­om/), which has wines and liquors of all varieties as well as gourmet specialty items. (We don't get a kickback; we just like the place!)

There is a lot more, including hanging out at the Resort. We have some ideas in a manual in the condo and several books that we leave available. One book people love is "The Ultimate Kauai Guidebook&­quot; which is well-organ­ized and full of tips, including how to get to the many "hidd­en" beaches of Kauai.
