Ask Endora

Dear Endora:

Help – I’m an adventure addict and my girlfriend is taking me for my first visit to Kauai. What is one adventure not to be missed?

First Time Visitor to Kauai

Dear First Time Visitor to Kauai,

Darling you are so fortunate to have such a wonderful friend! So if you want to experience one of the top "soft" adventures in the entire USA – then you must kayak the ocean waters along the Napali Coast (during the summer months only). National Geographic labeled it the second best adventure experience in the United States. If your travel plans take you outside of these months fear not, Kauai offers many adventure activities you will enjoy.

Happy travels,    Endora

Dear Endora,

I think my friends are pulling my leg – they tell me that there were magical small people who built a lot of structures in Hawaii and only come out at night. Sounds like a myth to me!

Aloha Just Joshin,

Actually many Hawaiians will talk story about the menehune and how they once were a civilization of small people who were very industrious. Legend says that they were small dwarf like people who built the fish pond on Kauai and the watercourse in Waimea Valley – some Hawaiians believe they still exist.

Either way it is an story that has transcended many generations.

All the best,
   Enjoy! Endora.

Dear Endora,

Many of my friends tell me cruising is the best vacation ever – why is this so?

Dear Charles,

This is terminology used by the cruise lines.

Well darling cruising is great to me because you have to unpack only 1x and still you get to visit many different countries. After a shore excursion you get to come back to the comfort of your floating hotel room. The ship offers a multitude of restaurants, and the wonderful cuisine from excellent chefs can be a highlight of any cruise. Nowadays it is all about coming and going as you please – there are many choices, and not all ships require you to dress. But for me I think it is the fact that I don't have to think about how to get to point A, B,C – the cruise line does it for you and all you have to do is sit back and enjoy the journey!

Hope you get to experience you first cruise soon,
   Endora
