Discover The Island Of Kauai,
Hawaii
A
Kingdom by the Sea
“It was many and many a year ago, in a kingdom
by the sea, that a maiden there lived, whom you may know by the name of Annabel
Lee, and this maiden she lived with no other thought than to love and be loved
by me.”
Find that line familiar? That’s because Edgar Allan Poe,
the genius poet, wrote it centuries ago. Of course, he was probably talking
about a real person when he wrote that poem, but if during his lifetime he had
seen Kauai from the deck of a catamaran, he would have been moved to write the
same beautiful line of this charming island in the midst of the great Pacific.
Or not. But that’s not the point here.
Kauai may not have the
best snorkeling in the islands but snorkeling Kauai is a heck of a lot better
than snorkeling places like Des Moines. In fact, the most popular and
unforgettable attractions on Kauai is snorkeling. Indeed, there are only a few
things in life that can compare to drifting effortlessly among a school of
brightly colored tropical fish in the clear, warm seas of Kauai.
If
you want the best places for snorkeling, check out the inside of an
island’s many protected lagoons. In Kauai, the North Shore where the
stunning cliffs of Na Pali Coast provide you with the perfect amber and blue
backdrop is a perfect place to enjoy Kauai’s teeming marine life.
Nevertheless, almost any cove or reef will suit the casual underwater
spectator.
Kauai, Hawaii is home to hundreds of species of fish and
one third of this cannot be found anywhere else in the world. These fishes
thrive in coral reefs that abound Kauai’s calm waters. And since Kauai is
millions of years older than the other inhabited islands in the Hawaiian island
chain, it is here that you will find the most protected reef lagoons. |
