Kauai, often referred to as the "Garden Isle," is the fourth largest island in the Hawaiian archipelago. It’s known for its stunning natural beauty, lush landscapes, and a more laid-back atmosphere compared to some of the other islands.
Here are some key highlights and attractions on Kauai:
Na Pali Coast: Stunning cliffs and lush valleys that can be explored by hiking the Kalalau Trail, taking boat tours, or scenic helicopter flights.
Waimea Canyon: Known as the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific," this canyon offers breathtaking views and numerous hiking trails.
Hanalei Bay: A beautiful beach area perfect for swimming, paddleboarding, and enjoying sunsets, surrounded by lush mountains.
Wailua Falls: A picturesque waterfall easily accessible from the road, offering great photo opportunities.
Kokee State Park: Features hiking trails with stunning views of the canyon and diverse plant and animal life.
Spouting Horn: A natural blowhole on the south shore that creates impressive water sprays, especially during high tide.
Old Koloa Town: A charming historic town with shops, restaurants, and a glimpse into the island's sugar plantation past.
Opaekaa Falls: An easily accessible waterfall with scenic lookout points.
Princeville: A resort area with beautiful views, golf courses, and close access to Hanalei Bay.
Allerton Garden: A stunning botanical garden in Lawai Valley, showcasing diverse plant species and beautiful landscapes.

Rey has booked several domestic and international trips for me over the years. Each time the experience was fantastic. Rey is not only a knowledgeable and experienced travel agent, he is patient with groups and always provides stellar customer service. The resorts are always fabulous and his recommendations on what to do when we arrive at our destinations make my vacations more enjoyable. I’ve counted on Rey to book fabulous vacations for over 10 years and he always delivers the best. I’ve always enjoyed the individual attention and care Rey provides his clients. He understands the apprehension that comes along with trying new places and is thorough and accommodating as a result. He’s also great at making suggestions on future vacations and I’ve never been disappointed when I follow his suggestions. Rey will remain my travel confidante for many years to come. He’s the best, hands down!

We have worked with Rey for many years and have always enjoyed the experience. Most of our travel has been river cruises in Europe but last year we did a trip to South Africa. Rey is very thoughtful, thorough and responsive.

Rey and the Almeda Travel family have been so good to my family in assisting us in all of our travel needs/goals from beginning to return. Rey has shown nothing but the utmost professionalism, patience,guidance, and quality service that is so difficult to find these days. We have trusted Almeda Travel for the last 5-6 years for our vacations and will continue to do so, I also strongly recommend if you’re looking for an agent/team that is knowledgeable and consumer responsive go with Almeda Travel!
