Our experience in Poipu (Kauai's south side):

We stayed in a stunning condo in the Nihi Kai complex. This vibrant community has a sprawling ocean view, beautiful gardens, a tennis court, and a pool. The glimmering ocean and mammoth mountains are visible from the unit.

Our dwelling was roomy, clean, and outfitted with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Among the provided amenities were a washer and dryer, dishwasher, and a sizable television. Air conditioning was available, but floor-to-ceiling windows and screen doors provided cool
breezes as well as stunning views.

The spacious lanai was a cozy environment from which to observe the dazzling sunset. Lush color blends seamlessly in the vast sky. If you’re very lucky, you may encounter the “green flash” - a rare phenomenon in which a green hue fills the sky as the sun sinks below the horizon.

In January, we often saw whales spouting off the coast and, occasionally, schools of dolphins breaking through the waves. Year round, beautiful birds - such as spotted doves, mynahs and red crested cardinals - with vibrant plumage wander the skies and grassland.

The lanai became a welcomed oasis during our travels. We’d enjoy a glass of wine, a good book, and the sound of gentle rainfall. One night, as my wife and I lounged on the plush patio chairs, we happened upon a rare sight. For a time, the sun and moon shared the sky, the former sinking as the latter rose. Their light combined was so absolute that my camera lens struggled to capturethe sheer immensity.

Bringing along a pair of binoculars will allow you to thoroughly appreciate the natural beauty of the area. Some affordable, user friendly cameras will allow you to capture and retain countless scenic memories. Click on the underlined text to browse options.
