[quote anonymouse1]Absolutely see Waimea Canyon--it's the Grand Canyon of the Pacific, as Mark Twain called it. It was an astonishing highlight for us. Get the Kauai book from Wizard Press!!!! This the BEST book: http://wizardpub.com/kauai/kauai.html And some folks say that the helicopter ride over the highest peak is wonderful
HolyCrack, how could i have forgotten about Waimea. YES, to both of Anon's suggestions. Waimea Canyon was one of the highlights of the entire trip for me. Absolutely STUNNING. There's a step-by-step, extremely detailed, guided tour in the book. When you get up top to the canyon, put the book down. Put the camera away. And just soak it all in. Then hop back into your car and continue driving up to the very top and get blown away again. Trust me. You will be floored by what you'll see up there. I could stare at that view for hours. *SIGH* I need to go back
