Caught in the hustle and bustle of Eastside Kaua’i is Wailua, with shopping complexes, malls, condo’s and commerce competing with coastal coconut groves and a mountainous backdrop for attention.
Wailua River, the only navigable river in Hawaii, unwinds its course through the nearby State Park and adds to the excitement by affording other kinds of water sports amid the flourishing industry it generates.

A keen historical perspective is also attested to in many ancient sites of interest and a range of eclectic ethnic cuisines to tempt the most jaded palate.
