Kipu Falls on Kauai is praised in many travel books and online media as a great place to cool off. The 20-foot waterfall cascades down a cliff and into a small pool.

Hula Cove Kapoho Vacation Rental Review

Hula Cove is a beautiful getaway located in Kapoho on the Big Island of Hawaii. We spent a week here and we really enjoyed the cottage and the surroundings. The cottage itself was very comfortable and perfect for two people. There was all the necessary equipment to cook, do laundry and go snorkeling. The house is one of the better ones in the area. If you take a walk through the neighborhood you will see that some houses are not so nice compared to... [Read more]

Kapoho-Kalapana Road 137 (Red Road)

Kapoho-Kalapana Road 137 is a narrow and winding, but very scenic road that will take you on an unforgettable journey through tropical rainforests and lava fields.

The rest of the road has been resurfaced with black asphalt in 2000.  There are a few attractions on the way... [Read more]
