Start your day listening to the song of island birds as you watch the sunrise. After taking in Kauai's many attractions, experience a magnificent sunset from your lanai before enjoying dinner at fine nearby restaurants.

Enjoy a stroll to a clear mountain pool at the bottom of a nearby waterfall. Stop along the way to pick and enjoy a selection of tropical fruits, flowers, or macadamia nuts. Hiking trails through area forest reserves of Paperbark, Norfolk Pine, and Kukui Nut trees and a spectacular view of Kauai's Sunny South Side are right out your back door.

Your hosts, Bill and Cathy Cowern, moved to Kauai from New Hampshire sixteen years ago. In addition to enjoying "talking story" with their guests, they are very active in agriculture on Kauai. Their beautiful eight-acre property is a developing tropical timber arboretum, graced with many species of tropical fruit and flowering timber trees.

Part of their vision is to create a bio-diverse tropical forest complete with trails and species identification. Investigate their development of a bio-diverse 4,000-acre timber planting on Kauai.
