Kauai"The Garden Isle"

Kauai, the oldest of the main Hawaiian Islands, was shaped by volcanic activity around six million years ago. It is a mountainous island with Kawaikini as the highest peak at 5,243 feet and Mount Wai’ale’ale at 5,148 feet. The top of Mount Wai’ale’ale is among the wettest places on Earth, generating magnificent waterfalls and valleys due to heavy rainfall. On the western side lies the town of Waimea, where the Waimea River formed the impressive Waimea Canyon, often referred to as "The Grand Canyon of the Pacific." Don't miss the breathtaking Na Pali Coast with its towering cliffs and cascading waterfalls. No roads lead through this wild area, but hiking trails and kayaking offer access to hidden beaches and stunning vistas. Kauai's geological history is etched into its landscapes, creating an awe-inspiring destination for nature enthusiasts and adventure seekers alike.

Inside Hawaii

The Hawaiian Lei

Synonymous with Hawaiian culture and a historic symbol of Hawaii is the Lei. This is a garland of flowers that is usually draped over your shoulders, hanging down both in front and in back. The custom comes from ancient Polynesians who visited the islands and passed down their tradition of wearing leis to the Hawaiian people. This tradition evolved into the Native Hawaiians wearing them to signify their ranks and royalty. They are also worn as an honor to their gods.

As tourism reached Hawaii, the custom of the lei became a staple of Hawaii popular culture and is used as a symbol of affection - typically when a person is arriving or leaving. The locals use leis for all sorts of occasions including: birthdays, graduations, weddings, etc. During a graduation, high school or college graduates can be seen wearing so many lei that it covers their face! Visitors can order a traditional flower lei right at the airport for an old school Hawaiian greeting. It's always a nice way to transport yourself to the tropical island mindset.

Aria Snorkel Mask Rental

Offering rentals and sales of the Aria Snorkel Mask. Explore the amazing underworld of Kauai with the newest snorkeling sensation. Aria's full-face design allows you to breathe through your mouth and nose, without a mouthpiece to bite down on. More comfort, better visibility, no leaking,  and ZERO fogging.The dry-top snorkel system prevents water from entering the mask when diving below the surface, so there is not a need to "purge" the mask when resurfacing. There is also a one-way valve in the chin, so if you do get any water in the mask it will drain out. Aria is made in Italy by Ocean Reef, a family owned company that has been in business for over 60 years. They are considered pioneers in the scuba industry and have won numerous awards for their innovative dive products. Ocean Reef invented the first-ever full-face scuba mask in 1996 called Neptune, and then invented the first ever full-face snorkel mask in 2012 called Easybreath.
