Kilauea Treasure Hunt
You never know what you might find when you stay at Kilauea lakeside Estate
on Kauai’s north coast. There are some attractions you will easily discover on the
grounds of this ecological hideaway: the ancient Hawaiian rock walls, for example,
or the 20-acre lake. From the lake beach you can swim to a dollop of an island
where there is a Tom sawyer-style playground, a rope dangling from a
tree and a tree house. But we don’t want to spoil everything; you’ll have to walk the
rainforest on the property to understand what we’re talking about. Owner steve
Hunt, whose great-uncle was a governor of Hawaii, can also arrange for you to
experience various forms of Hawaiiana, such as canoeing, hula or botanical lessons.
On the estate’s preserved land, you can pluck your own breakfast from one of 50
varieties of fruit trees and see 150 varieties of flower. also, close by is Na Aina Kai
Botanical Gardens. Rates for the retreat start at $595. kauaihoneymoon.com — cr
