Kaua'i Sights

  1. Angeline's Mu'olaulani

With outdoor shower, open-air deck, massage tables separated by curtains, and simple sarongs to cover up, Angeline's is rustic and a real contrast to ritzy resort spas. The signature treatment includes a steam, vigorous salt scrub and a special four-hands (two-person) lomilomi .

  2. Fun Factory

    Another rainy-day option is Fun Factory, a very '80s place that resembles a carnival arcade, with sports and shooting games, video games and mini carousel rides.

  3. Smith's Tropical Paradise

    The setting can seem a tad hokey, with a Disney-esque Easter Island figure and trams full of sunburnt, aloha-attired tourists. But don't underestimate the garden's variety of plants, serene pond setting and unpretentious appeal. The loop trail through theme gardens at Smith's Tropical Paradise is a good deal. Forgo the tram ride for a leisurely stroll. If you're catching the luau here, you'll have ample time to tour the grounds before dinner.

Located between the 20- and 21-mile markers.
