Keahua Forestry Arboretum offers a variety of plant life from monkeypod and eucalyptus trees to exotic mango. The park has several picnic pavilions to relax on and fresh swimming pools and streams to cool off on a hot day. Several of the island's popular hikes like the Kuilau and Powerline trails begin here.

Sugar used to reign supreme in the islands until world trade opened up the market to cheaper sources. The Koloa Sugar Mill which was built in 1898 by Walter McBryde, the second son of Duncan and Elizabeth. Now it sits vacant and rusting, a reminder that not all good things last and economies continually change.

Poli'ahu Heiau is one of Kaua‘i’s most legendary structures located just across the road from beautiful Opaeka'a Falls. Here you’ll find an ancient heiau or place of worship. It is actually one of seven stretching along the Wailua River from the ocean to the top of Wai‘ale‘ale a few miles inland where the river is born.

This charming little chapel in Kilauea is constructed of lava stone donated by the Kilauea Sugar Company, which also provided the land. The intricate stained glass windows were shipped from England in 1935 and have since been restored. Regular Sunday worship services are held here and the congregation often allows non-members to hold weddings in the chapel.

The small, western town of Waimea is where the English explorer Capt. James Cook first landed in the Hawaiian Islands in 1778. The town has built a statue in his honor. This monument is actually a replica of the one that stands in his home town of Whitby, England. Cook continued on to sail to all the other islands until he was killed in 1779 on the Big Island following a dispute over a row boat.
