KAUAI MOVIE TOUR  INFORMATION
   Believe it or not, over 70 movies were filmed on this beautiful island. 
You may feel as if you are sitting in a movie theatre when you board these mini-buses, which have been custom-built just for "viewing". You will probably wish your local theatre was this comfortable, and as personable, as you travel back in time during this tour. One of the things that sets this apart from other tours are the tidbits of information, more like gossip, that you learn about the movie productions. Another thing that you will not find anywhere else is the surround sound digital equipment and TVs that are aboard each vehicle.

You will sing along as you travel through time recalling the hits that accompany films such as South Pacific and Blue Hawaii. And, as you ride the countryside of Kauai, you will see clips of those films as you pass by the actual locations.

You will surely work up an appetite and your lunch is included. Enjoy a picnic lunch of turkey Subs, pasta salad, chips, juice, water, regular and diet sodas.

So just sit back and look for these favorites: Voodoo Island with Boris Karloff, Frank Sinatra's None But the Brave, Lilo and Stitch, Outbreak, Jurassic Park, Honeymoon in Vegas, Body Heat, Gilligan's Island and so many more stops.

GOLF KAUAI'S NEWEST COURSE INFORMATION
  Beautiful views from this challenging course. Imagine yourself walking up to the first tee with a Pacific Ocean view in front of you and Mount Haupu towering over you. This isn't a dream.... this is Kauai's newest course. Robin Nelson, Hawaii’s most prolific golf course architect, designed the course to play around deep ravines and streams fed by fresh mountain rain water. With the inspirational terrain and calming mountain range backdrop, you'll find this course to play differently under a variety of weather conditions of wind and water. Nelson’s masterful architecture clearly conveys the routes one should take to achieve textbook pars. But he hints enticingly at ways to achieve gambling birdies that can quickly turn into bogies or worse.

Sports Illustrated thought enough of this course to name it one of the best golf courses in the United States.
