There’s no better spot to have the perfect island day than from our authentic plantation cottages in Kauai. With modern amenities, a postcard-worthy landscape and a convenient location near sightseeing, outdoor adventure and authentic restaurants, Fern Grotto Inn offers the ideal homebase for getting up close and personal with Kauai. Pack it all into one unforgettable day with this itinerary.


Morning
Begin the day with breakfast at one of our local restaurants. Plan your adventures as you linger over pork tocino and eggs at Kauai Family Cafe or a Tropical Thunder Skillet at oceanfront Lava Lava Beach Club.

Some of the most beautiful spots in Kauai can’t be reached by car, so consider taking a helicopter tour to view the lush tropical landscape, or hop aboard one of the river boat tours that travel down the Wailua River to the Fern Grotto.


Afternoon
After your morning adventure, return to your Kauai cottage for lunch. Grab meal fixings at the local market and meander into our garden and pick a fresh mango for your salad. Most of our cottages have fully equipped kitchens for easy preparation.

After your meal, take a nap in a hammock or sink into a comfortable chair and catch up on your reading before heading out for swimming and snorkeling. It’s a five-minute walk to the beach. Be sure to grab some of our complimentary beach gear: coolers, chairs, mats, umbrellas, boogie boards, fins and plastic beach toys for the kids.


Evening
Return to your cottage to rest and freshen up for a late evening dinner at Smith Family Garden Luau, nestled in a 30-acre botanical garden just a 15-minute stroll from our cottages. Enjoy a luau complete with emu oven, dancers, and traditional Hawaiian entertainment for an authentic Kauai evening.

For a more relaxing evening, wind down at your cozy cottage by cooking dinner on the BBQ and lounging on the lanai while watching the stars, admiring our garden and listening to the native birds and sound of the sea crashing in the distance.
