Kauai is really the garden state with so much to offer!  With comparatively few commercial developments, "The Garden Isle" has preserved its pristine beauty and laid-back Hawaiian spirit. Waterfalls, scenic drives, and more than 60 beaches dot the landscape offering snorkeling, water sports, and shallow tidal pools that kids enjoy. Explore the island's natural beauty with a hike on the the Kalalau Trail along the Na Pali coastline, take a day trip to Waimea Canyon, or experience life on a sugar plantation at Grove Farm Homestead Museum. 


Kauai Backcountry has exclusive access to this historic irrigation system that once directly fed the sugar crops with waters that originate near the top of Mt. Waialeale, one of the wettest locations in the world with rainfall of about 452 inches per year! As you float down the tight canals and dark caves, you will find yourself literally off the beaten path and in one of the most tranquil, remote places on the island. End the adventure with a swim in the natural sinkhole and splash around in the refreshing mountain water! When your ready for your next adventure or relaxation vacation contact me for a hassle free and a one-of-a-kind adventure.  Talk to you soon!

The best trip of our lives visiting Alaska!
Karen is great! She really showed us the hospitality of Alaska. She was super helpful with planning the trip and during our stay in Alaska. We really appreciate her for putting in the effort for us to have a wholesome Alaskan experience. She is also quick at responding to our needs. When we told her that we were interested in dog mushing after we arrived in Alaska, she booked us a tour right away that night. My family and I had a wonderful time at Alaska thanks to Karen, and we look forward to visiting Alaska again!

Best Agent for Your Alaska Travels
Two years ago I started planing an Alaskan vacation for June 2024. I searched the internet for a travel agent and was directed to Karen Dillard. I told Karen my plans and she started to work. We were going to fly into Anchorage and fly out of Fairbanks. Next she suggested staying at McKinley Creekside Cabins. We loved this place! The rooms, the staff, the food, the views was excellent!
Next she suggested a cabin in North Pole. It was such a cute cozy cabin tucked away in the woods and it wasn't very far from Fairbanks.
I am thankful for Karen and her hard work these past two years. I know it was difficult due to some of my plans changing throughout the two years due to the amount of days I was able to be in Alaska.
Thank you Karen for your friendship!
