Why Meet on Kauaʻi?

Hawaiʻi’s oldest and fourth largest isle engages every sense. On Kauaʻi, you'll find a world of infinite greens and blues and experiences that are larger than life. Attendees from around the world are invigorated by Kauaʻi’s surging waterfalls cascading down emerald cliffs in Waimea Canyon, by the Nāpali Coast’s soaring, 3,000-foot cliffs viewed from a luxury catamaran and by breathing in the fragrance of lush, unspoiled tropical flora.

Kauaʻi’s awe-inducing splendor has long been a muse for creativity, which may be why it has provided the backdrop to more than a hundred films and television shows, including Jurassic Park, Blue Hawaii and Raiders of the Lost Ark. For Hollywood types and meeting groups alike, Hawaiʻi’s “Island of Discovery” inspires greatness.

Overnight Options 

Like all buildings on the “the Garden Island,” no hotels are taller than a coconut palm tree ensuring that views across the island remain pristine. There are more than 4,000 hotel rooms, and many properties have flexible, functional meeting spaces. Options range from value-oriented, family-friendly hotels to exclusive resorts offering VIP style.

There are five major resort areas on Kauaʻi:

  • Poʻipū in the south is known best for its beaches
  • Likewise for Kalapaki Beach, which is close to the hub town of Līhuʻe
  • The Wailua area is centrally located with activities on Wailua River
  • In the west, quiet Waimea serves as the entrance to Waimea Canyon
  • Princeville in the north is dramatic, with rugged mountain backdrops and upscale amenities, including some of Hawaiʻi’s most celebrated golf courses.

Teambuilding Takes Off
