Kauai is not a tiki destination really. And to go there seeking tiki would be defeating the point of the visit. It is a beautiful island, and you are best off simply enjoying it for that alone.

That said, to answer your question "is there anything on Kauai as cool as the place of refuge"...

Yes, Waimea canyon is one of the most incredible and beautiful places on earth as far as I am concerned. Spend an entire day there.

And the Smith Family Luau is nearly unchanged since it began. Be sure to go.

And also the Kauai Museum is worth the time if you care at all about the history of the island and it's native peoples, animals, and plants.

Here is a link to the FOM gallery which contains Kauai pics I took on my two most recent trips. I'll be back there in March and I'll take more then as well.

Hey Ahu,
Cool pics man.
I've been to Kauai twice. my parents go every year, and are there right now.
when we did the Napali coast it was real tame waters, they backed the
boat into the cave and I was sittingin the last seat. He backed me right underneath a waterfall that comes into the ocean cave.
was cold, but felt so refreshing.
good times, Kauai is so beautiful.

p.s. no chicken pictures? almost all of our pics have chickens in thm as they were all over the island when we were there.

We did 7 islands last December. Good Fire on Big Island, I didn't see fire on any other island. Here's us when we sneaked out to the Pu U O' O' vent in the national park:

Waikiki was pretty nice too though:

But Wiamea Canyon was very nice also.
