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!
Reviewed By Emily C. - Davis, California | Traveled to Fairbanks ~ Alaska ~ USA
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
Reviewed By Nancy P - Memphis, Tennessee | Traveled to Alaska ~ USA
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!

Best Alaska Trip of our lives!
Reviewed By Bill Sjoblom - Columbus, Ohio | Traveled to Alaska ~ USA
I wanted to send you a note to let you know how absolutely pleased we were with all of your recommendations. Several people have been so interested and impressed with all the things we did that they want me to plan their next Alaskan vacation. Of course, I have already passed along your contact info and will continue to do so. Thanks again for setting this all up. We enjoyed every minute of our trip. When I was trying to select a travel agent to help with our trip, I found the Travel Leaders Network and my first filter was travel agents that specialize in Alaska. I decided to limit my search to agents that specialize in Alaska AND live in Alaska. That's how I found Karen Dillard. It just made sense to me to work with someone that lives in Alaska and has local experience and contacts. I'm so glad I did. Karen was outstanding, taking the time to listen and learn about our family and customizing the perfect itinerary for us! We all agreed we would not have changed a thing.
