Kauai, Hawaii

Occupying 552 square miles with lush, mountainous regions, and beaches covering almost half its shoreline, Kauai is Hawaii’s fourth largest island and is known as the “Garden Isle.” Draped in emerald valleys, sharp mountain spires and jagged cliffs aged by time and the elements, centuries of growth have formed tropical rainforests, forking rivers, and cascading waterfalls. Kauai is separated into five main regions: Lihue, the East Side (Coconut Coast), the North Shore, the South Shore, and the West Side. As the oldest of the islands, it has been characterized by the forces of erosion that have resulted in natural wonders such as Waimea Canyon and the Napali Coast. As a result of its age, Kauai also has more miles of sandy coastline than any of the other Hawaiian Islands. From the beauty of the 3,000-foot elevations of the canyon to the deep gorges of 5,148-foot Mount Waialeale in the uninhabited center of the island, Kauai's most striking geographic feature is the Napali Coast, which rivals any of the world’s grandest coastlines. This 17-mile coastline took millions of years to form and the results are breathtaking, complete with green valleys, towering waterfalls, and hidden sea caves.

Explore the island via land, sea, or air to discover heavenly beaches and charming, historic small towns such as Hanapepe and Koloa, where no building is taller than a coconut tree. Kauai is home to a variety of outdoor activities. Kayak the Wailua River, snorkel on Poipu Beach, hike the trails of Kokee State Park, or go ziplining above Kauai’s lush valleys. An abundance of adventure isn’t the only thing that Kauai has to offer! It's the island’s laid-back atmosphere and rich culture that make it truly timeless.
