KAUAI
Kauai will soothe your
soul if you're looking to
unwind–but if a thrill is
what you seek, there's
ample opportunity!
The oldest and northernmost island in the Hawaiian chain, "The Garden Isle" is richly
draped in emerald valleys and ornamented with mountain spires and jagged cliffs,
features sharpened to splendor by time and the elements. Centuries of growth are
to thank for Kauai's tropical rainforests, forking rivers and cascading waterfalls–an
adventurer's dream. Take exploration even further; the views from the Napali Coast
are accessible only by sea or air, and provide rich reward for the effort. However,
access is easy when it comes to uncrowded crescent-shaped beaches, Tunnels Beach
among them.
Beyond drinking in Kauai's dramatic beauty, the island is home to a variety of
outdoor recreation. Kayak on the Wailua River and snorkel on Poipu Beach. Hike the
trails of Kokee State Park and zipline above its lush valleys. Yet despite the countless
opportunities for adventure, it's the island's laid-back atmosphere and rich culture
that make it truly timeless.
