Spotlight on Kauai - The Garden Isle

The Garden Isle
The center peaks of Kauai are one of the wettest spots on Earth with over 400 inches of rainfall per year. This lends to its amazing tropical plants and flowers and loads of waterfalls and endless rainbows.

Laid Back and Non-Commercial
  • It is the anti-Honolulu and anti-Maui island as it restricts large-scale tourist development
  • Height restrictions - no building can be taller than a coconut tree
  • Single-lane bridges keep traffic's pace relaxed on the north shore
  • Average speed on most roads is 45 mph
  • Only a few high-end resorts exist

Key Features
  • Comparably low numbers of tourists
  • Oldest, northern-most inhabited main island
  • Over 27 beaches (many undeveloped and secluded)
  • Waimea Canyon - Grand Canyon of the Pacific
  • Napali - 17 miles of 4,000-ft emerald sea cliffs and sea caves
  • Spouting Horn - water shoots up through holes in the rocks as waves surge in from below
  • Only Hawaiian island with navigable rivers
  • Fern Grotto - ferns hang naturally from a a massive overhang
  • Kilauea Lighthouse
  • Kalalau Trail - hugs the ridges of Kauai's Napali Coast for 11 miles one way (you can go as far as you want before turning back)
