About Kauai

Island of Kauai

The oldest and northernmost island in the Hawaiian chain, Kauai is Hawaii’s fourth largest island and is referred to as the “Garden Isle”. Kauai is 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. Some parts of Kauai are only accessible by sea or air, revealing views beyond your imagination.

Kauai’s laid-back atmosphere and rich culture found in its small towns and along its one-lane bridges make it truly timeless. However, there is more to Kauai, the island is home to a variety of outdoor activities. Kayak the Wailua River. Snorkel on Poipu Beach. Hike the trails of Kokee State Park. Even go ziplining above Kauai’s lush valleys. There is no end to Kauai’s charm.
