The state of Hawaii is comprised entirely of islands. The oldest of the eight main islands is Kauai. As with many of Hawaii’s islands, Kauai is the result of volcanic activity. Today it is nicknamed the Garden Isle because of its unsurpassed natural beauty and endless vistas.
The Wailua River and Falls
The Wailua River and waterfall are one example of Kauai’s impressive landscape. The Wailua River is one of the most popular in Hawaii for boating and kayaking. The Wailua Falls are a cascade of two streams falling roughly 80 feet into the river.
Waimea Canyon
Waimea Canyon is located on this island, and is called The Grand Canyon of the Pacific. Found on the island’s west side, this geological marvel boasts a lookout that offers splendid views of gorges, crags and valleys.
The Napali Coast
Found on Kauai’s North Shore is the Napali Coast, a location that highlights the majestic coastline of the area. This section of coast is only accessible on land by Kalalau Trail, which can prove to be a challenging hike for many. Boat tours and air access is available for non-hikers who wish to take in the breathtaking vistas.
