One impressive example of the island's landscape is the Wailua River, a popular location for boating and kayaking. Cascading into the river are the Wailua Falls; two streams that fall approximately 80 feet to meet the water's surface. The Grand Canyon of the Pacific is also found on Kauai. Waimea Canyon offers a lookout spot to take in the island's splendid views. In this video, http://www.WatchMojo.com profiles the Hawaiian island of Kauai.

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.
