The lush landscape of Kauai has led to it being called the ‘Garden Isle’, but it is also referred to as the ‘Island of Discovery’, and with good reason. A land of stunning natural contrasts, just waiting to be explored. Soaring emerald green mountains, sparkling rivers, canyons and caves, verdant tropical rainforests, a breathtaking coastline, and secluded white sand beaches combine to make this magical place one of the world’s most relaxing locations.
Kauai has enough to keep you busy for weeks but if you had to do everything in one day, here’s how we would suggest you spend your time to see the very best of this spectacular island. Head for the North Shore and the famed Napali Coast, exposed to the trade winds and big waves.
