Kauai Experiences
Known as the "Garden Island," Kauai surely lives up to its name; it is by far the greenest island in the Hawaiian chain. If you love gorgeous flora and fauna, the outdoors, and adventure, you’ve just found the best Hawaiian island to visit. Some of Kauai’s most beautiful gems are rather hidden, so to speak, so we’re highlighting the top ways to explore the island here- so you don’t miss a thing.
Visiting Kauai is like stepping back in time; it is the oldest of the Hawaiian Islands. As for the most enchanting? We think it just might be. Home to some of the Earth’s rarest plants and birds, one of the world’s most breathtaking coastlines, and even the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific," Kauai is truly incredible. Start your journey with these Kauai must-do activities:
Hiking
If you’re looking for the best place to hike in Hawaii, look no further. Hiking is the perfect way to appreciate the island’s beauty up close; whether you’re up for a strenuous challenge along the NaPali Coast or an easy trek admiring the rainforest. You can even roam the land inhabited by the "stars" of Jurassic Park... although dinosaur sightings are not guaranteed.
Helicopter Tours
Most areas of Kauai are inaccessible by road and very remote, making access difficult. However, a helicopter tour will have you soaring over waterfalls, dropping into the Waimea Canyon, or marveling at the spectacular NaPali Coast from above- it’s a mesmerizing perspective and bucket list adventure you’ll never forget.
NaPali Coast Tours
Mystical, life-changing, perfection… no words can do this geologic wonder justice. Waterfalls plummet into deep valleys, lush green cliffs plunge to the sea, and centuries of Hawaiian culture and mana (spiritual power) are palpable. The NaPali Coast is unlike any other place on Earth and Mother Nature’s artfully-chiseled masterpiece beckons you- please don’t miss the call.
