Kauai is the oldest and the smallest of the four major Hawaiian Islands. Kauai’s lush natural beauty and abundance of greenery has earned it the nickname "The Garden Isle", with good reason.
Kauai offers breathtaking mountains and valleys; deep, fertile forests completed with exciting panoramic trails; majestic waterfalls; miles of the best beaches in the world; and perfect tropical waters for perfect snorkeling and scuba.
Unparallel Beauty
Kauai houses two of Hawaii's most spectacular natural landscapes: Waimea Canyon and Fern Grotto. Mark Twain has described it as "the Grand Canyon of the Pacific," Waimea Canyon with its’ rough terrain and colorful beauty. Fern Grotto, recognized from Elvis' movie Blue Hawaii, is romantic and tranquil
The Beaches of Kauai
The warm tropical waters of Kauai offer you several great locations for snorkeling. Submerge yourself in the crystal clear waters of the Na Pali coast, the "jewel of Kauai" on the island's north coast; or venture out to neighboring Ni'ihau, the privately-owned " Forbidden Island”, for some of the best snorkeling on earth.
Both locations are home to some incredible sea-life: pods of wild spinner dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, spotted dolphins and even resident pilot whales. Na Pali is also noted for its incredible whale watching tours, which might bring you into contact with the migrating Pacific humpback whales.
