The Best Island to Visit in Hawaii for Every Type of Traveler | Condé Nast Traveler

"Dubbed the Garden Island and ideal for nature lovers, Kauaʻi is celebrated for its ancient, lush landscapes—Waimea Canyon (the ‘Grand Canyon of the Pacific’) for hiking, Poʻipū beaches and the Spouting Horn blowhole on the South Shore, the palm-fringed Coconut Coast, and the Nā Pali Coast with taro fields and botanical gardens—overall inviting visitors to let go, do nothing, and feel immersed in untouched beauty." - Rachel Cheng
