"The lushest and greenest of the Hawaiian Islands—'The Garden Isle'—Kauai rewards effort with remote beauty: many top spots require extra work but offer spectacular landscapes, secluded beaches, and dramatic coasts." - Caitlin Morton
"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
"Known as the 'Garden Island', this island offers empty beaches such as Lumahai Beach and dramatic landscapes like the vast Waimea Canyon State Park. Visitors can book a sunset cruise of the Nāpali Coast with local operators like Holo Holo Charters to appreciate the geology from the water. Family-friendly resorts such as Koloa Landing provide sprawling grounds and spacious rooms and suites suitable for entire families." - Andrea Romano Andrea Romano Andrea Romano is a writer and editor in New York City.
