Kawai is Hawaii’s fourth largest island and is sometimes referred to as a garden island, which is a truly accurate description. The oldest and most northern island in the Hawaiian chain is covered by emerald valleys, sharp mountain peaks and steep cliffs due to weather and elements. Over the centuries tropical forests, rivers and waterfalls have split! Some parts of Kauai can only be accessed by sea or air and offer views that you cannot imagine. The island is more than just dramatic beauty, it hosts a variety of outdoor activities. You can kayak on the Wailua River, snorkel at Poipu Beach, hike trails in the Koki State Park, or hike across the lush valley of Kauai. But the atmosphere and cultural richness of the island in their small towns makes them truly timeless.
