Known as the “Garden Island”, Kauai is the most ancient one in Hawaii’s archipelago, and a true paradise for those looking for nature in its purest state. Unlike Oahu or Maui, which combine vibrant beaches with a cosmopolitan environment, Kauai has a wilder and more relaxed character.
Its landscapes are a mix of emerald-green mountains covered in tropical forests, deep canyons, impressive cliffs, and hidden beaches that look like postcards. It is the perfect island for travelers seeking disconnection, adventure with so many tourist activities, and intimate contact with nature. If Kauai is not on your radar yet, here are some of its many attractions.
EXPLORE THE COAST OF NA PALI
One of the greatest treasures of Kauai is the Na Pali coast, a strip of green cliffs that fall abruptly over the Pacific Ocean. You can explore it by boat, kayak, or helicopter, each option with a unique perspective.
Hiking the Kalalau Trail is ideal for adventurers: a challenging walk that rewards you with spectacular views and isolated beaches.
ADMIRE THE WAIMEA CANYON
Referred to as the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific”, the Waimea Canyon dazzles you with its red, green, and ochre walls that contrast with the blue of the sky, characteristic of this zone in Hawaii.
There are many viewpoints accessible by car, and for those wanting to go beyond, trails like the Canyon Trail lead you to waterfalls and unforgettable panoramic views.
RELAX AT HANALEI BAY
The charming Hanalei town and its half-moon bay are a must-visit. The beach is ideal for tourism activities: swimming, surfing, or simply watching the sunset with the mountains in the background.
The Hanalei port is an iconic photographic spot, perfect for anyone looking for the classic Hawaiian postcard.
DISCOVER THE SOUTH COAST AND POIPU BEACH
In the south of the island, Poipu Beach is famous for its clear and calm sea, ideal for families. Additionally, it is common to find turtles and seals resting on the sand. Enjoy the summer in these destinations!
Near that place, you’ll find the Spouting Horn, a natural geyser that erupts jets of water in between the rocks.
ADVENTURE INTO THE JUNGLE AND THE WATERFALLS
Kauai is filled with spectacular waterfalls, like Wailua Falls, accessible by car, or the Opaekaa Falls, surrounded by tropical vegetation. You can have kayak tours in the Wailua River or go on a zip line with imposing views.
WHERE TO STAY IN KAUAI?
Accommodation is key to fully enjoying your Kauai experience. We recommend two excellent options that you can enjoy with your membership:
On one hand, The Cliffs, located in Princeville. This resort offers spacious suites with equipped kitchens, ideal for those wanting independence.
Their tropical gardens, the pool, sports courts, and tourism-organized activities like yoga or tastings make this place a perfect refuge for couples and families. The view from the cliffs is incomparable.
On the other hand, we know you’ll want to spend some days on the Big Island of Hawaii, so we recommend the Kona Coast Resort.
Its villas have wide terraces, kitchens, and living rooms, in addition to pools, a spa, a golf course nearby, and a relaxed environment that guarantees total rest. It’s ideal for those wanting to extend their Hawaiian experience beyond Kauai.
