Kauai Travel Tips

See Waimea Canyon, the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific."
Get a bird's-eye view of Kauai, aka the Garden Isle, on a helicopter ride.
Head offshore to Ke'e Lagoon, Tunnels Reef, and Cannons—offshore dive sites ranging in depth from 12 to 65 feet. Underwater terrain includes coral reefs, lava tubes, and caves, all teeming with rainbow-hued fish.
Hit the South Shore along with new and experienced divers in winter, when waters are calm.
Swim with colorful parrot fish at Lydgate Park, a man-made lagoon near Wailua on the East Side.

Kauai Travel Guide

On any list of the world's most spectacular islands, Kauai ranks right up there with Bora Bora, Huahine, and Rarotonga. All the elements are here: moody rainforests, majestic cliffs, jagged peaks, emerald valleys, palm trees swaying in the breeze, daily rainbows, and some of the most spectacular golden beaches you'll find anywhere. Soft tropical air, sunrise bird song, essences of ginger and plumeria, golden sunsets, sparkling waterfalls—you don't just go to Kauai, you absorb it with every sense. It may get more than its fair share of tropical downpours, but that's what makes it so lush and green—and creates an abundance of rainbows. Read More
