With six main landmasses forming the majestic Hawai’ian Islands, choosing just one to visit may be the most difficult part of your trip. Explore top destinations on each isle for an incredible island-hopping adventure or hunker down on one location and fully explore your surroundings.
Outdoorsy travelers and nature lovers know you can’t go wrong on a trip to any of one the Hawaiian Islands, but with so much to do and see on Kaua’i alone, the “Garden Island” comes highly recommended. The fourth-largest island and most secluded in the archipelago, Kaua’i is the oldest island in the chain and offers lush green landscape from centuries of growth and vegetation.
Explore the island’s iconic destinations including Polihale State Park and Waimea Canyon. Kayak through forking rivers weaving through Waimea, also known as the Grand Canyon of the Pacific.
Relax on the white sands of Polihale Beach between swimming and snorkeling in the ocean. Cliff dive from the isolated beaches and jagged mountainside stretching along the beach.
Expert hikers take on the impressive challenge of the Kalalau Trail. Those up for the incredible physical challenge enjoy panoramic cliffside views overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
Be sure to check out the idyllic Napali Coast along Kaua’i’s impeccable North Shore. Trek the Nāpali Coast State Park wilderness by foot and in Jeeps, or take to the sea for an unbeatable view of the coastline. Hop on a tour or private boat for the best view of the colossal cliffs and unbeatable views.
