Kauai, the oldest of the major Hawaiian Islands is alive with lush vegetation and tropical flowers. Northernmost, Kauai was the first to be free of volcanic activity.  The island's interior is largely inaccessible and a modern road system doesn't exist yet on the rugged Na'pali coast. However the untouched raw nature makes the highlights of the Garden Island, and  masterpieces like Waimea Canyon ( the Grand Canyon of the Pacific ), Wailua Falls, Fern Grotto and the Na'pali Coast are sights not to be missed.

According to the legend, this is the land of the Menehunes, " Hawaii's little people ", who preceded the Polynesians and are responsible for the massive fish ponds.

The sheer beauty of Kauai makes it the favorite of honeymooners, nature lovers and everyone who relishes the quiet life. However this garden paradise offers all the leisure activities you can dream of with accommodations to match.

The primary resort areas are Princeville to the north,  the Wailua-Kapaa coconut coast in the east and Poipu on the south coast.
