Kauai - Hawaii's oldest and westernmost island - is the embodiment of paradise. From breathtaking golden beaches and magnificent cliffs, to constant rainbows and thriving rainforests, this "Garden Isle" is unadulterated bliss. The island's pervasive beauty has been celebrated by everyone from Mark Twain, who dubbed Waimea Canyon "The Grand Canyon of the Pacific," to the filmmakers who have set their movies against the scalloped cliffs and valleys of the Na Pali Coast for South Pacific, Blue Hawaii, and Jurassic Park, among many, many others.

A drive across the island only takes 2 hours, so you can see everyone with ease from behind the wheel, or leave the car behind and take a boat trip down the Wailua, Hawaii's only navigable river, to the natural amphitheater at Fern Grotto. The endless famous beaches and fabulous resorts combine golfing, horseback riding, fishing, and hiking galore to make a trip to Kauai the vacation of a lifetime!
