From an eye-popping coastline to a colossal canyon…
From ancient cultures to cool coastal vibes...
If ever there were an island where all things bloom, surely it is Kauai.
It once took mariners months to reach her shores, but today, the Hawaiian island of Kauai is just a six-hour flight from mainland USA, or a half-hour flight from Honolulu.
Kauai is the tip of a giant volcano, which rose from the Pacific floor over 5 million years ago.
The waves brought coconuts.
The birds brought seed, and the mountains, rain.
By the time the legendary Polynesian navigator Hawai'iloa arrived, Kauai was a veritable garden, ready to nourish all with her spiritual essence, her Mana.
On today's Kauai, no building can be taller than a coconut tree, a symbol of her people's deep and ongoing respect for the island.
Begin your Kauai adventure on the North Shore, and you'll soon see why Kauai is known as The Garden island.
