Kaua‘i, often called the “Garden Isle,” is the oldest and most verdant of the Hawaiian Islands. Its dramatic landscapes — from the sculpted ridges of the Nā Pali Coast to the vast chasm of Waimea Canyon — make it a dream for hikers, photographers, and anyone drawn to raw natural beauty.
Its slower pace and lush terrain have made it a favorite for film crews and honeymooners alike.
