Kaua‘i Tours & Activities

From the moment you arrive on Kaua‘i, you’ll be enthralled by the island’s lush natural beauty, the untouched tropical rainforests, and the dramatic sea cliffs that make up the Nā Pali Coastline. Kaua‘i is also home to Waimea Canyon; the mile-wide valley spans 14 miles seaward and 3,600 feet deep, earning its nickname “The Grand Canyon of the Pacific”. The tallest point on the island, Mount Waialeale, is the wettest spot in the United States. Soaring above the rest of Kaua‘i Island, Mount Waiʻaleʻale has an annual rainfall of 452 inches, filling reservoirs and rivers while adding to the island’s signature green. E komo mai – welcome – to the “Garden Isle” of Kaua‘i, the oldest, smallest, and most verdant of the four main Hawai‘ian Islands.

Of the main Hawai‘ian Islands, Kaua‘i boasts the longest history despite its limited geography. Because Kaua‘i Island was the first formed in the main island chain, the volcanic rock that forms Kaua‘i has experienced the lengthiest exposure to the elements, resulting in dramatic landscapes shaped by wind and rain erosion. The dominant geological features of the island range from vast, gaping canyons to colossal sea cliffs, reaching thousands of feet skyward. Kaua‘i is lined with over 50 miles of beach – more than any other island – and is also where the only navigable freshwater river in the state resides. Kaua‘i is undoubtedly the gem of the island chain.
