 Kauai, Hawaii's Island of Adventure
From the soaring cliffs of the Napali Coast to the vast chasms of Waimea
Canyon, Kauai embraces the senses like no other destination. Explore the
island via land, sea or air to experience settings you've only dreamed about.
Discover 50-miles of heavenly beaches from Poipu Beach to Hanalei Bay.
Explore charming and historic small towns like Hanapepe and Koloa where no
building is taller than a coconut tree. With so much to experience, "Hawaii's
Island of Discovery," is begging to be explored.
Beyond Kauai's dramatic beauty, the island is home to a variety of outdoor activities. Kayak the Wailua River. Snorkel on Poipu Beach. Hike the trails of Kokee State Park. Even go ziplining above Kauai's lush valleys. But it is the island's laid-back atmosphere and rich culture found in its small towns and along its one-lane bridges that make it truly timeless. Make your escape to Kauai and discover the undeniable allure of Kauai.
Anytime of year is a good time to visit Kauai with average yearly temperatures ranging between 84 and 69 degrees. Ocean temperatures are also perfect ranging from 71 to 81 degrees. Trade winds keep things
comfortable year-round.
Some of the lush interior of the island is only accessible by air, so you may
find yourself taking a sightseeing sky adventure by helicopter or small plane.
Don't miss the chance to travel by foot on Kauai's magnificent hiking trails
or vast, trackless beaches.
