KauaiThe Garden Isle — Na Pali sea cliffs, the Waimea Canyon, and Hanalei Bay on a single island circuit

The Na Pali Coast you can't drive to, Waimea Canyon (the Grand Canyon of the Pacific), Hanalei Bay's two-mile crescent, and the Tunnels Beach reef — Kauai is the wildest of the Hawaiian islands and the easiest to circle.

A Hawaii microsite

Welcome to KauaiThe Garden Isle. Na Pali sea cliffs you can only reach by boat, Waimea Canyon at 3,600 feet of red rock, and the Hanalei crescent on the north shore. Kauai is the wildest Hawaiian island — and the simplest to circle in a week.

Kauai is the oldest of the main islands and the most compact for a coast-to-coast trip — Princeville and Hanalei on the lush north shore, Kapaa and Wailua on the Coconut Coast, the resort row at Poipu and Koloa on the dry south, and the canyon-and-cliffs west side at Waimea and Polihale.

Our Kauai rentals span all four — Princeville oceanfront condos with Hanalei Bay views, Poipu Kai homes a short walk from Shipwreck Beach, Kapaa beach cottages on the Ke Ala Hele Makalae bike path, and Hanalei plantation cottages off Kuhio Highway.
