Kauai holidays offer the chance for visitors to indulge in a slice of paradise island life surrounded by sublime natural beauty. While there are plenty of islands to visit across Hawaii, Kauai is the oldest and northernmost island in the archipelago.
Holidays in Kauai are ideal for nature lovers and adventurers, with plenty of exciting outdoor activities to take part in, and beautiful landscapes to explore. Fortunately, the natural landscapes of the island are still largely untouched, and you are in for a treat as all your senses will come alive during your Kauai holiday.
Experience sublime natural beauty on Kauai holidays
The small and rainy island of Kauai is known as Hawaii’s ‘Garden Island’. It’s home to ancient rainforests, brilliant green valleys, and dazzling waterfalls to explore and hike. Sun seekers will find plenty of pleasure too. Kauai is peppered with golden sugar sand beaches and pretty coves that are perfect for sunbathing.
For sublime snorkelling conditions, a visit to Poipu Beach is a must. The warm, shallow blue waters make it easy to spot sea turtles cruising around the vibrant reefs, along with plenty of colourful species of fish. You can also keep an eye out for the endangered Hawaiian monk seals, who sometimes lie lazily in the sun on the golden sands of Poipu Beach Park.
Don’t miss a visit to the sprawling Waimea Canyon, otherwise known as the ‘Grand Canyon of the Pacific’. Here you can admire panoramic views over the deep-red soiled canyon. For a once-in-a-lifetime experience, soar through the skies on a helicopter to admire the views of Waimea Canyon and the frothy Wailua Falls from a sky-high perspective.
