Kauai is the oldest and northernmost of the
Hawaiian islands and its natural beauty is simply stunning. It
is also known as "the garden isle" and I found this nickname
to be true as the island is very green and vegetation is abundant.
One thing that I liked about Kauai is that it is still largely
unspoiled, mostly rural, with no hotel strips and no four lane
roads (well, there are a few big resorts but this is not the norm
here). What is amazing about this little island is how many things
one can see and do in such a small place. One shouldn't miss the
Waimea Canyon, the Napali Coast (the Kalalau Valley), the many
waterfalls, the view of the taro fields from Hanalei and the
spectacular beaches (which are all public).
