"More than just a garden" Kauai by sswagner

Kauai Travel Guide: 952 reviews and 2,521 photos

Although I have yet to decide which is my favorite Hawaiian island (have not seen them all), Kauai sure shows promise. It is beautiful as promised. The "Garden Island" is verdant and shows signs of life everywhere. This makes for a remarkable outdoor experience whether it is hiking, surfing, swimming,or diving. It has fewer people than some of the other islands. This means seclusion is much easier to find. Kauai is very easy on the eyes. It is recommended that one be prepared to take many photos here. This is one place you will want to remember. Every part of the island has places worth seeing. No matter where you go on the island, it is a good choice. The people are friendly, and everyone is laid back. This is the place to relax and enjoy the natural world around you. There are many beaches, parks, waterfalls, and trails. Needless to say, it would be difficult to leave this paradise without a pleasant memory.
