Hawaii’s Garden Isle
Kauai is where nature reigns supreme. Nicknamed the Garden Isle, it’s the oldest and greenest of the Hawaiian Islands, with emerald valleys, misty mountains, cascading waterfalls, and pristine beaches stretching for miles. Rugged cliffs line the iconic Nāpali Coast, while the Wailua River winds through lush rainforest. Whether you’re hiking to hidden viewpoints, kayaking through jungle landscapes, or just soaking up the serenity of Hanalei Bay, Kauai invites you to connect with the wild beauty of Hawaii. Your Envoyage advisor will craft a journey tailored to your pace—whether it’s full of adventure or serene relaxation.
