Kauai is known for its natural and raw beauty. It has majestic mountains, canyons, waterfalls, beaches, cliffs and lush vegetation.

It's nicknamed "the Garden Isle" thanks to the tropical rainforest covering much of its surface.

It is the oldest and most established island and because of this has been featured in countless tv shows and movies including Jurassic Park.

• Total area of 552 mi

• Highest Point is 5,243 ft

• Population around 75,000

Blue Hawaiian Helicopters

The mountains and canyons in Kauai will take your breath away.

Don’t let a little bit of rain scare you, it just makes it better because the waterfalls flow harder and you get rainbows.

Bring: a jacket, camera and gopro

The folks at Blue Hawaiian Helicopters did us right and this is a must-do.

You will not see all this stuff without a chopper and from the air is so much better.

Just go to the sight and book.

Queens Bath

Nā Pali Coast

This needs to be mentioned here, I do have a separate post for this with more details.

Bring- Hiking Boots with good tread on them, backpack, water, protein bar, camera, GoPro, small rain jacket-stuff in bag,

Do Not- Fall of the cliffs, they are steep and slippery and people fall more than they should. If you fall, you probably won’t make it and if you do I promise you will not like it.

Kauai ATV

We found Kauai ATV on Trip Advisor and picked them at random with no background knowledge, I must say they get a gold star. We had a blast and they even had a toy t-rex in their pocket for this great picture. If you come to Kauai and this sounds fun, check these guys out: https://kauaiatv.com

Bring: a hanker chip or neck gator to cover your mouth- it gets dusty out here, camera and or GoPro, suntan lotion.

Waimea Canyon State Park

You will need: hiking boots, tall socks if you got em, camera, cargo shorts, water.
