Book a room in a luxurious Kauai hotel to use as your home base as you explore this scenic Hawaiian island. Known as the Garden Island, Kauai is full of lush tropical greenery unlike any you’ve ever seen. Plan your Hawaiian vacation today, and you’ll soon be flying, kayaking, and hiking through these natural wonders.

Explore the many parks Kauai has to offer, where thick tree cover and rushing creeks are part of a wild landscape protected from development. Nā Pali Coast State Park has rugged hiking trails and scenic camping, while Polihale State Park, accessible only by a dirt road, offers white sand, a dramatic cliff, and seclusion on a remote beach.

Kauai's coastal region features a variety of aquatic environments such as ancient sea caves, calm lagoons, and spectacular waterfalls. It is also a world-renowned destination for surfing. There are plenty of opportunities to see these natural attractions, like a zip line through Kipu Falls. Jump off cliffs and ride rope swings into the cool waters. Reel in the catch of the day at Ahukini State Recreation Pier, which is located on Hanamaula Bay. Try kayaking through the scenic reserves of Huleia National Wildlife Refuge.

Kauai also features the vast mountain Sleeping Giant. Stare at the ridge from afar and, with a little imagination, you can make out what looks like a human figure lying on his back—that’s part of the native Hawaiian legend you’ll learn about during your visit. For more amazing views, hike Wailua Falls, backpack Kalalau Trail, or bicycle down Waimea Canyon, known as the Grand Canyon of the Pacific.
