Frequently Asked Questions
Where is Kauai located?

When is the best time to visit Kauai?
Kauai has warm temperatures year-round, ranging from 66–85°F (19–30°C). Spring and early summer are frequently suggested for lighter rainfall, but each season highlights unique aspects of the island’s scenery and activities.
What are some things to do near Kauai?
Kauai has opportunities to explore coastal parks, scenic hiking trails, and locally rooted markets. Many visitors enjoy activities like wandering Waimea Canyon, discovering the Napali Coast, or joining cultural tours around historic towns.

All about Kauai
Kauai’s reputation as the most tropical of all the Hawaiian Islands is well deserved. The verdant isle, which erupted into existence over 5 million years ago, is 552 square miles of emerald jungles, jagged volcanic spires, lush waterfalls, aquamarine pools, and some of the world’s most beautiful beaches. If you’re the active type, there’s so much to do on Kauai — hiking, snorkeling, sailing, scuba diving, horseback riding, and much more. The island is also a mellower and less crowded experience when compared to either Oahu or Maui, and it’s not uncommon to find a stretch of beach or hiking trail to call your own.
What are the top things to do in Kauai?
Na Pali Coast Trail
Even if you don’t consider yourself much of a hiker, the first 2 miles of the 11-mile out-and-back Kalalau Trail deserve the effort. The views along this steep oceanside trail are spectacular, with a picturesque pocket beach and the hidden valley of Hanakāpī‘ai awaiting.
Waimea Canyon State Park
Imagine the Grand Canyon overtaken by a tropical jungle and you get a rudimentary sense of the awe-inspiring vistas visitors experience while surveying this majestic, red-tinged canyon.
Mount Waiʻaleʻale
Anyone approaching the sheer emerald walls of Mount Waiʻaleʻale, which reach upward 5,148 feet, shouldn’t expect to stay dry. Reputedly the wettest place on Earth and the originating source of all seven of Kauai’s rivers, Mount Waiʻaleʻale requires a special guide (or helicopter ride) to explore, but is a uniquely Kauai experience.
