to much rain

Kauai is an easygoing and easisly manageable island. You'll absolutely need a rental car here! Aloha ~

Kauai has been my home for all my life and I can't see myself ever leaving, even after death. This is my heaven. Aloha.

Best island for outdoor enthusiasts. No nightlife, but that isn't the point.

i have been 2 hawaii it is pretty cool

Most beautiful place I have ever seen. Rent a four-wheel Jeep. Don't miss Na Pali, Waimea Canyon, Hanalei Bay, and especially Ke'e Beach. If you ever wanted to feel like you were the only two people on Earth, this is the place.

Kauai has definitely made it's way into my heart. It has become one of my favorite places that I have ever been. We saw whales, turtles, birds, surfers...etc. So amazing. If you go there, make sure to see spouting horn. We saw it in pouring rain and it was awesome - shot almost 20 feet into the air!

It's good for outdoor stuff but there isn't really a whole lot of other things to do. I know, kayaking, surfing, the helicopter trip around the island. C'mon though... What about party time?

Known as the Garden Isle, Kauai is a very rainy and green island. In fact, the rainiest spot on earth is found in the interior of the island. This island is far more low key than Maui or Oahu, but all that's made up by great scenery and the best beaches in Hawaii. Take a helicopter tour of the Na Pali Coast, which is an uaccessible stretch of coastline on the northwest end of the island, the mountains end right at the beach, plunging into the sea. Its extremely dramatic, with beaches that have probably never seen a human footprint on them. You can see waterfalls going straight into the ocean. There's also great surfing nearby. In the interior, they have the Waimea Canyon, which is known as the Grand Canyon of Hawaii. This is Hawaii as everyone imagines it, a very interesting little island.

I loved this place as much as any place that I've been the last 10 years. It sounds a little weird, but Kaui has this strange energy to it - apparently you either love it, or you hate it. I stayed on the North Side in Hanalei Bay, and it was totally chill. There was a nice spot for beginning / intermediate surfers with a nice long break right by the pier. The hiking up on the Na Pali coast was out of this world. I hiked in four miles to a deserted waterfall, swam, hung out, and it was perfect. I also rented a jeep to check out the big gorge that kind of looks like the Grand Canyon. The gorge was nice, but even better was driving on the beaches on the south / west side of the island. Not a soul there. Kauai does not have any nightlife - in fact there is only one major road that loops the perimeter of the island... This place is also not the safest place to take a vacation. A bartender at a restuarant was telling me that a number of tourists drown each year in the crazy currents, or disappear along the rough Na Pali coast. Danger aside, Kauai is a beautiful, rugged, chill place.
