Kauai
Lush Hawaiian island
Kauai is the fourth-largest and geologically oldest of the main Hawaiian Islands, known for its dramatic landscapes—the Na Pali Coast cliffs, Waimea Canyon, and lush tropical rainforest.
Called the "Garden Isle" for its verdant vegetation: We spent a week hiking in Kauai.
