Kauai and its Charms
Kauai, also known as "The Garden Isle" is known for its lush landscape and magnificent waterfalls. The island is one of the oldest known land areas in the world with most of the island being rural, forested and protected from commercial development.
Kauai hosts several diverse climates including semi-tropical, swamp land and desert. There are over 40 white sand beaches or 50 miles of beach; mountains that reach over 3,500 feet high and the only navigable rivers in Hawaii.
Kauai receives the most rainfall anywhere in the world; however, don't let that be a concern to you as most of the rain occurs in the interior of the island around Mt. Wai`ale`ale. This area is mostly inaccessible. Showers are more often fleeting, with sunny skies that follow almost immediately.
