Get to know Kauai with Viator

Nicknamed the ""Garden Island"" for its lush, undeveloped landscapes, Kauai has long been a favorite among travelers looking for a quiet place to enjoy nature. This compact island feels worlds away from the skyscrapers of Waikiki, offering quiet towns and beautifully preserved beaches. The prettiest beaches are found on the Nāpali Coast, a rugged stretch of jungle and coastline that can only be reached by hiking in or taking a boat or helicopter.
