Kauai Island

Sharp peaks, sheer cliffs, valley gorges, shimmering delicate waterfalls, and sugar plantations, Kauai is Hawaii at its most lush, green and tropical. Its north shore receives more rain per year than anywhere else in America. Secret Beach, a one mile secluded strech of sand, is found by driving down a dirt road followed by hiking a steep and slippery footpath. The legendary Na Pali cliffs, rising 4,000 feet above the sea, are here too.
