Kauai is called the Garden Island because of its lush, gorgeous greenery and beautiful gardens. Its natural grandeur has made it the location of over seventy-five movies, including Jurassic Park. From above, the island looks like a circle, with 5,170-foot Kawaikini Peak in the center. Nearby is 5,080-foot Mount Waialeale, the world’s rainiest spot, with an average annual rainfall of 460 inches. Dozens of streams flow from this rainforest area to the sea through deep canyons, which have been worn into the volcanic rock that forms the island. One of these canyons, Waimea, has cut vast chasms of colorful sheer rock walls 2,857 feet high, which look much like the rock formations in the Grand Canyon of Arizona. The rugged, soaring Na Pali cliffs on the northwestern coast make it impossible to build a road entirely around the island. The easiest and most convenient way to enjoy the dramatic natural beauty of Kauai - the heart of the Hawaiian paradise - is at one of the many luxurious Kauai vacation rentals which are available at prices to fit any budget. Kauai’s famous beaches include the golden sand beaches of the Coconut Coast, Mahaulepu Beach with its ancient petroglyphs, and the rocky Shipwreck Beach (both perfect for snorkeling or scuba diving). Poipu Beach is continuously ranked as one of the world’s top beaches. From plunging ravines, cascading waterfalls, unforgettable cliffs, canyons, beaches, and bays, Kauai has it all.
