Kauai Hawaii
Kaua'i is what people imagine when they think of Hawai'i. Nicknamed, "The Garden Island", Kaua'i is the oldest and northern most of the major islands in the Hawaiian Island chain.
Kaua'i is an island of contrasts - gentle, rolling countrysides; jagged, forbidding mountains; magnificent canyons and desert-like sand dunes.
The island of Kaua'i is roughly circular in shape, consisting of 552 square miles of land, making it the fourth-largest in the island chain. Most of Kaua'i's interior is rugged mountain terrain, uninhabited and inaccessible except by air. The island's populated areas - both residential and resort communities - are scattered around its coastal perimeter. Kaua'i is 33 miles wide and 25 miles long, with 143 miles of coastline. Graced with more than 40 white sand beaches, Kaua'i boasts more beaches per mile of coastline than any of the other Hawaiian islands.
Kaua'i is blessed with a moderate climate year-round, with little seasonal variation in temperature. Its seasons roughly break down into two periods: May through August, with a temperature range of mid 70's to a high in the low 90's; and September through April, which tends to be slightly cooler with temperatures ranging from the mid 60's to highs in the upper 70's.
Rainfall varies greatly around the island. The 5,075-foot high summit of Mt. Waialeale is one of the wettest spots on earth, averaging 444 annual inches of rain. As Kauai's watershed, it is the fountainhead of all seven major rivers on the island. Yet, only a few miles away, on Kauai's west and south sides, rainfall may only average 20 to 35 inches per year. The overall average for Kauai's populated areas is 44 inches annually.
Kauai, the Garden Isle is so full of
life, beauty and remains so unspoiled.
Here you will find plant species found no where else in the world
and scenery unmatched by anything worldly.
Mahalo and enjoy your Kauai vacation.
