On Kauai, “off the beaten path” means discovering dramatic beauty—and yourself.

As Hawaii’s oldest island, we can add Kauai to the list of things that just get better with age. Plan to divide your time between relaxing and exploring this island’s nearly endless list of fabulous natural phenomena, from the famed Na Pali Coast to the Spouting Horn, from the “sleeping giant” Nounou Mountain to Opaekaa Falls, and even the locations for filming blockbusters like Jurassic Park and Jurassic World. Off the dramatic shores of the island, snorkel or dive with colorful tropical marine life, and keep your eye on the horizon from December to April to spy behemoth humpback whales.
