Kauai

There’s a reason why Kauai has been the backdrop to dozens of Hollywood movies and TV shows. Its pristine waters, breathtaking mountains, tropical rainforests, cascading waterfalls, emerald valleys — every square inch of Hawaii’s fourth largest island is postcard perfect and camera ready. But beyond Kauai’s obvious natural beauty is an island filled with charming neighborhoods, hole-in-the-wall eateries and cultural sites just waiting to be discovered. There are less than 60,000 people who live on this island, so there’s a lot of open space to venture, roam and relax.
