Kauai is often dubbed Garden Island, a well-assigned moniker. Scenic valleys and tropical rainforests surround it, so every visitor can slow down and breathe fresh air. For outdoor lovers, the island offers many recreational opportunities and spectacular destinations. Koke’e State Park and Waimea Canyon State Park are worth exploring, especially if you wish to reconnect with nature. Of course, the beaches here are also a must-see. Head to Ke’e Beach or Tunnels Beach to try snorkeling. Meanwhile, Kalapaki Beach is an excellent surfing destination.
