Called the “Garden Isle” of Hawaii, Kauai is one of the lushest islands in the state with scenic mountains and waterfalls. You can witness the region’s natural beauty at Na Pali Coast State Wilderness Park or Waimea Canyon. Allerton Garden, Princeville Botanical Garden, and McBryde Garden are must-visits if you want to see exotic flower species and spot adorable birds. Or, head to Wailua Falls to see a breathtaking double waterfall cascading down a height of 80.0 feet (24.3 meters). If you are looking for a slightly higher degree of adventure you can take Kalalau Trail.
