Welcome to Kaua‘i, “The Garden Isle.” As home to one of the wettest spots on earth. Kaua‘i’s verdant mountains and valleys live up to its billing as a lush, tropical paradise.

Kaua‘i is known for the Waimea Canyon, the Grand Canyon of the Pacific, the Fern Grotto, the Napali Coast and the championship golf courses. Kaua‘i is also popular with movie studios as tropical settings for film including,
“6 Days/7 Nights,” “Mighty Joe Young,” “The Lost World; Jurasic Park,”
“Blue Hawai‘i” and many more.

Lihu‘e is the county seat of Kaua‘i County, which has just 4.7 percent (56,435) of the state’s population. Quite a bit of Kaua‘i’s spectacular scenery is inaccessible by car. The best way to see it is by helicopter or for the Napali Coast, by boat.
