Kauai is a magical gem that sits in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. It is a fantasyland of gigantic ferns, ancient trees, tangled vines, magnificent waterfalls, crystal clear streams, fascinating cliffs, and unspoiled beaches. Holding the title as the oldest of the Hawaiian Islands, this lush island is merely an infant when it comes to land masses – just five million years old and formed from a fiery volcano that has since gone quiet. With abundant rainfall that combines with fresh ocean breezes to create the perfect erosion machine, our beautiful valleys and gorges are carved. The cycle begins with Mt. Wai’ale’ale – this famous peak, often enshrouded in clouds and fog, is generally known as the wettest spot on earth - catching nearly 500 inches of rain per year! All that rainfall has to go somewhere -- and we will explore each crack along its journey to the ocean. Popular tour destinations include:
