The Garden Isle
Kauai - Hawaii's is an island of firsts. It is the oldest
of the inhabated Hawaiian isles. Because of its age, Kauai was the first of
the five major islands to develop the lush forests and vegetation which the
world has come to associate with Hawaii. Erosion has created some of the most
dramatic landscapes in the islands while reducing what was once a truly massive
volcano (Waialeale) to a height of about 5,000 feet at its summit. Kauai's
inhabitants were the first Hawaiians to come in contact with Europeans, when
Captain Cook landed near Waimea in 1778.
Among the natural attractions of Kauai is Waimea Canyon, known as the Grand
Canyon of the Pacific. Waimea Canyon is a huge, lush rift a few miles inland
from the Na Pali Coast on the leeward side of the island. Ten miles long and
2-3,000 feet deep, the canyon offers breathtaking views, spectacular waterfalls
and some of the densest rainforest in Hawaii. Further inland from Waimea Canyon
is what may be the wettest spot in the world. This area receives in excess
of 450 inches of rain annually
