Travel: Experience Kauai’s magical, mystical North Shore

Kauai is the smallest, northernmost and geologically oldest of the Hawaiian islands and boasts one of the most stunning island settings in the world.  Just 552 square miles in size, the Garden Island’s landscape gets lush and wild on the remote North Shore, only about an hour’s drive (30 miles) from the airport in Lihue.

Here you’ll find the beautiful crescent-shaped Hanalei Bay ringed by the famously rugged cliffs of the Napali coast, plus an unspoiled, beach-lined coastline that bursts with wild Pacific beauty.
