About Kauai
Hanalei river, Kauai
The island of Kauai is a far cry from the overburdened bustle and hype of Honolulu or Maui. By some virtue, Kauai has retained its rustic and relaxed appeal. Perhaps it is that Kauai, being the oldest in the chain of Hawaiian Islands, is the most stubborn and unwilling to change. Estimated to be approximately 7 million years old, the island is but a small eroded remnant of a much larger volcano, long-since extinct. The elements of wind, rain, and surf have over the eons whittled away at the rock, sculpting the land into a varied terrain of deep verdant valleys, vertical cliff walls, and long meandering seashores.
