Kauai: Na Pali Coast

Na Pali Coast Park

Na Pali Coast is one of Hawaii's (and, arguably, the world's) most spectacular hiking parks. Pali means "cliffs" in Hawaiian. The outstanding beauty of green scenery and rugged coastline makes Na Pali Coast the Hawaii's most visited attraction. Sightseeing of marine life - dolphins, turtles, monk seals and whales - adds popularity to Na Pali Coast.

Waimea Canyon

Kauai: Waimea Canyon

Waimea Canyon is located on the west side of Kauai island. It is often called "the Grand Canyon of the Pacific", but it is smaller in size and a mere 200 million years younger than the Grand Canyon of Arizona. Anyway, the view is spectacular and it seems incredible that such an immense canyon could be tucked away in such a small island. more >>
