Quick Facts About Kauai 

Island Overview

Kauai is the northernmost and oldest of Hawaii’s main islands, located roughly 105 miles northwest of Oahu.
Known as The Garden Isle, it’s famous for its dramatic mountains, tropical forests, waterfalls, and pristine beaches.
The island is compact and easy to navigate — about 33 miles wide and 25 miles long — making every region accessible with a short, scenic drive.

The island is divided into four major visitor areas, each offering a unique atmosphere:
