Kauai is what most people envision Hawaii to be. Waterfalls, mountains, crashing surf, dramatic landscapes and nature surrounds you everywhere you go.
It is also known as "the Garden Isle". I went to Kauai to hike the infamous Kalaulau trail. I was going to be there for a week and ended up spending nine months there. It is worth the side trip! I stayed in hostels, camped and even rented a treehouse for a little while. The north shore region is usually regarded as the best part for nature lovers and dramatic vistas.
