Hotels in Kauai, United States
Kauai, Hawaii's oldest island, is famous for its lush rainforests and dramatic Na Pali Coast cliffs. The climate stays warm year-round (70-80°F / 21-27°C), with dry summers perfect for hiking Waimea Canyon or kayaking the Wailua River, and wet winters bringing roaring waterfalls like those at Hanalei Bay, plus humpback whale watching from December to April. If you visit in summer, boat tours along the Na Pali Coast are a must, while winter offers quieter trails and cheaper stays in Poipu-pick the north shore for rugged beauty or the south for sunny beaches.
