Kauai, Hawaii, lovingly known as The Garden Isle, is gorgeous from any angle, but with most of the island totally inaccessible by car, it’s best to take to the air for the truly incomparable views.
Kauai, the oldest of the Hawaiian Islands, is also the lushest and most varied of the bunch. Most of Kauai’s 552 square miles are totally inaccessible by road, which means that much of the island is still wildly remote and untamed. Visitors hopping from beach to beach by car will miss out on Kauai’s most majestic views via an hour-long helicopter tour.
