Kauai
Kauai- the paradise garden of Hawaii is the place where Captain Cook first set his feet in 1778. It is the only exception along with a few small neighboring islands that took the courage to defy attempts by King Kamehameha I for unification of Hawaii. At a latter point of time, however, the reigning King of Kauai agreed to the annexation with the unified Hawaii.
Specialties of the Kauai Island
The island is distinguished by its verdant green taro fields scattered over the entire island. The beautiful heart shaped leaves of taro plants symbolize the island of Kauai. Kauai is the oldest and northernmost of the chain of Hawaiian Islands; it was formed some six million years ago. Kauai’s stunning scenic beauty include sharp mountain spires and rough and steep cliffs on the one hand and lush green valleys on the other. The tropical climate is just right for the feathered friends; it is the abode of thirty one species of birds. The primitive origin resulted into many geological wonders; it is the home of Waimea Canyon, which is 10 miles long, and one mile wide.
