Travel Kuoni

Let Kaua'i seduce you with its chartreuse shades, cloud-capped peaks and beaches so beautiful that barefoot wandering is de rigueur.

Succumb to the siren call of seclusion on the irresistible island of Kaua'i. Discover wild and remote hiking trails that lead to lush jungle, dramatic drop offs, multi-coloured canyons and cascading waterfalls. With it towering velvet green and red rock sea cliffs, Kauai has a devastating beauty that feels raw and almost untouched. See the breathtaking Na Pali Coast on a doors-off helicopter ride and you’ll understand why it was chosen as the location of Isla Nubla in the Jurassic Park films.

With just one main road winding through the island and hugging the coast, Kaua'i is a small but stunning spot for slow-mo escape and somewhere you’re just as likely to be drinking ginger margaritas at farm-to-table restaurants as you are to see wild chickens hanging out on golden sands.

If you’re looking to land in some of the most beautiful places in the world, you’ve come to the right place. we offer handpicked inspiration and carefully curated holidays.

Kauai Eco Adventure

This helicopter flight is a fast, comprehensive way to see Kauaʻi’s most dramatic landscapes in one go. You’ll fly over remote valleys, waterfalls, deep canyons and the Nā Pali Coast, covering areas that are difficult or impossible to reach by road. It’s a short but wide-ranging experience, designed for anyone who wants a clear sense of the island’s scale and scenery without spending days travelling around it.

Lift off by helicopter and watch Kauaʻi turn cinematic. You’ll glide into the Hanapēpē Valley to see Manawaiopuna Falls, better known as the Jurassic Park waterfalls. From there, it’s on to Olokele Canyon and the vast, rust-red folds of Waimea Canyon, often called the Grand Canyon of the Pacific, where waterfalls spill down the cliffs. Then comes the north shore, and this is where things get even more dramatic. You’ll trace the Nā Pali Coast’s towering sea cliffs, rising thousands of feet straight out of the ocean, sweep over the turquoise waters of Hanalei Bay, and spot the Princeville area tucked neatly into the greenery.

If the weather’s playing nicely, your pilot will finish strong with Mount Waiʻaleʻale, a dormant volcano and one of the wettest places on Earth. All that rain has a point. It feeds a riot of waterfalls and deep green ridges that feel almost unreal. It’s scenic, immersive, and adventurous enough to brag about later. Kauaʻi from the ground is lovely. From the air, it’s unforgettable.
