Tell us about Kaua'i:

Kaua’i is heaven. Plain and simple. There is so much to do here. With so many natural resources to take advantage of it pains me to hear people describe it as boring. We may not be as modernized as Oahu, but what we offer is a truly unique Hawaiian experience. In a time where the most Hawaiian thing people do on their vacations is go to a Luau, Kaua’i offers an escape to the old world and the old way of living, without leaving the conveniences of America. Truly the best of both worlds: nature and industry. Kaua’i reigns supreme.

These photos show you all the magic that Kaua’i has to offer, for free.

A perfect day?

Waking up with sun and hitting the water before 7 am. Watching the swirling clouds dance from peak to peak against the soft orangey purple hues of the morning skyline. A quick hike into the mountains just to taste the sweet mountain air. Lunch at one of our killer local delis, and then back to the beach. More fun in the sun, till the sun starts to fall to the horizon. Then a night full of songs, spirits and star gazing. There’s something special about looking at the night sky, it lets you know everything is going to be alright.

What is the best thing about Kaua'i?

The endless possibilities.

What is the worst?

Overexposure.

What would be surprising about Kaua'i to an outsider?

The amount of things you can do in one single day here without spending a dime.

If Kaua'i was a person or character who would it be?

Walt Disney: if you dream it, you can achieve it, the possibilities are endless.

Who are three of your favorite artists?

Chris Burkard, Kanye West, and Virgil Abloh.
