Explore the Wondrous Waimea Canyon and Napali Coast in Kauai, Hawaii
Kauai, above all else, is known for the beautiful natural landscape and lush jungle that covers the island, hence the nickname: the Garden Isle. Two of the most popular natural phenomena on Kauai are Waimea Canyon and the Napali Coast. What makes these two sites so popular are not only how much of the island they traverse, but their beauty. Many call Waimea Canyon, the Grand Canyon of the Pacific– and make it their #1 goal to hike the various trails that zig zag through the crater. Alternatively, Nepali Coast is revered for its towering cliffs as well as the mysteries that are uncovered when venturing alongside the land on a local boat tour.
However, our suggestion for the best way to visit these two most popular landmarks in Kauai, Hawaii is to book an air tour! This will allow you to gain access to many areas of both these natural landscapes that are unseen and inaccessible any other way.
Uncover Kauai’s Hidden Beaches to Beat the July Heat
Aside from the wondrous canyons and cliffs of Waimea and Napali, Kauai is home to an abundance of hidden gems. If you are traveling to Hawaii this summer, you may want to have assurance of a quick way to cool off like an uncrowded, hidden beach. Surprisingly, there are a good amount of hidden beaches around the circular island of Kauai, Hawaii– the only problem is gaining access to them. If you aren’t able to charter a private helicopter to land directly on these beaches, check local Facebook groups, or all trails to see if there are any hikes you can embark on to reach these beaches.
Alternative to hiking, you can embark on a boat tour or airplane tour to scope out these beaches for yourself. Some local boat tours will even explore various reefs and inlets that others may not know about.
Set Off on a Summer Helicopter Tour of the Hawaiian Island
One of our favorite activities during the month of July is to embark on a Kauai helicopter tour over the entire island. You will have the chance to explore those hidden beaches, Napali Coast and Waimea Canyon that we mentioned– as well as feel the wind in your hair, if opting for a doors off adventure.
July in Kauai, not only rhymes, but offers a perfect blend of outdoor adventures, cultural experiences, and opportunities to relax and enjoy the island’s natural wonders. There is so much to do and explore in the summer, without the harsher weather that may arrive during the rainier seasons of the year.
