Upon landing on the island of Kauai, you may feel as if you’ve traveled back in time. Lush green foliage and misty mountaintops fill the landscape. One of the first things you will notice is the towering Mt. Waialeale, a giant mountain located in the center of the island, which is famous for being the wettest place on earth. One of the best ways to experience this breathtaking terrain is by air. Contact one of the several companies that offers helicopter tours of the island to get a bird’s-eye view of this magical land.

Once you touch back down on the ground, head to the Kauai Museum. Here you can learn all about the history and culture of the people who inhabit the island, view works by local artists and purchase some authentic souvenirs from the museum’s gift shop.
