Kaua’i For The Daring

The western side of The Island is much more lush, rugged, and mountainous. Inland is where you will find Waimea’s “Grand Canyon of the Pacific” - Waimea Canyon State Park. It’s a deep, colorful gorge with a spectacular viewpoint of Ni’hau Island. Enjoy a short nature trail and picnicking here, as well as seasonal fishing and hunting.Koke'e, Milolii, and Nualolo Kai State Parks are found on this side of The Island, as well as quite a few others. You’ll also come across multiple Natural Reserves and Wilderness Parks which are what help keep this side so pristine and perfect. However, you won’t be able to take any sort of RV rental out this way with plans on parking. Luckily, in the case of Waimea, you’re only about an hour drive from center Lihue.
