The top tourist attractions of Kauai are the natural parks and the coastal region with spectacular cliffs and secluded beaches. Some of the best are:
Waimea Canyon, the Grand Canyon of the Pacific is a quite a view. Great for hikers and campers, it resembles it's counterpart in Arizona but has more vegetation.
Kauai Hawaii, Waimea Canyon Na Pali Coast, on the western part of Kauai, is the iconic view of the island. Here, stunning high mountain cliffs reach the ocean. Given the steepness of the cliffs, tourist can reach the beaches and caves only by sea. Experienced hikers with the proper equipment can also hike around the coast.
