KAUAI
ISLAND, HAWAII : Although no point on
the tiny island of KAUAI is as much as a dozen miles
from the sea, the variety of its landscapes is quite
incredible. This is the oldest of the major islands,
and erosion has spent that many more million years to
sculpt it into fantastic shapes. The mist-shrouded extinct
volcano Mount Waialeale at its heart is the world's
wettest spot, draining into a high landlocked swamp,
full of unique plants and animals. Nearby is the chasm
of Waimea Canyon , while the north shore holds the vertiginous
green cliffs of the awe-inspiring Na Pali coast, familiar
to millions from films such as Jurassic Park and South
Pacific but the sole preserve of adventurous hikers
.
Kauai is a place to be active, on sea and land; and
if you only go on one helicopter flight in your life,
this is where to do it, despite recent restrictions
on how low they can fly. |
