Kauai Island Information Resource From a Century 21 Top Agent

About Kauai, The Garden Island

Kauai, also known as the Garden Island, is the northernmost of the 4 largest islands in the Hawaiian archipelago. It was formed about 50 million years ago and according to legend, is the handiwork of Pele, Goddess of Fire, who is still actively at work on the Big Island. It's shape is roughly circular with an area of about 550 square miles. One major road circumnavigates the majority of the island although the 17-mile Napali Coast is too rugged for roads and can only be seen by air, sea, or backpacking. Think of the primary road as a horseshoe with the part between the open ends being inaccessible by car. The population of Kauai County which includes the islands of Kauai and nearby Niihau is somewhat in excess of 60,000 residents, a relatively small number.

In Kauai, every day is a pleasant day regardless of the time of year. The Winter months are slightly cooler than Summer and a bit more rainy. Daytime temperatures are always pleasant and the evening coolness a nice change, sometimes slightly on the chilly side in Winter.

The highest point on Kauai is Mount Waialeale at 5,148 feet. It's known as the wettest spot on earth (over 400 inches of rain per year) but it's very localized to this inaccessible area and leaves most of the remainder of the island basking in sunshine.
