Kaua‘i – The Hawaii Islands

Welcome to Mālama Kaua‘i

Kaua‘i is the oldest island in the archipelago and offers incredible wonders. It’s known as the Garden Island and is the perfect place to be enchanted by beauty and nature and to create unforgettable memories.

On Kaua‘i you can hike near Līhu‘e through the lush green rainforests to waterfalls such as Wailua Falls. You can explore the dramatic coastline of the Nāpali Coast by a boat tour or helicopter flight. Or visit pristine beaches like Po‘ipū Beach and Princeville Beach to snorkel, surf, kayak or just to kick back and relax on the beach.

Don’t miss Waimea Canyon for unforgettable views and immerse yourself in Hawai‘is rich culture with a traditional lū‘au. For food lovers, must-haves are delicious poke and fresh pineapple.

What makes Hawaiian music unique?

``Hawaiian music has evolved over several generations and now it’s available at the push of a button. As a practicing musician, I’m able to access older recordings now and that’s the treasure chest many of us look to. We want to continue the traditions and learn what was put down before.``
