Kauai [24] is the northwestern most of Hawaii's major islands. Nicknamed the Garden Island, it is covered with lush greenery and tropical plants, watered regularly by abundant rainfall.
Kauai's location in the northern Pacific, along with its fascinating high mountain formations and the prevailing tradewinds create this unusual spectrum of climate conditions. The North Shore is more tropical (rainy) and green, while the South Shore (Poipu) has the most sunshine. During the summer months rainfall tends to be very brief, with short bursts followed by sunshine.
