About KauaiKauai is nicknamed the Garden Isle, possibly because the entire island, with it's sculpted, green mountains and lush tropical foliage, is beautiful enough to be part of a planned garden of eden. The island prides itself on staying 'hawaiian' and limiting the height of the buildings to that of a mature coconut tree. You won't find a honolulu-like concrete jungle anywhere on Kauai. 
You also won't find the nightlife of Maui or the large shopping centers of Oahu - sure, there are bars for drinks and small clubs for dancing, but you won't be partying the night away. If you are looking for a nightlife, try Oahu or Maui. Stick with Kauai for long, white beaches; gorgeous waterfalls; quiet relaxation; and breathtaking natural attractions.Kauai WeatherThe weather changes dramatically depending on the area of the island, but it is generally between 75 and 80 degrees F all year long. The South Side is usually hot and dry, while the East and North sides get more rain and cooling tradewinds.Kauai at a Glance
