A magical island in Hawaii.
Since travelling is still not really happening, and winter doesn't fully want to let go, I've been dreaming of tropical faraway places. One of the most magical places I've ever been to is the Hawaiian island of Kaua'i, where the landscapes looks otherworldly and stunning. A must visit for nature lovers.
The Hawaiian islands are in general a dreamy place, where I felt so at home among the friendly people, relaxed vibes and beautiful nature. From the busy streets of Honolulu to visiting Pearl Harbour's memorial sites to untouched beaches, there are many different worlds to be found. One could easily spend a few weeks on each island without getting bored. On our trip there we spent some time on Oahu and on Kaua'i.
The landscapes on Kaua'i are very hilly in comparison to some other islands, and have formations that are unlike I have every seen, even in other volcanic areas. The amazing nature has been the backdrop of many films such as Jurassic World or Pirates of the Caribbean: Stranger Tides. Other films which are also set in Hawaii and are connected tot he island life include Soul Surfer and The Descendants (see review here).
One of my favourite areas is the Kalalau trail, which is a hiking path leading to the most amazing landscapes and a hidden beach, which is only accessible on foot. The same are can also be accessed from higher up through he Way mea Canyon area, or seen by boat. We love the are so much that we did all three options, and I still felt like I could have spent more time there.
A trip to Kaua'i is something magical which will remain in my memories forever, and hopefully one day we will be able to go back and create some more.
