The island of Kauai definitely lives up to its name as the Island of Paradise. It is very lush and so beautiful. We spent eleven days on the island and spent our time between the North Shore and the South. They are completely different and both are worthy of splitting your time. We did most of what Kauai has to offer and it had us wanting to get our next visit on the books.
There is only one road on the island, North and South, that is why the travel time is 1.5-2.0 hours to get from one side to the other.
