12 Most Gorgeous Islands on Planet Earth

Known as the Garden Isle, Kaua’i has pretty much everything you’d seek in tropical paradise and more. Rainforest encrusted interiors, tumbling white waterfalls, dramatic lava cliffs and the heady fragrance of blooms are omnipresent here. Its luxurious natural profile comprises phenomenally beautiful marine creatures and excellent diving conditions. Kaua’i isn’t as touristy as Maui or Oahu, which is why it tends to exudes a more relaxed, leisurely vibe. Visit Na Pali Coast, Waimea Canyon and the view from the dramatic Hanalei Bay cliffs.
