Nawiliwili, Kauai United States of America

The port of Nawiliwili is located on the island of Kauai. Kauai is the oldest island in the Hawaiian archipelago and is nicknamed the Garden Island. You will find white sandy beaches and lush nature. Kauai has 43 beaches and its landscapes are spectacular. The Waimea Canyon nicknamed “Grand Canyon of the Pacific” and the coast of Na Pali are two majestic examples.

There are only two seasons, the drier summer, and the wetter, cloudy winter. But as everywhere in the islands of Hawaii, the showers are very short and few are the days when you do not see the sun.
