Unlike other Hawaiian islands, the only way to explore Kauai is by river. Many of the sites in Kauai can only be seen from the ocean or the air. However, since Kauai has the only passable rivers in Hawaii, boat tours down this 20 mile long river are the best way to really experience the beauty of the Island.
