Hawai'i's Aquatic Garden

The Tunnels, a dive site on Kaua'i's north shore


Kaua'i, known as Hawai'i's "Garden Isle" features a landscape as lush as any of the Hawaiian Isles. Many come here to hike among the dazzling waterfalls, visit the man-made "glass beach", covered with thousands of pieces of glass dumped offshore then washed and polished by the sea, or hike the famous Napali Coastline. There are relatively few who come here to dive. Yet, the Garden Isle offers just as much diversity and splendor under its waters, as it does above.
