Cruising Kauai -the garden aisle. Our cruising Kuaui photo tour. Ride along.

Kauai, Hawaii

-Also known as the Garden Isle of the Hawaiian archipelago, for it is covered in lush tropics.

The island of Kuaui is very small and crazy beautiful, with only one main road. Yet, this tiny island has a ton of things to see and do, besides just relaxing and taking in the splendor.

Some people may be completely satisfied lying on the beach every day. But my Brother and I decided we wanted to do something a little adventurous. Luckily, there was a moped rental right across from our hotel. They were great though, it rained off and on the first day we had them so they let us keep them one more day at no extra charge.

While renting the mopeds my grandmother asked my brother and I if we wanted a gps, we both died of laughter while saying no. There is literally no possible way we were going to get lost. Again there is only one main road with the occasional side roads. Off we went, cruising Kuaui.

Riding around this beautiful place with the smell of ocean everywhere, I found my feeling of freedom. We took many side roads, and rode the entire day. We did manage to get lost. But it was okay. The scenery gave me all the feels, seeing things such as Wailua falls, and the mountain known as the sleeping giant.

I find it difficult to put the beauty of this island into words.

Good thing I took pictures to speak them for me.
