Kauai named Hawaii’s ‘No 1 Island’

The Kauai Visitors Bureau today announced that Travel + Leisure magazine has named Kauai the fourth-best island in the world and island-rich Hawaii’s No 1 island.

Announced recently in customary fashion on the “Today Show”, these distinctions for Kauai were garnered via a numerical rating system which tabulates feedback from Travel + Leisure readers.

Survey respondents judged islands on five characteristics: natural attractions, activities/sights, restaurants/food, people and value.

One of Kauai’s highly acclaimed activity options is its golf, which includes a coalition of golf clubs and affiliated resorts, virtually all of which are rated among the best in their category. They combine to offer visitors a wealth of holes, diverse beauty, terrain and design styles featuring everything from tropical golf brilliance to layouts overlooking the Pacific Ocean from cliffs caressed by trade winds.

“Kauai is honoured by this award as it comes from travellers, people who have many choices but opt to spend their precious time and resources based on their experiences,” says Sue Kanoho, Executive Director of the Kauai Visitors Bureau.

“Visitors are increasingly recognizing our golf experiences which is appropriately reflected in our promise ‘Kauai: Discover Golf’s Ultimate Island Green’ ”.
