Five Most Instagrammable Places in Kauai

January 05, 2020 Megan Potter

Kauai is one of the most naturally beautiful places in Hawaii. It's known as the Garden Island, and for good reason -- it's filled with rich forests and greenery. 

1. Waimea Canyon

Waimea Canyon is one of the most Instagrammable photo worthy places in Kauai because of the stunning views overlooking a major portion of the island! It is also a unique destination as you won’t find the “Grand Canyon” terrain anywhere else in Hawaii apart from Waimea!

2. Wailua Falls

If you’ve ever heard of the TV show Fantasy Island, Wailua Falls will look very familiar. It takes places here...and for good reason! Wailua is a double-tier waterfall that is used as a symbol for Kauai’s lush beauty. A perfect location to catch perfect Instagram photos in Kauai island.

3. Poipu Beach 

This crescent-shaped beach was named the best beach in America! Thus, making it completely Instagrammable. If you’re looking for perfect Instagram photos in Kauai, make sure to come in the morning. It gets crowded in the afternoon. After all, it is the most popular beach on the Shaka Guide Poipu and Koloa Driving Tour!

4. Hanalei Pier

Hanalei Pier is where you’ll get the calm beach oasis feel perfect for top and trending Instagram photos in Kauai. The beautiful landscape was once used as a working pier for cane sugar. Catch the sunset to make for a serene picture and try to visit on a weekday to avoid the local crowd.

5. Kilauea Lighthouse

With vast views overlooking the ocean, head to the Kilauea Lighthouse! This setting will make you feel in awe as you take in the beauty of the little outcrop of land where the lighthouse sits. It looks magical with the ocean cliffs, especially at sunrise or sunset. Take a picture with the backdrop of the ocean or snap a picture with the lighthouse in the background!
