Let the fresh air of Kaua‘i’s Wailua River invigorate your soul. Breathe deeply at the edge of time-swept Waimea Canyon as it speaks to you without words. Refresh your spirit as legends of Nāpali (translates to “the cliffs”) Coast transport you back in time. Discover the royal heritage of Hawai‘i’s oldest island. Centuries before King Kamehameha I, the great unifier of the Hawaiian Islands, four ali‘i (chiefs) ruled their respective islands with absolute authority. Cloaked in the plumage of native birds, the ruling class of these islands were revered by their people and so celebrated that we still honor them today, centuries after their bones were secretly laid to rest. Their epic legacies, preserved in oli (chants) and mele (songs) form so much a part of each island, and live on as poetic testaments to their leadership prowess. The great chief of Kaua‘i, Manokalanipō, lived in the early 1400s. Legend remembers him as a gifted war strategist, having once defended Kaua‘i from waves of invaders with fewer than 500 warriors at his command. It is said that after that feat, no battles were fought on the island, and it was a time of peace, growth and prosperity for Kaua‘i. Today, a peak shaped like the mahiole (feathered helmet) stands tall in Kalāheo, named in honor of Manokalanipō. Each of the ruling chiefs of the islands of Hawai‘i promoted peace and prosperity through unity. Welcome to Kaua‘i —peaceful, lush and naturally spectacular.
