KAUA‘I AWARDS THE GARDEN ISLAND B E ST O F KAUA‘ I
INTRODUCTION Aloha, The Garden Island Newspaper is honored to present this year’s Best of Kaua‘i 2021, filled with premier businesses, people and activities from across our island. Congratulations to all our winners and finalists featured throughout this 52-page section. You were all voted “the best” by our readers: your patrons and customers. Here, we get a taste of what makes our island a sought-after destination. But more importantly, we are reminded why we call Kaua‘i home. Diving into this Best of Kaua‘i 2021, I am inspired by our community’s resilience, dedication to our unique goals and fortitude throughout this ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. May we continue to encourage one another by supporting our local businesses and community members. Mahalo to all those who helped to make this Best of Kaua‘i 2021, with sincere gratitude to our readers, voters, advertisers and staff. We hope to see you again next year. Mahalo, Sabrina Bodon Editor
