The island of Kauai is one of the wettest spots on the earth because it has an average rainfall per year of 460 inches. Wow, that is a lot of rain! Kauai is, however, the oldest of the main Hawaiian Islands and is fourth largest. It is 552.3 square miles and is the 21st largest island in the United States. Kauai has two very large mountain peaks both over 5000 feet tall. The tallest is called Kawaikini at 5,243 feet and the second is called Mount Wai’ale’ale at 5148 feet. Besides Kauai’s amazing geography, the island itself has a lot of fun and interesting things to do. On this field trip we will stop to look at some of the many tourist attractions in Kauai. Some of them may include The Spouting Horn, Princeville North Shore, Fern Grotto, and Ke’e Beach. Writing down facts and things you learned along the way will really help you in writing your final paper. The last and final stop on our journey will be Maui.
