Planted over a century ago as a gift from the Knudsen family, these majestic trees have grown into an iconic landmark, welcoming visitors with their lush, arching branches. The tunnel is particularly stunning during sunrise and sunset when golden light filters through the leaves, making it a favorite spot for photographers and nature lovers.
While the road is primarily a scenic drive, the Kauai Tree Tunnel also serves as a symbolic entrance to the historic sugar plantation town of Koloa and the sunny beaches of Poipu. It’s a must-see for those exploring Kauai’s natural beauty and history.
