Things To Know Before Visiting Hawaii - Travel Guide

Ni’ihau

Ni’ihau is the westernmost inhabited island, lying just southwest of nearby Kaua’i. The likelihood that you’ll wind up here is low, however, as the island is largely off-limits to visitors. Only U.S. Navy personnel, relatives of the island’s owners, and those who have been exclusively invited are permitted. Consequently, Ni’ihau has become known as the Forbidden Isle.
