Hawaii Honeymoon

1.  Kauai is Hawaii’s fourth largest island and is sometimes
called the “Garden Isle,” which is an entirely accurate
description. The oldest and northernmost island in the
Hawaiian chain is draped in emerald valleys, sharp
mountain spires and jagged cliffs, aged by time and the
elements. Centuries of growth have formed tropical
rainforests, forking rivers and cascading waterfalls. Some
parts of Kauai are only accessible by sea or air, revealing
views beyond your imagination.
 Occupying 552 square miles, Kauai is circular in shape
with lush, mountainous regions in its center and beaches
covering almost half its shoreline. Kauai’s age makes it
one of the most scenic islands in Hawaii from the 3,000-
foot elevations of Waimea Canyon to the waterfalls and
deep gorges of 5,148-foot Mount Waialeale in the
uninhabited center of Kauai, which you can only view by
air.

3.  Lihue is the government and commercial center of the island as
well as a cultural and historical area. This may be the most
traveled town on Kauai since its home to Kauai’s main airport
(the Lihue Airport) and Nawiliwili Harbor, the island's major
commercial shipping center and cruise ship port.
 Lihue has a variety of beaches and natural wonders to explore.
Kalapaki Beach is the home of the Marriott Kauai's Beach Club
and the Kauai Lagoons Golf Club. Bodysurfing, windsurfing
and swimming make Kalapaki a popular destination. Ninini
Beach is home to an automated lighthouse, operating since 1897.
And just north of Lihue, don’t forget to stop at the Wailua Falls
lookout for an amazing waterfall view.
 The Lihue area also has numerous historical spots including
Alekoko (Menehune Fishpond), a roughly 1000-year old
aquaculture reservoir; Kilohana, a historic plantation estate; and
both the historic Kauai Museum and Grove Farm Homestead
Museum. Lihue is your gateway to adventure on Kauai.

4.  Kauai's East Side is sometimes referred to as the Coconut Coast for the
groves of coconut palms that grow in its resort areas. The most
populated district on the island, about 16,000 of the island's 62,000
residents reside in the Wailua/Kapaa area. Amongst the clusters of
coconut trees you’ll find historic places, amazing beaches and
memorable attractions.
 In Wailua, you’ll find a variety of sightseeing opportunities and
outdoor activities. Kayak the Wailua River in Wailua River State Park,
take a boat ride to the Fern Grotto, or take photos at Opaekaa Falls.
Don’t forget to try and spot the Sleeping Giant in the Nounou
Mountains or take a hike up this scenic ridge. Sacred places like Polihau
Heiau, the large lava-rock temple of Kauai’s last king, Kaumualii, can
also be found on the East Side. And be sure to visit Kapaa Town to
discover fine Hawaiian craft pieces, aloha-print shirts, jewelry and art.
 But the golden beaches of the Coconut Coast may be the area’s biggest
draw. Unwind at Anahola Beach Park, whale watch at Donkey Beach or
watch the surfers at Kealia Beach to the north. Lydgate Beach Park in
Wailua has two lava rock enclosed ocean pools that are perfect places
for families and first-time snorkelers. Fun in the sun awaits you on the
Coconut Coast.

6.  The sunny South Shore of Kauai is home to historic Old Koloa
Town and the resort area of Poipu. This is an area of activity and
historic attractions. Whether you’re playing on a championship
golf course or exploring the Koloa Heritage Trail to learn more
about Kauai’s history, there’s something for everyone on the
South Shore.
 A good place to start is spending the day at Poipu Beach Park,
which was once named one of America’s best beaches. Nearby
Spouting Horn features a blowhole that releases a spout of water
up to 20 feet or more into the air. See why Kauai is nicknamed
“The Garden Isle” at two National Tropical Botanical Gardens:
McBryde Garden, featuring 259-acres of gardens and world’s
largest collection of Hawaiian plants, and Allerton Garden, an 80-
acre gem with sophisticated garden design and the giant
Moreton Figs made famous in the film “Jurassic Park.” You’ll
even find the Kauai Coffee farm tour just a few miles west of
Poipu. Discover a variety of activities and attractions on Kauai’s
South Shore.

9.  Kauai's dramatic North Shore is an enchanting setting full of rugged mountains,
lush taro fields, heavenly beaches and spectacular sea cliffs. You’ll be amazed at
how much beauty can be found in just one area of Kauai.
 Begin your journey on the island’s northernmost point. Historic Kilauea
Lighthouse is a wildlife sanctuary and a scenic spot for whale watching. Visit
lovely Hanalei Town, home to stretches of green taro fields alongside colorful
shops, galleries and restaurants. You’ll also find some of Kauai’s best beaches here
including Lumahai Beach, the setting for the film “South Pacific,” and Kee Beach,
ideal for sunbathing. You can also learn about native plants and see scenic ocean
views at Na Aina Kai Botanical Gardens or at the 17-acre Limahuli Gardens, part
of the National Tropical Botanical Garden.
 But the most stunning feature of Kauai's North Shore is the magnificent Napali
Coast. This 17-mile stretch of coastline is lined with cliffs up to 3,000-foot tall,
accented with lush green valleys, cascading waterfalls and sea caves. Inaccessible
by car, you can hike or take an air or boat tour to view this breathtaking natural
wonder.
 The North Shore is also home to the upscale resort area of Princeville where you
can indulge in world-class hospitality and play at some of Kauai’s premier golf
courses. You can also find other accommodations here ranging from historic bed
and breakfasts to rental homes allowing everyone the opportunity to experience
the beauty of Kauai’s North Shore.

14.  Go west and get off the beaten path on Kauai. The West
Side is home to a few of Kauai’s most historic places and
scenic wonders, the most famous of which is the
breathtaking Waimea Canyon, the “Grand Canyon of
the Pacific.”
 But there is even more to explore. Head north beyond
the gorges and cliffs of Waimea Canyon and visit Kokee
State Park where you’ll find yet another amazing view
from the Kalalau Lookout. The two small towns of
Waimea and Hanapepe also grace the West Side. In
1778, Captain Cook first landed in the Hawaiian Islands
here at Waimea Bay. Today, a statue of Cook stands in
Waimea Town commemorating this event. Hanapepe is
the art capital of Kauai with galleries, shops and eateries
lining small town Hanapepe Road.

18.  Stroll through Smith's Tropical Gardens with over one mile of
meandering pathways surrounded by tropical splendor. Enjoy
lagoons teeming with fish, exotic peacocks and view over 20 types
of fruit in the orchard. Lu'au festivities start with an Imu
Ceremony - the unearthing of the traditional Kalua pig, cooked to
perfection in an underground oven. Enjoy a scrumptious dinner
and thirst-quenching cocktails while you witness Kauai's most
spectacular pageant at a torch lit lagoon amphitheater. The
International Pageant depicts dances and songs from Tahiti,
Hawaii, China, Japan, the Philippines, New Zealand and Samoa.
